winners at home against pebblebrook and peachtree ridge winner of tonight's ball game will advance to the semifinals to take on either west lake or lowndes roswell hornets 2015 state finalists the hornets have won 26 of their last 27 games they're only lost during that time in the state championship game a year ago they are back-to-back region champions and quarterfinal appearances for the first time in 45 years the warriors have won six straight the number two seed out of region three they are in the quarterfinals for just the third time in program history and the first since 2012 when led by the quarterback tyler queen they advanced to the state semifinals joined by big chuck smith and big chuck happy thanksgiving i appreciate it i ain't that big no more i didn't even eat that much yesterday you'll always be bigger than me all right let's start with these roswell hornets and the big question for them is their running back sheldon evans healthy he's missed the last couple of weeks with an ankle injury yeah he's been beat up but he's the catalyst that makes this offense go over 60 touchdowns over 5 000 yards in his career he's the hammer i mean they're going to need him to run the ball today and they're going to need him to be effective versus north cobb's defense defensively the hornets want to get warriors quarterback will love it off his spot they'll need a big game from justin ellis well justin ellis has to be what he always is disruptive nasty and aggressive and it's going to be really important because will love it's the catalyst today he's going to be the most important player for north cobb they got to get him off the spot but remember he's going to run the ball a lot today so it's going to be really important for ellis and the rest of defense to swarm yeah that's the interesting thing about tonight's ball game with will lovett is he's a big dude he gets going downhill he's hard to tackle well he's thicker than the snicker now he's 220 pounds he's a big boy i love him now he's big he's tough he's he's he's basically what the new era of quarterbacks to become he is a tim tebow s quarterback on the high school level and defensively for north club their two defensive ends christian albright and thurman gathers have been dynamic we'll see if the hornets can block them tonight well two of my favorites all year these guys are the real deal they get after they play hard they run to the ball and what i like most about them their technique they know how to use their hands efficiently and that's going to be important tonight use your hands strike blocks get off blocks it's going to be important for north cobb's big two to get after them they have 25 sacks between them this season and gathers has had five sacks himself in the playoffs now the third member of our team is john nelson he's on the sideline nelly thank you very much matt good evening to you good evening to dr rush and however you're accessing this this evening thanks for hanging along on black friday whether it's on gpbtv gpb.org or the gpb sports app when it comes to this time of year when it comes to teams going through a season it depends on when you make your statements sometimes teams make statements early on in the year sometimes teams make them late in the year one team made a statement early on in the year and that was the roswell hornets taking on caulkwood county the two-time defending defending champs in the biggest class here on football fridays big night for sheldon evans a big night for the offense as in game three for roswell they dominate 34-3 at home here at raymayna stadium against conqueror county then when you think about the flip side it was only two weeks ago big statement made by north cobb you see the pitch and catch there as drew tekman makes it from one end to the screen to the other dominating performance in round one as north cobb goes on to win and that's probably a contender right there for play of the year 35-7 in a game that turned early when tift didn't convert a fourth and short and missed a field goal so you have two teams with what's going on making statements early making statements late both have made it here to the quarterfinals let's kick it around the state and show you what's going on brought was by our friends at georgia farm bureau we will be here a lot tonight the hog pit grayson caulkwood county can the two-time defending champs knock off the big guys and make it to the semifinals this is quarterfinal night and only after tonight it's four in each class after tonight we go from 64 to 32 matt and hashtag dr rush how about lighting a quarter final candle as we tour around the state but we're anchored right here at rayman stadium all right thank you nelly shane queen the head coach of the north cobb warriors in his 11th season 77 and 46 17 seasons overall as a head coach with 113 victories he's got his warriors in the playoff for the eighth time in 11 seasons john ford going with the short sleeve tonight 38-11 in his fourth season as the hornet's head coach overall his ninth season here with the roswell program north cobb won the toss and deferred they will kick off and that's will horton the opening kickoff brought to you by heads up georgia don't text and drive distracted drivers take lives hornets going all black tonight with the green numbers and the opening kickoff will not be returned so the hornets will start at their 20-yard line led by their quarterback number seven malik willis the transfer from lake high school he's completed just under 62 percent of his passes this season that's 156 for 256 2151 yards 179 a game 22 touchdowns nine interceptions he's also rushed for 848 yards and on the first play of the game the answer to the question would sheldon evans play game time decision yes he will play and evans picks up three yards on the first snap it's going to be important for roswell to establish the run early we talked about that willis is going to have to use his legs also besides his arm second down and seven the double move throws it out here for jaden comma and kama's got a first down at the 47 yard line driven out of bounds by del shawn harris the safety that's a 26 yard pickup well i just talked about the importance of starting fast that's what you want to do you want to get your quarterback going get him early nice job sets his feet gets the ball out of his hands good job by willis but you want to start fast anytime you get you get your quarterback back there you want to get him involved really fast and have him making some plays 39th catch of the season for comma that's kentrell barber in motion sheldon evans with the handoff and he meets thurman gathers at the 50-yard line as we take a look at the roswell hornets on offense led by their left tackle jordan tucker decommitted from tennessee has 15 offers louisville reportedly his leader and there's sheldon evans number one he's rushed for over 5 000 yards in his career 1334 yards this season averaging 121 per game but hardly played the last two weeks only seven carries last week against peachtree ridge because of a high ankle spray evans comes to the near side not going to get by jay irwin the linebacker as we take a look at north cobb on defense we talked about albright and gathers up front 25 sacks between them chandler wooten the linebacker four star espn committed to auburn and in the secondary drew techman the corner has 17 offers including nc state and purdue second down willis throwing they set up the stream sheldon evans has no place to go and he's going to be driven out of bounds at the 48-yard line great job redirecting the defensive line of north cobb what you want to do anytime you're a defender and you play against a screen you want to what they call retrace your steps go back exactly where you started nice job by the north cobb defense but i'm going to just tell you as i'm watching the offense a little bit here um the running back sheldon looks looks a little gimpy yeah he looks a little timid he's really timid right now remember the weather also affects you know trying to get that blood going getting warmed up but he's always a lot better runner in the second half than he is in the first we'll keep an eye on that fourth down and eight and turner bark off the punt from his 39. drew techman deep will take it fumbled the ball and techman got on top of it at the 31-yard line 27 yard punt techman nearly gave it right back to roswell and now the warriors go on offense well very dangerous here by techman first and foremost all of his blockers there were five or six blockers behind him when he took that risk here but now when you're drew tekman you play defense you play offense he's the most dangerous offensive weapon out here today for this for nor for north cobb so now he has to transition but we'll love it he's the key we talked about him for our camacho forklift keys of the game we'll love it he's got to do it with his legs he's got to do with his arm let's see how they start out so first and ten from the 31-yard line cj cole runs right into the teeth of the defense sam d roberto making the tackle for roswell as we take a look for the warriors up front brandon moore the right guard at 6-2 300 pounds he is just a junior and cj cole who just got that opening handoff 1090 yards rushing this season seven touchdowns averages 6.1 yards per carry keeper for lovett and we talked about this early will love it running and when he gets going downhill chuck he's hard to bring that does a good job reading that was a inside zone play look how long he holds the ball excellent forces the linebackers to attack down on cj cole and then he takes it outside we talked about his ability to run the ball they start out plus one now with him nice big run and one of the things also coach queen talked about is the importance of the 20-yard game that was a 20-yard game 30-yard game 40-yard line the plus 20 is what i mean 20's he likes him in 20. play action love it going deep and incomplete take a look at roswell on defense kobe cumberlander up front has 18 offers six sacks on the season the linebacker justin ellis they're leading sacker at six make that eight on the season and in the secondary xavier mckinney the number nine ranked safety in the country and the anthony williams the number 20 ranked cornerback and he's committed to clemson second down and 10. cole gonna be dropped for a loss nothing doing that time that was max boyd who got to him first good job by boyd taking the dive anytime you play against an option offense that options off of anyone you got to have responsibilities responsibilities and most of the time for this roswell defense it's going to be the defensive tackles in the middle linebackers that are responsible for cj cole when north cobb runs to die third down and 12 ball at the 42. love it going down the sideline and christian singleton the intended target that was jesse bridgman the safety he was running with him step for step and now it's gonna be fourth down well good job by bridgeman they ran a wheel route north cobb on offense he ran stride for stride with him he had man-to-man coverage on that play anytime you play man-to-man you want to be close enough to smell his breath matt okay literally to smell his breath well he was they're going for it on fourth down here chuck four and fourth and twelve do you agree with this he's not gonna quit and that's a good quick kick not a good punt it turns out to be a good one though because it bounces about seven yards it will be downed inside the 17-yard line as we check in first time tonight with john nelson all right it's gonna be hot and heavy we've got a lot of places to go and a lot of scores to see so first up on the board as we chuck let's kick it there we go kick it around georgia we'll show you what's going on with here at grayson and conquer first points on the board go to the team in white and green so there you go seven points on the board for grayson and cockwood next stop on the board it's west lake and lowndes mikhail colleague a 34-yard scoop and score westlake leads that one's seven nothing eight minutes to go first quarterback upstairs sheldon evans looks a lot healthier on that carry right there as he runs it out for 17 yards to the 33. he's going to be the key it's going to be important he's going to have to get a lot of carriage today i mean i mean he's one of the top backs in the state i mean as you see here does an excellent job he's not having no problems with the ankle on that move that is a nice lateral cut great change of direction first and ten for roswell at their 34-yard line sheldon evans is going to have to get the ball at least 15 plus tonight ball thrown complete to tynell hopper the tight end that's a first down 11 on the play topper who is the number five junior tight end in the country north cobb's defense is a little off balance now you see roswell the hornets are doing a good job up tempo and doing a good mixture of run versus pass good balance right now by the roswell offense first and ten from the 45. sheldon evans again across the 50 and down to the 47-yard line chandler luton and christian singleton on that tackle you got the front three right now of north cobb albright gathers getting up field a little bit to get what's happened is roswell's doing a good job of washing the front three of north cobb around because they're jetting up field they're not they're not playing as stout right now evans four carries 27 yards they throw complete scooby ford on the catch and he gets shoved out of bounds at the 34 yard line christian scooby ford with this first touch 14 yards on the blood again run comes back with a pass a good mixture good job faking the inside zone nice job getting the ball out of the quarterback's hands good job by willis good good tempo he's setting his feet he's doing exactly what a quarterback needs to do making good safe throws nice drive for the hornets it started at their own 17-yard line hand off sheldon evans no keeper by malik willis and willa's going to be wrapped up and dropped by chandler wooten at the 33-yard line only a one-yard pickup i like what wooten does here keeps his eyes on his responsibilities to quarterback that's going to be who wooten has most of the night he's going to be responsible for willis wooten is the number 13 ranked outside linebacker in the nation by espn he's committed to auburn sheldon evans on the carry and wooten in on that tackle again along with christian albright actually i think it was all bright more than anything else yeah albright swarming to the ball inside outside they're setting everything up with the inside dive zone plays and eventually willis is going to pull it out run outside but the thing that makes it real hard and as deep to play against an offense like this they can throw two they fake the dive then they throw it's really a chess match third down and eight and a timeout has been called by roswell and we'll take it too opening six minutes at raymanis stadium roswell hornets and northcott warriors scoreless here in the state quarterfinals fridays on gpb is made possible in part by regions bank it's time to expect more georgia's electric membership corporations so much more than electricity technical college system of georgia learn more earn more cigna together all the way and viewers like you thank you at the heart of our community are the businesses that don't skip a beat george's electric membership cooperatives stand behind local commerce whether keeping farms running or shining a light on new ventures we bring business large and small to our communities creating jobs driving development supporting dreams georgia's emc's so much more than electricity roswell and north cobb scoreless here in the first quarter but the hornets driving they started this at the 17-yard line and chuck we've seen a much healthier looking sheldon evans on this drive well yeah sheldon evans looked fantastic he showed great ability to cut on that inside zone play but i'm gonna tell you malik willis is doing an excellent job right now four completions four different receivers he picked up the slack last week versus lambert and you see what he's doing now he threw for what home 300 yards and i like the way that i like how they're running inside and they're also using the outside zone but they're also throwing the ball keeping north cobb off balance but it's a big third nate what are you looking for here well i'm looking here for him to try to get out of the pocket and give him a an option to run or throw lots of time for willis that's a first down catch kentrell barber down to the 11 make that the 21 yard line 11-yard pickup well kentrell barber gets downfield runs down right down the seam i love right here malik willis sets his feet knows exactly where to go with the ball and what you're seeing right now from north cobb they're playing the zone defense they're playing cover three both of the corners were playing deep and the safeties were playing also deep one third first and ten sheldon evans no place to run that time as christian albright got him for a loss you know i expect right now roswell to start keep doing that pop pass what they're doing they're faking the inside run and coming up and giving malik willis direct passes and throw right down the seam i expect them to come back to that because they've had a lot of success second down and 13. ball is at the 24 yard line sheldon evans big hole closed up pretty quick as chandler wooten got to him nice tackle by ankle tackle he doesn't make that tackle uh sheldon he's gonna be running a little bit longer than that nice cut here it's good to see sheldon evans getting back to his old form moving good probably got a lot of good treatment this week i don't stem it's amazing how much emotion there is in this game third down willis going to keep it and willis not going to get away from chandler wooten michael dixon in on that tackle as well and now it's fourth down well nice job by the north cobb defense stout i mean someone's responsible for willis every play on the run and wooten did a good job stand where you're supposed to be they call it playing your responsibility that's something we want to watch a little bit as we talked about earlier that time they decide to run on third down they've had a lot of success passing on third downs 34-yard attempt for turner barkov 13-24 on the season with the long of 43 and his kick is going to be no good someone looks like it was tipped was it tip it was low it looked at the trajectory certainly looked like someone may have gotten a piece of that and it was low coming off of his i don't know somebody got their big paws up here i think i'm not sure if jay irwin got a piece of it or not but it was a low kick right coming across the line and so roswell does not get any points turner barkov missed two field goal attempts and two pats in their 29-12 win against peachtree ridge last week so the trouble continues there had some success running the ball will love it i'm expecting them to come back with that cj cole nothing doing that was kate gonzalez on the tackle and you know talking to coach queen this week they talked about resting will love it during the season so he'd be healthy ready to run and for them to win today he's got to carry the load yep he's got to carry it a little bit but but there's no way i really believe that he's going to just run them into the next round of the playoffs he's got to make some plays with his arm he's got to get out of the pocket the receivers are going to have to step up big also second down and 10. we already saw a 30-yard run from lovitt tonight heavy rush crossing route and nearly intercepted true techman was the target and xavier mckinney nearly came up with a bit and those are the kind of plays the receivers are going to have to make for him beautiful throw sets his feet in the pocket you get a post route by drew techman goes right to him and drifts off his back foot it was behind him a little bit but tuckman makes that catch nine out of ten times third down and ten three and a half minutes to play here in the first quarter roswell has not given up more than two touchdowns in a game all season long love it going deep intercepted lee anthony williams with the pick it's his fourth of the season and the hornets have the ball at the 42. we we talked about defense and we talked about justin ellis getting pressure on will love it gets here gets a nice hit on him the pressure from justin ellis forced will love it to have to throw the ball up and you get an interception and they get a shorter they're on the short end of the field now so now the hornets back on offense on their side of the 50. sometimes you got to take a sack you got to live to fight another down the warriors side of the 50. pardon me it's at the 44. willis all kinds of time going for the home run and contact and no flag dropped kentrell barber was the intended target that was kevin johnson the safety on the coverage well let me tell you this what you see from kevin johnson you always in coverage when you're playing man-to-man use the sideline as a the sideline as a weapon so what he did then he basically used it outside of his his outside shoulder to wash him out of bounds it's good coverage use the sideline to his advantage so second down and ten sheldon evans the handoff gathers hits him and so does wooten at the 40-yard line pick up a four on the play you see there's a lot of jaw going on and what was amazing about this is these teams haven't played in they haven't played in 17 years but they're so close together they've grown up in the parks together probably played against each other in cobb county a lot of smack talking going on third down and six play action lots of time for willis now the time runs out gathers gets him at the 41. well nice job outworking the offensive line gathers just kept working you know malik willis was drifting and drifting and drifting got a penalty here it's deep in the secondary could be a holding yeah roswell seems to think that it's against north cobb usually when it's back there it's uh holding willie crosby our referee tonight can't be interference because there wouldn't the ball wasn't in the air yet there you go wow so they got the stop on third down and now the hornets get an automatic first down with the penalty there nelly what you got all right time to kick it and we'll show you where we're going a lot of games going on in cartersville and woodward this was two nothing it's nine nothing you see 16 on the roll you know what that means back of the end zone 16 nothing cartersville rolling on woodward benedictine up 10 nothing as well in their game back upstairs first and 10 from the 30 following the mark off of the holding penalty that's ford in motion they sling it over here it's caught by jayden kama kama down inside the 15-yard line del shawn harris finally puts the brakes on him after a 17-yard pickup well again the safeties are playing off you got tekman in the safeties off with north cobb anytime you got the wide receivers out here they're swinging out these are easy throws the cornerbacks are playing off a little bit right now for north cobb nice job by willits getting the ball out of his hands quick you see comma he's committed to maryland over 22 other offers complete to read three touchdowns corey reed with the catch 13-yard touchdown pass and roswell on the board at six nothing with two minutes to play in the quarter simple throw and catch these they work on this every day at practice gets the ball out of his hands kevin willis he's got to make that tackle got to make that tackle i know it's tough one-on-one but you got to get him to the ground give yourself a chance but nice job by the offense nice job bark off one for the p-a-t as roswell has taken a six-nothing lead reid the transfer from mays high school with his third touchdown catch of the season malik willis we've talked about the quarterback at roswell getting the ball out of his hands quick throws that's where their success has come getting the ball out of his hands quick and we have a personal foul penalty on north cobb which i think is going to be marked off on the kickoff bark off with the p-a-t 7-0 roswell your tcsg touchdown replay fakes the inside zone gets the ball out of his hands quick just a short it was all that was was a five yard curl and i know it sounds simple but it's it starts right here the inside dive to evans good job stiff arm good job making a nice run by reed stiff armin great run after the catch they caught at the yak yards after the catch so i'm gonna tell you the rest of this game they're gonna keep running the same place that's the one thing about success when you look at football from norfolk standpoint you keep running it till they stop it they've had success on short passes malik willis has been getting the ball out of his hands receivers have been making plays and it's all set up by sheldon evans the running back that we talked about right just coming back you know he's the focal point so anytime that inside died keeps on to keep hammering inside hammering inside hammered inside then they fake it and throw now chuck because of the 15-yard mark off against north cobb roswell is kicking off from the warriors 45-yard line i would onside kick here or pooch kick and try to get on that thing i'm 100 behind you i mean the ball's already on the other side of the 50. i would do something here they kick it through the uprights you can do whatever you want i would definitely i would definitely try something right there but the hornets choose not to do that and so the warriors will take over at the 20-yard line and the hornets don't give up much on defense anyway no so they're saying hey we're going to keep playing defense keep doing what we're doing and until until obviously someone does something against them but let me tell you something what has to happen here for north cobb they gotta run will love it they've we've talked about that the importance of it the biggest play today was third we went 30 plus yep and what's yeah it was will love it yeah they got to keep running and also i like to see him you got to get cj cole out of the backfield running some stretch plays i expect him to come back with a little more of that well loving is committed to troy he committed to the trojans back during the summer gonna run at this time and there's no running room justin ellis in on that tackle well if you count the bodies around the ball i'm counting eight players on that time i mean inside the box that's three yards on each side of the ball i mean they're playing on the other side of the ball roswell they're stacking the line they're not respecting the wide receivers right now because they haven't had to hornets have given up only 94 total points the entire season that's less than eight per game tunnel screen techman got blown up ball out at the 20-yard line and are they going to rule that and incomplete yep i mean techman got blown up at the 18-yard line what you're seeing here i'm gonna just tell you roswell's playing man-to-man defense so you're responsible for the man no matter where he goes so they're gonna keep shadowing techman until these receivers make some plays down down field they're playing look they're man they're nose to nose covering the receivers of north cobb they're literally nose nose and that was justin ellis again wow play got destroyed by sam d roberto no running room whatsoever second tackle for loss for d roberto in the quarter did they call that a fumble roswell ends up with the ball that was a fumble they're they're switching this they're on defense the hornets have taken over at the 15-yard line they're gonna i'm telling you north cobb's offense is gonna have to figure out a way to get the eight men from out of the box roswell right now they have stacked the box they have stacked the box they're they're challenging this north cobb offense yeah kobe cumberlander ends up with the ball yep the ball was out yeah d roberto dropped him and kobe cumberlander came up with the fumble recovery so the hornets have it at the 15-yard line wow roswell's defense i mean they got eight guys around the ball they're playing man-to-man on the three wide receivers that north cobb is putting out and they're just there's nowhere to run they're gonna have to make some plays against that man defense so the five yard penalty third penalty on the warriors and it's first and five from the ten going for the touchdown guy jaden kama and the hornets have a 13 to nothing lead they faked the inside dive so many times right now they're doing a great job good job by malik willis faking the inside dive again to sheldon evans and just doing a nice job of floating one right into the left corner of the end zone here's your tcsg touchdown replay nice hands by coma going to get it at its highest point bark off gives roswell a 14-0 lead malik willis with the second touchdown pass in the last minute knows exactly where he's going finds the mismatch gets the ball to coma touchdown malik willis i like how they're coaching him he's getting the ball out of his hands he's not holding the ball long he's not back there he knows exactly where he wants to go he's not indecisive he's doing a good job but it all starts with the running game john nelson what you got time to kick it why don't we say that dr rush hashtag dr rush and let's kick it and show you what's going on this game was 14 to nothing but a big answer from the big lefty bayley hochman touchdown pass to mckitron 14-7 that's the margin there also down at the hog pin grayson up 14-0 in 7a back upstairs wow and roswell up 14 to nothing here chuck they have cashed in on two turnovers you have the lee anthony williams interception four plays 44 yards touchdown you had the fumble recovery one play later another touchdown well who was the stud last week malik willis he threw the ball i mean took the pressure from you know sheldon evans not being being there he's thrown two touchdowns today he's managed that offensive roswell well he's doing an excellent job well let's see if this north cobb offense can get anything going against this roswell defense early returns here in the first quarter is they have not been able to move this ball whatsoever right now i i'm giving a lot of credit you gotta look what roswell's doing they're saying we're gonna man up we're manning up we're gonna play man-to-man when they put their four wides out we believe we can cover those guys so let's put everybody in the box because cj cole is also the catalyst when you look at this offense when you stop cj cole it's gonna be hard for will lovett to run an outside zone play if you don't respect the dive if you don't respect the outside receivers so what has to happen here the receivers of north cobb have to make some plays downfield and that'll open up cj cj and will love it zero yards passing although that technically is a pass right there it's gonna lose yards zaire oh yeah fosobi takes a loss kade gonzalez with the tackle that's the first thing that comes to mind as i'm watching this roswell defense that was a mod strozier pardon me number 12. i mean look at him run the sideline sideline it's a it's a moving wall that right now north cobb cannot find the answer to break through that's the fourth tackle for loss for the hornets in the quarters oh they're hunting right now roswell's hunting heavy rush loving has to get out of it before he loses his head man man man listen i if and he almost lost his head four different ways four different d linemen were back there penetrating i mean he didn't have time he fell down and threw right off his back foot roswell has punched them in the face several times duck you better get out of that way you don't want to take that kind of hit got to be able to protect but here's the key the key here is the offensive line they have to protect to give will love it some time to go downfield third and 14. love it heavy rush taking a sack back at the five and the ball's out again they're going to rule it down this time justin ellis and kobe cumberlander met at the quarterback well ellis just mashes the offensive tackle oh my goodness nice rushing in the middle you got people spinning ellis is coming outside you got guys spinning and twirling and nice job right now by roswell will horton will punt from the back of his own end zone got to cover xavier mckinney stands at the 40. dangerous dangerous man back there in xavier mckinney

education programs teach students essential career skills through real-world experiences and on-the-job training those are the guys who are trying to figure out what's going on after the first quarter roswell up 14 nothing shane queen has some figuring out to do as we head to the second so let's kick it and show you what's going on with mill creek and mckeicher with this one at 14 nothing it's mill creek leading 21 to 14 now cameron turley hooking up with ace williams here it was 14-0 turned out 14-14 now it's 21-14 at cantrell stadium once again totally to williams that one is early in the second quarter down south the biggest game on the board outside of moultrie is it bazemore hider just underway 8 o'clock kick in the first stevenson and valdosta they are scoreless other stuff quickly mca leading crisp up big north side warner robins leading glenn academy 14-7 other leaders benedictine and rome liberty county gac started at 6 30. they're tied at 14 at the half let's start the second quarter at rayman stadium with matt stewart and dr rush all right thank you starting that second quarter 14 nothing you see the total yardage roswell 135 to north cobb's eight and the warriors have some serious issues as we start the second quarter because they've shown no ability to block roswell in the first 12 minutes no ability to block him and that's the fundamentals of the game about blocking and tackling right now roswell's doing both better horton will kick it kicks it away from mckinney let's see where they spot it as it sails out of bounds that was short that's going to be on the yeah they're still walking the yards wow and you never want to give such an explosive offense to short field i expect roswell to come out right now keep hitting them take a shot but i think they're going to try to run it but i think with their feel well i mean i think they're still going to try to get sheldon involved in a little bit sheldon evans but but i think ultimately malik willis eight completions six different receivers right now he's been phenomenal getting the ball out of his hands and making the right decisions i think they take a shot right here heavy rush quarterback sack and that was trey urquhart the linebacker coming off the edge and dropped willis for a loss you were right they came out and they were going to take a shot looks like here looks like they're going to run a screen north cobb did a good job of shutting that down but good defense good defense urquhart the junior with four sacks on the season second down and 17. underneath they go the reed and read across the 30 and down to the 27 16-yard pickup well good job by the offensive line of roswell north cobb rushes three you should be able to protect him if you got five protectors good job finding the open man just sitting down in the hole again malik willis making the right decisions at the right time getting the ball in this guy's hand so they can run third down and two from the 27. kelvin evans to the 25 and he's got the first down tough run by sheldon evans solid defense by north cobb evans bounces out outside gets a good block i'm going to tell you i think this game is going to end up a lot of willis throwing the ball here i think they're smell they're filling themselves and feeling like they can put this one out of reach early it's going to be what the quarterbacks are willis is committed to virginia tech that sport in motion they hand off to him on speed sweep gets by gathers and gathers still catches up with him and drops him after just a one-yard pickup that was great closing speed by thurman gathers right there nice job by gathers but uh looks a little funny exchange here with the quarterback with malik willis but nice job by north cobb as you see here running to the ball good job by gather showing some speed getting after it yeah i thought gathers was gone on the play and he still stayed with him and picked up the first down but picked up the tackle after urquhart pushed him and forced him back in screen pass dropped kentrell barber the target trying to throw a swing screen now here's now here's where malik willis has been dangerous we talked about eight completions the nine completions to six different receivers he's been really efficient on the short intermediate routes the curl routes the five to tens getting down field this is where he's really dangerous north cobb's playing the zone so he's gonna there's gonna be some open holes if he can find him third down and nine willis gonna run it first down willis touchdown he found the open hole and he took advantage of it story this game has been malik willis with his arm we talked about his ability with his legs this is designated it's the quarterback draw right here does a good job getting downhill getting downhill now this cut right here this is nice north cobb's defense is frazzled right now a lot of gaps out there a lot of holes they're not swarming like they did last week nor against two weeks ago against tiff county 21 to nothing 24-yard touchdown run for malik willis six plays 35 yards on the drive tell you this now what i'm seeing here from roswell roswell's playing at a flash type speed you've seen the the superhero flash yeah they're he's moving like flash right now north cobb they look deflated they're not moving as fast they're not they're not running to the ball that last play guys were jogging to the ball they got to keep keep giving maximum effort but roswell's going to run them out to stadiums nelly time to kick it rogers by our friends at georgia farm bureau insurance valdosta and stevenson and shocking no one valdosta on the board two quarterbacks alan rademacher doesn't care pitch and catch first seven on the board go to valdosta at baysmore hider stadium as they host stevenson stevenson trying to make it to the semifinals westlake also now leading lounge 14-nothing late second quarter of birch four-yard touchdown run westlake surprise low left well if you're if you're in north cobb right now you're on the sideline you're the offense you're thinking we have to make a play we got to hold the ball now you got to remember right now roswell's controlled the ball north cop when they receive this ball and they get out here for offense they have to control the ball and they it's imperative that they get points here and it's going to happen with the arm i don't believe they're going to be able to run today matt yeah i don't you're right i know they can't love it's going to have to do it with his arm you got four wide receivers out there somebody has to step up they have the one big 30-yard run by will lovett on the zone read they weren't expecting that now they've seen it and they made a nice adjustment they they're going they're putting man-to-man they're putting their corners right they're going nose-to-nose with the wide receivers of north cobb and said we're going to stop your run because we don't believe that you guys can beat us as receivers well they have two division one caliber corners we already seen lee anthony williams justice harris on the other side has 17 offers again as you watch it if you watch what's happening here they got eight defenders and a n in the ninth guy who is the safety coming up so when north cobb decides to play with two wides they got them they're no no they're deion sanders man yeah i mean they're daryl green they're champ bailey knows the nose we got you man-to-man we're gonna shut down your run and make you one-dimensional will love it's got to make some plays with his arm with these receivers second down and 10. open cj cole big hitter across the 45 up to the 47.
27 27-yard pickup there you go that takes some of the pressure off you start building a little confidence good job by will lovett getting back there faking it on the run this is a hard throw he slings that nice catch by cj cole getting out of the backfield getting downfield got to protect yourself cj but it dropped that shoulder now these boys ride well hunting so you got to protect yourself cj cole 15 catches on the season and the play's coming back now when you're north cobb you can't set yourself back coach queen talked about we cannot have penalties when you're on the road in a hostile environment it's one of the things you got to limit you cannot have these kind of penalties when you have your first good play with the with your quarterback's arm holding was the call against north cobb so rather than having a first down at the 47 they're way back at the seven yard line now facing second and 23. well it's dangerous right here now you're backed up to your end zone you got four wide receivers yep there it was got his hands on him for marion carter 55. they'll be careful here now out of his own end zone up top for techman who makes the grab at the 40-yard line well that's what you have when you have that one-on-one coverage you go up and make the point you got to make a play and they didn't really touch it i was a little nervous for him back there because you're going to be cautious when you're back up to the end zone nice protection by the north cobb offensive line good job by drew tekman holding on to the ball 38-yard catch for techman first and ten now at the 46. cj cole he has had no running room whatsoever that's sam d roberto again their leading tackler with 98 tackles on the season d roberto's got five tackles in this ball game and two for loss there's an opportunity right now with this man-to-man they have the linebackers are in the are playing and i mean tight on the in the box on the line of scrimmage you got the safeties coming up there's an opportunity here in this man coverage for some rub off plays and slants get drew techman slanting like he did just then the slant play run some of the dig routes you know going up and ends and there's some opportunities here because the safeties are so tight second down and 10. love it complete 50-yard line four-yard pickup on the pass play to quantity green justice harris making the tackle nice job by quantity green we just discussed where the holes are going to be in this defense slant routes that was a five yard slant expect now they will love it they work in the slants keep working the slants then what you do is you also work the slant and go that's going to eventually happen they're going to take another shot here in a minute quantity green's been bothered by shin splints all season that was his 18th catch of the year third down and five love it caught techman and stolen away at the 32 by xavier mckinney he ripped it away and mckinney took it right out of his hands that's practiced every day rip and strip rip and strip that's what coach ford talked about one of the most important part of his defense what they do well they rip and strip your coach to do that excellent job by roswell but techman you got to hold on to the ball i mean there there really is no excuse for this there's no excuse got to hold on to the ball 17-yard pickup and then the takeaway literally taken away by xavier mckinney caught tynell hopper across the 50 and down to the 46. john ford told us tynell harper hopper pardon me the junior tight end probably has the best hands on the team well these shows are here good job by willis setting back has time makes a nice throw good job by hopper getting down field nice catch first and ten at the 45-yard line willis gets away from the pressure wow willis inside the 40 and down to the 37. again nice job by willis i mean he's doing exactly what what they're letting them do but again from north cobb side i'm not seeing guys swarming to the ball this isn't the same defense i've seen and maybe roswell right now are they the superior team i don't know but they're not helping themselves by like guys are jogging go make the play good job by wood showing i mean toughness and effort and drive and if north cops will get back in this game they're going to show some of that same kind of drive second down and two going for the home run and jaden kama unable to run under it time now to kick it as we check in on clowns and westlake and look at that the lions with a 14 to nothing lead and chuck the shocker is that lowndes has not scored they've scored over 140 points in the first two rounds of the playoffs and the lions have blanked them for the first 24 minutes cam creek down there getting after it cam newton would be proud newton's alma mater a third down and two caught by barber and you will not get the first down deandre ferguson the corner stayed with it and grabbed him by the ankles and now it's gonna be fourth down in short let's see if the hornets go for it here quick little bubble screen gets it out to the receiver nice job right there on the defensive end of the ball guys trying to get to the ball this is the willis is uh he's really showing me a lot with his arm getting the ball out of his hands and um they're doing a good job it's a big play right here fourth down and two ball at the 37 they got to get to the 35. sheldon evans got it oh no maybe not the spot i thought he got it across the 35. he looks short to me is the 35 and a half and if that's the spot he didn't get it ball's going to go over on downs it looks like his knees might have hit he maybe stretched it out it was a close one though but win-won for this time for north cobb good job by your defense so a huge stop for north cobb as the ball goes over on downs now if i'm let me go into mind frame with this defense good job right here is that all bright yeah he was down that's a good call gathers gathers paint that tackle that was a big play i mean you're down 21. you've shown the ability to score you got to if if i'm right now if i'm north cobb i'm gonna keep working those slant plays i'm gonna keep because drew techman the fumble he had was a slant another slant play i would keep going attackman on those slants and those posts getting them to the middle of the field and a timeout has been called on the field five minutes to play in the half roswell with a 21-0 lead across 91 counties georgia's cotton industry employs over 15 000 people with more than 3 000 georgia farmers that bring cotton into our everyday lives when life turns up the heat and the pressure makes you sweat there's one sure way to cool down for those glory moments on and off the court cotton is with you for the win cotton the natural choice for georgia when you're in control of your finances i just feel like you're in control of your future when we were getting ready to open the business we shopped around a couple different banks but when we went to regions they treated us the best the customer service is i mean amazing our region's banker stacy has great advice for the business and our personal finances they walk in they treat you right it makes you just want to keep going back we're ready to take our next step welcome back 508 to go here before halftime ray manning stadium roswell 21 nothing let's kick it and show you what's going on with grayson and kaul quit this one was 14 nothing [ __ ] would cut it to 14-7 grayson has put another seven points on the board and that's what's going on right now at the hog pin that one's 21-7 up big right now crisp county clinch county they're up big right now benedictine is also up big as well we'll have more at the half more as we go we're kicking it around the state back upstairs to matt and dr rush all right thank you nelly roswell with a 21-0 lead on north cobb as the ball goes over on downs and the warriors take over at the 36-yard line if i'm north cobb right now i'm coming out throwing the ball i'm going to techman they're playing man-to-man their nose and nose again playing man-to-man i'm taking some shots downfield letting my playmaker techman go after the ball toss back and quantity greens gonna be dropped for a loss at the 27 yard line roswell they got some news they got some beasts on this defense i mean they're swimming to the ball man i mean they try to run a reverse here for quantity green nada nothing there's nothing there the only way right now for north cobb to get in this game and stand this game they're going to have to protect and throw the ball with will love it second down and 19 pass complete the techman and he gets walloped by d roberto at the 28 yard line all right now that was my other option detecman getting him in the mix all right let me see what i'm gonna come up with next and that's the same thing their offensive coordinators thinking right now too i mean they've had success getting down field they're gonna have to try to find it but right now roswell this defense i mean it's like they got double players out there it was like 22 guys out there nice job that's what speed does make you see doubles d roberto with six tackles on the night two of them for loss beloved fires and it is caught by jay irwin and mckinney tries to strip him again this time erwin holds on to the ball as he gets it across the 50 down to the 45 and a big 27 yard pickup well good job by irwin on this post play nice job by lovett setting his feet getting the ball out of his hands we talked about the post and the slants are going to be open in this man-to-man defense they find the hole another tackle for loss right there is lovett goes down he does get back to the line of scrimmage as cumberlander makes the stop they're hitting anything roswell i mean they hitting the running backs they're hitting the quarterbacks i mean hey i've been in games on both sides of this fence you know here but your offense they just have to be consistent they're gonna have to throw the ball throw the ball second down and ten and the play gets blown dead because i've been on the sideline when our offense was in the same situation for years matt you know different levels and it's frustrating because you know when you're playing against a defense like this it's the statement used to be keep sawing wood right keep sawing wood keep sawing wood till you break through and that's what they're doing right now i think i keep sawing wood trying to get some points and then keep fighting second down and ten set up the screen strozier with the catch and strozier is going to battle his way down to the 42-yard line picked up three on the play man roswell running to the ball i mean they run into the ball like a pack of wounds yeah i mean i i mean as you see them they're just converging on the ball carrier and again anything lateral has not been successful we talked about it will love it and this offense if they're going to be successful they might have to bring a few receivers in and that's probably what they should do try to keep hitting those slant routes playing man-to-man that's where they've had their most success and roswell they're going to keep mixing up defenses but right now they found their recipe third down and six ball at the 41. love it flag out has to slide down stone puts the tag on him but we're gonna have a holding call here against north cobb that was close to a bear hug man i wasn't holding that was he tackled he tackled number 50. titus yeah there were a few holes on there bear hugs a few different hugs it was even a spear like goldberg did the other day hey you got to get get it what you got to do is though you just got to try to keep your body in front of these pass rushers i mean they're spinning roswell's doing a lot of different stuff third down and long quarterback sack back at the 36. ellis with the second sack of the game ellis got that dog in him man he is coming off that corner again i'm i'm impressed with this d-line you got guys spinning you got guys ripping ellis just hits that corner nice burst ellis and cumberlander met at the quarterback again you got that dog in them you know that's that that's what they call a term for football players that are real real nasty and you know they got that dog in them so but what you got to do here if you're north cobb you got to shore up your protection you might have to bring it you got four wides out you might want to bring in one of the wides and help your protection you got to you got to chip you have to chip block you have to have the running back act like he's going out for a pass and hit ellis that's another way to stop a pass rusher or you have to put a tight end inside of him and try to help wide his rush lane nelson what you got how about let's uh go to the upper right hand bracket in 7a and show you what's going on remember this was 14-7 then it was 21-7 the folks in gold green and white have the football that means another seven point another six points on the board that's 27-7 right now for grayson also on the board now heading to the fourth quarter liberty county gac tied at 14 back upstairs yeah they got that deangelo gibbs and uh the boys got some ballers over there yup hey grayson horton standing at his 22-yard line the punt mckinney calls fair catch makes it at the 23 and that's where the hornets will go back on offense leading by three touchdowns well expect north cobb here to play in their base cover three they're gonna have they're gonna have eight in coverage dropping back they're gonna rush three the key is try not to let anything over your head right now eventually they're going to take a shot roswell's going to take a shot with willis just got to make sure you show up you can't go down 28. have a holding call here against roswell so that's going to back him up coach ford talking to the refs a little bit if i'm roswell i'm spreading it out i'm trying to get me seven more i'm trying to go downfield throw the ball so that's the first penalty on roswell so first and ten ball at the 13-yard line willis ball is deflected i think that comma was the intended target there and this could be second down and 10. maybe a little too much mustard on that pass from willis that that was a hard one to catch want to be smart here if you're you're on offense right now with roswell you want to be smart about giving up something cheap with north cobb and if you're north cobb you got you can't let nothing go over your head no easy touchdowns second down and ten sheldon evans on the run and evans up to the 31. nice job by sheldon evans breaking to the outside looks like that ankle's healed up man jumping over benches 27 yard pickup it's first and 10 from the 30. willis going for the home run and cannot connect with kama inside the 30-yard line nice post route by kama he has a step on him malik willis puts the ball out a little too far now that's absolutely a no-no you're playing a zone you got three guys deep you can't let nothing go over top of your head the mind frame of the secondary right now on north cobb nothing over our heads off the hands of ford at the 30-yard line christian scooby-ford the junior wide receiver who's been offered by virginia tech well third and ten one of the challenges right now that north cop the warriors have had any time they've rushed three this front three has done pretty good all brighton gathers they've competed but they haven't gotten the kind of pressure they want is getting what it's doing is giving malik willis a lot of time because north cobb is playing the zone and they're only rushing three and he keeps finding the right receivers because he has a lot of time third down and 10. they run the inside screen to barber and barber gets slammed to the ground by albright good job by albright run into the ball that's that that's what you want your defensive lineman to do run to the ball because they're really the ones that break up screens they're the first ones that read it good job redirecting his steps which he's taught to do good job by albright so a timeout called by north cobb they want to get the ball back it's fourth down and 10 and roswell in a punting situation with 111 to play roswell at 12-0 on the season the champions of region 4 back-to-back region champions for the first time since the 1970s 71 season 7-0 at home this season they've won 18 straight games at home they've won 26 of their last 27 games and roswell has outscored their opponents 263-63 in their seven home games this season well they're doing it man they're doing what you're supposed to do championship teams their foundations on defense and the explosive on offense and they feel like this is their time this class has had a lot of success but the ultimate success is winning the championship and that's what they're trying to do i'm trying to block this point here or i'm trying to set up a return i think i would try to set up a return with tekni north cobb does have two timeouts remaining booming kick from barkov techman goes back and fields it makes a fair catch at the 25 44 yard kick by turner park off to flip the field and then a flag out we may have a personal foul near midfield away from the kick about 30 yards away a couple of players were going at it who were the two i couldn't see it i was looking down here at techman i just threw i just saw the flag being thrown jay irwin was nearby i'm not going to say it was him involved but he was nearby when the flag was thrown well i thought they were going to give an interference on the on yeah there was he was too close look like there should have been something called there i was thinking that's where the yellow flag would come it was a good break they got a break that time because to me that was a penalty i'm talking about roswell got a break on the return technique looked like he was interfered with unsportsmanlike conduct and it's offsetting penalties so north cobb will take over at the 26-yard line with one minute and four seconds left in the half well you got to put your bravado to the side when it comes to making these silly plays right now you can't afford to have any players right now north cobb you're behind you got to play smart you can be tough you can be rugged and you can be aggressive and be smart that's what north cobb has to do same way with on the other side with roswell you can play do all those different things and be smart smart teams win championships first and ten ball at the 26. nothing doing it dive play cj cole no rule very stout roswell pack of roswell hornets making that play lemon titus in on that tackle and now it's gonna be second down clock continues to run north cobb does have the timeouts but being pinned so deep i don't think they're going to do anything here love it slings it across the middle and nearly intercepted by d roberto all right now you see they've countered that talking about roswell the slants that time they went into a cover two the middle linebacker was about 15 yards deep so there's a chess match going right now they're playing they're going man-to-man and that time they played zone in the cover too the middle linebacker got a lot of depth we're going to take a shot here i think eventually they just throw it downfield to techman he's got man-to-man here again third down and 10. minus five yards rushing for the warriors they set up the screenplay to cole and cole not gonna go very far as he gets dragged out on the play by mitch stone and that might have been the final play of the first half we know when you look at this first half right now roswell's done an excellent job they've dominated the first half but north cobb right now they're lucky to be down 21-0 it probably could have been worse where they are they can need to go in and regroup figure out how to get the ball downfield and try to attack from that angle and use the passing game because they're not going to be able to run themselves into the next round it's going to have to be will love its arm a dominant first half for the roswell hornets as northcott goes to the locker room down 21-0 letting both teams go out by themselves because uh get a little frisky out there yeah indeed let's go down to john nelson all right down here with the coach and i guess let's start with defense you you're getting out of fast and furious and clamping down great players great coaches playing with great effort and enthusiasm so i guess the word of the first half is great except for what maybe we got to run the ball a little better be a little more consistent on third down on offense and at the same time though i know you were pointing to your head late too you want him to play smart yeah i mean this time of year if you get if you get another on sportsman like you're out for the next game too can't have that be good thank you seven second sound bites from john ford halftime show

high school is a family affair in this week's back roads and backfield segment and we'll get the 4-1-1 from a proud parent plus we'll have all i think it's important to never forget where you're from my journey started here this was kindergarten through fifth grade i was here i was in this exact library you know for me to come back here and share that and show these kids now i'm no different you know i walk the same hallways use the same bathrooms i think if you dream big and you know this there's no barrier to what you can do at 60 miles per hour you go the length of a football field in five seconds but would you do it blindfolded when you text and drive that's what happens heads up georgia texting and driving is against the law rock rhythm and dua returns to pbs tuesday at 7 on gpb this

fridays in georgia's halftime show we are live at roswell high school where the hornets are hosting the warriors of north cobb and leading it 21-0 and we will have scores from around the state in just a little bit but i have a feeling that john nelson is going to educate us on something else that we haven't heard of yet i think that's probably right it's time for another round of are you smarter which is a lot more fun than looking for a parking spot at linux mall yeah john you're with the assistant principal jim coyle of roswell high school that we are and it's time to be in the assistant principal's office so i guess by default or transitive property i'm still in the principal's office what's going on at roswell these days well right now we're celebrating the fact that our ccrpi scores came back and our graduation rate is just a hair under 90 so we're celebrating that and obviously getting ready for finals at the end of the semester and we're looking forward to being in the dome in a couple of weeks very confident young man time to play the game thank you very much lisa clark here is the question that neither of us have seen a group of trick shot geniuses from australia have just broken a world record with an epic stunt dude what did the how ridiculous what did the how ridiculous team accomplished hey did they sink a basketball for nearly 600 feet did they juggle bowling balls for 20 minutes while wearing blindfolds or did they build a life-size 20-foot segment of the great wall with dominoes i have no idea even though i think i have an idea i believe it's a they sank a basketball from 600 feet i believe that is ding ding ding so here's the video of how ridiculous making the shot from atop a dam in valet switzerland his buds on the ground 590 feet below him and this was only on the third shot they made it so we've i've seen jude perfect and now we've seen how ridiculous do something ridiculous thanks for hanging out with us absolutely thank you so much for being here all right send it back to the set and we're gonna kick it where are we kicking it too lowness and west like this one was 14-0 at the break and this has been all westlake you've seen lounge put up big numbers over the last couple of weeks this one's brought to us by our friends at georgia farm bureau so you're seeing right now lowndes is in a bit of a tough tussle westlake was actually considered the underdog in this matchup 21-nothing westlake right now they're pouring it on so maybe lounge left their offense in those first two weeks let's send it back over to the set and show you what's going on thank you john nelson a little bit of a shocker there but it's time now to check out all the scores from around the state on the georgia's emc scoreboard so let's go to the board and we've got grayson and caulkwood county right off the top and grayson leaving caulfoot county at the half 28-7 it is west lake leading lounge 21-0 in the third quarter big one at mchitchen mill creek and mckitchen tied 21-21 that one in the late second quarter it is tucker over maze by a touchdown in the second north side warner robins leads glenn academy glen academy got to

smaller with just the final four teams remaining in each classification so it's the semis on december 2nd and then the following weekend december 9th and 10th will broadcast eight yes you heard that right eight state championship games live from the georgia dome of course gpb sports is your source for high school football through the entire ghsa playoffs don't miss a second of the action john nelson has left the principal's office he is back alongside for another edition of back roads and backfield brought to you by the georgia cotton commission natural choice for georgia and john this week you hit the road to tiger georgia where wild cats roam lions and wildcats and tigers and they're playing purple hurricane this evening we spent some time up in raven county where earlier in the year we saw what hurricane matthew has done and right now they're battling some stuff both on the field and off when you visit a raven county football practice there's a lot of this going on and as they chase their first ever 12 wins season the only other chances for that being last year in 1998 you notice something else going on there's more than one shaw on staff lee has been joined by son jabo in another meeting of your son is now home from college jabo being with me being my offensive coordinator quarterback coach sidelined together it reminds me back when he played for me and we went to this offense when he was a junior so he knows it inside and out and he's brought so much to the table on offense for us it's just a lot of fun you know i was at western this past year actually 2014 and then just want to be back with dad coaching high school while there's nothing better than high school football i really truly believe that and had an opportunity to come back be with him and you know coach the quarterback that we've got and be a part of this community again it's just been a blessing the cats have had to battle mother nature too and still are really the forest fires in the north georgia mountains have made the last few weeks just weird but it's been a uniting force for everyone around it's been different you know we've had to practice in our indoor facility some you know do as much as we can in there do some just some of the um you know passing kicking stuff outside but it's it's been difficult trying to put a full normal practice together going in and out um you know it's there's some days that are really clear like today and there's other days that are really really smoky out and it's just kind of bothersome to some of the guys that you know have asthma and such we try not to let it distract us too much it definitely would play a role in like how we practiced definitely because when it was smoky out here we'd have to go in the indoor and then just not knowing what we were going to do going into going into practice because some days it would be smoky leading up to practice then it'll clear up for practice so we got to be outside so it's just been i mean weird like you said but like i said we try not to let it affect us too much so the cats continue to catch everything at practice hoping not to be caught themselves for a while and right now give you a scoring update at the break fitzgerald leads raven county 14-7 bayley fisher responsible for 213 total yards of offense for raven county now it's time to kick it and show you what else is going on around the state of georgia thanks big steve carter for giving me the updates on that game all night long and we'll show you how valdosta takes the lead the valdosta has the lead 17-14 on a double reverse and you're seeing another defensive play heading to the end zone for valdosta valdosta was down 14-10 and you're seeing valdosta respond 17-14 right now and that's the score at baysmore hider stadium and i think it's time to head back to the sidelines for something else going on but first backroads of backfield brought to you by the georgia cotton commission the natural choice for georgia

half million georgians we are georgia's emcs proudly serving our members so much more than electricity welcome back to rayman stadium getting ready for the second half here in the quarterfinals in seven eight the left-hand side of your brackets as you're paying attention here with head coach shane queen and i know you were paying attention what was going on in the lower part of the bracket well yes sir i mean you know obviously we can't we got to take care of business tonight we're not winning the field position battle but uh we got to do a better job of getting across the 50 and try to get some points right here in the second half at the same time though you were getting action in the middle of the field drew was catching passes you were being able to move things just not able to get it into the end zone yeah the two turnovers you know you can't you can't turn the ball over against a talon football team like that and that's what we're doing we got to take care of the football second half good luck the second half shane we'll send it upstairs to matt and dr rush for highlights and stuff guys all right thank you nelly and coach queen was exactly right two turnovers by the warriors there in the first half led to two touchdowns for the hornets this was the first the interception by leigh anthony williams lots of pressure on will lovett thrown off his back foot that's never good turned into a 13-yard touchdown pass to corey reid and roswell had a 7-0 lead and then after a fumble at the 15-yard line malik willis would up top to jayden comma and it was 14 to nothing well malik willis has been money in the bank he's hit multiple receivers he's able to run the ball here on this quarterback draw i mean right now he is clearly the most valuable player right now in this game yeah 24-yard touchdown run right there by malik willis and you see the domination negative five yards rushing and that's the big issue for the warriors is there anything they can do to negate the hornet's speed on defense and run the ball well the only thing they're going to be able to do now is through i don't believe right now that north cobb has the offensive line right now you know in gear enough to go and compete right now against a vicious roswell hornets front they're going to have to throw the ball get the ball downfield but it's going to be interesting how they handle protection you know what i'm saying because they got they're playing with three and four wides and right now that they're not able to control the pass rush of roster and chuck you say they have to throw the ball but the hornets have two quarterback sacks and five other tackles for lost in the first half well i mean they're playing man-to-man coverage and we're talking about roswell so what's happening is they have eight defenders right around will love it within four yards of him expecting him to give the ball to cj cole on a dive or take it outside so they basically have eight players to tackle two players on the north cobb offense nelson all right let's go down to that lower part of the bracket and show you kicking it thanks to our friends at georgia farm bureau insurance 21 to nothing but then there's the handoff right up the middle we saw a lot of this last week pick them up and put them down into the end zone to cut the gap a little bit but lounge has some work to do if the sons of thunder are going to come back from 21 down third quarter back upstairs thank you nelly winner of this ball game plays the winner of that one in the state semifinals next friday night westlake doing pretty good man they've uh had some lean years in the past looks like that program is trending up and the kick will be taken by techman at the two yard line and techman dropped at the 19 your third quarter kickoff was brought to you by heads up georgia don't text and drive distracted drivers take lives juwan white making that tackle as techman doesn't even make it back to the 20. well it looked like a little bit north cobb the kickoff return team were surprised that it was even getting returned we rarely see kick returns in this day anymore particularly in high school with the strength of the kickers nice job by white nine of 16 passing for 90 yards one interception five of nine rushing and remember he had a 30-yard run but it's only five of nine because of all the sacks he took love it deep across the field incomplete was looking for the tight end zaire oh yeah fosobi first time they've targeted him tonight i'd like to see north cobb do some shorter crossing routes and where they rub each other off and when you're playing man-to-man those are the recipes for success you know a lot of their routes right now are vertical and it was open there was an opportunity to make that play but i think as you keep getting as they keep trying to get more detailed in the passing game to find some holes in this roswell defense the receivers are so wide bring them a little tighter shorter quicker throws second down and 10. and i think we're gonna have a penalty here on north cobb yes so now it's going to be second down in 15. warriors have been so disciplined in their first couple games here in the playoffs right now they're struggling with the penalties when the other team is playing so fast in front of you that happens complete detectment techman slips a tackle left across the 30 and techman out to the 43-yard line before finally being run down by d roberto i like this call and play with will love it quicker passes moving around good job good job that's what you need to do good job by techman drew techman but it starts with the quarterback give him some quicker easier throws right now they're playing man-to-man that was a good crossing route techman now five catches for 83 yards tonight that was a 27-yard pickup lovin and techman combinations have been about the only thing good happening for them on offense and that's a problem when you're putting four three other wide receivers out there handoff goes to singleton nothing doing there cumberlander making the stop for the hornets i'm just watching techman on that last play he goes in motion they and you're expecting the defense to shift there they didn't even move they kept eight again when you're playing man-to-man only one guy went with him the strong safety went across with techman and they still they're keeping eight defenders playing the run to stop loving and coal techman leads the team in receiving yards catch per average and interceptions this season love it guns it to the 49. it's caught by irwin irwin's got the first round down to the 41-yard line 16-yard pickup well right now you see man-to-man they're playing man-to-man on defense and this is a good job nice curl rod gets the ball out of his head one two three get the ball out of his hands quick that's the recipe you want to try to get back in this game to try to alter a little bit of roswell they're still getting pressure but good smart play calling here with quicker passes erwin looks like he was shaken up on the play he's a load at six foot 220. trying to get to the outside not going to be able to do it dropped for a loss by xavier mckinney xavier mckinney big time or baller mckinney the espn four star number nine ranked safety in the country he was originally committed to alabama until july after 10 months he decommitted from the crimson tide clemson reportedly is leader but bama georgia ohio state and florida all still in the mix complete detectment sixth catch of the ball game for techman well nice run rock nice route by techman five yards upfield cuts to the right out route ball thrown on rhythm that's what you want when you get your quarterback he goes five he goes out ball on rhythm quarterback making some nice throws manageable offense not trying to get too much you can't get it all in one play or in one touchdown just got to get one touchdown at a time third down and eight from the see techman number one in motion draws up tight to the line it's been a nice drive to start this third quarter for the warriors heavy rush lovitt's going to take a sack back at the 50. lamont titus with his first sack of the season third sack of the night for the hornets yup the whole family's back in the backfield on this one all the hornets man the entire bee's nest the hornets are swarming but look they're doing a good job getting up field what i just saw then is that you're getting up field they're getting vertical really fast that's what you like in the pass rusher how fast can you get vertical the hornets are doing a good job with that horn horton on the kick at his 36 no rush mckinney will come up and make the catch at the 21. and mckinney fumbles at the end of the play and roswell covers it at the 23. john nelson going to give us an update now this one's been kind of back and forth all night buford and carrollton going at it christian turner had a big week last week four tds against jones county he's got three this week against carrollton it was 13-13 at the break and then a 26-yard touchdown for christian turner makes it 1913 buford you see him pick it up and put him down right there into the end zone at time ryden stadium it's been a while since buford's loss to tom wright and they're up 19-13 in the third thanks nelly first and ten for the hornets nothing doing right there as sheldon evans is stopped for a loss by thurman gathers and jay irwin well i think the recipe right now if you're on if you're on roswell's side i'm not going to take any chances now i think you're going to see a little more heavy run they might throw here and there but i think they're going to you know try to maybe finish this drive and then they're going to run to try to run the clock out second down and 11. willis protected now scrambling now in trouble gets by albright going to run it cutback malik willis finally dropped at the 46 by erwin he picked up the first down 23-yard pickup for malik willis when he was trapped yeah nice job by malik willis escaping back here looks like a magician albright's on him he does a good job getting outside but you're gonna without a little bit right there what you saw then that's just that's bad defense you had three players literally outside the hash willie crosby our referee have unsportsmanlike conduct on north cobb apparently it's going to go both ways here offsetting on that last run you had four defenders outside the hash to the left i mean it made malik willis cutting back really easy again one of the definitions of a good defense you got to keep playing fast got to play fast got to play through the whistle i want to see right now i want to see north cobb i want to see them finish the place i want to see them finish the plays because right now yeah roswell they're feeling themselves from the standpoint of their playing faster they're stronger they're making better decisions and they're playing at a different speed than north cobb yep willis now with 51 yards rushing to go along with his 135 yards passing sheldon evans jay irwin stops him about a yard and a half on the play irwin with his fourth tackle of the ball game for most of the night this north cobb front they've done a good job on the run they haven't really been exposed but where the plays have really come is when willis has gotten back there and throwing the quick passes or used his legs this front's done pretty good so far second down and eight evans again a big hole first down evans down to the 38. i spoke too fast they break one out but again what you're starting to see now this north cobb defense is wearing down they're off balance from the standpoint of roswell's hit him in the air they ran the ball they ran outside this is just a gigantic hole credit to roswell off the right side blocking down just creating the running lanes right here for evans ran to the side of number 77 jordan tucker willis is able to get rid of the ball rather than take the sack but i tell you what comes with although so being a great scrambler is taking chances now on that play there with willis you got to be smart now get that's how you get hurt when you're trying to do too much trying to extend the play the guy has your leg and then you got guys coming to hit you again you got to learn how to fight your fights and pick your battles you gotta learn to fight again sometimes just gotta go down and now a flag comes out potential grounding and john ford who's very heated has to be pulled back to the sideline all the coaches got the pullback guy these days huh high school all the way on up i think he's saying that he was out of the pocket maybe well he was inside the tackle box was not outside the tackle box when he threw it it was a terrible call after the fact willis quarterback draw gonna get it all back and more malik willis cutback touchdown well we talked about malik willis playing at a flashlight speed compared there's a flag down on the field back at the 46. well he's playing at another speed man he's uh got the afterburners on i mean he's phenomenal right now malik willis right here i mean this is a quarterback run all the way i mean this is just another gear right here watch this puts on that second gear it's a lot of want to a lot of let's talent it's getting a lot of control out here how many penalties what how many penalties i wonder have we had so far so the play is going to come back a face mass call on the offense roswell on that long touchdown run by malik willis negates the touchdown run so a 15-yard penalty from the spot of the foul so instead of a touchdown roswell's gonna be backed up to the 40-yard line so points and a 60-yard penalty basically again i've been on teams that had a lot of made a lot of dumb penalties and then that we're really disciplined both of these teams need to learn how to keep their composure so second down and 31. willis sack back at the 39. gathers got him well i tell you nice job by gather staying alive but again we talked about malik willis i've talked about what he's done well let me tell you what i see that he needs to work on you can't extend every play quarterbacks who sit in the pocket like this a lot of times they don't last a long time you can't extend every play and you lose focus of where the rush is and who's around you sometimes you gotta like i said throw the ball stay within offense you can't freelance every play that's the sixth sack of the playoffs for thurman gathers sheldon evans on the carry warriors trying to strip him of the ball as he gets across the 50 and down to the 46. he picked up 15 but the hornets will now have to punt sheldon evans limping a little bit it's like he might have injured that ankle again nice job running here good tough run but right somewhere in here you can see he starts favoring that leg trying to get down i wouldn't be surprised if we see that that's the last of sheldon evans we see tonight so barkhoff is going to punt he stands at his 40. makes the fair catch at the 12-yard line 34-yard punch and that's where the warriors will go back on offense with four minutes and 34 seconds to play here in the third quarter we'll take a timeout north cobb running out of time gotta figure out how to score on this hornet's defense scalpel i have no idea what i'm doing i'm just a tv doctor i never went to college 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 welcome back 434 for the third still 21 to nothing let's kick it around the state and tell you what's going on it's going to be mill creek and mckitren knocking on the door of the folks dressed in white and we are tied at 21 still there this one once again back and forth seven points now back to 21 you see mill creek driving right there cameron turley trying to go for another score news out of south georgia right now gac leading liberty 38-31 heading to the bottom of the third overtime back upstairs all right nelly north cobb going back on offense during their six-game winning streak they have averaged nearly 38 points per game they have been shut out here tonight by this roswell defense they have negative 21 yards rushing 120 yards of total offense they averaged close to 368 a game and our kamatsu forklift key of the game was what will love it has to do it with his legs first and foremost they had to run the ball we know cj cole also had to make some you know big plays with his legs but will love it has it today to do that and they've shut down this passing game first and ten zone read love it gonna run it up to the 19-yard line justin ellis making the tackle fourth tackle of the night for justin ellis he's got two quarterback sacks ellis with offers from army and troy remember he was not with them last year when they made the run to the state championship he injured himself and was lost for the season and john ford said that was a key loss as they ended up falling to culprit county in the state championship game techman with the catch there goes the shutout techman gonna go the distance drew tekman with the long touchdown and north cobb finally on the board an 82-yard pass play for the score well there's man-to-man coverage nice job by techman running the catch the cornerback fell down techman does a good job catching the ball lovett does a good job throwing it where tekmin can just make an easy catch then he's off to the races big play horton with the p-a-t and it is 21-7 here's your tcsg touchdown replay well good play action pass gets the ball off still under pressure good job techman stays in his route the cornerback falls down williams falls down nice job by love it has a clean pocket we've talked about the offensive line what they haven't done for north cobb that play excellent job protecting giving will love it a clean pocket he's able to deliver the ball on rhythm good protection oh nice job there also by is that strozier i think a mod strojer someone picks up a running picks up one of the blitzers in the backfield that's what sprung that pass to give will love it an opportunity to have time to throw good job adding more to the protection we talked about that at halftime helping the protection they added a running back that time to help in the protection versus ellis and that helps bring the touchdown well drew tekman with offers from purdue and nc state among his 17 including georgia southern and georgia state he has been their offense tonight seven catches for 177 and would you on side kick here no you still got time 351 still got time to play some ball horton will kick away and it will not be returned so now we'll see if the north cobb deepens can roswell offense as they will start at the 20-yard line let's check in with john nelson again checking in with west lake and lounge you see that now fourth quarter on the pump and a fade they're going to give them the catch west lake now up 21 to 14. they were up 21-0 here comes lowndes fourth quarter guys yeah that was a great catch by xavier jenkins in the corner of the end zone we saw him come back last week against norcross sheldon evans trying to get to the outside not going to get there big five yard loss trey urquhart and jay irwin and north cobb's defense playing with a new inspiration again talking about sheldon evans you can see right here he's a little he's tiptoeing his tiptoeing right here tries to go lateral at the end of the day man the guy has a hurt ankle but showing a lot of toughness going back in the game he came out on that last series limping hobbling off the field i'm surprised to see him back in the game it's going to be on harris's watch this time if they're going to do anything this drive second down and 15. heavy rush willis gets away from it and he's going to be dropped at the 16-yard line by jay irwin well again we talked about willis it's going to be on him to make it happen here got to get back in rhythm i'll tell you this they're doing a lot better job in coverage they're mixing coverage a little bit here on the other side north cobb they kind of went to a little bit of man defense also playing a little man-to-man erwin now with seven tackles two for loss he has nine offers including marshall east carolina and ball state third down and long now for the hornets crossing route dropped by comet was thrown behind him and this north cobb defense after getting their first touchdown of the night on offense chuck the north cobb defense comes up with their first three and out of this half doing a good job mixing up coverage that time they play a little man-to-man and then the play before that they went cover two they were in the zone instead of playing basically a cover three and everyone playing for the deep ball but i'll tell you something that's changed malik willis right now he's not in rhythm he's kind of getting back there he's running around not sure where the ball is that has a lot to do with the adjustment and coverage hats off on that series to north cobb park off from the one-yard line will punt heavy rush he gets rid of it catch was made at the 48 yard line by t.j johnson barkov thought that he had been roughed no flag and great field position after a 32-yard kick great field position for the warriors who now seem like they have some momentum for the first time tonight and you're exactly right the warriors right now feeling more confident because they had some success remember now in the second half remember techman catches one gets stripped ripped out of there they've had some success but penalties have knocked them back and so the mind frame right now is they feel like they they're in this game because they're doing the one thing we talked about they have to do to win this game they have to throw the ball with will love it they're not going to run it they might get a few plays here and there but they're going to have to throw the ball and if you're on the other side you got to relax yourself and you got to say we'll rise well we can stop these guys cj cole picks up two on the play and this is just to keep them honest matt they're going to run in the middle with cj cole he hasn't had a lot of success but don't come out of your offense you're only down by 14 points we're just a little bit over two minutes right now in the third quarter you can still do your whole offense don't give up on the run because eventually when we talk about keeps all right they'll keep sawing that wood keep sawing that wood second down and eight i'm throwing the tech maneuver they're gonna play man-to-man i'm throwing a techman every time okay right now they're not playing man they play in the zone love it heavy rush goes up throws it up for grabs and it's incomplete techman and irwin were both there mckinney back there and justice harris back there as well for the hornets and it's gonna be third down i love right now this chess match when you look at the defense right now of roswell the hornets they went in the zone that time so they had all eyes on the quarterback so they're in the zone and uh checkman ended up drifting towards the middle they had a safety plan directly in the middle in the zone and cover three techman had four catches in the first half chuck he's had three here in the third quarter well he's an absolute baller and we know that and for the first time tonight you sense that roswell feels like they're in a real game here as north cobb is showing some resistance love it throws uh incomplete trying to connect with quantity green at the 44 fourth down here 90 seconds left in the half chuck it's fourth down and let's call it eight would you go for it no i would punt it here i would punt it and play defense they've had success there's still what really when you look at the 21 they haven't done much roswell hasn't done much offensively in some time here i will keep playing defense keep taking the advantage of the short end of the field and just keep working but what i need to see also that last play will love it you didn't have to back out that way step up and step sometime and feel that pocket you can take off and run vertical and split that seam and have a chance to make a play or don't keep drifting back because you're gonna it makes it easier for the pass rushers mckinney had a 55-yard punt return touchdown last week against peachtree ridge he will not get a chance to return this one as the ball is going to be downed at the eight yard line so roswell roswell in a deep hole as we kick it with nellie and a number one team in the state had to go triple o t to win tonight yeah and that's the magic of when you have to hold it come to me real quick wes and i'm going to do this all over again all right here we go here's your ending for the game in triple overtime thanks to right gazaway and wtoc touchdown into the end zone liberty didn't convert on their fourth and 20. gac did 44-38 triple overtime gac gets the duke and they move on by the skin of their teeth tonight and hinesville guys back wow exciting stuff here are we headed for something like that in the fourth quarter nice i like that the nelly came okay willis gonna run it he got tripped up or he might have gone wooten was able just to get up there and kind of click his heels or he might have gone yeah and i'm gonna tell you right now malik willis he can run when he wants to run even if they would do more what designated runs like when they're doing his back he'll do a quarterback draw that's where he's had the most success here of recently so let him take care of that keep running the ball but you know they're going to get back there and throw they got to get into a rhythm he's doing good running second down and one under a minute to play here in the quarter again quarterback keeper and he dropped the ball and north cobb's got it all bright on top of it there's also a flag down on the field this is a big flag because this is a huge turnover for north cobb that's going to be declined they did exactly what i thought they need to do run a quarterback draw it looks like he runs in the back of someone yeah he ran right into his offensive line oh just like the butt fumble it was it was the same play seated concept basically same concept now north top has it first and ten at the roswell 17-yard line with 37 seconds to play in the third quarter i'm trying to get will love it outside on these edges and trying to get him to run i might start out with a dive but one of these first two plays will love it needs to get the ball running cj cole sprints out they're gonna throw it to him he can't catch up with it drift a little high nice play call love it just it just drips a little high so second down and 10. the last play for malik harris let me tell you where a lot of that comes from fatigue he had just ran to play before he's tired throwback the other way erwin dropped it oh my goodness and he had a convoy of two offensive linemen out in front of him that was the oh snap screen all everything going to the right and then just before when they throw it back low snap oh they're gonna have nightmares about this one look at that he's got two offensive linemen out in front of him kadarian carter and aj diaz as a convoy to get him into the end zone the last two passes were possible touchdowns third down and 10. watch out for the crosser across the middle heavy rush caught by techman inside the 10. techman into the end zone for the touchdown 17 yards and north cobb has cut it to 21-13 well i knew there would be a crosser coming across the middle because they had a zone and then techman ends up doing an excellent job crosses the middle when they're playing zone all eyes are on the quarterback he found an open seam and put on the jets whoa it's heating up here in the stadium roswell are on their heels right now 21-14 here's your tcsg touchdown replay yep all they do is they run across across the middle they bring the receiver from the right goes crosses to the left and techman comes from the left to the right on a drag route does an excellent job touchdown crosser across the middle wide open look there in the zone well as some of you may have heard i thought this game was over after the first quarter and my apologies to the north cobb warriors and shane queen's team i underestimated them chuck they are back in the game and this game is not over yep they have arisen we talked about the adjustments at halftime and we talked about how are they going to get back in the game passing they haven't had any success running but early on they've had a lot of success throwing the ball that is the recipe kick will not be returned and the hornets will have it at the 20 and north cobb has all the momentum right now because i was agreeing with you now i mean look norm cobb showed no heartbeat it looked like it was going to be a i mean a game where they get wiped out here but guess what what they did they made the proper adjustments at halftime and they said you know what let's come on let's throw the ball let's stop acting like we can run on them and let's throw the ball cause we've shown that we can make some success there well they are back in the ball game and we're gonna have a different story heading to the fourth quarter than many of us thought evans on the carry gonna be stopped in his tracks by chandler wooten who makes his seventh tackle of the night and remember malik willis broke off a 50-yard touchdown run that would have made it 28 to nothing it got called back by the penalty it has been all north cobb ever since we talked about discipline i mean from the time this game started it seems like every third play i'm saying you got to be disciplined you got to be smart you can't have silly penalties that set you back in championship games like this where teams have heart and teams can make adjustments i mean you just got to be prepared you know to come to the game and try to clean it up we are headed to a dramatic fourth quarter because of will lovett and drew tekman and a great comeback by the warriors in the third quarter and as we head to the final 12 minutes in this quarter final roswell leads north cobb 21-14 this program on gpb is

into the world of work the georgia career technical and agricultural education programs teach students essential career skills through real world experiences and on-the-job training welcome back getting ready for the final 12 minutes here at ray main estadium north cobb climbing the mountain down now only 21-14 and speaking of climbing the mountain from 21-14 let's kick it brought to us by our friends at georgia farm bureau lowndes intercepts west lake at their own 11 then michael barrett winds up and fires caught at the 40 and there's a reason we're showing it all the way from the left to all the way to the right under four minutes to go regulation now lowndes and westlake tied at 21 as well on the west lake campus benedictine and crisp also putting up big numbers and you can now advance thompson with their win tonight over spalding we'll keep you posted as to what's going on the rest of the fourth quarter but for the final 12 minutes of regulation and yes i just used the r word matt stewart let's send it up to matt and dr rush well how about that big pass play by michael barrett to marcus gary to tie up that game between lowndes and westlake and here we start the fourth quarter it is second down and six for the hornets at their own 24-yard line third quarter owned by the warriors evans not a lot of one running room right there tackle made by albright they haven't had much success with evans running here but they've been doing what you need to do in this kind of offense you got to keep feeding that dive you got to feed that dive then eventually you're going to see willis he's going to pull it outside but i would put the i would put this game in willis's hands i'd get him out on half rolls give an option to run through let him do what he has to do evans stuck hard by erwin langston parker in on that play as well jay irwin having himself a night eight tackles for irwin tonight it's fourth down and one and the hornets have to punt that was a quick series that was a quick series and this the momentum has completely changed and you got tech going back deep they're going to return they got a return set up it's going to be interesting here if he takes that if he catches it well let me tell you north cobb doing their best impersonation of lazarus here in the second half remember techman took one back 99 yards last week versus lambert barkhoff gets rid of it kicks it away from techman it is a short kick that goes out of bounds shy of the 50-yard line 18-25 yard kick and north cobb trying to make history trying to reach the semifinals for just the second time in school history they did it in 2012 when they won in the quarterfinals that year and advanced and lost to lovejoy they beat mill creek 42-35 in the quarters behind quarterback tyler queen back in 2012. of course he's coach shane queen's son and now a member of the auburn tigers well moving forward here when i'm looking at this defense right now from roswell they got to get back to what they were doing earlier lots of pressure on the quarterback they were playing man-to-man real strong they got to figure out a way to slow down techman i'm double-teaming techman if i'm roswell time-out call by north cobb that's the first one they burned i mean i'm doubling i'm putting the guy i'm ma i'm playing press at the line making it hard for drew tekman to get off the line of scrimmage and i'm keeping the safety over top of them like everybody does when you watch the atlanta falcons julio jones hasn't had as much success individually and you know since he's had that big game so they're doing basically what i would do to drew tekman is i would press him at the line and play someone a safety over top of them and double team them take him out the game let someone else make a play here and now if i'm in north if i'm north cobb i'm airing it out but i'm still running being smart but i'm eventually going to try to find a way to find someone else to make some plays so first and ten we were just talking about tyler queen who led northcott to the semifinals in 2012 well he's on the sideline with his dad tonight zekman in motion love it throws intercepted by mckinney the texman comes back to make the tackle at the 38. second pick of the night for the hornets won by williams won by mckinney taken back 27 yards get him off the spot a little bit double pumps oh nice play yeah nice play man we talked about mixing up that coverage going from man to zone i mean nice job that time they play the zone everybody's playing in space that's what zone defense is and that was a nice counter helps that interception willis they're going for the home run broken up by delshawn harris trying to get the ball to jayden comma they took a shot that happens a lot of times i mean after you get that turnover always take a shot second down and ten quick pass to barber barber tackle nice open field stop by deandre ferguson for a loss down to nelly all right let's go to lowndes and westlake we saw how lounge was getting their way too and it looks like it's out of the pistol formation 18 seconds to go and into the pile just short of the 15-yard line and you see the clock working its way all the way down looks like west lake is trying to position itself for a game-winning field goal we'll have it we'll show you what happens evans on the carry still on his feet pulling his way forward black comes out as he reaches the 31 shy of the first down by a couple of yards but evan seems to think he got facemasked man evans is showing so much toughness i watched him right before the half man he's just unbelievably competing today good job moving the pile he moved the pile about five yards on that last play there was no reason for him to have to do that all that was about was what perseverance man wanting it more on that play let's see they're going to move backwards it's going to be against roswell well that's a big penalty because roswell remember they've been having a lot of success early on with the quick screens getting the ball out of the quarterback's hands all right we showed you setting up for the last second field goal attempt two seconds to go looks like it's squared away at about the 23-yard line 24-yard line so you're looking at a 34-yard attempt and randy mcpherson's gonna let him think about it we'll come back to westlake out of the time-out well the penalty was against roswell a five-yard penalty backs it up to the original line of scrimmage yeah because if you're right now if you're on roswell's side you got to be thinking to get the ball close to the 20 somewhere in there you got to be thinking field goal you got to think about you're up by seven you get a field goal it puts you up by 10. especially with the defense you have you got to feel good about that but that's important right here i believe that if i'm on north cobb side i'm doing whatever i have to do to stop these guys and taking some chances on the run and trying to stop them and keep them from getting out of field goal range because to me this is close to what i would call almost to the game if you give them a field goal it's going to be tough to get back in it third down and 10 from the 39 and the officials have yet to put the ball in play here malik will is very dangerous right here in the pocket has the ability to run for 10 here if he gets a chance spread out lobs it downfield incomplete cory reed is target and now it's fourth down back to nelly all right here's the end of it randy mcpherson called the time out to ice the west lake kicker 34 yard field goal attempt and you see the reaction westlake advances 34-yard field goal as time expires low level 7a they get the winner of this one wow so westlake advances and will play either north cobb or roswell in the semi-finals fourth down roswell punting from the 39 here bark off back at his 47. and the ball is gonna hit and roll dead inside the five and at the four great so nicely done by the hornets special teams and punter turner bark off well here's where you want to see a little cj cole when you're backed up maybe he can burst one out of there and split the seams on that inside dive i would open up here give it to cj or lo or will love it let him run it i'm running on his first down and trying to get trying to get four or five yards and then i'm getting back into my my passing game so with west lake advancing chuck that means that if roswell wins this game they'll have a coin toss to determine who the home team is but i don't think that either one of the teams roswell or westlake would meet stadium requirements correct so they'd have to go to a neutral site north cobb wins the north cobb is the visiting team west lake the home team but again they'll have to play it at some stadium other than westlake stadium chuck they've already been talking about the possibility of norcross or mckitron or maybe even fifth third lovett slings it out of there complete to techman he got dropped immediately on the play that's mckinney on the tackle mckinney's had a big night four tackles an interception tackle for loss and a fumble recovery for xavier mckinney the number nine ranked safety in the country he's just he's not going to announce his commitment until the under armour game on january 1. that's a good place to do it second down and six heavy rush lovett fires out of there and nearly intercepted by justice harris as the ball was deflected high into the air report from south georgia grayson with a 49-21 lead at colkwood so the two-time defending state champion packers look like they're going to be eliminated tonight by the number one ranked team in the state the grayson rams that's big for grayson i mean you talking about taking the road trip to call quick and i have seen what what the good folks down there and mulch are about and that was a big win because i know everything was against grayson down there north cobb four of 12 on third down this is third and six love it heavy rush got to get rid of it and cannot connect with kwaney green he was trying to hit drew tekman on a wheel route but remember he's all the way to the left hash drew goes all the way to the right on the wheel route outside the numbers he would have had to have dan marino a rocket and michael vick's arm to reach drew tekman there's no way that was a tough play there though i mean good pass russia getting by roswell they got got a little heat on him so will horton punting out of his own end zone horton averaging 34 yards a kick this year no rush boomer mckinney has to go way back and it's going to hit and go out of bounds at the 47 yard line which is about as good as you could do in that situation well you can't do any better you're exactly right matt when we're looking at the situation now matt it's 8 13. you can't give up a field goal here if i'm north cobb if i'm the warriors i got to do whatever i have to do to keep them out of the end zone got to if you got to send pressure send to marlette willis send them at the quarterback but you got to figure it out because right now they haven't been able to run the ball with efficiency well you got to give north cobb a lot of credit for just getting back in this game from where they were at halftime hornets back on offense at the 47-yard line big hole sheldon evans to the outside and evans finally tackled at the 25 by kevin johnson exactly what they could not afford to do you're right good job by lucas adams the center jack nichols the right guard ends up knocking the defensive line off the ball excellent job though i'm gonna tell you got a lot of respect for sheldon evans playing with that hurt ankle but it's playoff time you know you got to go he's doing a great job nice run evans with 130 yards rushing tonight on 20 carries he's balling i'd keep running here i'd run here i wouldn't put the ball in there i try to run see how we can do he has nine offers including minnesota georgia southern and app state gets the rock again look at that look at that battering ram out there on the edge he gets eight on the play still walking with a little limp that's toughness right there does a good job cuts outside nice block by that left tackle nice job by jordan tucker blocking on gathers that time stealing him so sheldon evans can break to the outside evans trying to build a two touchdown lead for the hornets here third consecutive carry out a one tackle hard to get on the ground ercart finally does that's going to be a first down at the 10. design outside zone play that was designed to go outside and he does a good job of following the blockers give him a lot of credit on that one man jordan tucker getting after it out there big number 77 grant silver left guard doing an excellent job sealing him and right here this ain't nothing but effort right here just fighting scrapping and then he looks to the sideline chuck and says let me eat feed me 22 carries 149 for sheldon evans he hadn't even played the last two weeks basically down to the seven chandler wooten hanging on for dear life eighth tackle of the night for chandler wooten maybe playing his final high school football game tonight he will be playing in the under armour all-american game in orlando first north cobb player ever invited to play in one of the big national all-star games willa sprinton throwing and nowhere to go with it threw it low and now it's gonna be third down nice job right there getting after it by albright putting a hit on harris i mean willis good job might want to keep that ball on the ground keep the clock moving you're in total control you've ran the ball four five four times here and you've had a lot of success keep grinding it keep grinding it third down and goal to go from the seven john ford's team trying to get back to the semifinals i'm calling the quarterback draw right here willis is fresh i would do a quarter there it is run inside it's avenged to the end zone he's in touchdown sheldon evans what a gutty performance by the senior who has over 5 000 career yards rushing and a big seven yards right there to put roswell up 27-14 well they kept pushing lucas adams at center and does an excellent job jack nichols right guard i mean excellent job by grant silver at left guard this is an inside zone play watch this line of scrimmage start going backwards going back back back everybody's getting knocked back a stout north cobb defense getting pushed back this was probably the best drive for the offensive line in the second half for roswell they did a good job controlling the line of scrimmage an astounding 63rd career touchdown run for sheldon evans and it's 28-14 what is by moonlight an empty field is by the magic of electricity sacred

roswell 28-14 lead on north cobb here in the quarterfinals winner advances to play westlake in the state semifinals next friday night sixth play 53-yard drive and chuck smith sheldon evans did most of the heavy lifting yeah he did and he did most of it between the tackles and where it's rough a little rough water in there and he did a good job just fighting and competing but also give a lot of credit to the roswell offensive line they've stepped up they really it really put their will in that drive you could just see they were fighting they were scrapping they did a good job and now from just from the standpoint of the time you're north cobb you still can stay in your office you're only down by 14. you got to get a touchdown but you can still run the ball you got to be smart you can still throw the ball so you're still in this game i expect them to come out and give a little bit of run and then a little more pass because they've been successful with the past on the other side of the ball if you're roswell your goal is just make it if they do score make it slow kick's going to be taken by tekman at the seventh techman going to go down juwan white second special teams tackle the night for him and north cobb is at the 23. they have two timeouts remaining and chuck if north cobb is going to come back as you take a look at that number right there kind of tells the story of who's dominated on the ground offensively and defensively it's been roswell if they're going to come back and do something nobody's done against roswell all season and that scored more than two touchdowns in the game you're exactly right but in the playoffs crazier things that happened yeah but we but we recognize this after i recognize this and you did too after the first two series ain't gonna be with the run if you're gonna get back in it they got to throw the ball techman's been a great target for him tonight they were trying to go to christian singleton right there and is broken up by sam d roberto just too much pressure there right now he will love it he's throwing off the back back foot every time he's just drifting backwards he's taken away from his ability to deliver he's taking away his power and really is taking away everything but he's gonna have to step into some throws you know you're gonna you're gonna get a couple hits but you gotta step into the throws and be confident you can't keep drifting back or or you're gonna basically play right into roswell's hands second down and ten heavy rush love it gets rid of it irwin can't come up with it let's kick it with john nelson all right let's show you what else is going on we got a bunch of finals coming in but let's kick it brought to us by our friends at georgia farm bureau mckitron had been driving they were intercepted under seven minutes to go and then wind up in fire cameron turley into the end zone looks like mill creek they were up three and they get into the end zone one more time so it looks like mill creek's holding on to the fourth guys well if they hold on and win it would be mill creek and grayson the number one and number two ranked teams meeting each other next week in the semi-finals love it heavy pressure another quarterback sack for big justin ellis it's his third sack of the night look the last two plays have been just absolutely total destruction of an offensive line by the d-line will love it i mean he's taking some some major league shots sitting in the pocket and you know when those plays there you can't step into it i mean he didn't have time to really even get the ball here's the third down here's the second down play on will love it all right you see here i mean he doesn't have time takes a hit to the head that was a probably a personal foul then you get on the third down i mean one one thousand two i'm doing a bootleg timer but he didn't have hardly even two seconds to get the ball out i mean there's nothing you can do when there's so much pressure on top of you horton punts it away and the ball goes out of bounds at the 49-yard line a 37-yard kick right there and so the hornets back on offense with five minutes and 39 seconds to play it's justin ellis he plays the bandit position they were just highlighting him number nine did a good job i mean he's been a terror all day but as i'm looking at his size he's 6'3 240. he's not a little guy he's a he's a beast out there he's a big bandit and look at that jersey he looks like he's been in a scrape a configuration or something he's a tattered torn up jersey and you know what you know john ford told us colleges are insane that he hasn't gotten more offers than he's had wide open that's going to go scooby-doo christian scooby ford with the 51-yard catch-and-run and roswell up 34-14 well-designed play they fake a run he does a stop and go it looks like a stop and go or scream well designed play nice job on that one by malik willis faking they end up faking the screen and they throw a deep route here does an excellent job good job by ford the 5 10 170 pound junior nice job trying to put the finishing touches on this game and that might have been it right there 35-14 willis is just football fridays on gpb is made possible in part by regions bank it's time to expect more georgia's electric membership corporations so much more than electricity technical college system of

chicago l welcome to alaska what a beautiful place thanks for having me glad to be back in seattle always love it out here this fall on pbs welcome back to raymanis stadium five and a half to go here in the fourth home team up 35-14 let's kick it and take you to tom ryden stadium show you the end of the game here you see that's under 40 seconds to go carrollton had a fourth and 30 at their own 32 did not convert so it looks like beaufort is just going to run out the clock sean calhoun in his first year at carrollton part of that rush probes coaching tree and there's a formation that dr rush is all too familiar with virginia fleck beaufort goes down once clock's going to tech buford will move on in a tough one against carrollton tonight guys all right thank you nelly here we have five and a half minutes left christian scooby-ford just got in there and got the touchdown great balance from the wide receiver core malik willis spreading it out ford was 65 yards receiving comma 41 hopper with 23. reed has 28. reed has caught a touchdown pass thomas caught a touchdown pass and ford's caught a touchdown pass malik willis we talked about this north cobb defense controlling them they weren't able to put enough pressure on them ercart on the return he's going to bring it out to the 34. and so first and ten for the warriors and they're running out of time here to down three touchdowns all passing here now protection's gonna be at a premium got to protect will love it yeah but you still got to try to make some big plays downfield so nothing can go over your head that's the mind frame right now this defense of roswell nothing can get over your head no cheap plays nothing you know you just want to let the clock run out and uh try to move on well it's been a history-making season for north cobb it's their third ever trip to the quarterfinals trying to make it to the semis for the second time ever it'll take him a r it'll take a miraculous back at this point now as they run the ball to cj cole right there this is just the fourth 10-win season they've had in program history this year three of them have come under shane queen 2012 the best season they ever had reached the state semifinals they have one current nfl player that's former georgia tech tied in darren waller he was a six-round draft pick of the baltimore ravens and now plays for that team complete the strozier and strozier tight ropes the sideline and if he didn't step out that's going to be a touchdown wow how about that yeah that was a swing pass that he took the distance nice job excellent effort i mean that was all strozier he gets out there and puts the jets on it looks like some of the defenders kind of turned it down a little bit from roswell thinking he was going to go out of bounds yep yeah they just gave a little push right there and he never stepped out of bounds 62 yards from monstrosity to make it 35-20 and now 35-21 on the p.a.t by horton and now you can expect the onside kick yeah gotta get the onside kick and um but that was a nice job you know you just talked about the resume of north cobb i tell you something that's not on that resume is toughness resilience and guys get after it man they're not turning it down and we talk i i said at halftime i need to see them finishing plays playing fast giving effort and one thing if you that i always remember about this team no matter what happens these guys are giving great effort and that's a testament to coach queen in this program and it's going to continue because he's a heck of a coach and these guys i mean this is just the start for him 306 yards passing tonight for will love it that and a lot of hits though and that would have been offset a little bit but with a running game you know i mean cj cole the last two games we've done with cj cole was it the kitchen we start out with and it was what tiff he was always a factor he probably had over 100 yards hasn't been effective today it's been basically it's been drew techman will love it trying to get the ball detected defense has done a done a pretty serviceable job here in that third between that second and third quarters but right now they're going to need to make a stop or get this onside kick and like you said still have to find somewhat of a mini miracle let's see if they can execute the on-side kick here roswell's got their hands team up there if they get this it's going to put something on the board they got action and john ford is going to call a timeout he wants to make sure his guys up front know exactly what they're supposed to do let's check in with john nelson all right let's check in with one of the games that was anticipated around the state cartersville up 19-9 under two minutes to go a little jet action and how about adding six to the total 19 and six is 25 p-a-t pending 25-9 looks like cartersville is going to be advancing into the semifinals guys all right thank you nelly i think that makes what uh 28 straight wins now for the purple hurricanes i think 28 straight wins now for the purple hurricanes they were undefeated last year okay so let me do some math 13-0 this year i'm gonna do some math hey hey chuck can you help me untie my shoes man's got to do math somehow trust me it's 28. oh man gonna on side kick here and recovered by techman north cobb has it amazing what a kick what a play by techman they timed it perfectly he went up and got the ball at the height although he doesn't have it right now so maybe they don't have it i thought take manhattan come up with it you see dante sawyer the assistant coach former star wide receiver for north cobb right there with the visor turned backwards he says they got it somebody got it tekman didn't come up with it they got it still no signal from the officials north cobb has it amazing how many times will we count this team dead can then come back to life leaders kick boom boom this is the one boom what a kick wow techman he never did get a piece of it fell on top of it and as is the case when you fall on top of it it usually squirts out from underneath and urcard jumped on top of it okay the situation now is you still got your offense you want to try to score pretty quick here you want to try to score within the next two minutes just to have a chance to get that next on sidekick or stop him i'm going to the air again that's they've scored 21 points in the air and guess what they scored more gave up more than two touchdowns yup they did first time they've done it all season let's see what north cobb can do here take a reverse love it takes a huge sack back at the 49. justin ellis with his sports sack of the night well number one you don't have enough time to fake a dive fake or reverse what's happening is taking too much time you got these heat-seeking missiles coming at you from roswell you don't have this the play is taking too long to develop when when he's when will love has had success he's got to get back there he's throwing it and a lot of times he's throwing off his back foot ellis you don't have this kind of time you can't be exotic you got to get good protection get the ball downfield four sacks for that beast tonight they run the inside screen and that is strozier i think yeah strozier again he just had the 62-yard pass play he's in on the game plan late a little late to the party but not too late up here did you see that first right then yeah he's late to the party but he came with some bursts just then wow they need a little bit more of him maybe a lot more of him third down and seven ball at the 39 nearly intercepted by harris fourth down i don't know but i'd find out where number 12 is and try to get him the ball you're right and that's what i would do down here i mean they got on on the side closest to me they have and i'm like i said on the right side they're playing man-to-man he comes on the field yep i don't know how to take them off the field on fourth and six they're sitting back in the zone now there's gonna be some opportunities if they get protection byrain techman flag out we may have pass interference on the anthony williams i don't know if i've seen a quarterback get hit as much as we'll love it tonight and stand back in that pocket and get up he stepped into that throw is that a pi pass interference i think so so that'll be a first down for the warriors with 3 11 to play i think it's a good call so first and ten for north cobb at the roswell 24. the anthony williams locked up on drew tekman they're going for technic back shoulder throw couldn't make it flag out on the plate got a hold on north cobb might want to change the snap count a little bit i think which is also the defensive line of roswell the hornets i mean they're tied into the snap count looks like you know i understand north cobb is trying to eliminate penalties a lot of times what offenses do they'll just go on the same count and as a defender you just start jumping the count and taking advantage because they're getting the field way too quick even the greatest d-lines can't get up that fast maybe they might want to come back with a hard count maybe even go on two change it up a little bit at least that's what i would do you wouldn't know dr rush but i'm not in the fire right now so those decisions have to be made let's see if they make the adjustments first in 28. up in the air wow mckimmy and the anthony williams were fighting for the pick and dropped it they both were trying to go for it that was just a just good aggressiveness yep yep you take it i got it good job by loving extending the play actually it was more like i'm going to take it no i'm going to take it and nobody took it that but you know i'll take that both guys competing to try to get after it now if they get a first down here or score they're going to be ah oh another penalty another penalty on the player so that's the first down for north cobb i didn't see the penalty maybe nelly can check that for us the first and ten from the 27th roughing the passer cj cole the target he couldn't corral it i mean you got to credit that play to justin ellis i'm telling you cj cole was wide open he had about five steps up the seam and if if will lovett could have stepped into that he would have been able to probably got a touchdown i mean justin ellis is having a heck of a game he's competing i mean he's very disruptive second down and 10. techman battle for it great hand battle going on over there between drew techman and lee anthony williams man great coverage by lee anthony williams he's playing man the man gets his hands on him doesn't let him get a free release and that's what you want playing man-to-man i mean nice job going to get such a great player and drew tekken number four lee anthony williams committed to clemson back in february over georgia alabama auburn and others espn 4 star and number 20 cornerback i'm really surprised that they're not getting the opportunity to put drew techman to the wide side of the field with so much space third and ten love it backpedaling throwing incomplete irwin and techman both there and now it's fourth down put techman to the wide side of the field i put them they're putting them into the to the boundary every time they've thrown four of the last five passes to the boundary all right guys we're gonna start filling in the 7a bracket mill creek held on 31-28 so they will advance to play grayson coin flip location to be determined fourth and ten i'm throwing to the wide side of the field though i mean if i if i'm north cobb here crossing route to techman not going to get there ball's gonna go over on downs yep techman lined up to the boundary again randa they ran a middle screen for him and i just wasn't able to get there that justin ellis number nine again well you'll see him coming into the screen from the left he was lined up to the left side to the short side of the field they tried to run him to the wide side of the field on the middle screen once successful because roswell defenses they've kind of picked up their keyed pretty much on tekken right now they're deducting the job north cobb has two timeouts remaining nothing doing for sheldon evans langston parker making the tackle there too now you got to try to rip it strip got to do what you got to do to try to get the ball out pop it out do whatever you can do if you're on north cobb roswell ball security is at a premium second down and nine let's see if north cobb burns time out here all right guys let's kick it into some other classifications you see right there this game has been back and forth all night coffee has been coming back dalton as time had stopped only briefly dalton leading 30-28 they're trying to run out the clock right now as you see under 90 seconds to go harmonfield from bill chapel stadium the catamounts on their way to the semis if they hang on it's been a long time for the catamounts they haven't won a state title since 1967. it's a long time roswell won the state title in 2006. they've won three of them 1968 1970 and 19 and then 2006. they will move one step closer it appears to challenging for another the team that knocked him out last year colquitt county they have been eliminated from the playoff field tonight by grayson and it looks like roswell will play westlake in the semifinals next friday night they'll have a coin toss to determine who the home team will be but the home field that still has to be determined explain to me a little bit nelly about that home field how does that work where you have to move to a neutral site why and how to explain that to me let's kick it nelly well i'd like to okay here we go it has to do as you get later on into the playoffs with how many people you can fit into a stadium right and the way that ray maynard stadium is it seats about 4 000 people there are minimum requirements for attendance figures i think it's 6 000 man for this for the semifinals and if you don't make 6 000 you got to find another venue willis off to the races techman's got an angle on him won't get him 72 yards malik willis with the finishing touches on what has been a spectacular night for him again i go back to our kamatsu forklift keys to the game we talked about them having to lay hands is the way i described it on malik willis you gotta you had to slow him down you know you had to pressure him on the throws they weren't able to really do that he threw for multiple touchdowns on the ground he had one call back what was it 50 yards he had a 50 yarder call back you just saw this electrifying run i mean this kid right here is just an electrifying player and he's just been a stud today 42-21 malik willis has thrown three touchdown passes and run for two others i mean he fakes it inside and you see right here when he puts the head back y'all you know i described when that head go back you roll it espn three star athlete plays quarterback for roswell recruited by virginia tech as an athlete shows the hokies are there over 12 other offers well the hokey's got a good one here man he's uh an athlete you see he's definitely an offensive weapon do lots of different things i mean he's fast he's quick he's tough he's done an excellent job today and um i'm not surprised and get this when roswell plays westlake in the semi-finals next week malik willis will be going up against the team and the school he transferred from how about that westlake that'll be a little special don't you think that will be special for both sides yeah we better get ready cause you know the boy's gonna be trying to come get him that's just part of it just gonna give him a couple of hugs but but westlake got to know that he ain't gonna be by himself almost 300 yards of offense for malik willis tonight yeah he's he's a baller i mean this has been a great game both teams have competed but uh roswell they're the better team and north cobb that's had a special season until tonight they had won six in a row been playing great football looks like their run will end here tonight yeah they had a great year you know they got after it and i mean what else can you say i've been really impressed by up from cj cole to will love it to all bright the gathers all the guys got after it but you know again sometimes you got to go through these things to get to that next level this is one of the you know one of the best years they've ever had but they basically ran into a firestorm of a team that's motivated to go to where they haven't been well a team that has the wherewithal to pull away when the game's on the line that's right that's what roswell was able to do tonight strozier tyler queen he'll be dressing for the auburn tigers there in the iron bowl tomorrow he's a member of that auburn team all right star quarterback coach's son he took him to the semifinals in 2012 this team is going to come up one win short of that tonight who you liking that iron ball oh you like that i'm serious you can't even you just gotta laugh with me right now the way they beat people it's ridiculous because i was at the game when they played tennessee man they beat us so bad man me and my son chucky read the game man when bama first came out of the tunnel with naylan i was like oh man my son was like wow dad they got big r they're big they've got big rings too covered by roswell at the 36. that's wrap max boyd with the fumble recovery and so roswell is now 69 seconds away from playing in the semifinals for the second straight year just a miss handoff between two guys that this probably happens rare but you know again when things are going your way like they're going for roswell you know you make your own breaks nice job right there good effort good job by boyd six foot 260 pound senior number 34. gets to advance in the playoffs nothing like advancing man i'm gonna tell you my years at clark central i mean there was nothing like it when you were it was just the whole community is fired up you know everybody's into it it just makes school days go by faster it makes everything better when you get to move on in the playoffs it's just a community event you know that's good to see there was a lot of talking going on before the game even with assistant coaches not the players but the assistant coaches tonight but it's good to see the guys hugging here as the final seconds are wearing out they know that they were in a fight both teams did north cobb gave them a good run there in the second half when it appeared they had nothing in the tank at halftime made a valiant effort to get back in this game and make it a game going into the fourth quarter but roswell is now 13-0 and on their way gary play against westlake you know my uh oldest child giovanni with the west lake so she's gonna sure gonna be at the game they're gonna be fired up you know down in southwest atl and it's going to be a great game that will do it roswell has now won 27 of their last 28 games what an incredible job john ford has done with this roswell program chuck five years ago in 2011 roswell went 0 and 10. really 0 and 10 and they have now won 27 of their last 28 games well obviously coach ford has done an excellent job it always starts at the top starts with the coach starts with the kids and the community and you know give roswell a lot of credit i mean anytime you you don't want a game you come back and have this kind of success it's much deserving good job today matt it's good working with you as always happy thanksgiving to you and everybody watching here tonight semifinals are next week be tuned in to us on social media twitter facebook will be making the announcement on our game for next friday

right down here with coach ford who's given a lot of props to a team that puts you through your paces tonight yes sir uh north cobb we knew all week they had great players well coached they play hard you can tell they do a lot of things right over there coach queen and his staff are to be commended on a great season with a great team and we're very fortunate and grateful to come out on top and let's talk about late third early fourth quarter it was 21-0 everything's humming they come back 21-14 what was it like on the sidelines having the guys just reorient and get back to square we talked at halftime that we knew they'd make a run and that they we knew they had you know whatever their whatever their best right punch was going to be they were going to throw it and we just had to weather the storm and and some great players made some great plays for us and so we're uh we're real proud of the resiliency of our kids all right how much time do you give yourself to celebrate or is it even past that point now getting into a semi-final we're real uh thankful and humble to uh to be playing in december again and uh we'll enjoy tonight and then we get back to work on a great westlake team in the morning see there i was gonna say i didn't know if you knew but so with social media and phones it's can't keep secrets these days all right congratulations go celebrate for a minute or two thank you john thank y'all all right all right i think we're gonna be talking to a quarterback in just a bit so the post game show starts right now hi again everybody and welcome to gbb football fridays in georgia post game show at the beginning of the day there were 64 teams and eight classifications at the end of today there's going to be 32 teams left and eight classifications a final four teams heading to the semi final we had a great game tonight between north cobb and of course roswell and it didn't feel like 20 points stood between these two teams northcott really making a comeback fighting hard there in the second half and it was pretty close but then roswell just was too strong a lot of drama and then they came on let's check out the early highlights in this game and early on it was all roswell taking charge it's malik willis he's back to pass number seven finds corey reed open corey reed breaks the tackle scoots into the end zone to put roswell up 7-0 then it's malik willis hits jayden common the corner of the end zone 14 to nothing second quarter malik willis he keeps it right up the middle 25 yards makes it 21-0 at the half now the third quarter was all north cobb will love it to drew techman techman goes 82 yards he will not be caught cuts the lead to 21-7 and then it's north cobb again it's will levitt 17 yards same guy drew tekman he scores and we got a ball game 21-14 heading into the fourth quarter then in the fourth quarter it turns out to be all roswell sheldon evans right up the middle will not be denied he makes a touchdown to make it 28-14 and a little bit later it's malik willis to christian ford the long pass here comes ford running like a cadillac makes it 35-14 and right there the hive pump and it's 22-21 your final score right there as roswell goes to 13-0 on the season now let's check in with john nelson now let's check in with jackie with social media then all right let's get to a few tweets that we had this was our poll we had on twitter going all night long and as you can see the majority went back to roswell 71 percent they ended up coming out strong tonight our furthest viewer was dan fox watching all the way from san fran on our gpb sports app for free in the app store but we had some other fans watching james chiming in cheering on the hornets in blue mountain beach florida i'd like to be on a beach right now then deanna chiming in showing her support robert saying that's why football game is four quarters some teams are physically in condition for four whole quarters so a good game out there by both teams and a great win for the hornets tonight now let's go to the gpv play of the game you can really pick your poison between these two teams but we're gonna give it to xavier mckinney really the entire defense but look at that strip he just completely takes it away we'll love it looking for the open man who finds it ends up taking the ball away there you go xavier mckinney and the roswell defense for the play of the game now let's go to john nelson with the player of the game john and i think we yeah you got it malik okay actually hang on to that even though we're not showing it so uh guess you couldn't figure out who the player of the game is because according to coach ford he's okay what was it like i know that thanksgiving week is a little odd when it comes to practicing i know everybody wants to practice on thanksgiving week but what was it like getting ready for this particular matchup it just took a lot of hard work preparation you know we had to worry about us and not really worry about the other team we knew they had good players and we had good players as well we had to just make our craft better we had to get better make sure we do anything to the best of our ability now you had the big lead early then they came back what was the vibe like on the sideline when they're coming close and they recover the onside kick and all that uh we just try to keep it calm you know play our game because everything happened for a reason and we just keep playing one play at a time okay that's a nickel to me when the interview is over because you went bull durham cliche there those aren't allowed in these interviews this is you and me talking now and so he's okay as our player of the game we owe you a trophy we owe you a trophy you're getting hardware so we'll get there so let's go to the set we got brackets coming up in just a sec here's an okay quarterback who's going to the semis mark don nelson thanks very much well deserved he played a whale of a game couple of running touchdowns three passing touchdowns i mean he did it all that's why i say you know the with the play of the game you really can just pick your poison between their offense and their defense obviously sheldon evans a little bit banged up but he did a really good job tonight obviously plowing through there makes a big difference you can tell when he's in the game but really they have a lot of threats offensively but their defense just came up huge tonight i'm really impressed with what they were able to do um against you know drew techman and will love it and that whole crew and no other team i think this season has scored over 14 points on that roswell defense yeah and you know you kind of wondered the beginning of the season with you know trey lamar going off to clemson kind of what it was going to look like but they haven't missed a beat at all they've been pretty tough all year long xavier mckinney i mean and matt was talking about it earlier just that entire secondary it's pretty tough to go up against all right let's check out the scores from around the great state of georgia on the georgia's emc scoreboard and we've got grayson top ranked knocking off caulkwood county the two-time defending champions there will be a new champ in the highest classification grayson winning it 49-21 in at caulkwood county westlake knocks off lounge 24-21 on a last-second field goal that you saw right here on football fridays in georgia it's mill creek a field goal better than mckitchen in a wild shootout 31-28 it's tucker a touchdown better than maze 28-21 coach bryan lamar's team cruising along north side warner robin the knocks off glenn academy 42-20 it's valdosta knocking off stevenson 31-21 valdosta keeps rolling along elsewhere on the georgia's emc scoreboard we've got top right or we've got undefeated dalton knocking off coffee 30-28 it's stockbridge unbeaten knocking off griffin 41-34 buford rolls on beating carrollton 34-27 cartersville undefeated in 4-a the defending champs they beat woodward academy 26-15 thompson is undefeated this season they beat spaulding 30-7 and gac and a wild one over liberty county 44-38 and now it's time to go to the maestro of matchups the bishop of bracketology the night of the next round it is john nelson on the road tonight is the next round k-n-e-x-t all right here we go 7-8 here's your rundown roswell you saw that west lake you saw the ending on the game-winning field goal grayson and mill creek that's a coin flip we don't know where that will be when we do we'll let you know on the facebook page so guys that's 7a roswell west lake we got a one we got a one we got a one and a one what do you think huge matchup there yeah that mill crate grayson is gonna be great number one rank against number two ranked yeah i mean and you know grayson and jeff herron chase bryson company just really having their way against the packers tonight all right let's see what the 6a brackets look like 6a it is tucker beating mays it is northside warner robbins going to brunswick knocking off glenn academy putting 45 on the red tears valdosta wins by 10. dalton beats jackie who coffee that's what i thought so you got those for a long time dalton in there for the first time in a long time what do you think you know the catamounts are undefeated they've had a sensational season they're taking off valdosta ranked number one in 6a i like that matchup for a great semifinal round and how about tucker i'm impressed with what they've been able to do they overcame a lot of injury issues from last year and they've really been strong throughout the entire season now making their way through the postseason you know coach brian lamar's team lost in the first game of the season i think at the corky kel and then run the table since what do you got in 5a 5a stockbridge survives griffin rome puts a big number on where county tonight so that is a coin flip one and one there buford survives carrollton that's a one and kell comes through so they go to tom ryden so buford gets the home game a coin flip on the left what do you think okay stockbridge unbeaten they're taking on rome who's had a good season you've been up there already yeah with the with the triplets and with the triplets and the big family there john reed has put up a stout defense and so you're going to have big defense with rome big offense with stockbridge on the left-hand side you know buford of course jeff simpson they know all about winning in the georgia dome and of course they'll take on kell yeah well i'm

a one cedar grove goes to calhoun and knocks off the yellow jackets at the reeve so cedar grove travels to cordial that's going to be a pack of lunch and a dinner and a coin flip on the left-hand side in triple-a what do you think i tell you cris county is the only undefeated team in triple-a and they've had a good season i don't think they're getting enough credit because they run the table and still a lot of people talk about gac and other schools yeah interesting to see you know the season that davis mills has had with gac a lot of great quarterbacks making it to this part of the season but we'll see who kind of ended up being the final ones at the final game and let me give a shout out to the ghs tommy whittle because he said watch for cedar grove and here they are in the final four
