georgia high school association 7a playoffs as the 10th ranked tiff county blue devils have traveled the 210 miles north to take on the 8th right north cobb warriors as we take a look at the bracket tiff county the number three seed out of region one north cobb the number two seed out of region three winner of tonight's ball game advances to play either at lambert next friday night or host central gwinnett and good evening i'm matt stewart joined by big chuck smith and it's football time in georgia matt yes indeed it is tiff county in the playoffs just the second time in the last eight years looking for their first state playoff victory since 2008 taking on a north cobb team that's won four in a row and many consider this a dark horse team in the 7a field well exactly right tiff county they got it started last week by let's just say manhandling camden county but this north cobb team since they lost in the kitchen they've really turned it up and they're very dangerous right now going into the playoffs and one of the reasons they are very dangerous is a speedy fast athletic defense led by their linebacker chandler wooten espn four star he's committed to auburn and their cornerback drew techman who has 17 offers and you know techman he's a cover guy he can do all kinds of different things he's a great player but chandler wooten i expect him to have a few tie out hits tonight now you know we didn't talk about the fallout he's one of the best players in georgia he moves runs to the ball well he has a high iq at linebacker gets the job done i look forward to seeing him play tonight then tekman you'll see on the offensive side of the ball he is their leading wide receiver in receiving yards and also has five touchdown catches now tiff county comes in they run the spread they're led by their junior quarterback griffin collier got a great wide receiver and rashad bateman who's committed to georgia southern well he's a super-sized wide receiver bateman at six two 180 pounds there's nothing that can be thrown by a quarterback that he can't catch if it's in his range i look forward to you know big game from him tonight because look tiff's going to take some shots downfield it's going to be interesting to see how north cobb plays in the secondary and bateman was the leading wide receiver in region one seven a this season now the third member of our team as always is john nelson and he's on the sideline nelly thank you very much matt good evening to you good evening to hashtag dr rush and good evening however you're accessing us whether it's gpbtv gpb.org or the gpb sports app first thing those of us at georgia public broadcasting would like to do is thank those who serve those who have served and those who will serve here on this veterans day now to the game when you look at tift county making that 200 plus mile run up here to kennesaw acworth one of the things that head coach ashley anders said in transitioning from year one to year two was learning about attention to detail you want to talk attention to detail here's how they got here today breakfast in tifton left at 9 30 in the morning tried to come north got caught in traffic or delayed 45 minutes from their destination of woodward academy get off the bus at woodward academy have a special teams walk through and a bit of a box lunch then you get back on the bus you're already behind schedule so you have to come up through atlanta you run into problems up here in kennesaw trying to get to your location for nap time pretty much remember when we were in kindergarten you had nap time you checked out for a half an hour instead of an hour and then coming over here as the crow flies it's only five miles away from one destination to the other but it took him a half an hour welcome to friday traffic here in suburban atlanta tift county and north cobb an interesting matchup of region one coming all the way north matt and dr rush let's light a very special round one candle back to you all right thank you nelly it took him a half hour to go five miles that's pretty good time here in atlanta i mean that was a good day well you're exactly right five miles half an hour that's a good day that is a good day it was traffic was thick i mean no it's friday night that is i mean it's friday night you can't expect it here in the metro atlanta area i mean what do you expect you know well the captains are out there at midfield for the coin toss you see number seven will love it he's the big quarterback for the north cobb warriors first ever meeting between these two teams they've been playing football a long time this is the 59th year of football for the north cobb warriors they started the program way back in 1958 tiff county as a high school been playing since 1962 but they were tifton high school before that dating all the way back to 1915. so a lot of football been played the first time these two teams have ever played against each other north cobb won the toss and they have deferred so that means we're gonna see tiff county on offense for the first time here tonight warriors at eight and two they went four and one in region three seven a number two seed five-and-oh at home this season they've won four straight since their 17-10 loss at mckitchen on october 7th right here on gpb and tiff county led by the second year head coach ashley anders 11-9 he was in his fourth season at the school he originally joined tiff county as a defensive coordinator on john reed staff back in 2013 and reed went on to be the head coach at rome but uh been a defensive coordinator most of his career with chris hatcher at valdosta state at murray state and georgia southern yeah and he talked about the importance of attention to detail and anytime you travel on the road when you have high school players it's important you know you don't want to just distract anything from what's important and that's being ready for the playoff games we'll see if this tiff county team is ready they bounce back from a late two-game losing streak in the season to wallop camden county as you talked about about 30 minutes ago on our kamatsu forklift keys to the game they beat camden county 44-7 in a de facto regular season game that was also a playoff game they had to win that game to get into the playoffs this week you're right and also it showed up we talked about earlier in our kamatsu forklift keys of the game rashad bateman the junior 6-2 180 at wide receiver big time player had big plays in the camden county game all i mean throughout the entire game but we can't not mention fred lloyd number one at 6'5 210 he's another wide receiver of that north cobb's going to have to keep their eyes on and limit his catches well the north cobb warriors scored no less than 31 points during their win streak after scoring 18 points or less in three of their first six games and only one of their games in that four-game winning streak decided by a touchdown or less so they are playing their best football and head coach shane queen told us chuck that that uh loss to mckeecher a loss in which they had a 10-0 lead in the third quarter lost 17 to 10 refueled their team and that's growing up and that's what coach queen was talking about you grow up in games like that when you have adversity you there's a lot of things that you learn when you lose you know in defeat there's so many things that come out and what came out for this team coach queen said is that it came out that we can play with the big boys we can play with anyone and that's why they're here winning four in a row and they were refueled after losing to the kitchen i love it i like seeing young teams bounce back and letting adversity or a loss make them better [Applause] [Music] well here we go first round of the state playoffs winner advances to the second round [Music] playing either at lambert or hosting central gwinnett next friday night your opening kickoff is brought to you by heads up georgia don't text and drive distracted drivers take lives you're cranking it up here great crowd on hand north cobb all in orange and the blue devils and they're white and blue and will horton set to kick it off for the warriors i like that orange i kind of got an affinity for orange all shades of orange and this kick will not be returned as it hits seven yards deep in the end zone and bounces on through so tiff county will start on offense at their own 20-yard line and they are led by their junior quarterback he's making his 21st career start here tonight you see his numbers 161 for 263 passing that's 61.2 and even 2500 yards in the air just 20 the 21 touchdowns and just five interceptions for this junior quarterback this year well it tells me right now tiff county has to start fast griffin collier he has to come out they have to start fast and try to get get some respect early on from north cobb handoff goes to brenton jones he tries the left side and brenton jones picks up about six yards on the play trey urquhart making the tackle for north cobb as we take a look at the blue devils up front nash bragg the senior center the only well one of two seniors on that starting line in the son of offensive line coach chris bragg and brenton jones you saw just carry the ball right there 742 yards rushing on the season a defensive back that was converted to running back this season brenton jones with a big first down and moore crosses the 50 across the 40. got a block out there from watson brenton jones down to the 10-yard line and finally brought down at the six well we talked about starting fast i didn't know they're gonna start that fast but what a great start what a great run right off the bat from brenton jones 69-yard run for brenton jones finally brought down way downfield by the defensive end christian albright nice blocking by number 70. andrew self and you just talked a second ago about number 56 nash brag josh patrick now subs in after that long 69 yard run by brenton jones and that's the fullback cole patterson in motion behind the line setting on the left side josh patrick barely gets back to the line of scrimmage tackle made by langston parker the nose guard as we take a look at the north cobb warriors on defense it was parker who just made the tackle all brighton gatherers have combined for 18 quarterback sacks between them this season chandler wooten the espn 4 star who's committed to auburn and in the secondary drew tekman at corner has 17 offers including nc state and purdue collier rolling throwing caught that's a touchdown no incomplete he dropped it cam cobb had it could not hold on to it when he came down with it kevin johnson in the coverage and now it's going to be third down well nice design play i i like collier griffin i like the design of this play they fake an inside run gets him out in space that's what he's going to want back there now hits his hands what do they say when the ball hits your hands matt gotta catch got to catch it third down and goal from the six brenton jones back in there that's big number one fred lloyd you were talking about him the 6'5 wide receiver he goes in motion collier rolling to his left they go towards lloyd he can't come up with it great coverage by drew tekman that's the quarterback we were talking about with 17 offers and it's fourth down well nice design by this play of course here by tiff county but also great coverage right here by drew tekman that was a fire route they were sending the tight end to the corner they were sending number one fred lloyd on a flat route good coverage that time going man-to-man versus by north cobb fernando ramirez who's 7 for 12 on the season will attempt a 24 yard field goal from the right hash his kick is on its way and that kick is going to be no good need to hook that thing inside the uprights kicking from the right hash and he didn't kicked it too straight and tiff county after getting a big 69 yard run by brenton jones to get him first and goal inside the 10 fails to score well they did everything we thought they needed to do coming out when you're on the road start fast you get down into the red zone you have an opportunity to get get three you got to put these kind of points on the board particularly when you're playing you know when you're playing in the playoffs in a hostile environment on the road but give one for north cobb now let's look at what north cobb did way they bowled their necks and after that long run they stood up and did a good job of defense shane queen excited about it they're looking for their first playoff win since 2012 when they went to the semifinals back when tyler queen was their starting quarterback tekman's pass to him was broken up jaquan golson the cornerback broke up that little flare pass out there to drew tekman as you take a look at will lovett and he has one big quarterback at six three 220 pounds senior 14 touchdowns just four interceptions 1787 yards he's completed 60 percent of his passes yeah he is a big boy back there now handoff goes to cj cole he's a big fellow himself and cj cole rumbles out to a 14-yard game golsan making the tackle but that's a first down for the warriors well that play was designed to go in between the tackles nice job by cole watch how it comes downhill fast one cut and go that's what you look for and you know if i throw a rap to you that means you got some skills he's a big back big timer now nice blocking well ashley anders was very concerned we have a man down for tiff county right now at the 37-38 yard line and that is their defensive end jawarin bird but head coach ashley anders was very concerned that he watched you know two series on game film of cj cole and he knew right away they were gonna have to stop him tonight in order to have a chance to win well see cj cole i mean he he's dominant i mean he gets downhill and when we watched him get to mckitchen early on i mean he was really the key to the game i mean he was the star of that early first three quarters running downhill making plays but let's hope this young man gets off the ground so jaworin bird is okay here number 93. he's their leading tackler on the defensive line with 49 stops on the season and four quarterback sacks let's send it down to john nelly as we kick it for the first time tonight yeah i was going to have uh chuck smith help us out with let us know what time it is when it comes to this particular segment chuck you want to do it let's kick it all right let's kick it brought to us by our friends at georgia farm bureau first stop tonight payson gac pace it's six and four and you know it's a call for defense i think that's what those two things are right now pace in the red zone right now four and a half and counting first quarter this is a 1-4 matchup gac at home scoreless gac and pace academy more scores more look-ins as the night goes on guys back upstairs yeah nelly in pace academy playing without four players tonight who got suspended for tonight's game because of the fight they got into with towers last week that game was suspended in the second quarter and the ghsa had to step in and determine that pace had even won the game because it got stopped in the second quarter cj cole on the carry that's the linebacker cody thompson making the tackle but again cj cole making his presence felt well nick price at center number 64. number 56 at left guard aj diaz and big number 78 brandon moore they're the foundation of this inside zone running scheme that they have here at north cobb and cj cole is going to keep coming downhill until tiff county starts stopping it [Music] hand off nope keeper by love it and love it falls forward to the 49-yard line and that'll be a first down he's one of those jumbo-sized quarterbacks i mean that's how it is now you got guys like cam newton the big ones ben roethlisberger look at him he's one of those big ones but here's the thing about it he can run he can run he's proven that all year long that he can make big plays with his legs will love it committed to troy back in july handoff goes to jay irwin first carry the night for irwin as he gets the ball across the 50-yard line on a three-yard pickup as we take a look at the north cobb warriors on offense kadarian carter their big 6-4 242 senior wears a size 18 shoe he's actually new to football been a basketball player all his career and there you see in the backfield drew tekman the leading wide receiver for this warriors team with 18 catches 430 yards that's right at 24 yards per catch it's a strong number folks second down and seven ball at the 48.
[Applause] they throw the ball on the tunnel screen to drew techman he's gonna go [Applause] 48 yards on the pass play to drew tekman seventh touchdown of the season for him and in the opening three-plus minutes the warriors take a six-nothing lead well hats off to tom clark offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach they put three receivers to the left they throw a screen to techman they get numbers they got five or six guys blocking down field and what you look for anytime on defense you want to get numbers matt so if they got five blockers you want to have at least five defenders on that play north cobb the warriors had four to five blockers it looks like they outnumbered the defenders great job by techman making the play 48 yards on the tunnel screen to drew tekman and he was never touched they made it look easy warriors on top seven nothing here in kennesaw [Music] football fridays on gpb is made possible in part by regions bank it's time to expect more georgia's electric

here in the first north cobble the first seven on the board against tiff let's kick it and show you the update from gac and pace we have points on the board a short field created by a turnover when you kick it that means that gac they don't waste a whole lot of time in putting it in point after up and good it's seven nothing gac leading pace academy remember this is a one and a four other early leads go to cartersville they're up seven nothing calhoun up over monroe area north gwinnett chuck leading the side 7-3 first quarter back upstairs got to represent for the boys i've been waiting for y'all to give me a northwind young chuck smith give it time sir it's a long evening there's a lot of games we have to be nice to everybody now let's take a look back at this look at all the orange jerseys and orange pants down field for the warriors yep and for our viewers it's simple you want to get more blockers than there are defenders and that's what happened that time the warriors end up having four blockers on the screen it looks like you know number the the first checkmate goes to the warriors because they outnumbered the defenders and on that screen simple drew tekman took it to the house had great blocking great scheme great setup your tcsg scoring drive six plagues 80 yards and drew techman made it look easy and he got look at that good hair i used to have good curly hair like that too to you know get a little older got a little more forehead these days 17 offers he's picked up seven since we saw him five weeks ago he's been a hot commodity on the recruiting trail nc state purdue the local teams georgia southern and georgia state also teams are looking for versatility and that's what he brings to you yeah he may play offense as a wide receiver he may play defense as a cornerback in college this kick will be returned from the goal line and he hesitated that's a bad move by montreal henry he hesitated he wasn't sure whether he could come out or not and that hesitation cost him he got dropped by chandler wooten at the 12 yard line so a deep hole for the blue devils for their second possession well one thing that you can't do when you return to kickoff is hesitate you got to come downhill you got to hit it you got to be confident though being a i mean look it's a tough job being a kick returner punt returner cause you gotta you know you're going against these animals these savages that are running down and but you know he'll look back at that one and improve on the next one and you see coach ashley anders over there correcting him for that mistake that he made back out there the spread that's cobb in motion behind the line for the blue devils and the handoff goes to brenton jones and nothing doing that time he gained two on the play brenton jones a defensive back last year last two years been a defensive back they moved him to running back this year after they lost barry bennett who was the leading rusher in region one six a last season he graduated he's now at d2 wachita baptist but they needed somebody they didn't have a running back and so brenton jones they moved from the secondary to running back and coach ashley anders feels like he's just starting to hit his peak heavy rush and albright hits collier from behind that's going to be an incomplete patch man christian albright number 51 nice hands on the pass rush gets the hands off of him i love it i mean he cuts this corner on three steps swipe comes with the rip man that's textbook work right there yeah albright the senior took advantage of the sophomore left tackle austin williams on that play and now it's gonna be third down heavy rush again they flip it out there to brenton jones and jones has the first down gets across the 30-yard line like what i've seen so far from brenton jones i like what i see from brenton jones but also i like what i just saw from number 10 griffin griffin collier at quarterback smart play gets the ball out of his hands under duress he's going to take the hit and gets it out of his hands nice job feeling the rush excellent work also excellent job by brenton jones getting down field nice job first and ten from the 34-yard line griffin collier his dad mike is the wide receivers coach on this team got lots of time they set up the screen again for brenton jones and he's gonna get stopped or maybe not bounces off the tackle of ercart and then urkhart stays with him and makes the tackle and so does chandler wooten who finally runs him down hey but i got you partner i didn't think he was coming out of that hit that was a nice hit but you got to wrap them up what i've seen that time now brenton jones nice job with the knee bend he drops his shoulder here this is look at this great leverage by brenton jones when he takes his hit boom textbook they're breaking the tackle excellent work making something out of nothing second down and seven from the 37.
[Applause] again short pass that's complete to cam cobb and cobb picks up the first down as techman gets him out of well what you're seeing right now from tiff county office look the blue devils realize that right now the warriors of north cobb they're playing a deep zone over the top they have two safeties playing over top they're not going to give up the deep routes so they're taking what they can get and they're giving them short routes right now and they're taking them very smart by the warriors offense and chuck that's what we talked about in the camacho forklifts keys to the game they needed to test the waters and find out what kind of coverage north cobb was going to throw at no question they're setting up here to take a shot deep any second first and ten ball at the 43.
[Music] [Applause] slings it out there that's complete to bateman first time we've seen rashad bateman get the ball and he gets the ball to the 49-yard line nelly what you got all right let's focus on five six white for a second the middle of that offensive line you know that's an ash brag we're gonna do a shout out all the way to misawa japan and his brother zach who is serving our country watching his brother play varsity football for the first time tonight watching on gpb.org shout out to misawa japan absolutely and thank you for your service sir bateman picks up the first down on his second consecutive catch kevin johnson got him out of bounds but now with the short game here tiff county's moving the ball yeah tiff county's taking what they give him the cornerbacks right now the warriors cornerbacks of north cop they're sitting back somewhat 10 yards again they're not going to give these big receivers a cheap play right now they're going to make them work downfield and see if they can go 10 11 plays and make it happen well that play is going to come back as we have a penalty flag on the ground at the 49-yard line [Music] chuck tidwell is our referee and you see a holding call going against tiff county it's a good man down there named chuck so that's gonna race a first down for the blue devils i'm interested to see eventually what when you when north cobb starts coming up to press a little bit playing a little bit tighter they're giving up these quick screens right now and they're doing it for a reason eventually you'll start seeing north cobb come up a little bit a little more man-to-man defense so second down now and 13 from the 41. keeper by collier and collier gets body slammed by urkhart at the 49-yard line number 10 trey urquhart 50 tackles in the season for the six-foot junior well nice job by they were earned inside zone he decides to keep it here nice work nice work by griffin collier getting downfield third down and six [Applause] pass thrown and complete for a first down to fred lloyd at the 40-yard line so lloyd gets involved in the action first catch of the night for him that was about a five-yard slant receiver runs down field cuts inside 45 degree angle slant pass good throw by griffin collier nice run catch good job by number one fred lloyd they're giving away the short routes again are the warriors of north cobb and right now tiff county the blue devils are taking advantage fred passes the eye test six five two ten seniors that was his 31st catch of the season blitz is coming from luton they pick it up collier rolling and throwing couldn't get it to cobb techman out there on the coverage i'm going to tell you something now remember griffin collier he's fooling me every time the inside zone i don't know whether he's handing it off or you know or taking it out doing a really good job i'm telling the high school football the development of the offenses in the last within the last four to five years is absolutely really kind of stunning yeah you know what i mean they they're putting three and four wides out they know how to run out of it these teams like the warriors and and of course tiff county can throw out of it so second down ball at the 41. britain joe and joe's in motion to the top pump fake fire complete debate first down for bateman ercart makes the tackle downfield at the 28 yard line tiff county moving the ball no question about that they moved it on their first possession you got man-to-man now that's where you keep your eyes on your receiver what you're seeing here is zone north cobb's playing the zone they're playing a three-deep zone and what you see here is bateman deshawn bateman number 13 finds a hole that's what happens anytime you're in zone there's going to be a pocket it's just a matter you have enough time for your receiver to get to the pocket and bateman that time did two catches now for bateman he's got 53 on the season call your 6 of 8 59 yards on this drive going to take a shot down field and throw in complete bateman was open under fired him inside the 10-yard line all right see that was the first time we saw we saw north cobb they went to man-to-man the defensive backs are closer now they're not 10 yards off playing a cover three in a deep zone they're coming up they played man-to-man that time man press and you saw them up close that's big number four jay irwin the linebacker for the warriors he's got nine offers including marshall east carolina ball state shane queen says these two inside line linebackers best he's ever coached collier on the keeper going to pick up the first dow or close to it he might be a yard short a little surprised to see north cobb the defensive line they rushed up field and um they automatically assumed that it was a pass you gotta they were running they never showed any pass here they were going inside zone but nice job of course by griffin collier [Applause] yeah wooten just clicked his heels and tripped him up third down and one here for shane queen's defense five minutes to play in the quarter got to give it to brenton jones well they're going to take a shot going down field over shot bateman [Applause] first time that collier's really just totally misfired on a play and it's going to be fourth down in one do you go for it here chuck i'd go for it i missed fire too because i assume they're gonna run the ball because brent jones had so much success but again they're trying to take advantage of this north cobb defense that was playing run and they were playing man-to-man again i'll go for it here and give it to brenton jones number three yeah fernando ramirez has already missed a 24 yarder on their opening possession i'm running behind zach's brother number 56 national prize there you go i'm running right there fourth and one brenton jones not gonna get there chandler wooten with the big tackle and the ball goes over on downs well they did exactly what i thought they would do chandler wooten the auburn commit makes a great play comes downhill if you watch him he's going to come right downhill inside the a gap that's right in between the center and the guard and makes a great play someone's got to block that guy chandler wooten comes up with a huge play on fourth down to get the ball back for the warriors yep a gap that's the a gap he came in did a good job of striking nash brag number 56 to center strikes and gets off the block and makes a great play in that a gap that's a high school senior right there [Laughter] they're growing up man it must be the food that we're eating these days huh cj cole trips over his own man stumbled over tim emerson his right tackle and took a loss that was a 14-play drive that stalled for tiff county so tiff county's had it first and goal inside the north cobb ten failed to score on a missed field goal right and then they have a 14-play drive and getting nothing out of them well they've controlled the ball i mean they've controlled the time of possession and everything but you got to get points particularly when you're on the road and you're you're you're an underdog you got you got to put points on the board to build confidence second down and 12 techman in motion they'll look towards techman instead love it going to take it deep and it's going to be caught by 20 green green down to the 22 yard line will love it what a great throw from the quarterback and adjustment this was going to be a route a flat route to drew techman he makes an adjustment on the fly and he sees quantity green going down field on the deep route because this play was ultimately designed they were going to try to get the ball to drew techwood on the flat route but they also had an option if he was open take a shot down downfield 58-yard strike to quantity green and the keeper bubbled by lovitt and the ball is loose and he fell on top of it oh my goodness and now a fight breaks out at the 15 yard line all right you can't be swinging your hands now [Music] but how fortunate was lovett on the keeper there he fumbled it fumbled forward three yards and he still fell on top of it inside zone comes downfield oh the ball just gets taken out of there nice job by jawarn bird he's back in the game number 93 he pokes the ball out from will lovett tiff county misses the opportunity there to get the ball fumbled forward and picked up the first down at the 13. cj cole touchdown [Applause] nice job aj diaz number 56 on offensive line nick price does a good job of moving the offensive defensive line back brandon moore tim emerson here and off of the line right now of north cobb the warriors are dominating particularly when cj cole runs that simple inside dive play ain't a lot of thinking in that matt it's just let's put them big bucks together get behind them and let cj cole come down here sixth touchdown of the season for cj cole p-a-t by horton is good so after stopping tiff county on fourth down your tcsg touchdown replay 12 yard touchdown run by cj cole four play 79 yards 88 seconds yup nick price right there to me he's the key nice job by the center you see nick price they did a combination brock aj diaz and nick price did an excellent job getting their hands on i think that was chase sammons the nose guard moving him off the ball you know you always got to give some love to the big guys yeah cj cole's doing a good job big timer man good job he had a gaping hole right there and of course on the other touchdown detectment on the pass play that was just a that was well executed with great blocking too you're exactly right and you know you made a point a second ago just think about how big that fumble was just think if tiff could have gotten that function the difference of the dynamics here we wouldn't be down 14 they'd have the ball having an opportunity to drive but i think they've been in scoring position twice have the blue devils they haven't gotten anything out of it yeah it's tiff county's gonna have to find a way to score here i mean they had a 14 play drive got nothing first and goal inside the 10 on their first possession got nothing and now they're down 14-0 [Music] and the kick will not be returned by cobb no you can't don't do it don't do it don't do it of course in georgia high school football you can't bring it out of the end zone so the warriors go back on defense blue devils on offense at the 20-yard line time to kick with john nelson and it's north paulding in concord county at the hog pin tonight and now go ahead and kick it let's kick it there you go thank you chuck hashtag dr rush brings this in thanks to us our friends from the georgia farm bureau insurance fair catch right there cockwood had an early seven nothing lead then they score again to make it 13 minutes the two-point conversion so that's your score right there at macbarf 13-nothing that's in the second quarter winner of this one gets the winner of lambert and central gwinnett right now it is a lambert 16 to nothing late first quarter no real surprises except for westlake as a one seed trailing early on to a four back upstairs yeah how about that and of course last night west hall beat troop county as the playoffs started on the thursday night passes complete to bateman and he weaves his way up to the 38-yard line 18-yard pickup third catch of the night for rashad bateman nice protection nice preach nice protection here nice protection by the tif offensive line he has a low crosser yeah threw it under the leaping langston parker the nose guard eyes on that christian albright he is a beast out there he's working yeah he's got 10 sacks this season he's got offers from army and charlotte brenton jones comes to the near side gets driven out of bounds at the 40-yard line by christian singleton the linebacker speaking of christian albright he was held here [Applause] number 51 sometimes that's the only way to stop him because you're exactly right gotta hold him i'm watching him he's firing off the ball he's using his hands he's striking blocks he's fighting through double teams when he pass rushes he's flashing right now that means he's standing out he's flashing right now because he's popping off the field as i'm looking down and chuck this is his first year playing defensive line he was a three-year starter on their offensive line they moved him to defensive line because of depth issues and shane queen says he's probably still their best offensive lineman but they're using him on the defensive line and that's talent you know and that just shows you guys bless him with a lot of talent and throw him in there with the other defensive end number 91 gathers uh they're a great tandem so first and 22 now back at the 26. by collier griffin collier follows his big man right up the middle and up to the 46-yard line following kj rivers the senior right guard i like this play i like what griffin collier is doing put the ball in your playmaker's hands give him an opportunity to run this guy's a playmaker now he's shown all year this is he's keeping the ball it's the inside zone he fakes it and he takes it inside little pull there by kj rivers the right guard got a block right there on the safety del shawn harris to get him a couple more yards second down and two and man listen here christian albright is turning up the heat number 51 is right now putting on the clinic when it comes to pass rush they're gonna have to double team him or they're not gonna get they're not the quarterbacks gonna have a hard time staying on the street all night and he just went by kj rivers right there you saw griffin collier get leveled by christian albright they're gonna have to double team him they're gonna have to figure out a way maybe keep it tied in and that's that's the problem when you spread out three or four wide receivers though not enough men to block here comes singleton off the edge and the ball is tipped and intercepted by christian albright did he catch that what an amazing play if he caught it that's an interception for christian albright man he tipped that thing in the air and scooped it out of the air before it hit the ground well i think it was christian singleton that was coming on the fire zone they had a blitz coming did north cobb number 34 christian singleton tips it in the air christian albright just makes a play oh no you were right he made his own play was amazing told you he's balling man he's flashing popping off the film right now look how high he got now did he catch that thing no instant replay here bro if they had instant replay they might he caught it they got their own offense now right their ball again at the 35. they're going for the home run they got it oh it is dropped by quantity green oh my goodness he was too wide open chuck yeah i think he was seeing the end zone young quantity but again i'm talking about the design this offense this is sick look i mean you got misdirection you got people twisting all over the place if i'm on 10th county right now my head is spinning too yeah you got a receiver in motion the bat goes on the dive the quarterback rolls out and they throw a deep pass come on man hand off cj cole he gets swallowed up at the line of scrimmage right away nothing doing on that carry right there but tom clark is the offensive coordinator here at north cobb his dad bob was actually the head coach before shane took over so between tom and baba's dad they've been around the school forever hats off hey i'm tipping my hat already because the designer's office right now is phenomenal phenomenal right now third down and 10 from the 35.
[Music] talking to tom making an adjustment [Applause] lovett's already got one touchdown pass tonight pump fake the techman throws down field wide open at the 20-yard line quantity green he doesn't drop it this time and it's a first down 18-yard pickup for quantity green he's battled shin splints all season long finally getting healthy and playing a big role in this offense again will love it brings cannons this ball out they faked the deep pass curl route oh i mean he's so wide oh so wide open first and ten from the 15. tom clark's dialing them up right now christian singleton first carry of the night jaquan golson the corner comes up to help on the tackle so we take a look at the tiff county blue devils on defense andrew johnson's the guy to watch for we haven't heard much from him so far tonight linebackers all four from senior two-year starters cody thompson their leading tackler and in the secondary the cornerback montreal henry committed to georgia southern second down zone read lovett keeps it love it gonna score the touchdown [Applause] outside zone running scheme quarterback keeps it options off the defensive end [Applause] does a good job coming downhill nice work again nick price aj diaz brandon moore just watched number 56 number 64.78 the offensive line they're knocking tift off the ball right now total control right now up front for north cobb 21 to nothing and then they got the other offensive lineman number seven they will love it like like another lineman look watch inside they're knocking the line of scrimmage back [Applause] and we'll love it you know he's big he's tough he's like a fullback that's his eighth rushing touchdown of the season he leads the demon rushing touchdowns good luck getting him bouncing off of him i like him good quarterback big boy that can run he can throw caps a five-play 35-yard drive after christian albright plucked that interception out of the air tiff county in trouble here late in the first quarter down 21-0 offensive time offensive coordinator tom clark calling a great game so far well designed the blue devils have to figure it out fast have to figure it out but really they got to put some points on the board they've been pretty successful so far offensively they just haven't been able to finish the drill i mean you could make the argument they should have 14 points in the quarter well we definitely you're exactly right definitely three well they've been putting it in motion but again they're a big strike offense they're gonna have to start dialing up too they've been throwing a lot of screens a lot of short passes they might take a shot here too non-returnable goes to the back of the end zone so once again tiff county will have to start from their 20-yard line and griffin collier's team down three scores here with 26 seconds to play in the first quarter well griffin collier he's played a pretty good game so far he's run the ball well he's thrown the ball with the short routes well the offense has done well they just haven't put it together and put points on the ball yeah here's the story tiff county's offense has played well enough to score two touchdowns right their defense is simply been overmatched by the north county offense north cobb office well you're exactly right i mean they're on the roller coaster ride like like like a screen machine yeah you're exactly right collier seven of 15 in the quarter 77 yards and the interception he threw was just a great play that was a great play by christian albright and it was a well designed screen albright just made a play so first and ten from the 20-yard line let's see if the blue devils can finally finish a drive here not like that that was thurman gathers making the tackle for loss i was just with his uncle jumpy two weeks ago at the atlanta falcons alumni reunion we talked about the young man and you know just it's in his dna he's this reminds me of jumpy big tall long arms rangy uh great kid

you you give me put some money in my pocket that's gonna cost you yeah wow what a quarter for tiff county an even better quarter for north cobb no doubt about it love it got on the board with the pass to techman and that got the ball rolling for the warriors and then cj cole that was just the start of it 21-0 after 12 minutes scalpel i have no idea what i'm doing i'm just a tv doctor i never went

football fridays in georgia start of the second quarter here at emory sewell stadium north cobb three scores on the board tiff county with none as we get ready for the second quarter time to kick it brought to us by our friends at georgia farm bureau insurance and it's another trip down to the hog pin and you see the number on the right hand side for caulkwood county you see what jay saunders is about to do that number on the right just got a little bigger 13 plus six 19 nothing with the point after pending for caucus county leading north paulding some surprises down on the coast involving teams on the coast effingham leading stevenson 7-6 doherty a four-seed now leading jenkins savannah by the score of 14 to 10. cartersville tres fiji goes coast to coast 100 yards on a pick six there up 28 nothing pouring it on as is glenn academy 35-0 in the second back upstairs for the second all right second down and 11 as we start the second quarter brenton jones unable to turn the corner tackle made by michael dixon 23rd tackle of the season for that sophomore defensive lineman how about this stat here 21 nothing you'd say wow north cobb blowing them out but eight first downs for north cobb in the first quarter and seven for tiff county right and it's been even now we've talked about it the blue devils have done an excellent job moving the ball that hasn't been a problem but finishing to get points has been a problem third down and 11 right here matt stewart chuck smith john nelson the gpb crew with you here in kennesaw georgia tonight they dump it over here to brenton jones and he's got to beat chandler wooten and will not you are not going to get by chandler wooten on a one-on-one situation he drops him for a loss having a big game here tonight for the auburn commitment well right now north cobb is able to rush three with effectiveness and drop eight so what you see is great coverage it's gonna be hard particularly when you got three guys that are rushing chandler wooten's just playing zone they're just sitting back because they know the three pass rushers up front the north cobb defense albright parker and gathers can get pressure that was the second tackle for loss for wooten tonight casey ingram the junior punter on for the first time tonight he's standing at his own one-yard line techman deep for the warriors ingram short kick hits at the 35 but takes a 10 yard bounce in favor of the blue devils and let's call it an eight-yard bounce as it rolled backwards again just a 27-yard kick for casey ingram and great field position for the warriors here to start the second quarter well let me get into the mind of both teams from a strategic from a strategic situation where we are you're down 21-0 tiff county your defense is up they haven't slowed down this north cobb warrior offense yet man i got to send some pressure yeah i got a it's 21-0 you got to you got to make a play you got to change something you got to figure it out but right now if you're north cobb and you're on offense you're feeling good you're feeling like you're about to win the lottery nothing's going wrong for this north cobb offense yeah even when they fumbled in the first quarter they fumbled forward picked up the first down and lovett fell on it [Applause] [Music] nothing doing warren bird was there to stop cj cole at the line of scrimmage and then he had help from his friends and nellie what you got let's show you what's going on around the state we've got a couple of scores that are active right now westminster jose malcolm makes it 21-7 second quarter there saint pius also saint pius two and eight coming into the playoffs they're in a bit of a fight right now they're tied at 14's right now in the second quarter so it's interesting to see what saint pius is up to as they're in a fight as a four seed coming in at two and eight guys that's what this first week is all about yeah and jamoran bird he's all about it too second consecutive tackle for the blue devils defensive end dropping cj cole right and we talked about making changes they're making changes they're sending guys up on the line of scrimmage the linebackers are coming up closer now so they can do what get the blockers off of the defensive linemen that are being doubled so that's what north cobb's doing they're doubling everybody they're double double the three-man front of tiff so the linebackers have to come up to take the double teams off of the linebackers and that's what they're doing here good work here third down and eight love it pump fake fires in the middle intercepted intercepted by cody thompson the linebacker and cody thompson gets a big turnover for the blue devils defense [Applause] first interception of the season for the senior linebacker with a 19-yard return well it starts up front we talked about getting some pressure they went from their three-man line and brought a blitzer on the fourth man to have a rusher sitting back in that zone excellent job on the interception [Applause] good job being where you're supposed to be sitting right in the middle [Applause] cody thompson the 6-3 215 pound senior linebacker team leading 94 tackles in the season he's being recruited by georgia southern nice play right there to get the ball back into the blue devils offensive hands first and 10 from the 37. and brenton jones not going far that was christian albright blew up the play while he was laying on the ground yeah he did he's not he's knocking the line of scrimmage back he's uh pushing that ball back and he's just very disruptive right now i'm gonna have to get some help on number 51 christian albright you can't let one man dismantle your offense gotta double him up let the other guys see if they can make some plays 53 tackles on the season the team leading 10 sacks on the season picked up his second interception of the season already tonight [Applause] second down from the 36. brenton jones trey urquhart making the tackle at the 40-yard line four-yard pickup maybe three nice run outside by brenton jones finding the open window and scooting through it he's doing a good job but they're doing a good job running the ball but they keep stalling now third down here it's important down you got to secure the front you got to lock the gates you cannot let this defensive line of three men break through the gates you got to lock them up brenton jones was 76 yards rushing in the first quarter 69 of them coming on one play play action griffin call you're in trouble quarterback sack for you guessed it christian albright i said he's flashing he is popping off the field well you got to lock the gates you cannot let a three-man rush beat you what you got to do from tiff the warriors you got to come back you got to bring a protection back you got to bring a receiver in put a tight end of the block against christian albright himmer gathers i mean this is a two-headed monster right now that's completely dismantling the passing game of the tiff county warriors i am shocked that they're not double teaming them at least chip blocking them where the running back chips him and hits him on his shoulder before he goes out they got to secure pressure we talked about the gates and they are still wide open for the tift county blue devils they need to shut the gate and chain him down if they can they have not had any success at all blocking christian albright tonight as ingram's punt rolls dead at the 24-yard line and that's where the warriors will go back on offense a 41-yard kick right there by the junior punter all right let's kick it let's kick it nelly all right let's go up to northwest georgia and checking on wesley tank grizzlies bunch from ridgeland and saint pius this one's been back and forth it was seven seven fourteen fourteen ridgeland one of the most high-powered offenses in the class now leading 21-14 you see the score there up on the mountainside to make it 21-14 late second quarter glenn academy now leading jonesboro 38-nothing in the second back upstairs all right thank you nelly here it is 21 to nothing almost halfway through the second quarter matt stewart chuck smith john nelson the gbp team is here with you mark herman and jackie britton coming up at halftime cj cole on the carry nothing doing right there good tackle i think cody thompson maybe or eric atkins one of the other the two fine linebackers for the [Applause] that was atkins on the tackle right there atkins 48 tackles on the season nine tackles for loss that's four positive plays we've seen now from the tift county blue devil defense that's four in a row they've made good plays they played solid defense they're going to have to ball their next because right now they cannot give up another touchdown here atkins played for team usa last february in the international bowl in dallas played against team canada they run the screen to techman andrew johnson can't get him on the ground techman trying to get around the edge cody thompson finally shoves him out of bounds at the 30-yard line yeah they got a break there that time now number 34 the cornerback he was it was a 31-yard line holding by that time but the refs missed that one nice job by north cobb taking advantage brings up a third down and long four is what's going to be at the 30-yard line north cobb 8-2 looking for their first playoff win since the 2013 season when they got to the second round of the state playoffs year after they got to the state semifinals that's as close as they've ever been to playing in the georgia dome in the state championship love it setting up a screen here they'll throw it incomplete threw it to the back of brandon moore the right guard i didn't see a receiver out there i just saw a big 6-2 300-pound brandon moore well he did a good job brandon moore was out there did a good job of retracing his his footwork but good job the last six seven plays the defense the blue devils have done an excellent job they've calmed down they're making plays now now the difference is all the offense has to do is finished they've been getting there now they got to do like they did the first two drives and you know keep winning on the runs lovett's got to keep winning on the runs horton standing at the 16 yard line this will be the first time he's punted tonight and a time-out has been called by tiff county and we'll take one too just under six minutes to play in the first half ashley andrews team in a hole here 21-0 in kennesaw [Music] when you're in control of

members so much more than electricity 5 55 to play in the first half north cobb with 21 first quarter points and leading tiff county 21-0 here in the first round of the state playoffs north cobb 2013 region champions that was one of just four region championships they've won in school history 2012 got to the state semifinals lost to lovejoy they had only two second round wins prior to getting to the state semifinals that year two of their three ten win seasons have come under head coach shane queen and darren waller current nfler with the baltimore ravens by way of georgia tech tip county second playoff appearance for them last eight years looking for their first playoff win since 2008 won their one and only state championship in 1983 when they crushed lagrange 59-6 in the finals three region titles four nfl players coach jean brodie for which the field is named after there and tifton great coach won 131 games he was the head coach when they won that state championship in 83. i remember 79 too yep they got beat by clark central the state championship is that the game i was in the fourth grade man what a day in athens after that game but tiff county used to be some beasts now every year back in the day horton punting away that's a booming kick cobb has to retreat all the way back to the 23 to get it circles back around trying to get to the edge and not going to get there gets dropped by jamal cuckoo a 48-yard bomb off the foot of will horton now what i'm looking here from tiff county from from the blue devils i want to i'm hoping to see a few adjustments because you got to dial it down somewhere if you can't put four wide receivers out and you don't have enough protection the block against christian albright against thurman gathers you're just going to go through this game with a quarterback that's getting hit like a punching bag and that and eventually what's going to happen man the quarterback's going to be tougher than the last with these kind of hits i mean he's taking some punishment right now so they go back on offense still they go with the spread here in the four wides that's cobb in motion the slot back behind the line sprints out to the far side collier here comes thurman gathers they set up a tunnel screen to cobb and cobb picks up nine on the play tackled by jay irwin but a nine yard pickup on the screen to cobb that's a nice job nice job by cobb and getting down field with nice design play i like the work that griffin collier is doing when he has the time number ten i mean he's effective but to think about it like this you throw screens against teams that have incredible passwords usually with four or five but they're doing that with three because these guys are so disruptive it was an eight yard pick up second down and two you see the spread field her collier throws incomplete at the 30-yard line trying to connect with bateman that was techman on the coverage and the receivers are spread out almost to the sideline i mean outside the hashes and on that password then thurman gathers wins again if the quarterback doesn't throw a fast pass gathers is going to hit the quarterback again but we'll see how it works i mean they obviously this is the game plan this is how they play so third down and two they have used a fullback at times here in the first half cole patterson he's not in there right now though the handoff goes to brenton jones and jones let's see not going to pick up the first down as he gets stopped shy of the 30. and it's going to be fourth down we call that inside zone they're trying to hit between the center and the guard and they're hoping that they read the quarterback and but nonetheless good job by north cobb they're very stout right now on the defense yeah kj rivers is moving slowly as he gets banged up on the play and they check in jb brooks to come into the offensive line for him and then they run the punt unit out there on fourth down and one from a college standpoint that play made famous by one mr tim tebow inside zone and that big joker will keep it you go outside but tim tebow the thing about what makes the spread so dynamic you can run a one-back power and you gain another blocker instead of the quarterback handing it off but now you gain 10 blockers anytime the quarterback keeps it which makes makes you really dangerous at the quarterback if you got a great running quarterback here's casey ingram ingram heavy rush he gets it out of there that's going to be a short kick that's going to hit but take a nice bounce for the blue devils that thing bounces and rolls close to 20 yards good point very generous ends up being a 45 yard kick about 15 to 20 of it on the ground as we send it back down to john nelson on the sideline thank you very much matt watch the placement north cobb is saying that it was touched far earlier than the downing let's kick it by our friends from georgia farm bureau show you what's going on down south dawson and love it this one's going back and forth as well long pass sets up as we go from one end to the field to the other this one once again seven seven fourteen fourteen this is going to be a crash right here by tyndall from one yard out to make it 21-14 other scores valdosta on a roll benedictine leading glenn hills 44 nothing second quarter back upstairs yeah so now instead of a 45-yard kick it's a 27-yard kick you were right nelly apparently tiff county did touch it at the 43 before it rolled dead at the 25 let's see where is it yeah touched right there you're right good job nelly you need to have your granddaddy glasses on cody thompson had the ball ricochet off him he didn't see it coming just bounced off of him that's going to be a drop there by andrew johnson number 94. first time we have called his name tonight he gets the big tackle for loss at the 40-yard line good job by andrew johnson putting pressure on the offensive line getting up field using nice moves good job on this get off the tip defenses calm down they're making plays now the last three series they've been excellent they're gonna have to stay here try to keep that score at 21 and hopefully the offense will pick up the pace second down now and long hand off cj cole gaping hold puts a move on the linebacker and down c.j cole to the 30-yard line 32-yard rumble for the big dude runs right in between the tackles comes right downhill [Applause] now watch this little movie puts in the open field oh my goodness that's a oo that wasn't ooey oo we in the linebacker when oh my hand off cj cole gonna be dropped after a three yard pickup by kwai johnson good tackle by quay johnson dragging him down cj cole's hard to go down we saw that against mckitron i mean he's not going down these he's a big guy too cole now with 69 yards on 10 carries here in the first half man if you're on the sideline right now with the blue devils you got to be thinking we got to borrow next we got to borrow next you cannot go down you can't give up a touchdown let alone you don't want to give up three but the mind frame has to be we have to buckle down right here cj kohler like those body shots and he's like a body shot to the ribs christian singleton right there on the misdirection and singleton with big yards down to the 14-yard line quay johnson making again a tackle but way downfield that moves the sticks well coach coach queen talked about christian single to number 34 the sophomore he's starting to emerge you know he's starting to make the kind of plays that that they expected from him and when you got a two-headed monster like him and cj cole they are dangerous 427 yards rushing and that's jay irwin singleton with 427 on the season he's actually their best rusher yards per carry just under seven yards per carry that's erwin right there who also was the middle linebacker and there was the tackle made by atkins well this tip county defense i mean they got some players on that side number 14 alvin coney the senior he's been balling all year making big time plays they need him to step up they got to have their best players andrew johnson 94. got to make some plays here somebody's got to step up [Music] [Applause] second down and nine love it with time now the time has gone the ball is out scoop by the tift county blue devils and they've got it at the 32 yard line and will have a face masking call eric atkins was there to scoop up the loose ball and a face mask on top of it well the mind frame we just talked about play makers have to step up let's see who stripped here lovett steps up and that's andrew johnson with the strip and then the scoop by atkins well we talked about andrew johnson there big timer stepping up he steps up that's what you look for in leadership leadership on the field when you need a play when your defense needs a play that's what has to happen when you're a baller andrew johnson number 94 steps up and this tiff defense they build their necks like we talked about that's the second turnover they produced chuck that's right it would be huge if they could get a touchdown here and you know just get some momentum going into the locker room they might have a chance to get back in this ball game in the second half if they can score right here yeah you're exactly right nice scoop also eric adkins nice scoop almost took one to the house they got a shot here they got to put some points on the board collier here comes gathers quarterback sack and then he poses second sack of the night albright and gathers each have one they have yet to be able to block those defensive ends speed rush he hits the corner that's what we call it falling off that corner like a table hands swipes them off swipes the offensive lineman's hands off of him textbook pass rush well coached defensive line here at north cobb it's obvious yeah and north cobb felt like they had an advantage there even though they just got a three-man line they felt like their athleticism and speed would be bigger than the size and the ball is out on the quarterback sack flag is out as well picked up by langston parker let's check the call but again that's really that's been the story of the game we can look at all the flashy plays the story of the game though is the speed of the defensive line from north cobb is over matching the size of the offensive line for tiff county yeah but they i understand they go into this thinking they have an advantage but at this point we all see they have an advantage they've had an advantage for the last five series i mean again quarterback has no time to step up you know he's getting beat up a little bit in the pocket but the deal is to me you've got to help these offensive tackles if you're you're the tiff county blue devils i mean this is a three-man rush it's not four this is three guys going against five and you got a running back so it's really could be it could really be a six-man protection versus three the running back that's in the backfield that's the there's one back in the in the backfield and you got a quarterback so what they have to do matt they need to use the running back to help it doesn't make much sense for you to even have four wives if you can't get the play off right i mean these guys are good but at this point it's more what tiff county's not doing than what north cobb is doing we know they can rush but tiff county is doing nothing to adjust third and 16 the holding call declined by north cobb and the run right up the middle by brenton jones he gets a chunk of it back but it's not going to be enough and they'll have to punt you're exactly right they're gonna have to go in there in x and o's and it's it comes down to protection they're gonna have to they've gotta find a way to protect their quarterback if they're gonna have any chance to get back in this ball game in the second half yeah and i mean north cobb you look at the north cobb secondary i mean they got eight guys sitting back there so it makes it even harder to throw when you've got eight guys eight defenders in coverage and three men can destroy a six-man you know protection yep fourth down they're going for it here i mean look at the defenders we can count one two three four five six seven there are eight defenders sitting back there yeah they're not going for it they're just trying to draw them off sides and now i'm sure they'll punt you certainly don't want to give north cove a short field here with half a minute to play in the half i'm sure number 10 griffin collier is like i need to get me another real protector he has taken a beating no doubt about it and the reason i'm laughing is because tiff county can see this they see their protection is completely melted down and give a lot of credit north cobb and you know as a pass rush coach i love these kind of days i mean when no adjustments are made and you got guys that just can run around the block give them credit but they're using great hands i'm not taking anything away from the cop cause i talked about earlier how they were popping off the film i mean christian albright i'm like who who's offered him so far army and charlotte i don't know what's what's happening around the country right now in college but he can play he can play big time ball that cat right there is not saying nothing's wrong with those two schools right but to me he should have more offers just alone by what i'm watching now he's he's got speed and he's got great technique and technique carries you to be a great pass rusher to the next level because everybody has speed fourth down and six here now they will punt as casey ingram's back out there again standing at his 28 yard line nobody back for north cobb the warriors are convinced they might try to go for it here and they don't and ingram bombs it that thing's gonna hit at the 16 and it's going to nice nice dead at the one-yard line wow 56-yard kick for casey ingram right there nice nice nice he did that right [Music] they're either going to run inside zone dive to cj cole or are they bold enough is tom clark bold enough to take a shot now you know when teams are backed up they think it's shot because what is so if you're on tip what are you expecting this time you're expecting a run but again when you they're up 21 they got a comfortable lead so probably be a run but yeah you know if i'm the coordinator well they can't just take a knee or it'll be a safety i know that but i'm just saying i if i'm again tom clark's calling a great game but sometime that happens i look like they're gonna run i just let big fella fall in there behind the guard yeah and that's exactly what they're gonna do nah bro i'm from the dan quinn school of competing be aggressive take a shot i love it i love the way dq calls and you don't hear it man but being aggressive but when you're in control i get it and they are in control although tiff county i mean you take a look at this halftime score and i'm sure people are going to look around the state and see north cobb up 21 nothing at halftime they're going to think wow north cobb has dominated north cobb has dominated offensively but it's a lot closer than the score indicates as we throw it down to john nelson thank you very much matt here with the coach defensively they got five you got three and you're getting your three to the back and meeting the quarterback back there yes sir we're blessed to have two defensive ends and a nose guard he gets out of quarterback christian albright thurman gatherers are doing a great job we told them up front if they could get pressure on the quarterback we'd have a great chance tonight and at the same time though you're stifling their chances in their key situations because this game really could be 21-14 one player another swing most definitely you know the first drive they got down there but thank god our defense made a couple great plays put them in the field goal situation they missed the field goal they go back down there again and we get turn over them down so our guys have played very hard we've given up a couple big plays but i think we settled in i think that's a little bit of nerves but the second quarter we didn't do as well offensively we put 21 points on the first um in the first quarter but defensively we settled down and we're making better plays defensively not giving up the big play thanks for your time shane thank you halftime show starts officially mark and jackie right now thanks john you know tiff county with a lot of yardage but no points yet i know and griffin collier have been having a hard time so far but they can make those adjustments that they have and come out strong in the second half coming up the gbb halftime show we will hear from both

exciting night for one school out in lithonia one two three four four five six first eight win season first region title first playoff appearance and the rams of arabia mountain trace the firsts to a meeting at the first of the year january we started off about 16 people in the weight room about 12 of them being seniors and we set the goal we wanted to win the region to make the playoffs for the first time and we stuck to that as we added more pieces to the puzzle and adding more players to the team ever since last year when the last game of the season hit we came together as a class and we said we're not going to be like the last guys we're going we're going to make this happen and we got into the summer we went to fca we went to uga we just came together and bonded as a team and that's what happened so it started with a meeting and grew to a squad of close to 50 and with a high-powered offense and stingy defense the success led to something the team hadn't seen before just us winning more you know we just didn't we didn't want to settle for what happened last year and we didn't want everybody thinking that we were going to do the same thing last year so we wanted to prove them wrong it was like like he said we didn't want to be like the last class and we know that we want to do a big thing so like we know that we wanted to make history and we want to be the first class to go to the playoffs and to win the region you know to be in a trophy case and be memorable so we come back years later we have our name in history it's been a long journey a lot of hard work but we knew he's going to be here and we're working since january this just this is just beginning it's been a process during the process you know early morning workouts a lot a lot of time putting a lot of blood sweat and tears put in by these young men um a lot of just preparation and effort you know i'm just proud of them and coach pritchett has a lot more to be proud of right now leading villarreal

place thanks for having me glad to be back in seattle always love it out here this fall on pbs back at emory of sewell stadium in kennesaw georgia north cobb with a 21-0 lead on tiff county here as we get ready to start the third quarter matt stewart and chuck smith chuck let's take a look back at the first half highlights after a missed field goal by the blue devils 48-yard screen pass touchdown to drew techman well nice design screen pass nice job i will love it selling it cj cole rumbles in from 12 yards out 14-0 lead for north cobb still in the first quarter play of the year maybe defensively on gpb look at that well nice job i mean great instincts great hops good job by albright christian albright the int that led to the touchdown run by will lovett five plays later in a 21-0 lead after one quarter and that's where we stand at halftime you take a look at the stats i mean i mean plenty of yards for tiff county but the zero on the scoreboard has been a real killer for him because they have not finished drives missed a field goal failed on fourth down at the 20-yard line well tiff coach ashley anders talked about attention to detail the little things that affect you particularly when you're on the road you got to make those you got to make the plays when you get the opportunity well john nelson is standing by with coach anders right now all right thank you very much matt what'd you tell him i told him we didn't play tiff county football and we got two quarters of football left to come out here and play tiff county football and at the same time though you know offensively it seemed the pressure off the edge was forcing griffin to to hurry and the pressure was getting to it it's pretty much yeah i mean they got they've got outstanding players i mean the edge passers they got two really good uh edge pass rushers and when you get a 21 point lead you know those those guys can kind of pin their ears back a little bit so uh you know we've made some adjustments at halftime and uh you know we're gonna come out and uh and play up you know play as hard as we can this half thanks for your time and thank you let's send it back upstairs third quarter i think officially starts right now guys all right thank you nelly and chuck that's the big question what kind of adjustments were they able to make to protect their quarterback griffin collier in the second half well i'm hoping coach anders does something with protection and i got an idea maybe what you do is you slide the line to the right you got a five-man pressure slide him the gathers and bring you back on the left side and chip block against albright and you know that gives you a six-man protection and i think you know i think that'll help the offensive line and i hope that's what he does but i like hearing matt that they've made some adjustments i look forward to seeing them in the second half well north cobb will start on offense to begin the third quarter because they won the opening toss and deferred so the warriors with their three touchdown lead will get the ball first here in the third quarter there you see will love it four of eight passing for 128 the touchdown pass to drew tekman was a screen pass and then he had six carries for 19 yards and also scored on a 14-yard touchdown run himself the big thumper that's his new nickname will love it the big you know he's built a lot like tyler queen shane's son who's now at auburn playing for the auburn tigers a lot like him from a size standpoint i love it i like the big quarterbacks they're hard to go down and you know with the way the scheme is set up you you're he's a running quarterback so anytime you run the spread option you got a quarterback that's going to be running in between the tackles and you got to have a big body you know like we'll love it well he's committed to troy and he's really had to be consistent for this warriors offense this year they had a lot of injuries on the offensive side of the ball early in the season quantity green drew tekman missed a game game plus with a broken hand so they were down some weapons on the offensive side and they really had to lean on will love it especially early in the season when they were having to use some younger players on the offensive side of the ball that's why they scored only 18 points or less in three of their first six games third quarter kickoff is brought to you by heads up georgia don't text and drive distracted drivers take lives techman and urquhart are deep for the warriors and the ball is going to go over techman's head so the warriors will start at the 20-yard line [Music] [Applause] so offensively you know we've talked a lot about the north cobb defense but offensively if you're the warriors what are you looking to do here in the third quarter well if i'm the warriors what i'm looking for here in the third quarter you're talking about north cop right yeah well north cobb what i'm gonna do is continue to run the ball inside with cj cole i'm gonna mix in a little bit of will love it running in run the quarterback power and i'm also i'm gonna get christian single to number 34 in the game he's been big time in the second half of the season here you go first handoff goes to cj cole and he's going to get stacked up at the line of scrimmage no running room whatsoever for cj cole on the very first snap of the game that was elven coney making the tackle for the blue devils nice start and if you're tiff county you want to come out and play blue devil defense you want to limit these big plays that have hampered them in the first half so second down and nine after a one-yard pickup for cj cole lovett goes to the air and that's complete to the tight end zaire oh yeah fosobi with the catches first of the game 19-yard pickup in the first down well the safety got froze here they got two safeties high over top good job slant route excellent job by the receiver 14th catch of the year for olya fasobi oyasobi nice play first and 10 from the 40. wow what a tackle there by cody thompson he leveled cj cole that was a big hit he came downhill and that nice job that's what you want to do when your offensive lineman blocks down the first thing you're taught as a defensive lineman you should snap your head and your eyes inside and that's what he does here tackle blocks down comes down and puts a nice little that's not a dial that's a just a thigh you know a softer one but it still hurts it still hurts second down and ten ball at the 40-yard line cody thompson had an interception earlier in this game as well they'll sling it out there to christian singleton got a block by techman and run out of bounds by daewon barnes the safety [Applause] third down and five got singleton lined up out wide also they throw it out to singleton same play just to the other side oh yeah fasobi out there blocking for him but they can't get the first down as he gets dropped at the 46-yard line gonna be about three yards short well now i see what coach anders is talking that's tiff county blue devil football good play defense getting after i like seeing 11 guys run into the ball what i like to see what i was taught as a youngster from my earlier coaches you want to see a 22 arms swinging to the ball swarming that means 11 guys on the tackle nice work by the blue devils horton no rush kicks it away fair catch is called for and maiden dropped at the 20-yard line but i think cobb was able to fall right on top of it and he did 34-yard kick a near disaster for the blue devils but they'll go on offense here for the first time in the second half and we'll check in with nelly for the first time here in the second half which means one thing dr rush what does it mean it's time to kick it let's take it brought to us by our friends at georgia farm bureau insurance stop gac in pace academy this one has gone back and forth as well you see right there touchdown gac made it 21-10 but a 67-yard dion jackson run has closed the margin to 21-17 this is a one and a four halfway through the third four point ball game washington county also and fitzgerald up in the third quarter back upstairs all right zone read keeper by griffin collier and collier not going very far on that play christian wooten making the tackle and a flag down on the play as well but nelly just back to you for a moment that is a one and a four that gac pace game but remember pace was a state champion last year agreed agreed but once again we're just going by the numbers there are a lot of games that are one and fours that aren't traditional one and fours and archer and peach tree ridge everybody looks at that as a two and a three those are teams that are traditionally two and threes oh upset alert down on the coast by the way doherty leading savannah jenkins speaking of a one and a four fourteen ten third quarter got a chop block here block below the knees and that's going to back up tiff county it might be part of their new adjustment cut blocking yeah i do that too you still want to be engaged you can't be engaged up top and down low yeah can't have two offensive linemen and you see ashley anders over there making his case with the official he's probably saying that he wasn't engaged that's a hard block that's a hard call to make too a lot of times depends where yeah the angles are can can make that challenging first and 20 ball at the 10-yard line zone read again and off the hands of cobb he might have been across he might have been across the line of scrimmage when he threw that thing i think he was but they didn't drop a flag yeah they gave griffin collier a run throw option looks like he wanted to run it first they got it and then he pulled it up yeah they called it he was across the line of scrimmage when he threw the ball right that's gonna be a loss of down that play wasn't well designed that was a little choppy a little choppy then you know i mean [Music] so second down and 25 now ball back at the five yard line need to hear number one fred lloyd's name we need to hear number 13 rashad bateman making some plays if they're going to get back in this game handoff brenton jones slips one tackle and brenton jones irwin knocks him down at the 25 yard line but he gets a lot of it back right there 20 yard pickup on second and 25. well nice run by number three brenton jones they run a draw play gets downhill nice game nice game anytime you're backed up you got to think draw or screen that's just like football one-on-one win backed up fake draw think screen if you're on defense that'll put him over 100 yards for the night of course 69 of it came on his second carry of the night ball popped up into the air and nearly intercepted by ercart and it was christian albright again playing volleyball with griffin collier's passes man christian's having an all bright night tonight i know that's kind of cheesy though he's shining bright albright look at that up his face mask he heads it like a soccer ball he did it went right off the front of his face mask i got a funny feeling he could he'd be pretty nasty with the ball and basketball dunking on you you might not want to be under the rim when he's there unless you're christian you might put a tommy hawk on your dunk on you can be one of those daryl dawkins kind of dogs for those who remember chocolate thunder ingram [Applause] techman calls fair catch at the 39-yard line 37-yard kick by ingram [Music] well you know north cobb dolphins they've been a little stagnant as of late you know i don't know if they're taking the the pedal off you know taking the pedal off the metal but um they haven't thrown the ball as much in that second quarter and let's see what they do here well i think also i mean i think some of it has to do with the tiff county defense they played better i mean they got off to a slow start in this ball game they were kind of back on their hills you even said it their heads were spinning they didn't know where the ball was going but they've kind of got their bearings a little bit now yeah they've done an excellent job the last five or six series and um they're giving the offense an opportunity let's see how they handle this let's see how tiff county handles this situation now so first and ten from the 35 as coal goes in motion to the top and the run by lovett and coney gonna make a tackle on love it out there he had to get some double team help on it too to finally get him on the ground excellent job by north cobb's offensive line nick price brandon moore number 78 tim emerson the right tackle junior does an excellent job on that quarterback draw so second down and two first round of the 7a playoffs and love it dropped in his tracks by andrew johnson for a loss there you go penetration tackle of the night for loss for andrew johnson andrew johnson number 94 great player gets after it been one of the one of the bright lights this year for the tiff county defense came into the game with 46 tackles nine tackles for loss he's already picked up two more tfls tonight and a forced fumble too yeah he's a baller he's a baller he gets after well that was one of the guys that shane queen said look we got to put a hat on that guy tonight and early on they were able to do that looks like north cobb gonna run the clock down here for a moment then call a timeout at the 46-yard line facing a third down and four so north cobb and tiff county here in the first round of the 7 8 playoffs winner advances to play the winner of the lambert central gwinnett game in the third quarter lambert with a 23-14 lead so that means if lambert wins they would host the winner of this ball game right now that would be north cobb at lambert in the second round of the state playoffs next week solid season by lambert this year yep good team north cobb gunning for their ninth win of the season in their fifth in a row we saw them when they lost their last game their second loss of the season back on october 7th against the mckitchen team that's ranked fifth in the state and last time i checked they were losing at halftime to lasseter three nothing lasseter was the at-large team that got in on the points they didn't even get in they weren't even one of they weren't even a top four team in their region they were that at large team in 7a and lassiter of winning last time i saw it nelly what you got i'll give you your update that score has now officially flipped mckeicher now with the lead in that particular game and some other stuff going on we'll let you know after the third down play we'll update you with some more scores what's going on around the state a lot of number one seeds with a lot of big numbers looking forward to that third down and four here after the time out [Applause] they throw the pass complete to erwin j irwin rumbling down the sideline and finally shoved out of bounds inside the 30-yard line nicely executed 29-yard pickup well you also had the option to run here so that was a good job of running a fake because it was what third and four does a good job getting the ball out to erwin well designed play again short quick pass everyone does the rest good luck getting in front of that locomotive first and ten at the 25 yard line handoff cj cole cole tackled at the 20-yard line five yard pickup quay johnson in on that tackle so was eric atkins i think you're gonna see a lot of cj cole the second half attacking this blue devil defense cole now 13 carries 75 yards on the night he went for 114 last week in their 48-13 win against kennesaw state been getting some looks from middle tennessee gets the hand off again nothing doing cody thompson in the backfield tackle for loss cody thompson came up that corner like a rocket like what i've seen from cody thompson tonight he's got a pick and two tackles for loss this evening well remember this defense started a little bit slow and look right now the last four five six series they've been doing an excellent job in limiting this offense to any points in the most important part of the game you can give up yards but nothing matters it's all about how many points you give up they've done an excellent job after they gave up the 21. third down and eight from the 23 lovett rolling to his left and throwing and short for tekman and it's gonna be fourth down well nice pressure that time by the blue devil defense quarterback didn't have much time he's thrown against his natural throwing motion drifting to the left nothing was there trying to get to drew tekman but it's hard to throw when you're you got pressure coming coming at you and you're throwing to get your natural throwing motion a little awkward there well they're going to bring will horton out here to try a field goal horton seven of nine on the season with great range he's got looks from michigan state and south alabama and shane queen says quite simply this is the best kicker he has ever coached he doesn't like field goals but he sends this guy out because he's a weapon this is a 40-yard field goal to tim right in the middle of the field for will horton he's good from 55 more than but he let's see did you get that one in there no good no he pushed it wide had plenty of distance but he hooked it and the score remains 21-0 so horton just his third miss of the season ball goes back over to tiff county when we get back they've got some work to do they're down three scorers here in kennesaw [Music] at the heart of our community are the businesses that

power the whole city the quest to fuel tomorrow treasures of the earth on nova part of gpb's why wednesday this wednesday at 9. welcome back 5 55 to go third quarter from memory sewell stadium north cobb leading tiff by the score of 21 to nothing so let's show you what else is going on around the state as we kick it brought to us by our friends at georgia farm bureau insurance now walter cantrell stadium and there's a reason we're showing the young left-hander not kim king but bailey hochman 63 yards look at all the broken tackles lasseter came in as the wild card or the at-large entry 63 yards later right now you're looking at 21 to 10 mckitchen leading lasseter big numbers right now being put up by the likes of ware county savannah christian and benedictine down on the coast as we have games heading to the fourth quarter buford also putting up big numbers as well up 45-7 against north springs back upstairs for the second half of the third quarter to matt and hashtag dr rush all right thank you very much nelly this uh this north cobb defense has held tiff county scoreless now for close to 30 minutes of action and this is a tiff county offense averaging close to 33 points per game brenton jones trying to get around the edge not gonna happen in it that man again christian albright i think we can go ahead and say this is this is he's the mvp of the game well i don't know now we still got time left yeah right i mean gathers is gathered he's not far behind but so far right now so far in this game yep and i've been really impressed with this great young defensive end he's been outstanding in all phases of his game today second down and 13. wherever he is run to the other side right collier throws down field off the hands of his target i think that was fred lloyd they were trying to get the ball to no that was bateman it was bateman and now it's gonna be third down yeah and it's third down matt tiff county right now on third downs they're one for eight it's killed him this game can't go one for nine and think you're going to go on the road and win north cobb has held tiff to 221 yards of offense tiff averages 396 again and they have shut them down most of those yards came on their first two series really they have been stagnant ever since because of this north cobb defense throw across the middle and that's a first down catch and there's fred lloyd lloyd finally getting into the ball game that's his second catch it goes for 15 yards excellent job by the tift county offense they finally got gave the quarterback some time griffin collier had time number 10 could step up he had a clean pocket great protection that time by the offensive line nash bragg andrew self kj rivers number 61. let's see if they can keep that up a huge third down pickup right there zone read and griffin collier lunges forward a couple of three yards on the play thurman gathers making that tackle gathers an albright seems like every play seems like it seems like there's two of each of those guys there's two gatherers and there's two albrights right it does that's the only way they could be making all these tackles by themselves because there's actually two of each of them so third down sorry second down and seven from the 34. and there he is again albright no albright tackled the wrong guy that time nice call your kept it nice that was nice faked me fake me too faked albright well you got to throw it here in my opinion can't take a chance on running the ball there are the two dudes that have been wreaking havoc on tiff county tonight and they're doing it again ball up in the air and nearly picked kevin johnson was closing fast nearly had himself a pick back there and now it's gonna be forked out yeah it gets a little pressure that time from number 91 gather steps up in the pocket had opportunity to make a play there ball came out pretty hard maybe throwing a little hard but that's what that pressure does yeah i mean they're just i mean collier's had what two seconds to throw the ball tonight maybe the defensive ends are cutting the corner they're going three yards up field beating them so fast they're cutting the corner now in the normal game you want to at least wash them to five yards five steps up field as a pass rusher they're cutting it in literally in three steps they're cutting the corner that is not good for any offense ingram punting again and they got in there close to him that time tekman calls fair catch retreating over the shoulder nice catch nice ball skills that's pretty scary right there 44 44-yard kick an impressive catch by techman over the shoulder that's confidence though yeah you kidding you see calvin middleton the former star running back here at north cobb coming over there and congratulating him and said don't do that again by the way watch me neither i know the coach is like no yes all right good job don't do it again i was saying that to my brother no all right good job good job excellent there's techman goes out there splits up top screen at the 20-yard line handoff cj cole nice tackle by coney he came flying in there and hit him [Music] we're gonna get a lot of this dose of cj cole throwing a little number 34 christian singleton they're gonna try to run the ball run this clock down try to get out of here with no one getting injured get ready to move on to the second round tiff defense is showing a lot of resilience a lot of toughness in this second half so second down and eight tiff's showing blitz and quaid johnson making that tackle there on cj cole actually that was jawarin bird i think and burn birds shaken up again second time he's had to come off the field he's trying to get off the field and now quay johnson comes in for it [Applause] third down and seven [Applause] birds a nice undersized defensive lineman 510 205 defensive end [Music] hard to get up under those ones man i'm telling you it's not always bad to be a short d lineman i consider myself a short d line at six two closer six one yeah in the nfl but but i'm just saying at any level you learn leverage and you can you know hide as a gift i mean whether you're short there's gifts that you get and there's there's also gifts when you're real tall and rangy so there really are use the skills that god gave you yeah exactly right archer and peachtree ridge meeting tonight that's one of those great matchups you were talking about early nelly so kick it on that and tell us what's happening see matt went ahead and just went ahead and beat you to it dr rush time to kick it from georgia farm bureau and this is what we're looking at right here archer with a 17-14 lead on peachtree ridge but it looks like peachtree ridge just scored a touchdown we'll show it to you right here over the top down the middle touchdown so peachtree ridge now on top of archer in this 2-3 matchup upper left-hand part of your bracket 2017 p.a.t pending in a back and forth game in gwinnett county and yes dr rush we will have your north and south gwinnett update coming up time about time he said hey you ain't even mentioning clark central north gwinnett come on man don't forget about your boy now got a young chuck slippers over there i believe that it's called giving you the hook up is that what the young kids say you gotta keep an eye on my guys man third down and seven following the north cobb timeout love is gonna step up and try to run to the sticks and he will get there so lovett picks up the first down nice job goes back nothing's open downfield great coverage by the blue devils and will love it just just makes a play makes a play yeah 13-yard pickup for lovid right here had a takedown right there in the middle of the line the officials didn't throw a flag on that the linebackers you saw they were trying to hit the crossing receivers and lost lost the vision where will lovett was at he was able to scoot through the middle first and ten from the 36 under three minutes to play in the quarter singleton gets the ball and singleton not advancing very far on the play [Applause] just did get back to the line of scrimmage yeah it looks like it's like north cobb has decided they're going to try to just run the ball run the clock out and uh kind of peel back their offense a little bit [Applause] so right when you say that's when they're going to take a big shot downfield cole running it and cole lost a yard on the play [Applause] blue devils doing an excellent job the defense they're doing all they can do keeping points off the board [Applause] that was andrew johnson on the tackle that's his third tackle for it's loss tonight productive night three tackles for loss a forced fumble yeah johnson's been balling out he's been everything that we thought he'd be defense is also they're showing a lot of stoutness too this blue devil defense trips up top handoff goes no keeper by loving on the zone read and that was johnson again johnson and cody thompson teaming up to make that tackle and get the big quarterback love it on the ground and it's fourth down well in our kamatsu forklift keys the game we talked about andrew johnson and his ability and what he has and he's shown everything that we thought he'd be strong at the point of attack he's doing a good job rushing the passer and he's doing a great job against a great running team and cj cole in this north cobb offense so horton out there to punt at the 22-yard line two men deep for the blue devils that's cobb and then bateman on the other side it's tiff county they just need some they need a big play something to get this momentum going on their side put some points on the board somebody has to try to change it if they're going to have a chance to overcome this 21-0 lead nice air ball there as cobb retreats to the 18-yard line hands it off to bateman bateman runs into his own man and still running across the 40 and bateman up to the 46-yard line on the final play of the third quarter so a little trickeration there on the reverse by the blue devils on the punt return and maybe that's the momentum they need headed into the fourth quarter well they got great field position nice design nice job on the reverse excellent job right here on the reverse i love it how it gets downfield i love when young guys they see it and they hit it could this be the momentum breaker we'll find out blue devils on offense when you come back to start the fourth quarter whether you plan to attend a two-year college four-year university or go straight into the world of work

and do stuff that you've never done before my reason why is passion my reason why is pride [Music] start of the fourth quarter at emory sewell stadium here in kennesaw the eighth ranked north cobb warriors leading the 10th ranked tiff county blue devils 21 to nothing here in the first round of the 7a playoffs winner advances to play either lambert or central gwinnett next week in the second round of the playoffs lambert leading central winnett 23-14 if that holds lambert would be the host team against one of these two teams next week so blue devils on offense to start the fourth quarter first and ten from the 46. this is a double pass watson back to collier and collier across the 40 and griffin collier out of bounds at the 30-yard line so pulling some tricks out of the bag here chuck to try to get their offense jump started well it looks like they're that's exactly what they're trying to do they've just did a reverse on the punt return then they just come back with a throwback to the quarterback from a receiver and that's what you got to do you got to take some calculated risks and that's what they're doing and right now it's been successful in the last two plays if tiff county can get a score here we've got a game brenton jones stopped at the 30-yard line nothing doing right there thurman gathers and christian albright on the tackle but there's also a flag out at the point of the tackle as well face mask good break for tiff man 91-51 i mean they're just just i mean they're just destructive yep just destructive right now yeah one of them committed the face mask there so that's that's really the first big mistake though either one of those guys has made it was thurman gathers watch got some i don't know i don't see a face mask i thought he got his jersey if we look we see that one more time i i think you know i don't think he got his face mask i thought it was the i thought it was the the neck of the jersey it was really close that's the first penalty on north cobb in this game and i don't know about it look to see does he get does he get the face mask or does he get his jersey that's not face mask you're right wow that's a tough break for north cobb right there because i don't think that's face mask that's jersey that's the neck grabbed his shoulder came across just pulling it his head pulled back and that's what the officials saw they throw the tunnel screen to bateman and bateman afford to the 11-yard line so following the big mark off and then the four-yard pickup right there they're at the 11. the blue devils are doing a good job right now they got they have north cobb on their heels a little bit here now they just have to capitalize on it they have to score seven at some point here or they won't be able to come back they need it right here zone reed and griffin collier going to be dropped and that is thurman gathers with the tackle for loss if you ever hear a name gathers you know they're a baller yeah big strong from jumpy on down to the robert gathers and just quarterback keeps it nice job and disciplined by gathers that's his responsibility they were hoping he would go down on the dive that's how this designed from the offense gathers very discipline on that and taking the quarterback which was his responsibility in the defense third down and nine collier has some protection this time now gonna run it right up the middle and griffin collier down and the ball is out ball is out let's see if they're gonna rule he was down was his knee down looks like they're ruling that he was down when the ball came out that'd be a tough one if they gave that ball away that'd be a tough one well he picked up the first down on the run they're gonna rule that he has the first down and the ball came out after he was down take a look at it right here yeah that ball's out that's a fumble yep but they rule him down nice break again for tiff you make your own breaks and sometimes things go your way and touchdown for tiff county man that was huge we talked about tiff having to finally make a touchdown if they're even going to consider getting back in this game on that drive all the breaks went to county's way every break but also get also give a lot of credit on the fumble play give a lot of credit to griffin collier for making a play when he ran the ball good job right here deciding to give it to your running back brenton jones number three so i'm gonna tell you this on those last two plays a lot of credit goes out to griffin collier making the right decisions on the play so tiff county finally gets on the board on the touchdown run by brenton jones and chuck you're right tiff county got some breaks a penalty call that didn't look like it was actually a penalty a fumble that looked like it was a fumble what wasn't called a fumble tiff county's back in the ball game today companies in the aerospace advanced manufacturing and film industries need skilled workers and the earning potential

right here we go opening two minutes of the fourth quarter and tiff county finally gets on the board with a six play 53-yard drive capped by the two-yard touchdown run by brenton jones and let's check in with nelly down there on the sideline he's going to kick it for us all right let's kick and show you what's going on around the state brought to us by our friends at georgia farm bureau getting some finals they're trickling in but we'll show you what's going on here stevenson had the lead but that's going to get snapped out of the end zone so it's another two points on the board it's the second safety of the night actually my math is correct for stevenson so they're up 17-7 in a battle with effingham finals tonight other folks moving on fitzgerald at the top of that list thanks to steve carter for the heads up there'll send it back upstairs more finals as we go that include calhoun yeah tiff county beat fitzgerald this season in fact ashley anders was telling us before the game they had 12 000 people there for their 35-28 victory over fitzgerald this year tiff county scoring drive six plays 53 yards took two minutes it was set up by that big punt return of 35 yards by rashad bateman and we talked about breaking the momentum of momentum breaker right now it's going tiff's way because look the offense now for north cobb they haven't done anything i mean they look like they're kind of sleepwalking a little bit but give tipped a lot of credit they're competing and if they can get the ball back here and score again we got some trouble going on and we're gonna have a game ramirez gonna kick off and a line drive kick that techman has go over his head and through the back of the end zone so the warriors will be at the 20-yard line now when north cobb was successful in the first quarter they were mixing it up they were doing more throwing than run they were running the ball to set up the pass so it's going to be really interesting to see what this north cobb offense comes back out and do and if they can restart the engine you know it looks like the engine's a little cold right now so they haven't been really productive in the couple quarters now yeah they scored all 21 points in the first 11 and a half minutes of this game so they've now gone you know 26 minutes without a score so back out there on offense and even 10 minutes left in this game first round of the state playoffs winner advances in the second looks like they'd be playing lambert keeper by love it and love it jawarin bird making the tackle 4-yard run for lovitt [Music] quarterback power [Applause] i i had a quarterback that was 6-3 220. i'd run quarterback power too yeah i keep the ball you know i'd keep giving that run pass option he's doing a good job but the other playmakers got to step up a little bit here if they're going to continue to keep this lead yeah techman has only two catches tonight his first one went 48 yards and they've gotten in the ball just one other time handoff singleton singleton tackled by cody thompson and he picks up a couple of yards going to bring up a third down and three number 48 cody thompson he's flat out ball in this the last three quarters and he's stepped up he's really got this blue devils defense for me he's being the leader right now him and andrew johnson doing some good stuff number 94. well if they could get a stop right here they're getting the ball back and still lots of time left in this ball game third down and three play action love it gets rid of it the singleton singleton's got a block out they're gonna pick up the first down what a huge play by will lovett he was hit and still was able to get rid of the ball and that was a huge fear for ashley anders defense is love it's hard to get down on the ground with one hit we talked about these jumbo sized quarterbacks look i mean he's draped all on him look he's not going down he's draped all over him he makes a great job does will love it number seven i mean excellent job but hey you can't coach size that's in your dna now i mean atkins the linebacker is 185 and loveth the quarterback is 220 right up the middle cj cole and cole carrying barnes down the field look at him back pebbly he's backpedaling five yards 29 yard well big run big run explodes downhill makes one cut and goes now he just puts on the jets now watch this he's running backwards he's running backwards and driving him down the field holy smokes well also number two dejuan barnes you gotta want to get dirty throw him down hard don't try to strip him he was holding him up 103 yards rushing now for cj cole told you when i throw that wrap on he's a baller he's stepping up first and ten from the 40. cole again coney making the tackle three-yard pickup for cole and if you didn't get a chance to see the kamatsu forklift keys to the game i put a little old-school rap in there for my man cj cole so if you just turn it on that's what we're leaving well it'll repeat at 11 o'clock okay well there you go so stick around to see chuck smith's performance second down and seven that's after the post game show by the way that's right with mark harmon and jack k britton and john nelson second out and seven they'll have all the scores coming up keeper love it big hole for lovett look at him putting his arm down get a stiff arm picks up a first down i mean between cole and lovett i mean those are two bulldozers you're trying to tackle when they're running the ball yeah quarterback power does a good job getting downhill good job by the offensive line turning that dial back up a little bit here number 56 aj diaz the senior doing that have an excellent game today nick price jr center that big three also brandon moore number 78 that offensive line is having a solid day today with this running game of north cobb big answer by the north cobb offense on this drive and the play of the game and a game full of big play play of the game might be that third down pass when lovitt should have been sacked and they couldn't get him on the ground and he picked up the first down that was huge because they wouldn't have to punt there tiff county would have had the ball no you're exactly right that that probably is the player of the game we'll love it he's had an excellent game today he's thrown the ball well he's ran the ball well he's led this offense in a great way got 176 yards passing 61 yards rushing for love it tonight as we kick it with jon nelson all right guys you know how we've been talking about ones and fours that really aren't ones and fours so let's show you low left as you follow in your brackets as we kick it gac and pace under a minute to go touchdown pretty much sends it in right there gac looking to advance to the second round and they're about 40 seconds away from doing that once again low left as you fill out your brackets post game show we're getting a lot of finals and we'll show you a lot of intriguing matchups for the second round including one in single a that's already happened this year all right that's a tease yes it is that's an official tv term so first and ten for north cobb ball at the 22 yard line so pace state champions a year ago trying to they got andrew thomas who's the top one of the top offensive lineman in the country committed to georgia on that team looks like their season is coming to a close tonight that's love it on the carry and cody thompson making the well let's look at the the thought process right now on the defensive side you can't give up any points you got to take some calculated risk you got to send some pressure you got to figure a way to force the turnover or hopefully north cobb comes out with no points i mean you can't give up any right now if you're north cobb you want to you want to try to get seven and you know kind of finish this game yeah i mean the other thing about this drive by north cobb whether they get points or not it's been a big time drainer that you're exactly right we're down to six minutes to play they've held the ball for four minutes here second down and six and mod strozier trying to get outside and strozier's still on his feet and down to the seven yard line and they're trying to strip the ball and that's why strozier was able to keep his feet they're tackling the ball instead of the player and they're thinking like we're thinking you watch you watch the blue devil defenders they're trying to get the ball out that's what they're trying to do and i understand that you got to take some chances now cody thompson is hurt on the play and he's angry too he's angry because he got hurt this is possibly his final high school football game right here unless tiff county can come back and win and you know with five minutes to play in his team their backs against the wall and the first and goal coming up he's got to come off the field and we had a penalty on the play i didn't see the penalty flag hate to see that for the senior linebacker he's had a heck of a ballgame tonight yeah 6-3 215 pounds he's he's competed well made big plays and you know started leading the charge for the for the blue devil defense to give him a chance to get back in this game we had i think it was a holding call i never saw the call from the official so second down now and eight it was a hold so now second down and eight from the 20 and new life here for tiff county but they still got to come up with a turnover irwin gets the carry oh man touchdown jay irwin i mean you've got cj cole who's 210 you've got jay irwin who's 220 you got lovett who's 220 running the ball i mean you got to have some you got to have some real beef to get in front of those guys and stop them and those guys when they get going they're hard to stop irwin the big touchdown run right here well nice job here nick price number 64 does a great job moving the line of scrimmage aj diaz again brandon moore number 78 timur emerson the right tackle kadarian carter the left tackle the senior judge next in the job i'm giving a game ball to the offensive line of north cobb they are running the ball well controlling everything today nine plays 80 yards a big third down play by lovett early in the drive kept it alive and then jay irwin with the nail in the coffin [Music] football fridays on gpb is made possible in part by regions bank it's time to expect more georgia's electric membership corporations so much more than electricity technical college system of georgia learn more earn more cigna together all the way and viewers like you thank you [Music]

time on sound breaking i knew that guy was the important guy to watch he's the guy in charge the producer that's the whole point of having someone like that hearing something that you would just

and show themselves completely [Applause] monday at 10 on gpb [Applause] [Music] come on [Applause] [Music] jay irwin yeah big muscle run for jay irwin and cj cole they're eating they're feeding 28-7 north cobb they are five and a half minutes away from advancing to play lambert it looks like in the second round of the state playoffs that would be at lambert tcsg scoring drive nine plays 80 yards and drained 433 off the clock yup and he got the nice little blonde in the hair you know odell beckham style lambert up 30 to 14 on central gwinnett so if that result holds they would be the host yeah yeah right to my day was to rock a little something like that we just call that a philly round i don't know what they call it now they use like a a brush now all the young guys on the young cat's got a brush they use on their head all day they twist up have nice you know nice curl effect wow yeah sounds like that would take a lot of time no i really don't know no a sponge not a brush it's like a sponge you sponge on the top of your head you know yeah you know study it's just new style young bucks i like it though they've been very stylistic here tonight in route to a 28-7 lead against griffin collier in the tiff county blue devils 232 yards of total offense for the blue devils here with five and a half minutes to play will lovett's got 241 himself yep we'll love it he's had a big game but now we're going to see what what's going to happen on the other side of the ball with collier they got to throw the ball now here to if they're going to have a chance to even get think about getting back in the game and here comes the heavy rush and collier gets it out of there and nearly intercepted by delshawn harris at the 40-yard line should have had an interception [Applause] [Music] a little pressure here coming nothing yeah a little late pressure but he tried to catch that with his chest we got to use the hands bro gotta use those hands that's probably why he's a db oh yeah but you got to make that play oh no no no doubt second down and 10 ball at the 20-yard line north cobb closing in on their first playoff win since the 2013 season holding and that was gathers who got a hand on that ball as colyer was releasing it fluttered up in the air like a wounded duck [Music] if we could show that replay again i mean gathers has great hips him and albright their hips are flipping that's one of the most important aspects of being the great pass rusher they have good hips just watch here on the far right watch his hips when he's using his hands his hips transition right here look at that look at that that's great hips that's what you look for yeah that was all bright albright got his arm i thought it was gathers but albright was the one who snagged his arm albright has just been an absolute beast a nightmare for the tiff county offensive line tonight brenton jones on the carry and jones going to be dropped at the 21-yard line [Applause] had a late hitter there i thought they would call a personal foul like no let it let it go let it go they're going to run the ball here they're running the ball here they're going to say that we're not going to get back in the game and they're protecting the quarterback from possibly taking too many extra shots third down here comes the heavy rush again pass thrown complete deloitte gets by ercart and picks up the first down so lloyd up to the 35 yard line great first and second effort there by fred lloyd to pick up the first down on the 15-yard reception nelly what you got all right let's show you how things ended and once again it's the end of a season for one of these guys you see how the game ends right there so one team down one team moves on to the second round st pius coming in at two and eight you know getting into the playoffs so a great run for paul standard to get into the dance and we see what happened tonight christian wooten on the tackle right there dropping brenton jones after just a two-yard pick up well for all intents and purposes game's over when they're running the ball they've conceded that they're not going to be able to make any kind of run here and um that might be smart with this pass rush [Music] collier throws to the outside bateman the target so ridgeland has finished off saint pius there the golden lions season concludes at two and nine and ridgeland advances to the second round and north cobb now four minutes away from advancing to the second round themselves well i like the protection now the back has been staying in to help [Music] third down and missed his target bateman was the man he was looking for there on the crossing route and now it's going to be four down this north cobb team probably this is the this is the 11th season for head coach shane queen this is either the second or third best team he's had in his 11-year run with the with the north cobb warriors in 2007 they were 10-0 in the regular season ranked number one in the state when they were beaten [Music] back in 2007 downfield collier on fourth down they miss it bateman and that's going to ball's going to go on downs right there yeah in 2007 uh they were ranked number one in the state 10-0 beaten by peachtree ridge probably the most talented team they had they had 12 college scholarship players on that team that year best season they ever had was in 2012 they got to the state semifinals before losing to lovejoy and that team went 11-3 and of course the the book is yet to be finished on this 2016 team how they stack up but they're getting farther than the 2007 team did and they're advancing to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2013. but shane queen says this team's a lot like that 07 team and it's very close-knit and these players have all grown up playing together for a long time and that's a monstrosity on the carry and strozier down to the 22-yard line yeah and that 07 team i mean they were just special they had went through a lot of battles together and they grew together and that that's what defines that season and he talked about you know coach queen talked about this team having that same kind of pedigree 15-yard pickup for stroziers we're down to our final three and a half minutes here tiff county the number three seed out of region one will see their season end at six and five just their second playoff appearance in the last eight years they got griffin collier coming back next year as a senior quarterback and three-year starter yeah griffin collier great year this year threw for 2491 yards the foundation of this offense was throwing the ball 115 yards passing today that that was definitely one of the big keys to this team losing the game today another final in in 7a peachtree ridge has eliminated archer 28-23 so the lions of peachtree ridge advancing to the second round of the state playoffs i'm gonna tell you number one for p3 rich connor hayward flat out balling listen i'm gonna tell you this this guy is special he punts he returns kicks he plays quarterback he plays running back one of the best players in the state bar none second down and eight ball is at the 23 yard line two and a half minutes to play strozier gets another handoff strozier slips out of two tackles strozier inside the 10 and down to the five before they finally get him on the ground rosie running like he's hungry feed him late in the game [Laughter] how many tackles does he break let's count one here's two nice [Applause] there you go they finally get them down good run third and fourth guy had to finally get strozier on the ground and a flag at the end of the play penalties against north cobb no it's on tiff county [Applause] personal foul on the blue devils [Music] so half the distance to the goal ball at the two and a half yard line [Applause] and cole in for the touchdown cj cole takes it in and it is 34-7 all power by north cobb the offense that cranked it back up here the last two drives have had a lot of success on the ground blue devils defense a valiant effort north cobb today just a little too much north cobb will pick up their ninth win they will be one victory shy of their third double-digit winning season under shane queen and they'll try to get it next week at lambert yeah i really like what i see from this north cobb team after he lost to mkeitra this will be their fifth win in a row [Music] tcsg touchdown replay three yard touchdown run by cj cole it's his second touchdown run of the night four plays 39 yards on the touchdown capper there by cole after they had stopped him on downs but you know we started the night chuck talking about this north cobb team and some consider this team a dark horse in the 7a field ranked eighth coming into the night not a lot of people talking about them talking about of course mill creek talking about grayson colquitt roswell those teams this is an extremely athletic team and we've seen that here tonight they've got a lot of ballers yep as you like to call them exactly they got some ballers now this is a team that could uh could scare some people and i tell you where they got ballers at that meeting a lot that make them relevant and make them dangerous on the offensive and defensive line they're strong on the old line with nick price and aj diaz brandon moore and the rest group not just skill players not just skill players they got those guys they got athletes on the line but when you get in the playoffs when you're in a dance and you want to dance in the playoffs it starts at the offensive and defensive lines and that's what north cobb has i mean i thought it was an interesting observation ashley anders their head coach said you look at their offensive line they look like basketball players they don't they're not the you know they're not these big old huge behemoths they look like basketball players on that offensive line well they were movers today and they did an excellent job to me hats off to the offensive line of north cop they did an excellent job nelly yeah i was just present for that noogie that shane queen gave defensive coordinator russ rainey russ is one of the four guys on the staff that's a north cobb alum you see him there in the orange just dumping out of the right-hand side of the screen let's run through some finals and tell you who's advancing to the second week it is cherokee winner over wheeler 45-21 conqueror wins 48-7 over north paulding grayson 56-7 over mountain view mckitchen 35-10 over lasseter after trailing early mill creek shuts out newton to nothing roswell over pebblebrook 45-7 westlake hangs on to beat etowah 24-23 down in 6a alatoona 28-6 over lanier looks like they will be in a rematch of the 6a title game since glenn academy was

and you can feel it in the air you can see it on the field and i tell you what even though the score was 35 to seven that third quarter got really tough and you know what i wouldn't say that that's truly indicative of the heart that they they had out there on the team um a good hard fought effort by both teams for sure was a good game all right let's check in with john nelson he's got the winning coach shane queen from north cobb john i think the word that comes to mind coach is dominating on defense time well we started off real slow you know they broke up but i was so glad we held him right there i think that was a good gut check for our defense and a lot of confidence the rest of the game they played lights out man i ca the effort was unbelievable and to get this win to get you into the second round means a lot to this program well it means a lot to our community our school and these seniors deserve this that's when you come out here and fight you know a coach is going to be back next year but those seniors man they deserved everything that happened i'm so happy for them what's this ride been like this season knowing that the expectations were high you get into the

the running backs we just got together whoever's in there we're going to pound them sir all right now it's time for a play of the game you're good cj come on in here all right now first thing i want to talk about but for actually what am i saying look at a towel here so all right so it doesn't go over that so there towel player the game all right let's go over the interception first and foremost it looked like it donged off a helmet popped up into the air that was one of the plays of the year no question yes there was definitely was we they've run all week in practice and i just got a hand on it and made a great play on it what was the week of looking at game take like what did you guys see in tiff what were the biggest challenges we just knew they were a really physical team you know downtown georgia they played physical football so we knew we had to match their physicality up front so all right you look at that scoreboard and the score is what it is does that surprise you or is that expected to have that dominant and effort to shut them down after those first two drives we expected it because we practiced great all week so we just knew we was going to come out with a great game plan and execute well there you go executing well which means one thing you get hardware for a lot of defensive efforts so albright all bright for north cobb we'll send it back over to the set for you come on sue forklift player of the game 5-1 dark speaking of christian albright we will get to him in a little bit he is our player of the night as well as our play of the game but first we're going to get to a little bit of social media all night long we were having some conversations so here's the total outcome of our poll results it was a 50-50 split on who would win this ballgame and then we had a fan from the stands chiming in with their friday night lights picture and then we have matthew saying that sportscenter top 10 should be taking notice of christian albright of north cobb first round of the playoffs and the kid is bringing it yeah we couldn't agree more so speaking of that let's get to our play of the game this one came in the first quarter goes to north cobb obviously for holden tiff county to scoreless for the most of the game so we'll go to that play right now christian albright of north cobb the extremely athletic play that you just saw a little bit ago the interception off of the helmet was happening in the first quarter it picks off griffin collier agile and athletic play well there we go all right griffin collier throws the ball tiff tipped by christian albright there and then he saves it turns it into reception there extremely athletic agile play it's all about christian albright all night long so there you go there you have it for the

upper right go ahead and slide her down to the low section and we'll update things here you know how this one stands wheeler loses to cherokee cherokee moves on mill creek big shutout 41 nothing tonight over newton parkview beat south forsyth mckitchen after trailing 10-7 early on put the pedal down and they beat lasseter for the win there so go ahead and bring it full and we can add norcross to the mix here down low left so norcross advances and once again when hill grove and lounge decide that they want to go final that is your look at 7a so and her hand her handwriting is so much better than mine mark and jackie so we're going to come back in just a little bit and let you see what 6a looks like but that's your 7a bracket pretty much all full i think that brookwood cockweight game looks interesting because they already played once this season yeah so you get that early round matchup there and so there aren't any secrets but that caulkwood county team that you and i both we've all seen this year is far different from the one that was there in the first four weeks of the year oh you know and should louds win down in that bottom half they would come up here and play norcross who won the region championship and of course norcross is one of the three unbeaten teams remaining in 7a yeah so you've got a lot of region one versus gwinnett county and so that's our early look at 7a we're going to load 6a and show you what's going on there in just a sec sounds great woodstock's going to take on grace and i'm not sure that's you know it's good to win but boy that's going to be a tough one in the next round right a lot of teams making it through you know not some not any major upsets or major surprises so far at this point so all the ones two's kind of making their way in yeah there were a couple of close games tonight in 7a but a lot of them were a little bit more on the lopsided side as a lot of ones beat the four seeds and the close ones there with the two uh two teams winning by one point would be the battle of the one point games going on so a lot going on that bracket that's good yeah right now it's very interesting and there's 17 undefeated teams left in all of george's play three of them uh mill cross mill creek norcross and roswell of course unbeaten in 7a and you know roswell's kind of been a bit on a roll yeah i mean i was surprised here john say that roswell got off to a slow start against pebble brook i didn't think that would be the case just the way they've been running the ball um so far this year they've got sheldon evans have a really good quarterback too who also we should profile but you know obviously they're a huge powerhouse and i would love to see mill creek shannon jarvis and company always always put on a good show whenever we go out there absolutely they do and it's very interesting as you go on this year's the first year with the realignment that there is a class 7a right so there's a lot of good things going on in 6a and we've got a lot to look forward to as the postseason continues it's only just beginning so we've got a lot in store for the rest of the year you know you got the giggles but you also all season long you got to follow all these great quarterbacks that were in the state of georgia it's just it's a lot at this point it's a lot of teams so once we get to the point where we can narrow it down it makes things a lot easier and you kind of you know you weed out the two and eight types of teams and you kind of get in to see what you're really dealing with but yeah a lot of great quarterbacks obviously across you know you mentioned norcross baron radcliff is a really unique guy but yeah maybe we should go talk to some new ones all right let's go now we're going to take a look back into last season into our way back machine there was a terrific game in the class 6a championship matchup last year between roswell and caulkwood county caulkwood county had won the championship the year before they were going for back-to-back championships in a 30-win in a row record let's take a look back and see how they did welcome you inside the georgia dome for the georgia high school association 6a championship game the defending state champion and 14-0 caulkwood county packers take on the 14-0 roswell hornets season neely goes to the air to the far side it's caught it's gonna go 81 yards on the second play of the game aj smith who caught the game-winning touchdown with just 10 seconds left against grayson last friday night gets the hornets on the board just 46 seconds into this game and now keel pollard out of their wild hog formation takes the direct snap stiff arms his man and pulls his way into the end zone [Applause] pollard gets hit and still gets in xavier mckinney the safety who's committed to alabama hit him in the backfield and still couldn't stop him that's great parrish goes up top timely with the spectacular touchdown catch and caught with county has taken a 20 to 10 lead and they have set a new georgia state scoring record at the same time luis martinez he has 31 career field goals he is 31 of 45 in his career he has two field goals from tying the state record for field goals in a career and this is a 31-yard attempt and the kick is on its way and it is good and rush probes team currently ranked number two in the nation they're gonna be number one in the state of georgia locked down in the next 84 seconds it'll be the third state championship in caulkwood county history and we're talking about a long history folks over 100 years of football going back to the days of the moultrie high school packers and this is for the record rush probe is going to give luis martinez a chance to set the state record for career field goals a 42-yard attempt [Applause] and it is good another record luis martinez now holds the record for most field goals in a career that is career field goal number 34. good memories from the men from moultrie on their back-to-back championships and 30 wins in a row they lost the first four games this season they won their next seven i wouldn't count them out lost class seven and they have not looked back since which that shouldn't really surprise a whole lot of people so yeah the 6a championship game there from last year and now speaking of 6a we're going to see some of the new teams and john nelson's going to fill us in with who's made it to the next round john and i believe this is a completed bracket thanks to the stylus of riley and the styling riley so let's go upper left and show folks what's going to happen here in the second round and gainesville and harrison this game was back and forth early gainesville had the lead harrison moves on great year for the folks who are hoya backers tucker had a dominating win tonight against bradwell institute so looks like harrison gets to travel over 285 to take on tucker in round number two lee county dominating win tonight for dean fabrizio 41-0 over evans they go forward and they will come to atlanta to take on maize maze holds cambridge to 14 points so mays gets the duke tonight maze is the number one seed they're in charge of that little mini bracket slider on up let's go down to the low corner and look at this rematch from the championship game from last year ala tuna and glen academy alatoona over lanier a three beating a two not necessarily something that is uncommon this time of year glenn academy dominating performance it was 45-0 in the second quarter glen academy pulled their starters they go on to win big over jonesboro down low look at what's going on down here northside warner robins are the two seed out of region one big performance over grove town tonight they move on and they get to host because hughes upsets john's creek so john's greek gladiators lose tonight langston hughes gets the win willie cannon and his staff a big win in a 1-4 matchup but they travel to central georgia next week tough place to play mcconnell talbert stadium go ahead and bring her full that's the left hand side of the bracket let's go up to the right hand side upper right and we'll show you what happened here this game was back and forth stevenson and effingham stevenson with two safeties on the day beats effingham county so stevenson moves on and they take on decula those jones boys in gwinnett county you know that they are putting up some strong numbers in 6a and 7a tequila winner host stevenson next week north gate and centennial this one was back and forth northgate holds on 20 to 16 for the win there and valdosta put on 69 on lakeside evans tonight so valdosta will host at baysmore hider northgate if northgate has their way this game will be over within about an hour and 45 minutes but alan rodemaker's defense should be ready for this one let's go low right and show you what happened here lovejoy put in the mid 40s on richmond hill tonight dalton the big performance they also scored over 40 points in beating the double g's from wynder barrow down low alexander and alpharetta this was back and forth but we all know how tough alexander's been in their region so alexander gets the duke as the two seed and they get to host because we've talked about region one and how tough they are coffee and head coach robbie pruitt in the bunch from douglas they get the win tonight big numbers over heritage conyers so they turn into road warriors take on alexander next week so bring her full and that is your look at your 6a bracket harrison tucker lee county maze a latina glen academy in your rematch go to the brackets and look at everything else and go on so that's your 6a guys but i know that jackie the instant i said ala tuna and glen academy that's where she lit up well yeah i mean you know because when i talked to dj dallas of glen academy earlier this offseason i mean that that game last year haunted him a little bit you know not winning that championship game and he had the score the final score of that game as his you know twitter header and i was like why would you do that and he's like it's just motivation it's all i need to kind of push my team forward and he's actually one of the great quarterbacks too that we had on our list is the top six in the beginning of the season but then he kind of fell fell off the the chart but that's not because everything he's done wrong he's just a he's a guy who can he runs it a lot and this is strictly you know passing statistics but um yeah that one that one haunted him a little bit so i'm interested to see how that how that one goes how it kind of shakes out you know another game to watch is stevenson and tekula dakula's had an excellent season and of course stevenson coach ron gartrell he had some back surgery right at the beginning of the season and he had some problems there he couldn't coach from the sidelines and so he actually watched the first couple of games that were over at halford stadium from his pickup truck out in the parking lot where he could just kind of look in and watch a little bit of it because he couldn't stand physically you know on the sidelines throughout so it's good to see him getting healthier getting better his team is winning they're now in the second round of the playoffs and then a nice little rebound too after the game against tucker last week in that dekalb county rivalry so good for them to kind of make the next jump and obviously they're always in in the conversation they always seem to be just right there so good for them for making it to the next round of the playoffs we're moving on coming up games continue to end which means brackets continue to fill up and don't worry john nelson will have all the bracketology news that you can handle the gpv football fridays in georgia post game show continues right after this time out [Music] next time on sound breaking i knew that guy was the important guy to watch he's the guy in charge the

the show so we're going to blow through a lot of this stuff and let you see what's going on clark central and carver atlanta let's start up in the upper left that's tomorrow at two o'clock at lakewood stadium so winner of that one we'll get stockbridge rolls over south effingham tonight socrates scored in the 30s they move on griffin in a shootout over warner robins 56-49 so griffin moves on with their electric offense and they get arabia mountain you saw them in back roads and backfields first ever playoff win for the school knocking off villarooka so arabia mountain hosts griffin and that game could go a very long time next week all right let's go on down low riverwood and loganville loganville was leading in this one we've yet to get a final here so loganville leading over riverwood and whoever wins this one goes to waycross because ware was up 35-7 and held on 35-28 against ola so where county will host next week at veterans memorial stadium so where and the winner of riverwood and loganville down low whitewater and bainbridge bainbridge had a rough regular season 3 three six and one i believe they get the win tonight as a two seed but they get to go to rome and john reid in the rome wolves that's going to be big next week so bainbridge and rome that is low left up high jones county and wayne county we're looking for a final there jones county the greyhounds get the win so jones county moves on knocking off wayne county which means that the greyhounds go to beaufort because buford put up 45 tonight in their win against north springs so jones county and beaufort are next week so lithonia and carrollton is next up on the board carrollton was leading in that one and we're waiting for a final on carrollton and lithonia so we'll move on waiting for a final there and we're also waiting for riverdale and thomas county central as well so when we have ideas on those two once again go to the website and go to the app as well down low right woodland stock bridge shuts out new hampstead tonight so they move on and they will play grady grady knocked off walnut grove who came in at four and six grady hosts woodland stockbridge next week kellen southwest dekalb this one was going on back and forth kell had the lead in the fourth quarter so it looks like kellog's the three moves on and they will play stars mill if kell holds on to the lead there so stars mill the one seed will host the winner of kell and southwest to cab the update that we have on carrollton is carrollton leading in the third quarter by the score of 31 to 14. so that's your quick look at 5a we'll come back and blow through the others in just a bit four three two and one good to see grady making it yeah you did a story on their quarterback there well you know the name of their quarterback kayla newton so you know obviously cam newton's younger brother maybe that's not so obvious but yeah cam newton's younger brother doing some good things over at grading when i talked to him this offseason you know he was really kind of just very humble and was like look i'm you know not like the other quarterbacks you've talked to i don't have a lot of offers coming in right now but i tell you what he is one heck of a football player he's in our top six in the quarterbacks the the quarterback of the year the arms race that we've been following all season long so and i know his goal was first and foremost to take care of grady football less about himself and he's like look my only goal if grady does well then i'm doing well and that's all i care about you know and he's put up some very big big numbers i think i want to say he's in the 2000s whatever our graphic is i think he's and crazy touchdowns and you know he looks a lot like cam newton when he runs and he's fast the kid can run well he's going to get a lot more scholarship i think so yeah let's send it back over to john nelson with the guys in 4a all right four three two and one we're going to blow through these in a hurry waiting on oconee county in northwest whitfield this one was oconee county leading so let's go up here so look at this one and whoever gets oconee county northwest whitfield will end up with woodward academy woodward academy knocked off ups and lead tonight 42 to nothing so oconee county northwest whitfield sorry northwest whitfield gets the win late score 24-20 here so northwest whitfield woodward academy next week and i'm probably going to go faster riley than you will write so don't worry about it we'll just keep the pace burke county big winner tonight over north side columbus by the score of 55 20. so eric parker's bunch moves on the two seed moves on and they will play cartersville cartersville 77 to 14 tonight over chastity so burke and cartersville that is your match up there in the upper left go ahead and slide it down and we'll see what's going on with heritage katusa and stevens county big win tonight for frank barton stevens county stevens county wins it 46-3 so the two-seed moves on in stevens county and they will get married persons marry persons winner 45-12 tonight over north clayton so you get mp in stevens county also low left cross creek and carver columbus carver columbus gets the duke so c dash c moves on in a battle of seas so carver columbus goes there chapel hill and blessed trinity blessed trinity shuts out chapel hill 33 to nothing so cc and bt are low left bring her full all right let's go up high and show what else is going on and what else that we may know west lawrence well i'll pay attention to jason respect and we'll get a final there i don't have anything on luella and west lawrence as of yet when we know we'll have an answer jefferson put 59 on pickens tonight so in dragons versus dragons the dragons win jefferson the big winner tonight and they will host the winner of louella and west laurens next week so sandy creek in overtime why is it sandy creek and marist always go to overtime sandy creek knocks off marist 23-20 in overtime so the three seed goes on and they win without any well i say without any problem it's always a tough one with sandy creek and marist so let's go back up here west lawrence with the duke jason resper a big win for them so wl and jefferson next week up high sandy creek the three seed knocks off marist in overtime but that means that chip walker has to go see steve navorsti down in cairo 43-2 the win tonight for cairo so the syrup makers and sandy creek that's your one versus four slider down to the bottom we'll see what's going on with spalding and east side spalding your winner tonight 24-17 so spalding as the three seed moves on ridgeland holds off saint pius so ridgeland saint pius comes into the playoffs at two and eight ridgeland gets the duke by the score of 21 to 14. west hall won last night over troop so we knew that one was going to happen west hall gets to travel to thompson thompson puts on a big number tonight over america's sumter 57-43 rob writings they just keep rolling the bulldogs do so west hall gets to travel to thompson and go ahead and pull her full that's your quad a bracket mark and jackie what do you think while we load aaa well i think that cartersville has been top ranked number one all season long they're going to take burke county who's had an excellent season this year but as you know cartersville has a quarterback that's out of this world they are just so dominant and trevor lawrence is only a junior and what's even worse is that they can pull him out whenever they want and they've got an even well i'm not even a better quarterback but an excellent quarterback feeling in his shoes i mean 77 points i i wonder when trevor lawrence came out because last week he came out at the half when it was 50 to nothing so his work was done he's yeah i mean and that woodward matchup looks good you know ryan glover that'd be a good little shootout to see between those two guys all right time now to go to triple a john nelson all right we're still having a bunch of partials up here so we're going to be fighting this one let's go down low left and show you what we do know franklin county sonoraville sonoraville the phoenix the three seed get the win so sonorville gets the win but they have to travel to heinzel to take on liberty county liberty county won over pike county tonight 56-10 so congrats to the phoenix

game so jenkins savannah carl demasi on the show last week told us what this meant for savannah football in general so jenkins gets the winner of union county and cedar grove and that is your look at this particular class guys okay levitt's going to play crisp county criss county is the only undefeated team in aaa so that's going to be a pretty interesting one but how about gac they're going to take on worth county and of course gac has one of your quarterbacks i know there's literally so many quarterbacks to choose from and you know davis mills uh committed to stanford and you know i asked him about that and he said it's just honestly an all-around great school great opportunity for me to actually be able to play football and you know he suffered that injury but now he's back and he's
