[Music] that's a championship team right there welcome to blue devils stadium in norcross for another football friday in georgia tonight [Music] it's the 7a state playoff second round as the 7th ranked lounge vikings meet the fourth-ranked norcross blue devils a look at the bracket it will show you that lowndes a 92-61 winner over hill grove in the first round norcross a 24-10 winner over milton in the first round winner tonight's ball game advances to the quarterfinals to take on either south winnette or wesley and what a second round match-up we have between these two perennial state powers lowndes with five state championships most recently in 2007 the norcross blue devils with two state titles winning back to back in 2012 and 2013 in fact that's the only time that norcross and lounge have ever met in the 2013 quarterfinals the blue devils posting a 28-7 win in route to their state title [Music] and good evening i'm matt stewart joined by larry smith and larry this matchup between lowndes and norcross tonight again poses the ageless timeless football question what's better the great offense or the great defense and you will ask that question yet again you're right how about this lounge offense averaging almost 47 points per game they scored more than 90 last week in the win over hill grove but a tough defense in norcross only about 11 points allowed this would be a really good matchup for these two lounges led by michael barrett a year ago he was a sophomore starting linebacker this year he's the starting quarterback for the highest scoring team in 7a and one of the most dynamic players i've seen all season i think that was a good switch to put in a quarterback what do you think 40 total touchdowns 18 on the ground 22 through the air he'll get you one way or the other he is a dynamic player fun to watch tonight offensively norcross can score with the best of them but the real story this year has been their defense led by their linebacker monty montgomery yeah we've seen them before and boy he's a special player too one of many on this team 37 quarterback sacks uh 18 turnovers forced on this vikings defense i mean this blue devils defense i should say is outstanding norcross has given up more than two touchdowns in the game just one time the entire season third member of our team john nelson is planted on the sideline thank you very much matt good evening you good evening larry good evening however you are accessing us whether it's gpbtv gpb.org or the gbb sports app now matt and larry kind of got into it a little bit when it comes to this lounge offense let's go into a little more depth they've gotten over 500 yards in a game six times this year as a team they average over 230 yards on the ground by itself if they get another 800 yards they will have set a new record for team offense in a season and this is on an offensive line that only had one guy playing his natural position coming into the 2016 season and we talked about it in the pregame show we talked about it a little bit in the open 153 points 92 of them went to lowndes and there's your box score remember the game was 56-54 in the third quarter to outscore them 36-7 to get it to a 92-61 breaking a 144-point output with douglas a m and oscilla high back in 1922. that's what you're looking at when it comes to this lounge offense and we're going to have a look at this game we're going to have a look at all the games around the state rock mart up early 7 nothing also on the board stockbridge runs back the opening kick 16 seconds in they're up seven nothing in their game as well let's kick it and show you another game that's big this week as well peachtree ridge and roswell at raymayna stadium they are three minutes in roswell on the offense that game is scoreless by the end of the evening we will have only eight teams left chasing after a championship 64 teams left after tonight matt go ahead and light a round two candle for us you betcha thank you nelly and there is randy mcpherson in his fifth season 15th season as the vikings head coach 145 wins 39 losses overall 21 seasons as the vikings head coach with 216 victories he's won three state titles with lowndes in 2004 2005 and 2007 head coach keith malouf in his 18th season he's been the head coach since 1999 146 and 58 his record 168 victories overall in his 21 seasons as a head coach leading the blue devils to state titles in 2012 and 2013 he has led the blue devils to five of their six region championships in program history the opening kickoff is brought to you by heads up georgia don't text and drive distracted drivers take lives eric paulo set to kick off for the vikings jared simkins jacoby burel and omar sinclair deep for the blue devils the blue devils not wearing any blue tonight they're wearing their black jerseys trimmed in silver [Music] and the kick is going to be taken by burel at the 10-yard line and burel up to the 21 and not much further and that's where the blue devils will start on offense and there is baron ratcliff the 6'4 220 pound senior quarterback who has completed just under 60 percent of his passes 22 touchdowns four interceptions committed to play baseball at georgia tech he is a special athlete [Music] tonight [Music] [Applause] first and ten ball at the 21-yard line that simpkins in motion behind the line pass thrown complete to robert sims sims gets dropped by the safety ty moore taimir moore after a pickup of about eight on the plays we take a look at norcross on offense justin seek the quick tackle he returned after missing last season with injury that's been a big boost for this blue devils offense this year and you see jared simpkins he's got six offers including louisville cincinnati and east carolina second down and three simpkins goes in motion again handoff goes to nicholas sermons and sermons has the first down burel threw a block out there for him actually that was sims who threw the block and that's gonna be a first down at the 41 yard line as you take a look at the vikings on defense they've moved devon holmes the nose guard he leads their defensive line with 43 plus tackles jeffrey davis is the team's leading tackler with 74.5 total tackles on the season and in the secondary fred stewart with 55 tackles three interceptions a team leading 14 passes broken up first and 10 from the 41. pass is thrown short looking for michael cole that was a pass right there raclette didn't quite uh get a hold of that [Music] so second down and 10 after the pass was thrown incomplete to michael cole [Applause] blue devils averaging 37 and a half points per game 354 total yards of offense [Applause] [Music] handoff goes to clay harris the fullback and harris across the 50-yard line and down to the 45 as clay harris picks up the first down first down [Music] tackled by tommy owens in a first and ten for the blue devils at the 45 yard line clay harris 52 carries for 261 yards on the season and five touchdowns averages five yards per carry [Applause] [Music] [Applause] radcliffe gonna run changes hands picks up the first down stepping out of bounds at the 32-yard line they have not called on radcliff to run much this year but he has that ability and you saw it right there as he picks up the first down [Music] great vision by radcliffe to see the crease in the defense and take advantage of that picked up 13 on the play first and ten he's committed to play baseball at georgia tech but he does have five football offers and schools are still looking at him as a quarterback handoff goes to omar sinclair just a couple of yards on the play for sinclair as he gets tackled by devon holmes there's holmes we mentioned him a few moments ago he's the leading tackler on that defensive line and a young man that their head or their defensive coordinator david shores says is the bell cow of their defense [Applause] second down and eight with the ball at the 30-yard line and a time-out is going to be called i believe by lounge or is this an official's timeout looks like an official's timeout so second down and eight from the 30. simkin's in motion again heavy rush going deep and tamir jones got knocked down by the cornerback brent carter and that's gonna be pass interference on lounge well i like the play call right there matt that he tried to go deep with it you know coach malou talked about they wanted to kind of mix things up a little bit and you had a good point with with radcliffe and just uh you know how he again the run again kind of setting up any time he runs the way he's really grown as a passer as we talk about last year he always wanted to kind of run the ball and he's much smarter back there nice attempt to throw it deep and try to get it uh into your receiver here's one we'll look at it right here and he had a step on him right here nice toss and the interference to be first down from the blue devils on the penalty so first and ten for the blue devils from the 15-yard line handoff goes to sermon sermons made stewart miss and tackled by tommy owens at the 10-yard line and close to a five or six yard pickup right there for nicholas sermon so an impressive opening drive larry for the blue devils yeah sure is a good mix of everything you can't focus on any one player look at the number of guys already touched the ball second to carry out ready for sermons on this drive uh good job here though by the lounge defense to spread that out keep them to a minimal game so second down and five ball at the 10 yard line for the blue devils they have driven from their 70 or they have driven from their 21-yard line so approaching a 70-yard drive right now radcliffe throws incomplete trying to connect with robert sims inside the five-yard line sends that big thank you receiver we've talked about saw him in a game earlier young developing receiver it's a big series right here a big play here for laos in this defense as we talked about giving up 61 points last week as we talked in the pre-game that secondary very shaky and certainly norcross trying to exploit it right here in the opening drive third down and four with the ball just inside the 10-yard line this is the tenth play of the drive coming up [Applause] radcliffe the second gwinnett county quarterback to commit to play georgia tech baseball this season joining mill creek's cameron turley and a timeout has been called as we check in with john nelson peachtree ridge and roswell in the second round of the state playoffs and let's kick it and show you what happened here first blood drawn by roswell willis ford four minutes gone in the game six nothing roswell missed the p-a-t so roswell up six nothing other scores around chase bryce a touchdown pass grayson up seven nothing gac a davis mills touchdown pass they're up seven nothing fitzgerald also up 14-7 in the first quarter that's the first round of kicking it and roswell on the on the march again and so you got peach street ridge and roswell roswell on the march again so roswell could go up with two big scores and petrie ridge could be in an early hole matt so let's see what goes on here let's dig it back upstairs yeah and roswell just gets the interception right there by lee anthony williams a pick six for lee anthony williams and roswell has taken a 12-nothing lead on peachtree ridge oh man that's another very good defense to look out for as we go deep into the playoffs at roswell d first third down situation here for norcross on this drive third down and four radcliffe wanted to run it he's going to take a loss back at the 17-yard line tackled in the backfield by elgin griffin yeah nice job right there watch big number 90 right here good penetration by this defensive line we talked about again needing to make a stop here in this norcross offense going right down the field that was a very big play on third down uh to force a fourth down now and try to hold norcross to only a field goal will tolbert in on that play as well and now this will be a 34-yard attempt cole hannah is three for five as long as the season is a 24 yarder this one's on its way and this one is going to be no good unable to hook it in there between the uprights cole hannah misses from 34 yards and we remain scoreless good distance on that but you're right matches couldn't quite hook it in it stayed straight on him but what a victory here in the opening minutes this visiting lounge vikings defense to hold norcross to take their best punch as you mentioned driving the field more than 70 yards and yet hold them without a score absolutely a huge victory for this vikings defense and now we get a chance to see this lounge offense the highest screen offense in all of 7a averaging 46.9 points per game they have scored less than 42 points just once in their last seven games and that was their 42-35 loss against caulkwood county michael barrett going up top on the very first play and looking for xavier jenkins so that answers your question would xavier jenkins be able to play tonight and yes he is he went deep on the very first play and here's a look at that offensive line for the vikings tucker barnes the left tackle committed to brown and what you don't see is xavier jenkins back in the starting lineup he was not enlisted on the original starting lineup but xavier jenkins the espn three star wide receiver wearing number 25 and lined up at the top of your screen michael barrett's going to run it no instead that's going to be jd lee up to the 31-yard line in a first down and jd lee just a little powerball five six one seventy junior uh what a change of pace guy right there to bring in watching here on the replays we're taking a look at this watch the line playing this big hole opens right here great job you got your tackle pulling right there great seal block right there number 54 kendrick twenty gray pound senior and a first down for the vikings first and ten from the 31 yard line zone read and it goes to jd lee again lee tackled at the 34-yard line by terry on dangerfield as we take a look at the blue devils on defense jalen pinckney the defensive end committed to vanderbilt the linebacker monty montgomery team leading 143 tackles and tyrese montgomery starting at cornerback tonight in place of espn 3 star damian williams who's committed to georgia tech williams is out with a knee injury barrett throws complete tisdale tisdale rammed out of bounds but a first down for the vikings yeah keon carter there on the tackle number 10 for norcross he's a player to watch nice play right here i like the patience here by barrett stop and see what wait for the play development a lot of young passers want to hurry to play too much he waits good speed on the outside nice pickup by lounge or out near midfield [Music] so first and ten for the vikings you see tisdale that was his 11th catch of the season he had 230 yards receiving coming in that's tyson harris on the carry on the jet sweep and harris picks up a couple of yards on the play jaylen pinckney was out there to blow it up i like what lounge is doing right now trying to get things going on the ground i haven't seen much of barry yet here in this opening drive nice sweet play right here great great defense to make that make that tackle yeah jalen pink he was able to get a hand on him and that was enough zone read barrick gonna take a loss and that's jalen pinckney again a big tackle by the vanderbilt commit to drop him for a loss he's one of these big time players on this norcross defense back to back plays there by pinkney watch him right here top of your screen number 44 comes through doesn't bite on the fake uh to the running back tisdale right there instead goes in and drops barrett for a big loss big play by this blue devils defense third down and 11 from the 45-yard line heavy rush barrett stands in there delivers downfield got a man but cannot connect jalen smith couldn't run under it and now it's gonna be fourth down well what exciting play that was in the face of the blitz i like the poise right here by barrett watch me look at all the black shirts coming at it gets good protection throws it up just a little bit long can't quite get that but norcross going after the 39th quarterback sack of the season not to wait until the next series fourth down they run a fake and tyson shaw is going to be close to the first down i think he's going to be short [Music] tyson shaw who is also their linebacker they run the fake and i think they're going to come up a yard short on a fourth and 11 fake punch that takes a lot of guts right there that sure does what a big play there by bryce calendar the senior defensive back number 22. watch this great play right here he's got the blockers but he actually kind of runs past his blockers he just kind of waited maybe one more moment turned it inside he might have where his blockers went might be able to get that last yard valiant effort like you said that's a gutsy call here early on by lounge and coach mcpherson bryce calendar came up with the big tackle for norcross on that play to keep the vikings from picking up the first 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 scalpel i have no idea what i'm doing i'm just a tv doctor i never went to college [Music] i don't do blood but now

checkup so go no and take control of your health doctor poses [Music] welcome back to norcross 5 15 to go first quarter we are scoreless norcross will pick it up once we get finished with a little business that we like to call kicking it we'll show you what's going on around the state stop is the hog pin brookwood and caulkwood tied at seven and then of course you hand the ball off and a lot of times this is what happens when cockwood has the football they score 14-7 caucus leading same score fitzgerald is leading 14-7 as well one note out of single a guys mca and lincoln county are postponed another 15 minutes because of a bus breakdown so that's what happens sometimes when you get to these friday nights mca and lincoln county they still haven't started yet they're the last game on the board should have gotten the roll changed [Laughter] can't forget can't forget the little stuff well randy mcpherson's team got stopped on their fake punt and now norcross on offense from the 45-yard line first and ten [Applause] robert sims nice grab at the 43-yard line sims has really developed into a big-time wide receiver for the blue devils yeah he has coach baloof was saying you know he's so big he can just go and get a pass just throw it in the general area big ranging nice athletic watch this move right here i think you'll see a lot of passes on this drive they tried a little bit in the first series probably a lot more here nice throw right there not quite on the money doesn't matter close enough for the big six five sims to make the first down catch you know he's got a lot of mid major offers but at six six 205 pounds you got to figure somebody big time is going to get on top of this kid yep first down and 10 from the 44-yard line omar sinclair gets the handoff sinclair is going to be tackled by michael gentry after a pickup of about five on the play running a little more than i thought they would course it's early on but i thought they'd pass a lot more well you know coach malouf told us they're just going to keep running the ball they feel like if they keep running the ball they're eventually going to get there with that running game just keep wearing on it nicholas sermons and sermons going to be tackled by jeffrey davis and a first down for the blue devils well into your point and watch this here's the replay here in sermons watch the hole right there nice block to free him great job there by servants to your point i mean they're they're moving the ball i mean they they stopped late uh on that last series but really they're doing it just about really kind of whatever they want to so far here in the first quarter yeah lounge came up with one big play the quarterback sack on the third down play and then the blue devils missed a 34-yard field goal or else they would have gotten points on the board already [Music] first and ten from the 32 they run a reverse burel with a block out there burel inside the 25 inside the 15th flag is out and this one's going to come back guerrelle scores the touchdown but we have a block in the back i believe at the 15-yard line either that or a hold that but yeah either way it's going to come back you're right i like the play call though get your speedster burrell out in open space make some things happen but it's going to come back [Music] penalties have been a big issue for the blue devils this season the average 98 yards per game in penalties we were both right yeah there was a clip and a hold on and so the vikings are going to take the clip see if we can see then find it oh there it was right there there was a clip there in the uh right there by the live and then here's the hole we talked about later on the hole yeah number three that's uh bri anthony carter trying to get free and can't so you may wonder if you're at home if you don't understand that the the holding play they would have gotten some yardage and then 10 yards back from that but the clip after the light of scrimmage so it goes all the way back then and then another 10 yards behind that so that's why they picked that penalty so first and 24 now from the 47-yard line they set up the screen pass and clay harris gonna be dropped gang tackled at the 47-yard line and a flag comes out as well you have a late hit right there that lounge defense i was just going to say good aggressive tackling and they've done a really nice job of seeing on these screenplays remember a little face mask here we'll see if you find it in the replay see what happens radcliffe dropping back sets up the screen so we can see where we've got [Music] see what happens here there it is yep so that will be a 15 yard mark off against the vikings boy that's too bad too because they did a great job of defensing that play that screenplay [Applause] lounge nine and two on the season they won eight straight between their 38-13 season opening loss at valdosta and the 42-35 loss at colquitt county in their regular season finale rebounded from that loss to the packers had a week off and then beat hillgrove 92-61 in the first round of the state playoffs first and eight now that can't be right first and ten at the 31-yard line trying to connect with burel in the middle and it's going to be second down t when that ball comes out of raglan's hands it's just like a cannon isn't it off the mark on that one you talked about baron radcliffe volta's parents collegiate athletes his dad actually playing some modeling baseball and that's the path he wants to follow for now but as we talked before he's if he wants to go uh change his mind he has plenty of suitors that we would love to have him on his on their team at the next level pass is thrown incomplete for tamir jones and now it's gonna be third down that's tough just right there off his knee a little behind him so third down and ten coming up for the blue devils ball at the 32 so after that big penalty erase the touchdown run by burel the blue devils haven't been able to do anything even though they got a face mass penalty radcliffe has started two for six 21 yards a little bit off tonight yep [Music] gunning for sims who catches it at the 19-yard line robert sims already has three catches in this game yeah the biggest six-six senior watch this third down play you need something go to your sure hands man nice pitch and throw right here puts it right down there just below the numbers sims makes the catch their first down a nice third down play by norcross to keep this drive alive three catches 33 yards for sims tonight he came in with 19 catches for 342 and a team leading six touchdowns radcliffe guns for the end zone and looking for simkins incomplete about that game last week 92-61 lounge over hill grove uh producer steve graham just telling us by this time last week they're already 42 points scored in the game a little bit of a difference in the week absolutely norcross has dominated not dominated this game offensively they've held the ball most of the quarter seven first downs already for the blue devils they have yet to crack the scoreboard though second down and ten sermons comes to the near side sermons runs into tommy owens and gets stopped in his tracks at the 17-yard line and tamira moore is there too number 28 uh nice gain tackling here the lounge defense so far uh has been impressive after again giving all those points last week sermons come around your living room screen get all those red helmets just going right for the ball great play by this vikings defense down and seven they just converted on a third down and ten moments ago now facing another third and long situation as we are under two minutes to play here in the first quarter play clock down to four radcliffe fires looking again for sims this time incomplete actually not sims this time that's isaiah mccoy who was the intended target he has only four catches on the season but he's a big target two at six three 180 and it's fourth down and let's see if the blue devils try another field goal here looks like they're going to you know i'm not sure radcliffe if i've been some kind of miscommunication there you had two receivers right in the same spot two defenders as well threw the ball a little high i'm not sure that's really the way they wanted to have that play and be executed cole hannah has already missed a 34-yard attempt it was on the other side of the field now he tries another 34-yard attempt in the left hash kick is no good [Applause] that one sailed on him and so cole hannah has missed two field goals of 34 yards here in the first quarter watch this ball once again i'm not sure he got yeah make sure he got the laces turned around he just hooked it that's the hook that he needed on the left that's right exactly his last kick went straight kicking from the right hash the first time he needed to hook it kicking from the left hash he needed to kick it straight exactly so he had it backwards and therefore he's missed 234 34-yard attempts you know interesting too talking to coach malout this week matt and he was telling us that you know he really felt if one thing it's it's a strength of his team is the kicking down but it hasn't shown so far the two missed field goals so the vikings back on offense at the 20-yard line barrett throws that's complete to tyson harris and harris driven out of bounds after a pickup of about six on the play tyson harris the leading receiver on this team with xavier jenkins out that was his 37th catch of the year now watch barrett right here locks in his receiver that's the guy that he wants nice job right here this lounge off and trying to get on track after a couple of first downs in the first drive so second down now from the 26 and a half under a minute to play in the quarter second down and three michael barrett has thrown for 2307 yards on the season coming into tonight 22 touchdowns he's also rushed for over a thousand yards and he picks up the first down right there at the 31-yard line nazir tsai making the tackle for the blue devils you look at michael barrett and the poise he has for this lounge offense it's hard to believe he was a linebacker for this team a year ago he's got great poise this money he's been playing this position for a long time and he's just getting started his young career see his numbers what he's done right there more than 3 300 total yards this season and again the 40 touchdowns as we talked about in the pre-game that's 303 303.8 yards per game of total off wow in high school weighted his turn behind three-year starter austin dixon first and ten for the vikings complete to harris harris gets by a man harris down the 40 the 30 and harris finally run out of bounds inside the 25-yard line well that's the play that lounge was waiting for right there and a great job here by harris give barrett credit uh for threading the needle getting it right to him here's the replay for you watch this barrett he liked the matchup already you can see right then he liked that he had him on 101 coverage the defender was playing back gets in the hands of a speedster and let him do the rest he was so excited to get that ball he didn't look anywhere else in the direction of number four tyson harris the big play right there and lounge all of a sudden in business inside the 25 of norcross and you saw keon carter who's had just a great season for the blue devils he slipped when he came over to try to make the tackle he slipped and fell down and that opened the door for tyson harris to have the big run down to the 23-yard line and there is a man down and that is keon carpenter i'm probably keon carter who fell down on that play as we check in with john nelson yeah it happened right in front of me matt when he slipped on the plant it was his hamstring that gave and that's what he pointed to when the medical staff and our buddy harris patel came out they were looking at the hamstring from the absolute moment they came out on the field so it was a plant and a twist that affected keon's hamstring on the turn keon carter's had just a fabulous season for this team replaced kendrick grady who signed with georgia state here's one more look at it right there top of your screen number 10 right there watch him here as john was saying on the plant oh yeah his leg got twisted up underneath him too yeah when he slid yeah he's now on the sidelines he's not putting any weight on that we'll watch him and hopefully come back in the game here for norcross could be the final play of the first quarter first and ten for lowndes at the 23.

[Applause] keeper for barrett and barrett muscles his way forward to the 19 and a half where he's tackled by devin stevenson and that was the final play of the first quarter he'll spot it at the 20. so we've played 12 minutes from blue devils stadium in norcross georgia second round of the georgia 7a playoffs norcross has been down close twice missed two field goals and now the vikings are driving on norcross they'll have it at the 20-yard line when we come back to start the second quarter [Music] when you're in control of your finances i just feel like you're in control of your future

the first down tisdale touchdown [Applause] won an effort by travis tisdale in this loudoun's uh i'm sorry lounge vikings offense i'm just about to say if you're just tuning in don't adjust your tv set yes a scoreless first quarter between lounge and norcross with all the points these two offenses are known to put up a great job there the vikings get in first in a two-point conversion paul short he tried the wildcat didn't get anywhere that is just the second time all season long they have failed on a two-point conversion they had been 10 for 11 on two-point conversion tries for the season but marcus gary gets stopped short here's the 20-yard touchdown run by tisdale tcsg touchdown replay right there just a great job good speed gets to the outside use this blocker as well you take a look and look at the guys right there in front of him out in front great play and right there gets the overrun it was number 24 daryl porter who overruns it the linebacker for by the blue devils and that's number six travis tisdell that takes advantage takes the rest and takes it in for their first score lounge drawing first blood here in norcross so after getting shut out in the first quarter the vikings go five plays 80 yards takes some 97 seconds and lowndes takes a six-nothing lead and you know you talked about the norcross kicking game well lounge doesn't have a great kicking game they've only attempted two field goals the entire year but they will go for two as they tried right here in the field yeah watch number 48 gary marcus right there lines up never really got anywhere in fact he might have even i lost the ball but it that that play went nowhere fast he did fumble the ball so the short kick is going to be taken at the 20-yard line by sinclair omar sinclair with simpkins out there blocking for him trying to turn the edge and he's going to get stopped at the 30-yard line brent carter making the tackle on special teams and so norcross will have it let's see if they spot it shy of the 30 i think the 27 i think is where they're gonna put it 27-yard line for the blue devils to begin their third possession of the game i'm gonna call you eagle eye nice job [Applause] all right norcross what have you got so far they've driven the ball they've driven the ball a lot they've had two long drives that have come up empty with missed field goals so far in this game [Applause] [Music] pass thrown incomplete for simkins radcliff just had too much on that thing yeah that's about the third overthrow he's had a couple of underthrows as well he just needs to settle down just a little bit he's a really talented young man really developed this year as a passer not just a runner as you mentioned before last year when he just several passes just off today and one of its completions was one that sims had to reach out for that third down play in the first quarter so second down and 10 coming up for the blue devils norcross 11 and 0. they went 14-8 the last two seasons combined after winning those two state titles pass incomplete at the 34-yard line simpkins again the target and he's now three for 11 for 33 yards all three of his completions have been to robert sims yeah yeah he's over eight with everybody exactly gets a good call well he's just been a little off it's too high that one was too low and you made the point earlier coach malouf told us that uh you know sims was a great target for radcliffe because he didn't have to be perfect with him because he's a six six target right but he has been off the mark with everybody else third down and 10. setting up a screen pass instead they're going to crank it deep looking for simpkins simkins makes the catch inside the 35-yard line and out of bounds at the 29. actually that's tamir jones number seven not number one tamir jones with the big time catch that's the play they've been looking for right here rack left good patience just lost it up and lets his speedy receiver go underneath it and grab that tamira jones watch him here i said slow up just a little bit for it but good concentration make sure you make that catch don't get too fancy with it big play for the blue devils that's the play that norcross and coach fellow thinks is out there against the secondary because it's got to be able to find those plays and make them happy team leading 27th catch of the season for the georgia state commit first and 10 from the 28 yard line and movement on that offensive line and then [Music] some the center sam dingle was moving and so was joshua mozan now i think mozan the first guy to see the senior devin bennett grab him there by the shoulder pads just some encouragement first and 15 now from the 33.

[Applause] going for the home run streaking open and making the catch jared simkins jared simpkins with his third touchdown catch of the season baron radcliffe goes deep twice on the drive and the blue devils have tied the game well here's the secret for baron radcliffe stop at the underneath stuff just start going deep two fantastic throws right on the money that was a great play right there that you kind of had a couple of receivers in the area and simkin comes up with a big-time catch and it's the blue devils who finally get on the board here early in the second quarter no scoring in 12 minutes we've had two touchdowns in less than a minute in the second quarter exactly cole hanna on for the p-a-t 43 out of 45 this season he's perfect on that one too and norcross is taking a 7-6 lead check out the tcsg touchdown replay matt on this one watch radcliff here the nice timing on this pass he's got a couple receivers deep he's looking for right away sees throws it deep two receivers right there and you've got the defender that falls down look at this from the other angle from the other end zone radcliffe with the good arm had sims right there look at the great hands that way jared simkins make that catch one more look the iso on radcliff just a nice throw he throws a nice ball perfectly thrown touchdown and norcross takes the lead again just amazing again 12 minutes with no scoring and in 44 seconds we've had two touchdowns just like that by these two powerhouses four plays 63 yards the long touchdown catch by simkins the long catch by tamir jones set it up simpkins with six offers including louisville cincinnati and east carolina [Applause] we've got a lot of weapons on this north cross offense and you can see where the kicking game could factor in this ball game as lounge went for two and failed after their first touchdown norcross got the single p-a-t and has the lead kick will not be returned as it goes through the back of the end zone so the vikings will have the ball at the 20-yard line and now we've got a game you know it's funny one of the things coach bellew told us he said we really want to try to score quickly if we can likes his offense the balance of his offense um 35 seconds in that touchdown that was that touchdown drive that's pretty quick i think yeah that's how they've won a lot of their games this year jump out to a big lead with a quick strike offense and turn things over to their defense [Applause] barrett keeps on the zone read picks up the first down and more barrett across the 50-yard line there he goes he is pulling away michael barrett 80-yard touchdown run wow how you like me now [Applause] 41st touchdown on the season and once he had a hole you gotta look at the really great breakaway speed on this young michael barrett boy what a play i told you in our all-access pass pre-game show he is one of the most dynamic players i have seen all season you saw his skill right there and his great speed just out running everybody in the north cross secondary and you've got this secondary you've got some speedy players this is this is not just any secondary they're outstanding they're going for two again they might be doing this all night folks barrett throwing got a man oh and it's dropped [Applause] [Music] that was devon holmes the nose guard that they sent out to catch the pass on the two-point conversion and he dropped it that was a well-designed play too oh my goodness and he knows it boy he'd love to have that one back [Music] let's look here at the conversion lounge trying to make it 14-7 and wants this great fake right here nice job of hiding the ball just the way you want it's a good throw and right off his hands that that can happen when you throw the ball to the nose guard that's right here's a tcsc touchdown replay see if there is a black shirt that touches him anywhere i don't think they do no 80 yards untouched going up through the middle that's really impressive one more look at it right here good fake right there monty montgomery goes for the running back he bought the fake and michael barrett makes him take makes it pay for it 80 yards for barrett and lounge just like that goes back on top so once again no scoring for 12 minutes all of a sudden they're making up for it in a hurry both these teams yeah but they're going to be chasing points now they've missed two conversions and they got 12 instead of 14. that may come back to bottom later you're right 19 points 59 seconds now we know how they got 92 points a week ago against hillgrove simkins from the six yard line and simpkins up to the 29-yard line before being dropped right there by kadeem bergman and that's where the blue devils will go back on offense yeah i don't see a flag there and he just grabbed the back of his collar not a face mask in case you're at home you wonder do we have time radcliffe see his numbers right now five at thirteen hundred and seven yards the one touchdown but really most of those on just the two completions they're late in that drive otherwise he really had struggled up until then so first and ten ball at the 29 yard line for norcross they go back on offense and there now they're down again 12-7 [Applause] this is the it's the last thing that norcross wants to do is get into a seesaw scoreboard affair with lounge and they're going for the home run again and cole can't run under it fred stewart on the coverage michael cole couldn't run under it and it's going to be second down yeah the northwest fans booing and on the sidelines some of the coaches too they wanted a flag right there in fact look coach malouf he's going to talk to the referee right there and ask what happened i think that what they're saying is it wasn't a catchable ball he was not going to be able to catch the ball coach blue arguing his case but it's going to fall on deaf ears it'll be second down for the blue devils second down and ten ball is at the 29-yard line [Music] throws to the outside overshoots sims and it's gonna be third down and again radcliffe he is scatter shot on the short stump on the short stuff on the deep ball he's been strong yeah he's been outstanding right there a little bit of pressure right there he just hurried the ball too much strength he's a he's a big strong athletic kid i think he just gets excited about some of these plays that ball right there he threw it in the direction robert sims who six six it sailed over his head that's all that's how high that ball was radcliffe is five for 15 107 yards and a 33-yard touchdown pass to simkins in this game third down and 10 from the 29. burel in motion he'll go on through he'll throw the tunnel screen to simpkins and simkin is going to step out at the 32-yard line nowhere close to the first down and for the first time tonight norcross is gonna have to bunk yeah uh well we'll design play i like the play call right there but again i give the lounge defense some credit again they've done a nice job of spreading out on some of these uh screenplays and as north cross trying to get to the speed guys out in open space they've done a nice job of pursuing the ball and holding them that was a play right there that could have been uh a 10-yard play instead quick snap right here in the fourth out camarda's gonna punt harris has it hit in front of him gonna take it on the hop at the 24 yard line he might have stepped out of bounds no they're going to say he's out at the 29. i thought he may have stepped out of bounds when he fielded it on the up but he does pick up five yards on the return and so norcross goes on defense lounge on offense at the 29 as we go back down to john nelson all right guys time to kick it let's see what's going on elsewhere here in gwinnett county involving one of the top quarterbacks here in the country gac leading worth county 10-6 it's now 17-6 that game is now at the half other teams cruising right now mill creek is cruising carrollton is cruising grayson is cruising chase bryce nine for his first nine three of them for touchdown passes back upstairs xavier jenkins back out there you see him lined up at the end of the line there over on the near side he's their big wide receiver they're going his direction he makes the catch at the 45-yard line xavier jenkins is going to be run down at the 12-yard line you could tell he doesn't have full speed he's got that big brace on his left knee which he injured just three weeks ago but he makes a big catch and gets it down inside the 15-yard line this is just what gamers do veterans look at this makes the nice catch he said he's hampered didn't have the speed the agility he'd like to have but boy what a big play right here for the vikings and all of a sudden boy this offense is on the run what a huge play by xavier jenkins after making that catch and run he goes back over to the sideline you can tell he's not 100 but that was a 100 catch right there great effort jd lee on the carry for the vikings and he gets stopped after about a yard and a half game [Applause] so second down and nine i don't know what they did during the break but this lounge offense has found itself here in the second quarter [Applause] harris goes in motion handoff to tisdale and tisdale right up to the four yard line and that's going to be close to a first down for the vikings one more look at it going right from the end zone camera great seal block right there by the line it created this giant hole matt you and i could have run through there for some positive yards that hole was so large third down and they'll call it three baron touchdown second touchdown run of the night for michael barrett and the vikings have taken an 18-7 lead well if you're if you're scoring at home lounge is scoring a touchdown per minute here in the second quarter tcsg touchdown replay michael barrett his second rushing touchdown here in the game second in about two minutes actually for these vikings calls his own number takes it himself makes it look easy and loud all of a sudden uh taking control of this game if they can just get one of these uh conversions to look at abandon the two-pointer here man well they're gonna try the p-a-t colton broome is 49-50 on his p-80s this season and he's good on this one and it's 19-7 so michael barrett with his second rushing touchdown of the night and lowndes after being held scoreless in the first quarter has exploded for 19 here in the first three plus minutes of the second [Music] at the heart of our community are the businesses

here in the second round of the georgia 7a playoffs matt stewart larry smith john nelson the gpv team and you see lounge nine and two on the year a win tonight gives them their first 10-win season since 2010. they lost to valdosta in their opener they won eight straight before falling to caucus county on october 28th a game we televised from moultrie georgia they have not scored less than 35 points in a game since that season opening loss there in wintersville to their archrival wildcats and norcross at 11-0 open with a victory over walton they have not given up more than two touchdowns in the game since their 38-24 victory over north gwinnett and that streak ends right here in the last three minutes and 15 seconds exactly took lowndes three minutes to do it winner tonight's ball game advances to the quarterfinals to play either south gwinnett or westlake whoever wins that second round game if it's westlake then norcross would have a coin toss with them if it's lounge lounge would play at west lake [Music] kick's gonna be taken by burel at the one yard line burel down the sideline jacoby burell one man to beat and finally out of bounds at the 40-yard line close to a 60-yard return by jacoby burell who had a 79-yard touchdown return against walton in the season opener well matt as you and i talked about uh before the game here off camera both these teams with a lot of speeches and burrell we've seen him before once he gets an open field he can turn on the jets and boy i'll tell you what how about a great job right there by travis tisdale to corral him otherwise burrell was off to the races and a touchdown on the return so norcross on offense they spotted out at the 35 yard line so first and ten for the blue devils there blue devils have missed two scoring opportunities in this game missed field goals in the first quarter toss goes to sinclair omar sinclair breaks out of one tackle flag is down and sinclair's going to be tackled by the safeties more in stewart see if we can find the flag here [Music] holding the call against the blue devils you know matt while they marked it off let's see look at the replay right here the holding call see if you can find it they might have been right there number 15 right there grabbing ricky holloman jr their wide receiver i think that's where it had came in uh well they marked this off we talked about these 19 points the north cross has given up here in just a little over three minutes in this quarter put that perspective norcross if i believe we i read that graphic correctly a minute ago gave up a total of 17 points in the last four games so first and 20 ball is at the 45-yard line [Music] radcliffe going for the home run again tamir jones streaking down there intercepted by fred stewart stewart intercepts it at the goal line returns it to the 10. fred stewart with his fourth pick of the season gets the ball back for the vikings well what a great job here by the 511 junior fred stewart watch this one more time again radcliffe has been uh had his greatest success going down field but great job right here by stewart throwing up right there in the double coverage and again that ball was just off by radcliff that was one where he had his receiver tamira jones was open if the ball is thrown deeper but he under throws it that allows stewart to come under and grab it as you think of his fourth pick and boy another momentum turn in the direction of the visiting lounge vikings so first and ten [Applause] for the vikings at the 10-yard line and they have exploded here in the second quarter now norcross back on their heels defensively [Applause] [Music] they throw it out here to tisdale makes a nice grab and tisdale up to the 17-yard line tackled there by malik mays the cornerback but that's a nice pickup for the vikings on first down and was to talk about this lounge offense and how quickly they score this is already their fourth offensive series in this quarter and we're we're just four and a half minutes in second down and four ball at the 17. goes to tisdale big hole for tisdale tisdale off to the races across the 40. and he is pulling away travis tisdale another long touchdown run that's 83 yards and the vikings have a 25-7 lead unbelievable man folks if you're just joining us just walking in and sitting down this was a scoreless game at the end of the first quarter loudoun scored a touchdown on the first play the second quarter and i don't know somehow they got their juicers going just their third game they played outside of valdosta yeah all season long they're showing no no effects of being road weary at all tonight colt and broome won for the p-a-t [Applause] and the lounge vikings have a 26-7 lead folks this vikings team is scary we talked in the pre-game about what wins what wins games the big offense to the big defense tcsg touchdown replay look at the shifting is here by tisdale gets away from two tackles and then turns on the afterburners you know i love to see these two guys in a foot race quarterback michael barrett and the running back travis tisdale 83 yards there wants this move right here great blocking up front but just the vision right here by tisdale great job the strength and then the speed he's got all kinds of black shirts chasing him but tonight 83 yards tcsg touchdown replay and lounge in control of this game in a big way and in a hurry in the first five minutes during the second quarter two plays 90 yards wow travis tisdale 15th rushing touchdown actually the 16th he's got two in this quarter it's like look at that nintendo numbers almost remind you the uh the tecmo bullet and bo jackson he just kind of runs around he can't catch him guys falling falling down behind him broom going to kick off and play gets blown dead by the way that banjo here that's the lounge band on the other side of the field they are not very big but they are loud and there's a good look at him right there making the trip up from south georgia county 243 miles from lowndes high school to norcross high school and lowndes enjoying their trip right now 17 minutes into the game they've got a 26-7 lead and all 33 points that you see on the scoreboard have been scored in the second quarter wow so a penalty against the vikings will back the kick up to the 35-yard line in this quarter alone we've had an 80 and an 83-yard touchdown run by lounge and i don't think a defender touched either one of them no and they outran the second beer yeah yeah and again the play gets blown dead the vikings are trying to pooch kick the ball away from jacoby burrell who had the big 60-plus kick return the last time he touched the ball you really can't blame him on that that's what i call a timeout i think we had a timeout called and not a penalty on a kick strange john nelson what you got yeah that was a time out you got to get everything squared away you get one penalty called one time you just want to make sure that second time that everything is lined up on both sides of the ball because norcross is actually having lineup problems trying to remember that they had to go back to the 45 for this particular kick since the ball got moved back on its own let's kick it and show you the next stop on the train brought to us by our friends at georgia farm bureau north cobb on the plunge second effort gets it in this game has been back and forth in north cobb right now on the board there also on the board grayson they are cruising cartersville is cruising chase price once again nine for nine they're up 36-7 grayson is right now at the half fellowship christians leading as well and mca is leading lincoln county in single a 14-nothing eagles landing christian cruising on fpd 42-0 second quarter back upstairs so broome is going to kick off from the 35-yard line again forgot to bring a ball in from the sideline after that timeout so both teams have two timeouts remaining here in the first half what a change right now it is all quiet on the norcross side what a devastating show of offense and good defense as well the lounge of that interception there right at the goal line to set up that last touchdown and kick is going to be taken at the 17-yard line by simpkins and simpkins up to the 30-yard line and that's where the blue devils will go back on offense tackle made by jamari hill on special teams for the vikings so baron radcliffe and the norcross offense have their work cut out for him i tell you what with the way lounge scores and scores so quickly you might want to get together a running game to eat up some clock and just keep the ball out of lounge hands yeah and to keep your defense on the sideline for now let him get a breather um eventually you're gonna have to come up with some stops on the lounge offense but maybe running the ball and moving the sticks that way if you can do it might be the best way to go right here nicholas sermons picks up about five yards on the first carry of this possession [Music] so let's see if norcross kind of changes their operation here and goes on the ground going back to the air burel on the tunnel screen coming back this way and burel is gonna eventually go down at the 36-yard line shahari boone making the did a lot of running just to get back to the line of scrimmage well you know this lounge defense we've talked about again giving up all the points last week 61 points against hill grove the combined 153 points a new state playoff record but the strength of this vikings team is in their front line if there's any if there's any level their defense that's the strongest it is the front line and they're really kind of winning the battle up front right here in the first uh first half third down and five north cross to the air going for the home run tamir jones out there and broken up at the last moment by brent carter brent carter converted wide receiver to cornerback broke it up and now it's gonna be fourth down and carter's been uh a bright spot in this secondary here for lounge they wanted to fly this is just a great player to watch this but again radcliffe throws a bit under look at tamir jones has to slow down to wait for it that allows carter to catch up slaps the ball great job to slap it away that's not a penalty that's just a great defensive play by carter i don't know that i agree with that larry well no i i think you need to run the ball right there i think you're getting a little bit too anxious about being down there's still a lot of time to play i don't think you need to go chasing after the big home run all the time yeah i agree see now your defense is back on the field again harris on the return and harris steps out of bounds at the 32-yard line and now you've given the ball back to this explosive vikings offense as we send it down to john nelson okay here's a couple of things to to pay attention to on that last play the ghsa this year is experimenting with allowing face guarding so if you see hands in the air blocking the receiver this is an experimentation this year that they're allowing for a face guard on defensive place so you see the left hand goes up right in the face mask that is allowed this year when it comes to the ghsa rule so something to pay attention to down the line about face guarding on these deep plays as you're seeing them all night long here thank you nelly free safety keon carter still has not come back into the ball game so right now blue devils are playing two men down two starters down in their secondary j.d lee on the carry and lee gonna be tackled by daryl porter after picking up about four or five yards on the play and matt to be fair about this north cross defense all 25 points have been scored since carter went down with that apparent hamstring injury there late in the first quarter well carter their leading tackler in the secondary number 10 he's still on the sideline and again damien williams number eight not playing tonight with a knee injury he's a three-star cornerback committed to georgia tech under five minutes now to play here in the half [Applause] j.d lee goes in motion barrett's going to run it and barrett up to the 41-yard line tackled by monty montgomery he even called his name much nice play right there lowndes already has and i and i ask jeff slate our statistician to double check that but he swears 405 yards of total offense already for lounge tonight that's all theoretically that's almost impossible they have 400 yards of offense in the second quarter but as you said we've already had an 83 yard and an 80 yard run just still choose those two plays alone yeah for 163. you're right so yeah that's i mean in this quarter you're right a 90-yard drive an 80-yard touchdown right yeah it adds up yeah 80-yard drive to the start in the quarter and then after the interception from the seven they went 93 yards to your point so yeah that's that man that's jeff sorry we doubted you it's just hard to believe that there could be that many yards of offense already first and ten ball at the 46 barrett play action going across the middle and it is caught at the 29-yard line it's caught by marcus brownrigg the first catch of the season for the junior fullback slash tied in well this is what a great running game does for you look at all the black shirts right here waiting to run that freeze things up in the secondary and a great catch and right there by the big tight end just a nice job there to go up and get that and marcus brownrigg did a good job what a time to get your first catch of the season in the second round of the state playoffs yeah and a clutch catch on top of that first and ten at the 29-yard line norcross in a heap of trouble here going for the home run again and it's called play xavier jenkins what a grab and lowndes is pouring it on matt i don't know how he caught that ball know i don't think loud scored 30 points in a quarter last week and they may be on the way to another big game tonight tcsg touchdown replay michael barrett already two touchdowns on the ground look at the perfect throw here and xavier jenkins are reaching out right there what a great grab and great concentration on that is that ball here to work he'll get back behind around the defender he went for the ball went for the block didn't get it and lounge as you said just poured it on wow what a display right here broom with the p-a-t it is now 33-7 xavier jenkins you can see why he's an espn three-star what great extension by jenkins and what a great comeback by jenkins he had been out with a knee injury in fact you can see the big bulky brace that he's running with he has on his left knee tremendous run and catch by xavier jenkins the 6-4 200 pound wide receiver who was at one time committed to the university of georgia he's gonna make a nice player the next level what we've seen so far again hampered by that knee injury if you're norcross now i agree with you um trot is to hold on to this ball for the next 3 27 whatever you have to do run the ball um you want to get some points but boy just keep that offense off the field right now because your defense is gassed five touchdowns in less than nine minutes for the lounge vikings 41-yard touchdown catch for xavier jenkins he was a game time decision they made the right decision they did to go with him you know i think too that puts them up near 450 yards of total offense here in the first half that was a 68-yard drive right there wow they're gonna be close to 500 at halftime short kick going to be taken at the 19-yard line by simpkins simkins weaves through the defense gonna be tackled at the 41. brent carter making that tackle and we have a face mask perhaps coming up on the vikings [Music] john nelson what you got yeah bank on that face mass penalty moving an extra 15. let's kick tell you what's going on down in south georgia back and forth and you want to take another game that's got the over here you go second quarter caulkwith the touchdown pass 45-21 second quarter at the hog pin nine seconds left to go first half so conquer putting up some big numbers upper right in your seven a bracket guys replay that play that uh face masking penalty right there pretty obvious 15-yard penalty that'll give norcross some great starting field position here let's see if they can take advantage so that gives them the ball at the 44-yard line and you know and i said on the last possession i felt like they needed to run the ball but now they've fallen behind by four touchdowns they're almost in a situation where they got to abandon that that's true because you got to get stops on defense now you are in a shootout game yeah you may have lost the opportunity to run the ball here radcliffe throws complete the burel at the 37-yard line he gets driven out of bounds by tyson shaw at the 32 and that'll be a first down yeah i mean you now you're down 26 points four scores and you've shown no ability to stop lounge whatsoever no in the second quarter yeah now you're gonna have to score you're gonna have to score like they do as quick as possible and you're gonna have to come up with some turnovers if you're the norcross blue devils sims behind him again radcliffe was off and do it behind him as you said in this lounge offense they've already racked up 500 yards in a game six times this season and they've if they get the ball back here they might do it in the first half more than 500 yards it's unbelievable what this offense is doing tonight you saw radcliffe's numbers he's seven for 20. he's 60 completion for the season he is off tonight and you can see the body language he looks extremely disappointed he's going to have to overcome that if they're going to have any chance to come back again going up top for sims jump ball broken up by brent carter again another super play by brent carter that is the second time in this quarter that brent carter has broken up a potential touchdown catch oh he's been outstanding you know they talked about this lounge secondary being maybe the achilles heel of this defense not so far tonight thanks to carter look at this this is just a great play he's given up about five or six inches to sims he's in front of him makes the great play on it it's just outstanding defense third down and 10 and our kamatsu forklifts keys to the game that was one of the keys for lounge their secondary had to step up and they have so far tonight dropping eight look at that three-man rush and dropping eight [Applause] good luck finding a wide receiver open and radcliffe can't find anybody throws intercepted at the 19-yard line that's what happens when you drop eight will tolbert with the pick his second of the season [Applause] radcliff should have taken off and run right there yeah that's one where yeah should have just nothing's there nothing's there don't force it he does and you don't lock the ball up either with all those white shirts around uh this is one he'd like to have back right there one more look at it he sees he's got two white shirts lofts it up but yeah and that's one where you go to your athleticism and you want to put the ball under your arm tuck and run because the problem is 249 yeah this off it scores so fast they may score again i was getting ready say they got time to score two touchdowns they do 49.

33-7 and now the vikings back on offense barrett throws and that's complete with xavier jenkins third catch of the game for jenkins as he's tackled by malik mayes what a gutty performance by xavier jenkins he's showing me something here yeah this is a college prospect he doesn't have to come back and play but he's come back to play and he's not 100 you can tell just by the way he runs he's got three catches for 116. impressed by that young man tonight every catch matt sorry has been been impressive the effort he's i agree with you and it's been key every every catch tyson harris on the jet sweep and he's up to the 31-yard line and he's picked up the first downer close to it and now tempers flare a little bit with 205 to play in the half [Music] this is what an just showing by lowndes norcross had given up only 118 points the entire season in 11 games they've given up 33 points here in less than two quarters to this vikings offense highest scoring team in 7a that pass behind jenkins might have been deflected and i think it's the only thing that has not gone well for lounge this entire second quarter now it's second down and 10. norcross absolutely has to keep lounge from scoring here before the half yeah second down to 10. and even at that you look at that if they can stop them before getting to the they still got to come up with four stops and score four times right in the second half right i don't know how they're going to do that barrett running going to go down nice open field tackle by terion dangerfield to keep him from getting out and rolling one more look at it here great play by dangerfield finally a good push up front they broke through that offensive line there by lowndes and a good pursuit of barrett to bring him down before you get going barrett passing tonight eight of ten for 216 yards and a touchdown oh yeah and he's had two touchdown runs including an 80 yard touchdown run on top of that [Applause] third down and eight [Applause] vikings do have two timeouts remaining and the play clock runs all the way down to zero before lowndes burns a timeout i'm not sure what this feels like this is their longest drive of the second quarter they've spent wasted no time scoring the entire way lounge vikings five state championships randy mcpherson leading them to two of them in 2004-2005-2007 they've made it to the quarterfinals or better in 10 of the last 20 years winning 193 games of the last 20 years 11 region titles and after four coaches the first eight years the school was an existence football program starting in 1966 they've had only four coaches in the last 40 years and for the last 15 years that man right there in the hoodie has been there head coach he won a state title in florida before coming north to lounge where he's won three more you know something too he was telling us as we talked to him this week randy mcpherson that he and his islam's team they know maloof and norcross himaloo says their friends have met over the years in coaching camps and uh scrubbing together the past couple years yeah this is actually the fourth meeting they've had over the last five years they met first of all in the 2013 quarterfinals norcross won that game 28-7 in route to the state titles and then they've had their pre-season scrimmages against each other each of the last two years so third down in eight tisdale on the carry and tisdale gonna be short of the first down so clock continues to run lown's not in a hurry here neither is norcross it's gonna be fourth down and about two and a half or three at the 38. so a time-out called by norcross they waited a long time to call that time out if they wanted to get the ball back they let about 16 seconds burn off the clock before they use their timeout norcross blue devils two-time state champions they won it back to back in 2012 and 2013 went 15-0 in 2012 13-2 and 20-13 winning back-to-back state titles six region titles maloof has led them to all but the 1991 region title made the playoffs 11 of the last 12 years they had only five playoff appearances before 2005 and you can see the bulk of their success has come under keith malouk in the last 18 seasons great job he has done here but he's got his work cut out for him now and he said not only just stop lounge but find a way to come up with four touchdowns of your own here in the second half talk about this lounge offense follow me here they've played six playoff quarters here in the past two weeks they've scored 28 points or more in four of those quarters not in a game in a quarter 125 total points in six quarters yeah bad kick by shaw goes out of bounds let's see where they spot it this could play a big role in what norcross does here with 29 seconds left depending upon where they spot this ball out wow they're going to spot it at the 49. so i think norcross is going to take a shot or two here yeah so that worked out well for norcross the only problem i have with it was they wasted way too much time before they called their timeout yeah yeah and you know you go back and and and they'll review this obviously here at halftime but the missed opportunities in the beginning of the game across his offense both times they had the ball the first two times drove right down the field got down around the 20 and two miss not only didn't get the in the end zone missed two field goals they dominated the game offensively the first 12 minutes yeah they held the ball of the law they had the most yardage they had the most time of possession came up empty yeah did they miss their opportunity [Applause] remains to be seen radcliffe back to pass throws kobe burrell the intended target and again radcliffe off the mark well the rest of the the game is going to be tough for this young man because now just like you saw right there they're only rushing three as they've got eight men drop back and so he's got to be he's already struggled with his accuracy in this game he's got to be even more on point the final 24 minutes here if this team has a chance to come back with all those defenders uh the guys in white shirts he's got to throw around yeah well when they rush three drop eight he's gonna have to run some here to loosen up this defense make them tighten things up a little bit radcliffe gonna take a big loss back at the 34-yard line at this point i think you just got to take a knee and get to the locker room yeah just let it run out come back and regroup looks like that's what they're gonna do someone needs to give that young man a pep talk yeah shake it off top second quarter for norcross what an incredible second quarter by the lounge vikings i don't know if i've ever seen anything quite like that 33-point explosion by the vikings in the second quarter and they take a 26 point lead to the locker room and john nelson has randy mcpherson standing by on the sideline i know in the past it used to be the mayflower moving company now it's the sons of thunder you take a great deal of pride in that offensive line that second quarter they really came to they did they're playing hard right now we just got to keep working keep playing because that's a really good football team over there defensively you rush three you rush four you drop seven and eight and you're frustrating them they're playing very well you know uh i'm proud of those guys we just got to keep it up and man of very short words that's what happens even when you know you've got a 26-point lead mark and jackie he thinks he's got a lot more work to do half-time show starts right now can we call him the bill belichick of high school football i love it one word answers gotta go 92 points last week i know zero in the first quarter then 33 in the second quarter halftime is coming at

friday night the gridiron has gone digital download the free gpb sports football app from the itunes app store now [Music] so [Music] getting ready for the second half here in norcross with lowndes leading norcross by 26 at 33.7 here with coach malouf what was it like in that locker room at the break oh we're fine i mean there's no panic in our group we got things open we just needed to score those first two missed the field goals got us a little out of whack a little bit but and then defensively we're not used to playing and we haven't played well tackled lost our free safety early so that kind of hurt us on some time but we're okay i mean we're gonna fight to the end no matter what lion's got a great football team we've got a great football team baron just got a little off there in the second quarter but overall we got what we want we just need to execute i was going to say how is keon he's okay i think it's spring knee right now but when you're playing fast people spraying knees set you back a little bit thanks for your time all right thank you all right he's got some work to do climbing up a 26 point mountain guys here's a look back at the first half highlights and look at that travis tisdale nearly lost the ball got it back off of his back scored the 20-yard touchdown and then norcross only score on the touchdown pass from radcliffe to simkins yeah right there we thought we've got ourselves quite a game all this in the first minutes of the second quarter and then that vikings defense takes off michael barrett look at this 80 yards untouched and the floodgates are open matt and this is where you miss keon carter right there on the back end as barrett takes it 80 yards after barrett scored on a five yard touchdown run tisdale took it 83 yards yeah just again these both of these guys combined 163 yards and these two carries and they were cruising at this point three touchdowns in the first 315 scored in the second quarter and they weren't done yet look at the nice catch here by xavier jenkins hey that's a nice grab right there barrett two touchdown runs and a touchdown throw as part of that huge 33 point second quarter 270 rushing yards wow for lowndes in the first half almost 100 yards more than the total yards for norcross yeah and look at the time of possession lounge scoring so fast uh norcross actually had the ball longer in that first half but it's lounge with the huge advantage as colton luther mentioned those two missed opportunities on the first two drives they drove the ball right down the field did whatever they wanted to do but wound up with missed field goals in the end how big and what a different game this would be if they've gotten touchdowns there it might instead be a 33-21 game instead the blue devils have a long way to go and a big hole to dig out of here in these final 24 minutes and lounge will be receiving the second half kickoff you know you and i were talking about it uh during the halftime show you just do the math i mean not only does norcross have to score four touchdowns to catch up they've got to stop the vikings on four possessions which they have not shown an ability to do yet tonight no no they haven't and on top of that again stop them here they have not stopped them since the first quarter uh unless you take out again there at the end of the final play there final series of the second half the second quarter but to your point on offense baron ratchet the guy getting to get baron going uh and get him i think do some things the on the ground to break up that off that defense the third quarter kickoff is brought to you by heads up georgia don't text and drive distracted drivers take lives and camarda drills it that is a close to 70-yard kick off the foot of camarda so the 20-yard line for the vikings to start this third quarter michael barrett in the ball game 8-10 passing for 216 yards and a touchdown seven carries 96 yards and two touchdowns one of them was an 80 yard touchdown run he's impressive he really is look at what he's done everything has gone right for him slow start there in the first quarter we mentioned just their third game they played the entire season outside of the city of valdosta and maybe a little road jitters there in the first opening few minutes but the second quarter was as impressive as i've seen uh at any time anywhere man first and ten from the 20-yard line harris goes in motion though throwing the ball out there at the 15. harris gets by two men and harris still on his feet and harris all the way up to the 44 yard line harris should have been dropped for about a five yard loss instead it's a 24-yard pickup well let's count the black shirts you actually had a hand on him right here matt nice play right here the screen play count the guys around him okay there's one that misses there's two there's three four five six and then finally bring him down i mean half the team had it could have brought him could have could have dropped to the ground tyson harris wow his mom was a basketball and track coach there at lowndes high school barrett going up top and off the hands of jalen smith [Music] it was almost points another touchdown that's right boy how close that was one more look at it here matt barrett that's a nice throw as you said he's as impressive as we've seen boy that one back i don't know if michael barrett will be a quarterback at the next level but he's going to play some position and at a big time school yeah he is a phenomenal football player second down and 10. smith goes in motion handoff goes to jd lee and lee pulls his way across the 50-yard line down to the 49. here's how impressive this loudoun's offense has been we haven't called his number since the first quarter we all that scoring happened in the second quarter without jd lee yeah i think he touched the ball in the entire quarters the scores were so fast there weren't many plays from scrimmage for the vikings four carries 26 yards for lee in the game it's third down and four from the 50. keeper barrett not going to get there terry on dangerfield might have been the biggest tackle of the game right there for norcross absolutely fifth tackle of the night for terry on dangerfield and now the vikings have to punt really big play barrett right here just waits for his blocking but look at dangerfield comes out from the backside makes the play first or fourth down and uh all of a sudden now they have a couple of back-to-back stops there at the end of the first half and now i'm here let's see if the offense can get going tyson shaw averages 35 yards per punt this season it's gonna hit between the two receivers burel picked it up at the five yard line he should not have done that it looked like he was going to bounce into the end zone he covers the punt at the five and takes a big loss on the return big mistake by burel right here watch he should let that thing go all the way through and that adds a good speed to it [Music] yeah that's the kind you get away from [Music] well now let's see what norcross can do on offense nothing doing there in that uh first half except again the two long drives that wound up in missed field goals as you mentioned to start the game and then the touchdown pass from radcliffe there early in the opening minute of the second quarter otherwise it they've got nothing tonight first and ten from the five yard line for the blue devils let's see if the second half is better for radcliff than the first and a flag thrown on the blue devils [Music] so a false start half the distance to the goal [Music] first down and 12 is what they're calling it yep radcliffe was seven of 23 passing for 122 yards a couple of interceptions and the one touch yard touchdown pass to simkins of 33 yards so an inauspicious start to the third quarter for the norcross offense after a good start to the second half with the norcross defense so first and 12 now ball is spotted at the three i think the officials are going to make the lounge band stop playing they're right down there by the lounge band and so you see that you can see they're celebrating and trying to make as much noise as they can yeah the cheering section they picked up the slack and they're making a lot of noise over there radcliffe going to run it and they might need more of that here in the second half as radcliffe runs it out to the 14 yard line and close to the first down yeah to your point matt that i think is the first time he's actually tucked the ball and run like that this entire game but look at what was open for him if everyone's falling back and the coverage that's gonna be open for you all night long yeah and it's something that he can do but they haven't he hasn't been forced to do this season yeah but uh they're gonna need that tonight i think especially if they keep dropping eight and rushing three right [Applause] hand off sermons [Music] to your point if you can make some stops you can get back in this game uh the defense is stopped and now on back-to-back drives but now norcross has to do something the offense the blue devils have to put the points on the board here and you really are gonna have to do it you're gonna chop down this forest one tree at the time if you get intimidated by how much work you got to do how big the hill is to climb you're going to be defeated [Music] [Applause] because it is a big hole that norcross is trying to work out of here in the third quarter radcliffe picks it up quickly fires for tamir jones it was broken up again by brent carter i'll tell you what if you have a defensive mb mvp right now carter might be your choice but again a couple of guys have interceptions um that's three big uh pass defense plays he's made on in crucial situations for clowns tonight he just bobbled the snap and picked it up quickly and had to get it out of there because a heavy rush was coming off the edge from the linebacker jahari boone you know with brent carter number three their quarterback they moved him from wide receiver to cornerback in the spring because they needed those depth issues to be taken care of and david shores their d.c says it's one of the best moves they ever made nearly intercepted and now it's gonna be fourth down this is exactly what norcross did not need happen now you've got a little bit of momentum back-to-back stops of this uh potent lounge offense to end the half and then here to start the third quarter and then you can't get a drive going either and so you wind up punting here um and not even able really to move the ball enough to flip the field because lounge is going to should get pretty good field position out of this so camarda on the punt he averages just under 41 yards per punt this season gonna be taken at the 44-yard line by harris and tyson harris returns the ball to the 48 and that is where the vikings go back on offense for the second time in this half as we check in again with john nelson time to take it for the first time here in the third quarter and our stop is going to be in stockbridge stockbridge and i know that chuck smith's having a long night watching this game stockroots right now a four yard touchdown run makes it 35 to six stockridge in control pretty much from the beginning they scored 16 seconds in they've been rolling right now on clark central a lot of big numbers being put on the board by a lot of the favorites tonight we'll have them as we go here in the third and fourth back upstairs you know a pretty good season there nelly for david perno in his first year as the gladiators head coach first down and ten ball is at the 48-yard line barrett gonna fake it and throw it to marcus scary the fullback gary's got the full first down and more and gets tripped up and falls forward to the 35-yard line and a big pickup there marcus gary with just his seventh catch of the season well the scary thing now is that barrett we're going to kind of get the ball into a lot of other guys hands that's the first time that gary's touched the ball and makes big positive yardage out of it so first and ten [Applause] gary lines up as a wide receiver again and barrett gonna run it get bear hugged at the 34-yard line by nazir psy on the tackle barrett couldn't make that one happen but matt to your point he just he sees the game in a different way um i just i love his poise back there sees a hole right here great job by norcross to just get a big bear paw out there and bring him down that was actually devin stevenson who made that tackle second down and long [Applause] [Music] [Applause] tisdale takes a hit at the 30-yard line he picks up about five on that play brings up third down in about five and one more look at it here six yards dale's had a big night as well part of that big rushing game the rushing attacks almost 300 yards here tonight already third down they'll call it six tisdale six carries 144 that includes his 83 yard touchdown run tisdale stays in picks up the blitz barrett gonna run for the first down inside the 20 and barrett still on his feet and down to the eight-yard line [Music] you can see that inner linebacker coming through in his running style as he picks up the first down inside the 10. he didn't mind those big hits does he sees the breakdown right there senses that hole and takes off and runs and the great power here at the end as well almost breaks that tackle to keep going special player eight carries 119 yards there's michael barrett's dad there in the middle got a lot to be happy about tonight bobbled the snap and barrett has to get on top of it back at the 14 yard line long trip for vikings fans 243 yards from just above the florida line to come up here and watch this game tonight they've had a lot of fun watching it that's for sure the other thing that's coming into play here is that 243 miles what did i say yards yards well that's all right well well exactly they've done so many yards tonight 243 miles [Laughter] run by barrett terry on dangerfield wraps him up at the 10-yard line gonna bring up third down seventh tackle of the night unofficially for terry on dangerfield he's their leading tackler tonight we haven't heard a lot from monty montgomery um we talked with him in the pre-game matt and keon carter again still out since late in the first quarter coach saying a sprained knee we may not see him again tonight third down and goal barrett going up top and caught for the touchdown tyson harris with the 10-yard touchdown grab and it is 39-7 well to your point you were saying that two things had to happen norcross had to make stops and nor cross had to score and that's not happening right now tcsg touchdown replay michael barrett for his fourth touchdown of the night two runs his second pass of the night and again this vikings often showing why they are so potent we talked about the average about 47 points per game all season they're almost there halfway through the third quarter [Music] broome on for the p-a-t makes it 40 40-7 wow tyson harris runs under the 10-yard catch from michael barrett if you hadn't heard of michael

through the third quarter lounge rolling up 40-7 over norcross and how about an update for folks down in cordeal and show you what's going on with shelton felton one of the best names going on here's your bracket in quad and what we're going to do is focus on the upper right bracket loveit and crisp county as we kick it brought to us by our friends at georgia farm bureau and right now crisp leading a felton to dowdell touchdown pass expanded the lead for the cougars from 10-7 to 17-7 this is early fourth quarter thanks to our friends at esc network so chris county and shelton felton on the road making some impact right now chris county leading love in the upper right hand corner guys as you fill out your brackets one final in the barn in single a private for the second time in three weeks calvary day beats savannah country day 10-7 so advance rick tomberlin on the cavaliers to the next round back upstairs appreciate it nelly third quarter score westlake has a 34-7 lead on south gwinnett so if these results stand in play the vikings would play at westlake next friday night in the quarterfinals it would be lounge at westlake in the quarters next friday night [Applause] paulo with the kickoff short kick gonna be taken at the 18-yard line by simpkins simpkins retreating going the wrong way going to fall down at the 16-yard line [Music] tackle made on the special teams by jordan wright and now here's another thing that comes into play larry norcross has to score to avoid a running clock right in the fourth quarter now i don't know whether they have any chance of coming back but there's no way they're coming back if there's a running client exactly exactly so yeah so it becomes real serious and you've got to score fast because i you know they got to score at least a touchdown and keep and get under that 30-point mark before the fourth quarter right right and i don't know whether they have any shot at coming back here tonight but i can guarantee you you will not come back on a running clock yeah that's true and you're going to have to really almost score in every possession at this point [Applause] radcliffe heavy rush jeffrey davis chasing him throws on the run and incomplete was trying to get the ball to jacoby burrell across the 30-yard line and a heavy rush right there that's three-man rush yeah vikings are bringing three and pressuring radcliffe and the problem is because they're dropping eight nobody's open right right they got it covered yeah it's almost uh back to the future for radcliffe and uh step back as you said if you've got nothing open run get that five or six yards and uh force that defense to be honest [Applause] so second down and ten ball at the 19-yard line [Applause] [Music] going up top for burrell and it is caught at the 45-yard line jacob durrell with a big-time catch to get the ball to cross the 50. nice play right there again looking for a jacoby burrell i like the touch he's right this this is maybe the best touch he's thrown on a ball all night [Music] nice shot puts it right there lost it just a little bit well larry as you pointed out early he's had touch on his deep ball it's the short pass he said he's been off on right right first and ten after the 37-yard catch nicholas sermons on the carry and he picks up just a couple of yards on that play yeah rarely are you in [Music] midway through the third quarter but this is this is dangerous four down territory you you've got to score every time and uh you've got to move the ball you can't afford any mistakes at this point any more mistakes what you've already had well larry i don't know that they're going to get enough possessions to conventionally come back and win this game they might have to get some turnovers here to help them out yeah and they have not done that yet this game the defense [Music] going for sims and intercepted by moore did he catch it no no they're gonna say he was out of bounds boy that's really close ty muir moore nearly comes up with a big time pick he's taking a look at it and see if his feet drop got in here matt pump fake here moore wasn't buying it [Applause] yeah out of bounds good camberwork there by our crew third down and eight coming up there we don't have enough game balls to go around to give to all the vikings that deserve it here tonight let me tell you the secondary deserves a game ball because that was considered the tender underbelly of this lounge defense that's where norcross thought they could make some hay against the secondary and they have not been able to do that tonight third down and eight radcliffe across the middle man open and just as i say that the secondary gets burned for a long touchdown pass to jared simkins and that gets it under the 30-point mark and makes it 40 to 13. yeah well you at least come in and get that score and break that drought you haven't scored since the first minute of the second quarter to look at the tcsg touchdown replay and like we've said matt iraq has shown a nice touch with his deep ball and there's another one nice touch right there he's just a big athletic quarterback right in the hands and simpkins when he drew it up simpkins getting behind the defense as you talked about we thought the secondary be soft but that's a rare mistake that they've made here in this in this ball game the p-a-t is good and that makes it 40-14 second time tonight that baron radcliffe has been able to team up with jared simpkins for a long touchdown pass look at it right here nice patience finds simpkins right there in the scene all by himself nice play blue devils a little bit of life here maybe through the third quarter john nelson what do you got all right time to kick it guys and we'll give you your update with crisp county and love it this was 1727. it is no longer 17-7 because tyndall to beaver 13 yards breaking a couple of tackles into the end zone 9 35 and counting regulation down in cordeal it is now 17-14 for the fighting shelton feltons leading the lovett lions more in a little bit so it's now a 26 point game here with 4 38 to play in the third quarter twice tonight radcliffe has gone to simpkins for a 33-yard touchdown catch and now camardo will kick off and he will boom this one deep and out of the back of the end zone or out of the side of the end zone so the 20-yard line for the vikings and this is where the norcross defense is really going to have to step up and come up with some three and outs really because lounge is certainly capable of ball control as well and if you're the vikings you perhaps maybe start thinking that way yeah i think so uh try to burn some clock um and that that may be hard for them to do because they've scored so quickly so so many of these touchdowns so the vikings go back on offense at the 20-yard line and up 40-14 in this fourth quarter the third quarter [Applause] barrett and barrett's still on his feet picks up about eight on the play and he had a face mask there at the end they got away with uh against barrett you know this was we talked with coach malouf matt during the week as we taking a look here at michael barrett and the power uh and you know they always tell you keep your legs moving keep your legs moving and that's what barrett does look at the guys not just the power going north south but the agility like a you know a top running back to bounce side to side and make guys miss second down and two ball is at the 28 yard line [Applause] barrett again first down flag out bear it across the 40 across the 50. and barrett finally shoved out of bounds they can't get him on the ground and there is going to be a holding call is going to come back but michael barrett i love watching this kid play [Applause] i'll tell you what larry if you can't have fun watching michael barrett play quarterback then you just can't have fun watching football that's right watch number 68 here right there in the middle of your screen going in he's going to take down number 20 montgomery right there grabs him and just throws him down easy call to make right there but i agree with you michael bear as i said he's just a you know there's some guys that just they just see the game and play the game differently and and barrett's that guy mcpherson told us that he knew that barrett would be a good quarterback here in his junior season but he's even exceeded his expectations yeah credits quarterback coach jim henry doing just an outstanding job with him moving from starting linebacker last year to the quarterback of the highest scoring team in 7a going deep oh man wide open jalen smith dropped at the 25-yard line yes sir young man you've got a first down well he makes amends for that drop touchdown pass earlier this quarter that he had the ball right at his fingertips and let it slip right through that would have ended up in the end zone for six more points we'll look at this again to your point about barrett the good poise here pocket breaks down he could run instead he sees a man open he's got him back behind the defense it's a little bit under thrown but what a big play here for these lounge vikings and this offense well over 500 yards now in the night 47 yard pickup on that play jd lee on the carry and now we get that running clock back into play here because if the vikings can score a touchdown before the end of the quarter you're basically going to put a nail in the norcross coffin yeah absolutely and they may have already done that i mean you can see the score yourself but that running clock is going to be the key to any kind of a comeback attempt by nordcross and the vikings shooting for it right here tyson harris with the grab gets dropped by monty montgomery at the 15-yard line and harris wanted a taunting call against monty montgomery not gonna get it yeah just look at the scoreboard keep playing young man it's you know right scoreboard takes care of everything doesn't it that's right sure does montgomery clearly said something to him out of frustration uh after that but you know this was keith maloof's biggest concerns we talked to him he said you know we just we can't let them get going and boy they got going early second quarter and have not stopped ever since man third down and three harris gets the handoff and harris gets the first down jalen pinckney hit him but couldn't stop him and harris falls forward and picks up the first no and that's big as pinckney is about as good as they come when it comes to wrapping guys up one of the top uh defenders here in this uh blue devils unit but you know there's been and we've got a flag now i'm not sure if montgomery said something else yeah i tell you what tempers are flaring right here you got kids like montgomery who's a senior looking like the the end of his high school career is imminent as they are down by 26 points late in the third quarter and i think they're losing their cool yeah yeah we got a lot of drawing going on right now we got some peacemakers and we got some guys that are instigating [Music] [Applause] [Music] the officials are trying to regain control here coach malouf is out he's out past the [Applause] the 20 out past the numbers he's so far out in the field monty montgomery is clearly agitated about something i don't know if he's i think he's saying that he got poked in the eye i'd be upset too if i got poked in the eye but i think you could tell by the way he's signaling and you see you see he just showed one of his teammates look they poked me in the eye yeah no he's been injected now somebody's been ejected but that's for lounge yeah we'll see if john nelson can find out who's been ejected one of the lounge vikings has been ejected from the ball game and you can see mcpherson he totally disagrees with the call from our referee willie crosby and he's saying my guy was getting choked [Applause] clayson i'm trying to see if we can find this on a replay for you uh usually call a timeout here looks like and maybe talk it over as they try to sort this thing out right now a good call by the referees to try to get a hold of this thing coach believe talking to his star player get his head in in the game as well he could have had a taunting penalty one play earlier [Applause] well both coaches are trying to get a handle on what's going on here and coach mcpherson still wants to again understand exactly what's going on i'm trying to show you this right here and see what happens there's 20 number 20 right there yeah let's see what happens there's 51s right there [Music] montgomery looks like he was the guy that kind of he just hit a guy in the helmet right and hit him into in the face mask yeah i didn't see any lounge players throw any kind of a punch or a push or anything no montgomery was the one who made the contact but as best we can tell a lounge player has been ejected [Applause] still don't know who that lounge player is just yet you know number 51 palmer henderson the offensive lineman was the one kind of closest to him right there tucker barnes 55 in the area two let's see if we can see if palmer henderson was out there nelly what do you got okay let's kind of recap this and do an abridged version real quick yes monty montgomery did go to his team and to his teammates and say yeah i got poked in the eye then coach malouf called his team over and said that if there's a situation where you think you're getting pushed prodded provoked whatever back away from it because from this moment forward it's on you if there's a penalty that happens that could cost us the rest of the game so he's trying to preach patience with his guys the rest of the way i'm gonna head over to the lounge side and see if i can get that side right now but right now coach malouf is trying to preach patience with his guys and not to get pushed or provoked any further there you go we'll find out who got ejected over there and if indeed that was the call because that was the indication from the official was that a lounge player had been ejected but on our replay all that we could see was that monty montgomery uh shoved somebody yeah it was not uh palmer henderson 51 just then he was back out on the field uh as nelly was giving that report right then so he was not kicked out it was not him but i'm not sure who it was it's uh it's out of the game there's 51 right there there's henderson [Applause] and there's 56 danny corbin he was uh in the grouping as well right there so let's see what see what comes up with this well of course the ejection would have a bearing on next week it looks like lounge barring an utter collapse here is going to advance to the quarterfinals so that ejection could come into play next week for that player in the quarterfinal matchup against who it appears to be wesley [Music] well i tell you what this is one of the few things that slowed this lounge offense down is whatever this is little else has worked let's check the replay again okay top left-hand corner right there i don't know my telestrator's not working but 56 right there let's see what happens that's montgomery there in the white helmet that yeah that's montgomery who shoved again any contact that was made outside of the football game was made by monty montgomery as far as our replay shows barrett going to keep it and barrett's still on his feet my goodness look at him go down inside the 10-yard line until the eight [Applause] a couple of norcross players down let's see if they are slow to get up and there's a stop we can play an injured nor cross player there that epitomizes michael barrett he runs the ball and two defensive players get hurt yeah exactly watch this boyd just runs through there's jumping in four four five five different guys and finally it takes three guys to tackle him looks like some friendly fire injuries right there number 24 daryl porter and number 25 jalen madison collided with each other trying to make the tackle watch back here behind the play number 20. there he is right there now there he goes that's monty montgomery he's been involved in three plays there was no poke in the eye there yeah that's three consecutive plays you're right larry he had the what appeared to be a taunting that they didn't call he shoved an offensive lineman on the previous play and right there you know through you know made unnecessary contact after it appeared the play was well over palmer henderson uh listening to his coach and stepping back john okay here's the lounge perspective the the discussion was over starting tackle tucker barnes from the lounge perspective montgomery's hands were on tucker tucker pushed away and then tucker got ejected so you'll see jalen goss 61 the junior 6-7 250 filling in for 55 tucker barnes so barnes got ejected okay so uh look at jalen goss he's the big six seven 250 pound offensive lineman and future d-1 prospect you see they help daryl porter off the field as well as jaylen madison and there's jalen goss he is a good-looking kid and just a junior playing left tackle but he's going to be playing the rest of the way here tonight and nellie you'll need to check the rules is the objection for tucker barnes how much of that applies to next week's game going up top to the corner and looking for travis tisdale near the pylon and now it's gonna be fourth down and expect them to go for it here they've only tried two field goal attempts the entire year mike good look at those yards 653 yards of offense more than they had last week and when they scored 92 points yeah they are going to try a field goal here this is only the third field goal attempt of the season for the lounge vikings and if they make it it would be their first here's colton brune it is a 25-yard kick and he puts it through everything going right for the vikings tonight but that does not put him over the 30-point number so right now we don't have a running clock for the fourth quarter [Music] all right nelly what you got on the lovett game levitt game has gotten interesting down in core deal it was 17 14 17 10 and you now see where we are with this particular ball game chris county and lovett with time running out in cordeal 17 all [Music] and the bridgemen are blowing me out right now so this is an interesting way to have things go waiting for the update you've got okay you love social media sometimes your fingers are just too big and it doesn't help you so i had 17-7 with white things are going out but the game is now knotted up back and forth game down in cordeal so shelton felton and the cougars are now in a fight with lions so cougars and lions are fighting down in core deal more finals as we go in the post-game show we'll have more finals as we go and now we're going to go live and kick it and show you what's going on with crisp and the lead so crisp county now with the lead in the back and forth ball game in that upper right hand corner of that bracket so the cougars plenty of fight in them undefeated knocked off islands so it was 21-17 add six possibly add seven in a back and forth game down in cordeal high pooch kick and simkin's gonna take it at the 32 yard line he is still on his feet and simpkins up to the 47 yard line and that's where north ross will go on offense with one minute and 11 seconds left in this third quarter again the winner of this ball game will advance to play it appears to be westlake the lions have opened up a 41-7 lead on south gwinnett in their second round game and that game is now in the fourth quarter and if lowndes does win that means lown's got to come back to atlanta again next week and play at westlake next friday night in the quarterfinals i don't think they'll mind no i don't think they will ratliff again off the mark man he has just been so scatter shot tonight uncharacteristically scatter shot with his short passes that was intended for omar sinclair that was one right there again just a three-man rush i would have loved to see him just pull that ball down and run easy five six yard pickup and keep this defense honest we've only seen him tuck and run just once in this entire game the most points that norcross gave up in a game this season prior to tonight 24 in their 38-24 victory against against north gwinnett [Applause] and that was way back on september 9th sinclair on the carry tackled by jeffrey davis [Applause] well as we took down here in the final minute i said earlier i we knew we were getting the lounge offense um if there's a surprise to me it's in the lounge defense and and and what they've done the three-man rush they've got radcliffe who is a division one prospect at a quarterback and one of the top athletes in the state regardless what you play he's off his game um great coaching plan great execution by the players this defense has been really impressive tonight third down and seven radcliffe gonna run they got him by the jersey and he throws incomplete and it's gonna be fourth down a lot of credit goes to viking's defensive coordinator david shores once a member of nick saban staff at lsu in just his second season at lounge after coaching on the staff at peach county in 13 years in the state of alabama before that in fact he was actually on rush probe staff at one time at hoover high school that was a pass beyond the line of scrimmage so it's gonna be fourth down that's a loss of down penalty [Applause] so fourth down and i'm really the blue devils have no alternative but to go for here punting at this point does you know good and they got to pick up a fourth down and 11.

[Music] caught by sims for a first down that's gonna go for a touchdown robert sims matt i was just about to say you know who's number we haven't heard since the first quarter sims great play right there great job too by burrell to go in motion and take the linebacker out of the play created a one-on-one match-up later sims might open the big 6-6 target and norcross with a couple of touchdowns here in the third quarter trying to stay in this game and gets his power for lounge offense that was huge big way that means norcross is going to go to the fourth quarter with a chance yeah p-a-t by hannah 54-yard touchdown pass on the tcsg touchdown replay how about this for baron radcliff this time he is right on the money right in the gut of robert sims he does the rest nice stiff arm got the good wheels get into the end zone number 18 in your program number one in your heart that you're a blue devils fan one more look at it as a kid boy matt we've talked all season about this young man and uh what he brings robert sims 54 yards here on the catch and run for the touchdown and nora quash you go back and look again at those two fantastic drives in the first quarter that ended up with no points didn't get in the end zone they got stopped around the 20. both field goal attempts missed boy if those could have gone in it's it's a 43-27 game if they could have scored touchdowns it's a 43-35 game they have a lot of a lot of distance to make up but they're chipping away and i do like the way they're attacking this and right now they're not out of it quite yet five catches 140 yards for robert sims the senior in what could be his final high school game maybe having the best game of his career now if you're northwest onside kick here lowndes has nine people up within 15 yards of the ball they're thinking they will [Music] tomorrow a little pooch kick going to try to kick it into no man's land hits at the 27. it's picked up by tavon kyle he's trying to circle around and get some room and tavon kyle will step out of bounds at the 41-yard line that was a good plan i think by norcross and it was also nicely executed by the vikings on the return it was and taught the ball bouncing the right way that ball hit and it hit on its side not on the end and so therefore hitting on the side the fat part of the ball it bounced right up like it was a baseball like a ground ball right into his hands he was able to field it cleanly and then get some positive yards on the return everything going well right now for allowance tonight 1.6 seconds left in the third quarter [Applause] travis tisdale when the final play of the fourth quarter runs for nine yards up to the 50-yard line and the lounge vikings are 12 minutes away from advancing to the quarterfinals for the first time since the 2013 season an offensive explosion of 33 points in the second quarter has them out in front 43-21 as we head to the fourth [Music] what is by moonlight an empty field is by the

best part about playing football in texas has to be the reaction from the community i want to encourage others to play volleyball or choir because you get to experience new things and do stuff that you've never done before my reason why is passion my reason why is pride [Music] welcome back final 12 minutes here in norcross lounge leading by 22 43-21 updates as to what's going on around the state and the biggest story right now other than griffin and arabia mountain going to ot it tied at 20. let's go down to core deal in the back and fourth game a snake lovid gets the lead it was 23-21 on a 19-yard scoring pass maithan anthony blocked the p-a-t to make it only two so add six on the board for lovett they're now in front a very back and forth ball game down in cordeal they're in the fourth quarter about halfway through a lot of games going final remember when the game is over we'll have them on the post game show update your brackets as we go and caulkwood has put 66 on the board tonight and their clock is still going in the fourth quarter against brookwood back upstairs for the fourth quarter here at blue devils stadium matt and larry all right all right thank you nelly it is a final westlake has defeated south gwinnett 41-7 so winner of this ball game will play west lake next week if it's lounge they will be at westlake if norcross comes back to win this game there would be a coin toss to determine the home field advantage for that game [Applause] handoff goes to tisdale tisdale another nine yards on the play tisdale with eight carries for 162 yards tonight wow she wins do i have time to add him to my fantasy football team this week until sunday at one o'clock i guess oh nice move right here but again another missed tackle there by montgomery um and that's the thing too i think nor crosstalk look at this game the missed opportunities on both sides of the ball yep early in the ball game they should have had points in the first quarter at least two field goals if nothing else and they got nothing and on defense a lot of missed tackles seems like everyone on this uh all the skill players on this lounge it's like they went to slippery skill school or something in the summer time trying to see that fast summer school slippery school set skill sketch school yeah you know yeah they're hard to tackle oh man they've got great speed and they're shifty um and they're strong they'll run over you too especially michael barrett there you go a lot of s's in there shifty strong slippery first and five and that's tisdale and there you go good example of it right there he's they're hard to get down on first contact as tisdale picks up the first down at the 30. another cross player slow to get up right there that's terrion dangerfield he has been their leading tackler tonight unofficially seven stops on the night for terry on dangerfield who came in with 76 tackles on the season but the junior looks like he's shaken up looking at his right wrist or hand and the last 21 years in the state of georgia in the highest classification the state champion has either come from region 1 or gwinnett county the last team not from gwinnett county or region 1 to win a state title southwest dekalb led by quincy carter in 1995. got to get in the wayback machine look at that lowndes has three of those titles during that span and norcross has two of them of course caulkwood county the reigning two-time defending champion out of region one pretty amazing stat where the balance of power lies here in the highest classification in the state of georgia it's either gwinnett county or it's out of region one really impressive is the training staff attends the danger field there danger filled out we mentioned again keon carter the star safety one of the hardest hitting uh defenders in a georgia high school football he left the game in the first quarter j.d lee not going to get there this time jd lee going to be thrown for a loss [Applause] bryce bowen jackie britton talked to his parents at halftime during the rent check segment bryce bowen with the tackle for loss right there nice job there by the norcross defense to step up make that stop big play [Music] officially they're just going to rule that a stop at the line of scrimmage so second down and 10. that's a that's a rare stop for them that every every play has been for positive yards it seems for lounge tonight [Music] barrett gonna throw and he does flag out brown rig who had a touchdown catch earlier in this ball game or a big catch i should say not a touchdown catch but a big catch earlier gets his second catch of the game but there is a flag out maybe a hold against lowndes [Music] [Applause] not much has gone wrong in this game especially since the start of the second quarter for lowndes as we've talked about again two touchdowns in the first minute of that second quarter after getting both teams uh played to a scoreless draw in the first quarter larry i gotta tell you gotta love randy mcpherson man he is old school coach over there no headsets don't need headsets yeah [Music] second down and 20. barrett the keeper and wrapped up and thrown down by nazir sai third tackle tonight for the big 6-2 295 pound junior love the celebration dance right here again this is a team that came in 37 quarterback sacks as a unit if the man celebrate who's going to say anything that's right i'm not getting this way exactly go right ahead go right ahead third down and 22. barrett heavy rush pinkney nearly got him man breaks open caught inside the five yard line by tyson harris and that might just do it a back-breaking catch right there by tyson harris who hasn't put on a show for the vikings tonight tell you what it's a lot like you said earlier matt need a lot of game balls for this night perfect throw again for barrett he's just got a nice touch of the ball puts it out there either it's caught or it's incomplete not intercepted right on the money and their first goal with the one well that might just do it i don't know whether norcross had any chance of coming back in this game but a score right here by the vikings should just about close it out 41-yard pass play down to the one and barrett runs it in for his third touchdown of the night how about michael barrett five total touchdowns that's now 45 on the season you mentioned third one on the ground two touchdown passes as well [Music] loud's about to put 50 up in this north cross defense that as we to go back to the beginning he just joined us this blue devils defense giving up only 10.7 points per game only 118 points total in 11 games and 49 and a waiting point number 50 here tonight and to remember on lounge first two touchdowns they failed in two-point conversions so yeah it could have had 54 points right now if they make this don't remind them the blue devils this is it's been bad enough for them that's right but what a night for the vikings 50-21 one-yard touchdown run for michael barrett wow doesn't have any offers yet no stars yet no official ranking yet that's going to change sometime in the near future matthew mcgarry [Music] i have no idea what i'm doing i'm just a tv doctor i never went to college [Music] i don't do blood but now thanks to cigna i can do more than just look the part is that a foot we are the tv doctors of america and we're partnering with cigna to help save lives by getting you to a real doctor for an annual checkup so go no and take control of your health doctor poses cigna together all the way when you're in

want to keep going back we're ready to take our next step 50 to 21 lowndes scored 33 points in the second quarter after being held scoreless in the first and they now have a 29 point lead as you take a look at the last five of playoff appearances four lounge lost to mckitchen in the first round last year didn't even make it in 2014 a rare no-show in the playoff picture in 2014 after reaching the quarters in 2013 when they lost in norcross of course blue devils went on to win the state title that year and so this should be their third quarterfinal appearance since the 2010 season john nelson all right we're going to run through some guys who put up some big numbers tonight advance grayson in your brackets 59-21 winner the starters were out for most of the fourth quarter fellowship christian wins big tonight that sets up a rematch with mount perrin in the next round woodland on a last second field goal knocks off grady so the gray knights are gone 24-21 your final also in your brackets advance hateful charter with their win over jefferson county cartersville the big one over burke county screamin county winning as well where county wins as well they hang on in their game against loganville there was also a fight in florida involving saint thomas aquinas and dwyer of palm beach gardens st thomas aquinas the eighth ranked team in the country will have video the next time around back upstairs wow thank you nelly not just football fridays in georgia football fridays in georgia and florida with john nelson so here's the kickoff from paulo it's going to be taken at the 20-yard line by burel and burel is going to be stopped at the 20-yard line so norcross goes back on offense the time left in their season appears to be nine minutes and five seconds yeah you're four touchdowns short 9 06 to go expected i think expect again for lowndes if it ain't broke don't fix it three-man rush drop back eight and make rackliff beat you radcliffe just 10 of 32 246 yards on his 10 completions because he's had touchdown passes of 33 yards to simpkins twice and a big touchdown pass of 54 yards to sims but he's also thrown two interceptions and he has been off the mark in his short game most of the night like that yeah clay harris the intended target remember radcliffe this could be the final game of his football career he does have college football offers but he has committed to play baseball at georgia tech he's a standout outfielder led the blue devils to the final four last year the state semifinals first time norcross had advanced that far since 1963. but coach malouf says programs still come in here all the time and ask him if he's sure about his baseball decision radcliffe has to get on top of that low snap in fact southern cowl in here recently checking to see how solid he was on that baseball commitment to georgia tech well tough night for him tonight but you can see why uh every division one program that uh likes a pro-style quarterback in the new age the guy who can also run good speed good athlete would want to take a look at him you can't teach that kind of size really developed as a passer this year wanted to run a lot more last year we've talked tonight let's see him a little bit more uh tonight this three-man rush but uh wish him well in this baseball career if he stays with that fumbled snap this time that's on radcliffe and he's gonna go down at the four-yard line michael gentry with the big drop for a loss quarterback sag for gentry that's the fourth a bad snap the trouble with the snap exchange that they've had on this shotgun here for norcross yeah but radcliffe should have had he should have had that one i agree fourth down punting situation for norcross and kamarta is going to have to kick out of his own end zone time ticking down hangs head heads hanging there over there on that blue devil sideline they certainly didn't expect anything like this tonight they knew that you know there's always that chance you could lose but they certainly didn't think that they'd get blown out on their home field in the second round of the state playoffs yeah not like this at all and i don't think the punt team was in was set before they snapped that ball they like to run out and very quickly snap it and they do that on fourth downs let's see what the call is here and i tell you what we haven't heard a lot of people talk about lounge and their chances to win the state championship but they're going to be 10-2 after tonight they score 47 points per game and they just put 50 on the board against a pretty salty defense if you're not taking note of lounge and their chances of winning a state title yet perhaps you might want to reconsider the team in the maroon you know what this is as impressive a two-week stretch when you can score 142 points in two playoff games and to do what you've done tonight against the defense like like we know norcross has you've got to consider them a serious contender well this is the 11th consecutive game they've scored at least 35 points in a game [Music] as you take a look at the 7a bracket you'll see that lounge will advance in all likelihood and they will play westlake the lions have already knocked off south gwinnett by a final score of 41-7 and in the semi-finals whoever wins that west lake and lowndes matchup would be playing the team in the top half and of course certainly you'd have to consider that roswell ranked number two in the state and undefeated would be the favorite in that bracket up there oh what a fun game that would be that roswell defense against this lounge offense if that does come to pass you're also looking at grayson and caulkwood county in the quarterfinals next week that's another one the two-time defending state champions against the team that's currently ranked number one in the state that's grayson jd lee right up the middle [Applause] john nelson all right time to go back into the red zone and show you what's going on down in cordeal in this back and forth game love it leading 29-23 in complete pass thanks to our friends at esc networks once again kicking it brought to us by our friends at georgia farm bureau insurance and you have that game 29-23 this has been a back and forth game third and fourth quarter so it's interesting to see what's going to be happening in the upper right-hand bracket in that particular class and crisp county once again having one of their best seasons in a long time right now in a big fight with love at fourth quarter jd lee gonna go down flags come out montgomery making the tackle monty montgomery been offered by georgia state if indeed this is the final game of his high school football career we wait to find out where he ends up playing next year holding us a call against the vikings holding call against lowndes it'll come back 10. monty montgomery 143 tackles on the season been a disappointing night for their defense [Applause] what a night for randy mcpherson in his lounge vikings again 92 points scored last week and 50 more this week all right concord county advancing 66-35 in the upper right-hand corner of the 7a bracket so caulklet and grayson next week there's going to be a coin flip probably over the phone with tommy whittle from the ghsa to figure out where those one seeds will go next week thank you nelly john or jd lee down to the 39-yard line we'll wait and find out about that coin flip to find out uh you know are they playing in grayson georgia are they playing in moultrie last year caulkwood county didn't win a coin toss they played on the road every week that they were involved in a coin toss three straight weeks they had to play in atlanta the quarters the semis and then of course the georgia dome where they won it ball fumbled by barrett he gets on top of it at the 45. and once again one of the few rare things that has gone wrong but again the ball bouncing just the right way look at that could have bounced away from barrett instead it bounced right there to his feet he's able to scoop it up and hold on to it a loss but they still retain possession third and a lot now for the vikings mckitchen is leading parkview 40 to 24. that is in the fourth quarter and mill creek has defeated cherokee 56-21 tonight so mill creek and mckeicher will meet it looks like in the quarterfinals we know mill creek is there and it looks like mckitren's going to get there too barrett loading up and going deep got a man inside the 10. flag is out tyson harris with the touchdown catch will check the flag but harris with the long touchdown catch to make it 56-21 pending the outcome of this penalty call you see the ineligible to step out of bounds possibly usually you see an official with his hat off he's thrown down the receivers run out of bounds let's see what the call is it would appear to be against lounge if that's the case oh maybe not no flag that's a touchdown all right so love it in crist county this looks like a game-winning p-a-t [Music] there it is game well game leading p-a-t right now levitt and crisp 30-29 chris in cordeal time running out late fourth quarter 30 29 obviously we'll come back to that game in a sec when we got a final score down in cordell but it looks like the cougars might be advancing because there's not a whole lot of time left on the clock down in cordial with lovett and chris county guys so harris with the touchdown catch his i'm losing track of how many i mean it's hard to keep up with how many touchdown catches these guys harris has two touchdown catches tonight and so now it's 56-21 and that's a third pass for barrett you talk about harris early began to tell the story and you got cut off his mom's a coach yeah his mom was a coach a basketball and track coach at lowndes high school back when he was just a pup in fact he was you know coach mcpherson says harris been running around the field out since he was uh one years old and mcpherson says he was on him when he was about two knew he was going to be a player when he was about two years old he's had quite a game here five catches 163 yards receiving for harris in a couple of touchdowns [Applause] and it is 57-21 wow michael barrett accountable for six fridays on gpb is made possible in part by regions bank it's time to expect more [Music] 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] more important than doing business is being in the

crafts house get great bones but it needs a lot of work all right look at that huh so join us as we breathe new life into this old [Music] house [Applause] [Music] 57-21 lounge on top of norcross uh nobody saw this one coming tonight a five-play 43-yard drive a 45-yard touchdown pass from harris to barrett right there 700. i mean norcross 367 that's a respectable number they've been doubled up by lounge 764 yards of offense ball taken at the 22-yard line by burel and burel up to the 50 47-yard line on the other side of the 50 and that's where the blue devils will go back on offense 98 of the precincts reporting tonight i think we can call our quarterfinal matchups it's going to be lounge at westlake next week north cobb at roswell although north cobb still playing but they got a three touchdown lead in the fourth quarter mill creek and mckeicher and grayson in caulkwood county that's your elite eight in 7a looks like we had a penalty called against norcross hold that's it's big too that was a nice return but you know back to that that lounge offense as we talked earlier uh seventh time this season they've racked up 500 yards or more they came in with 4 920 yards of offense you need a little more than 800 yards to set a new team record they've almost done that tonight pass thrown to sermons and nicholas sermons going to be submarine by moore at the 30-yard line a few moments ago larry we showed the graphic that showed over the last 21 years the state champion and the highest classification has come from either region one or gwinnett county so in our elite eight next week we have four teams combined from region one or gwinnett county two teams from region one still alive lowndes of course and caulkwood county and two teams from gwinnett mill creek and grayson okay so four of the eight left alive are in that region one or gwinnett county category so a good chance now 50 percent chance especially those four teams have been are playing right now or better than 50 chance yeah yeah i think that's a good chance that they all could advance next week and lock that down and keep that streak going yeah the only match-up that we have next week in the quarterfinals in 7a that doesn't involve a team from region one or gwinnett county is the north cove at roswell match okay we saw it in north korea we excuse me we saw north cobb win 35-7 against tiff county last week here on gpb nelly all right time to update things down in core deal you saw the touchdown pass with 37 seconds to go and the p-a-t that made it 30-29 so of course that means that levitt's gotta wind up and go thanks to our friends at esc networks you're throwing it into a pile and it looks like it was caught but you're stopped at the 20 and then stolen away so it looks like crisp county last play of the game right there so crisp county hangs on in cordeal to advance in a great back and forth game tonight so cris county cougars and shelton felton advance to the sweet 16 in the class in the upper right hand part of their bracket back upstairs thank you nelly [Applause] burel gonna run out of bounds at the 30-yard line or thereabouts well uh be following us on twitter and facebook and all the social media tomorrow we will announce as soon as we can where we will be televising the quarterfinals next friday night so make your thanksgiving plans it looks like the folks there and lounge need to go ahead and start booking some hotel reservations next week for atlanta they're coming back they're going to be at westlake next week camarda with the punt gonna roll dead lounge didn't bother putting anybody back it's going to roll dead at the 15-yard line and the vikings gonna go back on offense with just under four minutes to play in this one what a season for norcross it's not ending the way they had hoped 11-0 boy had some outstanding games really grew a lot you know coach was really talking about that you know the identity uh was happy with the way this team i'm very proud of the team uh very felt very good about them defensively the rev against a buzzsaw tonight from these vikings [Music] well keith malouf done a tremendous job here at norcross five region titles two state championships but uh season gonna end tonight in disappointing fashion against this lounge team coached by randy mcpherson two guys that have become pretty good friends over the years just talking to coaching conventions friends enough to schedule preseason scrimmages against each other the last couple of years yeah and disappointing finish for coach malou from the blue devils of course you never want to lose you know and lose in this fashion on your home field and he said you know he really felt he felt better about this team going into tonight that he did even their back-to-back championship teams he felt in some ways they were better the kicking game and um loved the offense multi-fastly with wave radcliffe had come on and the running game they had but this was a night tonight that as we talked about on momentum shifts and you can always say well what if this and what if that we talk about again what if they'd gotten six or 10 or 14 points off those two long drives that came up empty in the first quarter how would this game have been different at that point the rest of the way well i can tell you one thing for sure i am anxious to see who can stop this lounge offense yeah i am too i mean this team is for real 57 points tonight 92 points last week new quarterback in there now caleb burns in there for the vikings 92 points last week against hillgrove the only game out of the last eight in which they have scored less than 42 was their 42-35 loss at caulkwood county and cockwood's a team that has after a very slow start look at the way they're playing right now and they're they're ahead of schedule you know talked to coach props he was saying that you know maybe this may not be there a year next year and then years to follow he felt to be back up but i tell you what that coin toss is gonna be watched very carefully that grayson and caulkwood county coin toss because you know grayson's probably going to be considered the favorite in that game wherever the game is played but the odds tilt uh dramatically the other way i think if that game's down in moultrie and not at grayson i don't know that caulkwood county i don't know that anybody can be grayson i mean they are a college talented football team they had a personal foul there called on norcross and the mark off going in favor of lounge but i you know i just wouldn't count out this lounge team against anybody at this point because i haven't seen anybody able to stop their offense yet well we said kind of what we said about last year and conquered doing so many of their games that the way that things align as the playoffs went on their offense last year was so potent same thing who who's going to stop him turned out nobody did [Music] clock continues to run play clock at 10 so the vikings milking it down as far as they can go here [Applause] that's jalen bell getting the carry for the vikings getting run over by some frustrated blue devils [Music] lounge now going to be 10-2 on the season to be their first 10-win season since 2010. coach mcpherson said this team very similar to that 2010 team as far as talent level and uh record wise they're going to be close to that as well it got five championships to their credit won their first one back in 1980 when they defeated griffin in 1999 it was a shutout over brunswick and then the three that have come under randy mcpherson against parkview against brookwood and against north gwinnett continuing our theme of region one or gwinnett for that highest level state championship great event here by my lounge we've talked about just their third game this year they played outside the city of valdosta and they'll make it four next week at westlake this will be overall their 12th trip ever to the quarterfinals play clock at 13. so the instructions to the sideline and caleb burns is to take as much time as you can handoff goes to deontay moore that might have been the final play right there let's see if they got to snap it one more time it is fourth down i don't think the vikings are going to punt here well they're holding that play clock that ball was set up 15 seconds the play clock is going there's a difference of eight seconds i think i don't think the vikings i think the vikings might just take a penalty here and then i know they don't want to give the ball back to norcross but they also don't want to punt it either vikings going to win this one 57-21 and time-out called by randy mcpherson as they have to run one more play lounge is going to be 10-2 as they come back to atlanta [Applause] next friday night to play the west lake lions in the quarterfinals norcross season will end at 11-1 and what a performance by michael barrett tonight responsible for six touchdowns two touchdown catches for tyson harris michael barrett over 400 yards passing [Music] and 112 yards rushing so 516 yards of total offense for number one michael barrett tonight he's just as as impressive as they come man as you and i were talking about and you you said this week you know watch this kitty something special only a junior as we said played linebacker last week first year as a quarterback and setting a records and top scoring team in the state and what a consecutive weeks they've had here in the playoffs just unbelievable what they've done tyson shaw will punt it from the 41 jake jacoby burrell burel and the game has come to an end michael barrett and the lounge vikings head into the quarterfinals barrett 17 of 21 passing for 414 yards three touchdowns 15 carries for 112 yards and three touchdowns and the lounge vikings wall of norcross tonight by a final score of 57-21 well defense may win championships we may have an offense it's going to really make it tough for the teams like that this is as outstanding offensive performance as we've talked about we've ever seen not just tonight but in back-to-back weeks if you thought last week was a fluke well look at this 57 points against a very good norcross defense in which they dominated the entire game and scoring all those points in only three quarters matt so lowndes will play at westlake in the quarterfinals next friday night the gpb post game show is coming up next for larry smith i'm matt stewart happy thanksgiving to all of you we'll see you next friday night now down to john nelson on the field okay hang on just second now we're gonna do post game here with coach mack our player of the game michael barrett got dinged up so he's in the back so he will get all of his material a little later on 92 plus a lot is a lot of points in a lot of two weeks dominating performance on both sides of the ball i'm really proud of our kids our team man they played great it was just a great game great win for us does it surprise you the results that you've been getting this season at all at any point our kids been playing hard playing well you know uh uh they uh they did not surprise me so now you got to come back up here again next week westlake won okay so now that you've got that prepared how much time do you give yourself in a game like this to celebrate and then get back to work and then come back up here to atlanta well uh you know we got to get back probably get rest tomorrow you know get back to work on sunday fair enough go celebrate and go get back to work thank you all right post game show starts right now and our player of the game michael barrett will be receiving his towel and his camacho forklift player of the game trophy before they get on the bus so let's send it back over to the set because the post game show starts right now [Music] [Applause] hi again everybody and welcome to the gpb post game show for football fridays in georgia and jackie what a game i mean this game was 0-0 heading into the second quarter and then lounge took over all of a sudden it became a shootout completely and you know no surprise both those quarterbacks baron radcliffe not his greatest game but michael barrett certainly uh put on a show for us tonight how can he not be the player of the game 57 points a night and over like 800 yards of total offense right it seemed like it just started immediately it was like the once they kind of decided who was going to set the bar it just was back and forth all night long it was definitely a good game all right let's check out some highlights from earlier on in this football game as i mentioned no score going into the second quarter and then it's travis tisdale he takes the handoff and number six with the quick six he goes 20 yards to make the score six nothing blounds on top then baron radcliffe he finds jared simskins open nice pass nice touchdown and norcross has their only lead of the game at 7-6 because from that point on it was all lounge michael barrett makes it 19-7 then it's travis tisdale takes the handoff and number six is on his way for an 83-yard journey to touchdown land this would make the score 26-7 with clowns on top and a little bit later it's michael barrett to xavier jenkins great catch touchdown makes it 33-7 and lowndes goes on to win their 10th game of the year by a final score of 57-21 a dominating performance by the vikings there were a lot of plays to choose from so we're going to pick just one play of the game i know it's hard to do but as i said earlier this one has to go to michael barrett how can it not be this was his 80-yard scoring drive the first of the two back to back he just finds some serious holes there able to manipulate the defense and go untouched as he sails into the end zone there that would put lounge up 12-7 so incredible quarterback incredible offense great game for allowance tonight all right i tell you it was very uh important game for both these teams obviously coming in lounge takes charge but the quarterback for norocross he really and you know he's just because of tonight's performance i mean that shouldn't reflect on the kind of player that he really is he's an incredible athlete we've been talking about him all night long and even though he does not plan to play college football he has committed to georgia tech on a baseball scholarship so here's a story that we ran on him earlier this season radcliffe is a unique quarterback he's certainly not your traditional pocket passer at six foot four and 200 pounds he is one strong bursted power on the field when colleges see what i can do they see a whole another aspect there's a lot of pocket passes around here and i think that when they see that i can throw and run it's a whole other level that they like about me okay so he's a dual threat quarterback but he's also a dual athlete with an opportunity to play either baseball or football in college but it's baseball that's won his heart radcliffe has committed to georgia tech on a baseball scholarship which has taken some of the pressure off of him as he started the football season i made a decision with my parents a while ago deciding all right well in college i'm going to only play baseball so when i took that visit to georgia tech it was just like all right well i really love this and i really think that this is a place i can play now that i have decided that i'll only be playing baseball it's kind of like a stress relief because now i can just go out and relax and just play my game sports have always been part of the foundation in his family he's the son of two incredible athletes his mother nikki played basketball at ohio state and his father vic was drafted by the kansas city royals and it's vic who has inspired baron's baseball career well he's done both so he knows how to get to the next level in both he knows his hard work he always tells me how to get where i need to go and that hard work is always going to be how you get there i really think that him having experience in both of those is what let me be able to reach the next level this is an exciting time for someone like barron but he hasn't let the excitement distract him from his main responsibilities on the football field during his senior year the norcross blue devils have high expectations to get into the postseason and he's still their quarterback he's learned rather quickly how to balance football a soon to be baseball career and simply enjoying his senior year i know that even though i'm not going to be playing football it's my senior season so i'm going to give it everything i have so that's how i look at it balancing both is really just a matter of knowing that after this year i'm not going to have to do it anymore but i really think that this year is a year that i really need to focus on you always hate to see a season end early for a quarterback as great as baron radcliffe but when i talked to him earlier before this season started you know he just was very humble and just very excited about this season and frankly he seemed kind of relieved to just be able to have the decision about college already done to come out here just play football have that brotherhood with his teammates and have a good season and he led them to a pretty good season all right you ready for some brackets i'm ready for some brackets let's get into the nitty-gritty here in the postseason time now to send it over to the bishop of bracketology the knight of next rounds the maestro of magic of next round yeah let's
