>>> FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA, PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY, REMINDING YOU TO BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.

AS WE WELCOME YOU TO FARING FIELD IN SUWANEE TONIGHT.

THE AND THE GRAYSON RAMS TAKE ON THE COLLINS HILL EAGLES.

AND GOOD EVENING.

I'M MATT STEWART, JOINED BY FORMER TIGERS ALL-AMERICAN, NFL DRAFT PICK AND 15-YEAR PRO.

WON BY GRAYSON, 38-14 A YEAR AGO.

BUT WHILE COLLINS HILL BRINGS BACK ALL THEIR PRIME-TIME PLAYERS, THIS IS NOT THE SAME GRAYSON TEAM WE SAW LAST DECEMBER.

>> THEY'RE GOING AFTER THE RAMS TONIGHT.

SHOULD BE A GOOD GAME.

>> 13-0.

RANKED NUMBER THREE IN THE U.S.A. TODAY.

NATIONAL POLL.

AND YOU CAN'T TELL THE COLLINS HILL STORY WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT TRAVELS HUNTER, THE NUMBER ONE PROSPECT IN THE NATION.

FIVE-STAR CORNERBACK, PLUS WIDE RECEIVER, COMMITTED TO FLORIDA STATE.

>> THE MATRIX HUNTER.

WATCH HIM MAKE THESE UNBELIEVABLE CATCHES.

HE'S SO DYNAMIC, FAST, TALL, LONG AND HE TURNS ROUND AND IS THE TOP CORNER IN THE COUNTRY.

WHAT A PLAYER IS TRAVIS HUNTER.

>> IT DOESN'T HURT THAT HE HAS ONE OF THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL QUARTERBACKS IN THE NATION THROWING HIM THE BALL.

FOUR-STAR NUMBER NINE RATED #QUARTERBACK IN THE NATION, COMMITTED TO MISSOURI.

>> LEAVE THE TOTAL TOUCHDOWNS BUT DON'T LET THAT POCKET PASSER FOOL YOU.

HE WILL PUT IT FAST ATHLETIC.

>> THEY'VE GIVEN UP ONLY 75 POINTS IN 13 GAMES.

THIS UNDERRATED DEFENSIVE END.

>> 96 TACKLES, LEAVE THE TACKLES FOR A LOSS.

17 SACKS.

SOMEBODY WITHIN 50 MILES OF WHERE I'M STANDING MAKE THIS KID AN OFFER.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE GRAYSON RAMS.

THEIR HEAD COACH SAYS THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT.

THAT'S AN ODD THING FOR A HEAD COACH TO SAY.

INCLUDING JAKE GARCIA, THE FOUR-STAR QUARTERBACK NOW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI.

FIGURING OUT HOW TO PLAY QUARTERBACK HAS NOT BEEN AN EASY TASK.

>> JUST TAKEN OVER.

NUMBERS DON'T TELL HIS EFFECT IT'S ABOUT GAME MANAGEMENT, AND BEING ABLE TO NOT TURN THE BALL OVER.

RAIN HAS A BIG JOB TONIGHT AGAINST THIS DEFENSE.

>> THE GUY WHO WAS THE QUARTERBACK BEFORE RAIN WAS A TOP SOPHOMORE ATHLETE IN THE COUNTRY.

THEY'VE MOVED HIM BACK THE SLOT.

>> AN EVEN BIGGER ROLE NOW TRYING TO GET ON THE EDGE.

THEIR MOST DYNAMIC OFFENSIVE PLAYER.

THEY'RE GOING TO NEED HIM TO MAKE SOME BIG, BIG PLAYS DOWN THE FIELD.

>> THIS WHOLE GRAYSON TEAM IS YOUNG.

THEY HAVE ONLY SENIOR STARTERS ON DEFENSE.

TOP-RATED PLAYER ON THE TEAM.

HE'S SAFETY.

>> VERSATILE, WITH GREAT COVER SKILLS.

SAFETY, LINEBACKER.

47 SACKS, AS A DEFENSE, 11 INTERCEPTIONS.

>> THEIR QUARTER FINAL WIN OVER ROSWELL.

NOW, THE THIRD MEMBER OF OUR TEAM IS WYLIE BALERED AND HE'S STANDING BY IN SWINY.

WYLIE.

>> WELL, YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HIT.

THEY'VE DOMINATED EVERYONE THEY'VE FALSED.

FLUSHED WITH TALENT AND WHAT ELSE IS LEFT TO TELL?

HOW ABOUT AN UNDERAPPRECIATED SENIOR?

WHEN I SPOKE TO COACH LEONARD GREGORY ABOUT HIM, HE SAID HE'S THE KEY DEFENSE TO THE DEFENSE'S SUCCESS THIS YEAR.

HE FILLED IN WHEN HUNTER WENT DOWN WITH AN INJURY IN EARLY OCTOBER.

SUFFICE TO SAY A PLAYER LIKE AARON HORTON CAN MAKE A TALENTED TEAM INTO A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM.

AND FOR MORE ON HIGH STAKES ACROSS THE STATE, LET'S GO TO OUR MAN, JOHN NELSON, WHO HAS THE REST OF THE SEMIFINAL ACTION IN GEORGIA COVERED.

>> 13 OF THE 32 TEAMS PLAYING TONIGHT HAVE BEEN IN THIS POSITION BEFORE.

BUT IT'S BEEN A WHILE FOR TEAMS IN CEDER TOWN, WHO HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN TWO DECADES.

FOR TEAMS, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN HERE AT ALL.

HOW DO THEY RESPOND ON NIGHTS LIKE THIS?

GET YOUR PENS OUT.

AND TONIGHT THEY CLOSE IT ALL DOWN FOR THE FINAL TWO.

>> ALL OF TONIGHT'S WINNERS WILL BE HEADING TO ATLANTA.

FOR THE 2021 STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

FRRPGS YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO STICK AROUND FOR THE HALFTIME SHOW WHERE JOHN AND I WILL TAKE A LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE TEAM IN ACTION.

OF COURSE, OUR LAST POST-GAME SHOW OF THE SEASON HAS BEEN SO FUN TALKING TO THESE COACHES LIVE AS THEY COME OFF THE FIELD.

WE'LL BE DOING IT ONE MORE TIME TONIGHT.

IT WILL BE YOUR LAST LOOK AT BRACKETS.

WE'LL ALSO HAVE THE SCHEDULED EVERYTHING HAPPENING THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY RIGHT HERE ON GPB SPORTS.

>> ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, HANNAH.

GRAYSON HAVE ELECTED TO RECEIVE.

THEY WON THE OPENING TOSS.

7 A OF COLLINS HILL MAKES ITS ENTRANCE ON TO THE FIELD, THROUGH THE SMOKE MACHINE, DOWN THE FIELD AND READY TO GO.

THE REGION 8, 7 A CHAMPIONSHIPS.

FIRST ROUND, THEY THROTTLED PEBBLE BROOK LAST WEEK.

WIN ON THE ROAD AND BEAT NUMBER FIVE LOUNS 49-7 IN VALDASTA.

>> UNREAL DEFENSE THIS YEAR.

NO LESS THAN SIX POINTS OF GAME THIS COLLINS HILL EAGLES DEFENSE GIVES UP.

A LOT OF MAN-TO-MAN PRESSURE COMING ON THAT LINE.

>> AND THE HEAD COACH LED THEM TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP LAST YEAR.

35-5.

51-12, FIVE SEASONS AS HEAD COACH.

HE WAS THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR WHEN THE WILD CATS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP THAT YEAR.

OPENING KICK OFF IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA.

BUCKLE UP GEORGIA SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES AND WE'RE JUST ABOUT READY TO GO FROM THE HILL.

EAGLES DECKED OUT IN THEIR BLACK AND GREEN.

GRAYSON IN THE WHITE JERSEYS, TRIMMED IN GREEN AND GOLD.

NINTH ALL-TIME MEETING BETWEEN THESE TWO TEAMS.

GRAYSON HAS WON SIX OF THE PREVIOUS EIGHT MEETINGS.

THREE TIMES THEY HAVE WON IN THE PLAYOFFS BETWEEN THESE TWO.

AND THE RAMS TAKE IT FROM THE FIVE.

AND THE RETURN BY MUMU AND THAT'S WHERE THE RAMS WILL START ON OFFENSE, UP AROUND THE 30-YARD LINE.

>> THIS IS RAM OFFENSE, TRY TO ATTACK THIS DEFENSE.

YOU LOOK ACROSS THE BOARD, ATHLETES EVERYWHERE, PLAYMAKERS, WHAT A BIG JOB HERE TONIGHT.

THE FIRST THING THE GRAYSON RAMS HAVE TO DO IS GET THE RUN GAME GOING.

>> LOOKS LIKE LANE FRY WILL NOT START THE GAME AT QUARTERBACK.

THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO GO WILD CAT HERE, WHICH IS NOT UNUSUAL.

THEY RUN THE BALL A LOT.

SO, FRY, THE STARTING QUARTERBACK, WILL BE ON THE SIDELINES OF THE OPENING PLAY.

AND JOJO STONE GETS JUST A COUPLE OF YARDS, IF THAT, ON THE PLAY.

AN INTERESTING START FOR THE RAMS AS RAIN FRY DOES MAKE HIS WAY ON THE FIELD.

HE'S COMPLETED JUST UNDER 66% OF HIS PASSES, FOUR TOUCHDOWNS AND FOUR INTERCEPTIONS AND HE'S BEEN THE QUARTERBACK FOR BASICALLY THE LAST FOUR WEEKS.

THE LAST GAME OF THE REGULAR SEASON, AFTER THE BROOKWOOD GAME ON GPB, TOOK OVER AS QUARTERBACK AND BEEN THEIR QUARTERBACK FOR THEIR THREE PLAYOFF WINS.

AND A BIG RUN.

JOE TAYLOR.

GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME AS A SOPHOMORE IN THE 2020 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY A YEAR AGO.

AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE STARTING LINE UP, BROUGHT TO YOU BY REGIONS BANK.

UP FRONT, STROGS AND FLYNN.

BOTH BIG-TIME COLLEGE PROSPECTS.

THE SENIOR, COMMITTED TO GEORGIA.

THE BACKS AND RECEIVERS, THE AFOREMENTIONED JOE TAYLOR IS 1,000 YARDS RUSHING FOR THE SEASON.

>> AND AS YOU SAID WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A TEAM LAST YEAR THAT WENT VERTICAL A LOT.

THIS YEAR LIVING OFF THE RUN.

>> AND THE PASS INCOMPLETE.

JUMPING THE ROUTE ALMOST HAD A PICK SIX.

>> QUICK READ RIGHT THERE.

BIG BREAK BY RAIN FRY.

THIS DEFENSE, 17 INTERCEPTIONS ON THE SEASON.

YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL.

THESE GUYS ARE VERY AGGRESSIVE AND YOU HAVE 17 INTERCEPTIONS, THAT LETS YOU KNOW THEY WILL JUMP ROUTES.

THEY'RE NOT AFRAID.

THEY BELIEVE IN THEIR ATHLETIC ABILITY.

THEY HAVE TO BE SAFER WITH THE BALL.

GRAYSON.

>> THIS COLLINS VILL DEFENSE LED BY THE LINEBACKERS COACH.

SECOND DOWN AND TEN.

THE HAND OFF RIGHT BETWEEN THE TACKLES AND NOTHING DOING FOR JOE TAYLOR AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE REGENTS BANK STARTERS ON DEFENSE.

GEORGIA UP THERE ON IT DEFENSIVE LINE IS COMMITTED TO AKRON.

THE LINEBACKERS, DEON CRAWFORD HAS 12 OFFERS, INCLUDING GEORGIA TECH AND FLORIDA STATE.

AND JADEN DAVIS, BOUNDARY SAFETY A THREE-STAR, 12 OFFERS INCLUDING GEORGIA TECH AND TENNESSEE.

>> TAKING A LONG TIME TO GET THIS PLAY IN.

HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IN THE SITUATION, MIGHT WANT TO GET ON THE MOVE.

EXACTLY.

TRYING TO GET FRY OUT OF THE POCKET.

>> FRY THROWING ON THE RUN AND THAT'S GOING TO BE CAUGHT AT THE 43-YARD LINE FOR A FIRST DOWN.

KOOI BANKS, THE SENIOR WIDE RECEIVER, BEEN OFFERED BY PRESBYTERIAN WITH THE FIRST DOWN CATCH.

>> THESE ARE THE KIND OF PLAYS.

LOOKING RIGHT THERE, MAYBE TIE BANKS BROUGHT IT UP.

YOU'RE GO HAVING TO TO CHANGE THE LAUNCH POINT FOR FRY TONIGHT.

>> IF THERE WAS REPLAY, THAT MIGHT HAVE GONE THE OTHER WAY.

AND I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

A BREAK FOR THE RAMS.

FIRST AND TEN AT THE 42-YARD LINE.

SECOND DOWN AND TEN FOR THE FIRST DRIVE FOR THEM RAS.

TAYLOR'S GOING TO PICK UP DOWN TO THE 40-YARD LINE.

>> A LOT OF BLACK JERSEYS, POSTING THE BALL AND THAT'S HOW THEY LIVE FOR THIS EAGLES DEFENSE.

A LOT OF BODIES TO STOP THE RUN.

VERY CONFIDENT IN THEIR CORNERS AND SAFETY TO BE ABLE TO PLAY MAN, WHICH MAKES IT TOUGH.

YOU CAN STACK THOSE BODIES IN THERE.

NOT AFRAID OF THE PLAY ACTION FAKE.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, NOT A LOT OF RUNNING ROOM FOR THIS GRAYSON RAM OFFENSE.

>> HE'S STARTING AS NOSE.

THEY HAVE TWO OFFENSIVE LINEMAN AND DEFENSIVE LINEMAN.

THEY'RE STARTING BOTH WAYS.

JALEN GEORGE, SECOND DOWN AND EIGHT.

JOE TAYLOR, USING HIS BODY TO RAM IT IN TO THE 37-YARD LINE.

TAYLOR, 187 CARRIES, 956 YARDS.

AVERAGING 74 YARDS PER GAME RUSHING AND FIVE YARDS PER CARRY.

FOUR, 100-YARD GAINS THIS SEASON.

>> HE'S YOUR QUINTESSENTIAL MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER, CANDIDATE.

>> FEEL LIKE HE'S UNDERRATED.

BETWEEN THE TACKLES, PHYSICAL RUNNER.

HAS IMPROVED HIS SPEED.

HE'S GOING TO NEED IT AND RIGHT NOW YOU SEE THE RAMS OFFENSE WORKING THE MIDDLE, TRYING TO GET THE RUN GAME GOING.

>> A JUNIOR, 3.5 GPA AND THEY'RE THROWING THE BALL TOWARDS TAYLOR ON THE SIDELINE.

BUT HE GOT CAUGHT UP BY THE LINEBACKER.

>> NICE READ BY DEON CRAWFORD.

ONLY A JUNIOR.

YOU CAN PUT HIM AT SAFETY.

PUT HIM AT LINEBACKER.

NO CHANCE TO GET THIS BALL TO JOE TAYLOR ON THE WHEEL ROUTE ON THE OUTSIDE.

NICE COVERAGE ON THE THIRD DOWN BY CRAWFORD.

>> JALEN MILAN STANDING AT THAT 50-YARD LINE TO KICK.

AND MILAN'S KICK COMING DOWN AT THE 19-YARD LINE.

AND TAKES A BIG GRAYSON BOUNCE DOWN TO THE 6-YARD LINE.

AND SO, HE'S.

>>> ON FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA, EVERY WEEK WE GET A CHANCE TO GET A $1500 DONATION FROM OUR FRIENDS AT CIGNA.

COACH, THANKS SO MUCH FOR HAVING US THIS WEEK.

A THRILL TO WRAP UP OUR SEASON ON THE HILL.

>> WE'RE EXCITED TO HOST THE FINAL FOUR ON COLLINS HILL.

WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR GUWUNET COUNTY SCHOOLS.

>> GOT A FUN NIGHT HERE AT THE HILL.

LET'S GO BACK TO WAYNE AND MATT.

>> THANK YOU, WYLIE.

DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THEY TAKE A SHOT RIGHT HERE TO TRAVIS HUNTER.

HE'S LINED UP AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCREEN SINGLE COVERAGE THERE.

>> MODERN DAY FOOTBALL ON YOUR OWN FIVE-YARD LINE.

SPREAD THEM OUT, YOU KNOW?

SPREAD THEM OUT AND GET THE ATHLETES GOING.

>> AND MOVEMENT ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE LEFT GUARD.

>> ON THE OFFENSE, HALF THE DISTANCE TO THE GOAL, STILL FIRST DOWN.

>> CHRIS MOORE, OUR REFEREE AND THERE'S A LOOK AT THE REST OF THE OFFICIATING CREW, WORKING THE 7A SEMIFINAL.

HANDOFF.

GAIN OF ABOUT THREE ON THE PLAY.

THAT WAS SPENCER ANDERSON GETTING THE FIRST CARRY OF THE BALL GAME.

THEIR OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR, DANTE WILLIAMS, CEDRIC WILSON AT RIGHT TACKLE, COMMITTED TO VMI.

THE RECEIVER, RYAN STEVENS, THEIR TOP RUSHER, RIGHT AT 700 YARDS ON THE SEASON.

SPENCER ANDERSON ON THE CARRY.

>> NICE JOB ON THAT LEFT SIDE OF THE LINE.

NICE JOB BLOCKING FOR TRAVIS HUNTER, GOING DOWN TO GET THE SAFETY TO SPRING ANDERSON RIGHT HERE AT THE END.

LOOK AT THE FOOTWORK, GETTING TO THE OUTSIDE.

CUTTING UP.

WHAT A BIG TIME HE'S SHOWING TO BE THIS SEASON.

>> THAT WAS CHASE GNASH THAT TIME.

SECOND DOWN AS EAGLES GO UCH TEMPO FROM THE 26.

INCOMPLETE.

TRYING TO THROW UNDERNEATH RIGHT THERE.

>> AND THERE'S TRAVIS HUNTER THAT GIVES THEM THE ABILITY TO SPREAD IT TO THE GROUND.

VERY DANGEROUS IN THE PASSING GAME.

>> YOU SEE THE NUMBERS FOR HORN, OVER 240 YARDS PASSING THIS SEASON.

32 TOUCHDOWNS, EIGHT INTERCEPTIONS.

HE'S THROWN FOR 7,223 YARDS IN HIS CAREER AND 73 TOUCHDOWNS.

THIRD DOWN AND FOUR.

SWING IT OUT TO ETHAN DAVIS.

HE HAS THE FIRST DOWN, UP TO THE 38-YARD LINE.

HERE'S A LOOK AT THE GRAYSON DEFENSE.

IT'S BROUGHT TO YOU BY REGENTS BANK.

THEIR LEADING TACKLER ON THE DEFENSIVE LINE AND ANDRE FULLER IS JUST A FRESHMAN.

THE MIKE LINEBACKER IS JALEN SMITH, WHO SET THE ALL-TIME TALKS RECORD FOR A SINGLE SEASON WITH THE RAMS.

AND IN THE SECONDARY, HE'S COMMITTED TO WEST VIRGINIA.

>> JALEN GEORGE PULLING FROM THAT LEFT TACKLE SPOT, KICKING OUT.

BIG-TIME BLOCK.

OFFENSIVE FAST PACE.

AND AS WE TALKED ABOUT, A LOT OF TOYS IN THIS TOY BOX FOR SAM HORN TO USE AND EVERYONE WITH THE BALL IN THEIR HAND.

HE GOT IT TO THE TIGHT END A COUPLE OF PLAYS AGO.

HE'S VERY DANGEROUS.

>> AND A FIRST DOWN FOR THE EAGLES.

SECOND CATCH OF THE GAME FOR ETHAN DAVIS.

A FOUR-STAR AND THE NUMBER NINE RATED JUNIOR TIGHT END IN THE COUNTRY.

>> 6'3", 235.

ONLY A JUNIOR.

THAT MODERN-DAY TIGHT END.

USED TO BE TIGHT END SAID WERE O-LINE, FULL BACK AND NOW THEY'RE MORE RECEIVER.

>> Referee: TIMEOUT.

GRAYSON.

>> SO, GRAYSON CALLS A TIMEOUT AS COLLINS HILL HAS GONE UPTEMPO.

KIND OF A BASKETBALL TIMEOUT RIGHT HERE BY THE RAMS.

>>> PLAY POINT OF THE FIRST QUARTER.

KEYS OF THE GAME, BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF GPB HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

>> YOU GOT TO KEEP YOUR BALANCE.

AND FOR GRAYSON, YOU CAN'T LET TRAVIS HUNTER TAKE OVER THIS GAME.

YOU GOT TO CHANGE UP THE LOOK, THE COVERAGE.

MAKE SAM HORN GET SOMEONE ELSE TO BEAT YOU TONIGHT.

>> FIRST AND TEN FOR THE EAGLES.

THEY HAVE ADVANCED THE BALL FROM THEIR OWN SIX WHERE THEY STARTED THE DRIVE.

FIRST TIME HE TARGETED THEIR STAR WIDE RECEIVER.

>> HE HAD HIM A LITTLE THREE-YARD STOP ROUTE.

GET IT TO THE ATHLETE, COMING UP SHORT ON THE THROW.

>> HUNTER MISSED FIVE GAMES WITH AN ANKLE INJURY.

CAME BACK IN THE END OF THE REGULAR SEASON AND THE START OF THE PLAYOFFS.

AND HE HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL.

58 CATCHES, 900 YARDS, AVERAGING 912 YARDS PER GAME RECEIVING.

AND HE MISSED FIVE GAMES.

HAND OFF GOES TO SPENCER ANDERSON.

AND ANDERSON'S GOING TO GET WRAPPED UP AND STOPPED.

JUST A ONE-YARD GAIN.

DAREN McKENZIE, THE SOPHOMORE DEFENSIVE END MAKING THE TACKLE FOR THE RAMS.

>> JUST CLOGGING IT, TRYING TO PULL THE LEFT OR RIGHT GUARD.

PULL IT AROUND.

NOWHERE TO GO.

NICE HOLDING THEIR GROUND.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO.

HEED TO THE MAKE MORE IMPACT TONIGHT, STOPPING THE RUN.

ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SPENCER ANDERSON.

ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO GET IN YOUR SECONDARY.

AS MUCH AS HE'S ELUSIVE AND HAS BREAK-AWAY SPEED.

>> THIRD DOWN AND NINE FROM THE 42.

>> SOFT COVERAGE ON THE BACK END BY GRAYSON.

>> TAKING A SHOT TO THE NEAR SIDELINE AND OVERTHROWS TRAVIS HUNTER AT THE 21.

AND >> NO REAL PRESSURE ON SAM HORN TO DELIVER THIS BALL.

LOOKS LIKE HE'S STAYING ON THE FIELD.

FOURTH AND NINE.

>> MAYBE THE PUNT FOR THIS TEAM.

RIGHT NOW TRAVIS HUNTER.

AND MORE THAN AVERAGES 40 YARDS PER PUNT AND THE 11th KICK HE'S DROPPED INSIDE THE 20 THIS YEAR.

HE'S ALSO A STAR RIGHT-HANDED PITCHER.

WHAT CAN HE DO?

>> UNDER THE TOP PROSPECT IN THE COUNTRY AND I'M QUITE SURE HE WOULD LIKE TO GO OVER TO MISSOURI FOR THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

NO ONE REALLY SPOKE ABOUT THIS BEING A REMATCH AS WE TALKED TO THE COACHES THIS WEEK.

WE HAD COLLINS HILL HAS TO FEEL REVENGE IN ORDER TONIGHT TAKING ON GRAYSON.

>> AND RAMS GO BACK ON OFFENSE.

THE EAGLES ABLE TO FLIP THE FIELD AS THEY STARTED AT THEIR OWN SIX.

AND THEY HAVE THE RAMS STARTING AT THEIR 14.

AN ELDER GETS HIS FIRST CARRY OF THE BALL GAME.

AND TACKLED BY DORSEY AT THE 18-YARD LINE.

PLUS THERE'S A FLAG ON THE PLAY.

>> CLARK UP FRONT.

NO MOVEMENT.

JUST TO GET TO THE OUTSIDE.

>> HOLDING IN THIS SITUATION WHEN THE BACK START HAVE HADDING THE BACK -- BOUNCE OUT SIDE.

>> Referee: REPLAY FIRST DOWN.

>> RIGHT HERE AT THE 42.

TRYING TO SECURE THAT CORNER.

AS THE BACK BOUNCES OUT TO THE OUTSIDE.

JUST NOWHERE TO GO.

IN THE OPEN.

AND ARE YOU TEXTING?

>> I THINK HE'S LOOKING -- >> RIGHT THERE?

>> HE'S WATCHING IT PLAY IN FORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY IN TODAY'S GAME IS INCREDIBLE.

THEY SET UP THE SCREEN PASS WITH ELDER.

HE GOT A BLOCKOUT AT THE 20 AND GOT THE FIRST DOWN AT THE FIRST PLAY.

YOU GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR GRAYSON'S SCREEN GAME.

THAT'S A BIG PART OF THEIR OFFENSIVE GAME PLAN.

>> GETTING INTO SPACE.

OFFENSIVE ATHLETIC LINE.

THEY'RE YOUNG, PLAY OUT ON THE EDGE.

SECURE THE BLOCK.

NICE JOB THERE LETTING THAT DEVELOP AND GETBUG HIND THE BLOCKAGE.

>> THE ELDER AVERAGING JUST OVER 66 YARDS RUSHING PER GAME.

AS THEY MOVED IT OUT TO THE 26 AND NOW BIG JOE TAYLOR HAS A FIRST DOWN.

FINALLY DRIVEN OUT OF BOUNDS AND BEYOND THE FIRST-DOWN MARKER, THAT WAS THE EAGLES LEADING TACKLER RUNNING HIM DOWN.

>> DEON CRAWFORD GETTING CAUGHT LOOKING IN THE BACK FIELD.

YOU GOT TO KEEP CONTAINED.

NIELS JOB AS WE TALKED ABOUT JOE TAYLOR EARLY IN HIS CAREER.

BUT HE'S WORKED ON HIS SPEED, JOINED THE TRACK TEAM LAST YEAR TO START DEVELOPING A LITTLE -- AND NICE JOB BALANCING THE PLAY.

AS WE KEEP THESE DRIVES ALIVE.

>> FIRST AND TEN.

ANOTHER SCREEN PASS RIGHT THERE AND NEARLY INTERCEPTED.

AND BROKEN UP BY THE EAGLES.

>> 56.

>> DON'T NEED TO GIVE THEM ANY ADVANTAGE IN THOSE SITUATIONS.

>> AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE KEYS TO THE GAME.

PRESENTED BY THE OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF GPB HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

>> GOT TO SUSTAIN DRIVES IF YOU'RE GRAYSON.

WHETHER YOU'RE QUARTERBACK OR RUNNINGBACK.

COLLINS HILL'S DEFENSE GOT TO CONTINUE TO MEET THE PHYSICALITY OF THE BIG OFFENSIVE LINE AND TAYLOR AND ELDER.

>> I THINK THAT'S THE KEY RIGHT THERE.

IT'S A YOUNG GRAYSON TEAM BUT THEY PLAY PHYSICAL TEAM.

PHYSICALITY IS NOT SOMETHING THEY LACK.

>> ADJUSTING TO RUN THE BALL.

YOU HAVE THE OFFENSIVE LINE IN BACK, YOU DO IT.

>> OVER THROWS HIM, THROWING ON THE RUN AND NOW IT'S GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN.

AND NOW GRAYSON HAS THE OPPORTUNITY ONCE AGAIN.

>> THE EARLY ON IN THE FIRST QUARTER HERE.

AND GETTING OUTSIDE, ROLLING AND BACKING AWAY FROM THE PRESSURE.

ONE OF THESE TEAMS THAT YOU CAN'T JUST SIT BACK AND THROW THE BALL.

THEY HAVE GREAT PASS RUSH.

AND CAME IN THE GAME WITH OVER 50 STACKS ON THE SEASON.

>> HUNT BY MILAN COMING DOWN AT THE 25.

AGAIN, IT TAKES A GREAT GRAYSON BOUNCE.

THEY HAVE MASTERED THE BOUNCE ON THE TURF.

IT ROLLS DEAD ON THE 60-YARD LINE AGAIN.

GRAYSON SETTLING INTO A FIELD POSITION GAME.

THEY'VE DONE A VERY GOOD JAUP R JOB.

COLLINS HILL STARTS AT THE SEVEN-YARD LINE ON THE SECOND POSSESSION.

>> TALK ABOUT SUSTAINING DRIVES.

IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT PUTTING POINTS UP WHEN YOU TAKE ON A TEAM LIKE COLLINS HILL.

YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO MAKE THEM HAVE TO GO 70/80 YARDS TO DO SO AND SO FAR SO GOOD FOR THE GRAYSON RAM OFFENSE.

SO, FIRST AND TEN FROM THE EAGLES.

SPENCER AGAIN.

NOT MUCH RUNNING ROOM.

GAVE BUCK, THE LINEBACKER, MAKING THE TACKLE.

>> TALK ABOUT TRYING TO ESTABLISH SOME SORT OF RUN GAME FOR COLLINS HILL.

THEY'RE KNOWN FOR SPREADING THE BALL.

BIG-PLAY OFFENSE.

BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE, AS YOU CAN SEE, GRAYSON PLAYING VERY SOFT.

CORNER BACK PMPSZ ALREADY GOING TO BAILOUT POSITION.

>> FIRST DOWN FOR THE EAGLES.

BALL GOING TO ETHAN DAVIS.

20 OFFERS, INCLUDING GEORGIA TECH, OLE MISS AND TENNESSEE.

HE SET OUT LAST YEAR TO PLAY BASKETBALL AND CAME BACK OUT FOR FOOTBALL.

HE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.

>> I GUESS THE THREE-POINTER WASN'T FALLING FOR HIM ON THE COURT.

BUT HE IS A BAD BOY AT THAT TIGHT END POSITION.

TIGHT END, LONG CAN STRETCH THE FIELD.

>> RUNNING A SCREEN PASS RIGHT THERE FOR CHASE NASH AND NOT MUCH DOING RIGHT THERE AS WEGO UNDER TWO MINUTES TO PLAY IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

>> GUYS LIKE ETHAN DAVIS, YOU LIKE TO SEE COME BACK LIKE FOOTBALL, PLAYING MULTIPLE SPORTS HELPS THEIR CHARACTER AND THEIR BODY GET READY TO CONTINUE TO ADVANCE.

GOOD TO SEE THEM BACK ON THE FIELD.

>> SECOND DOWN.

HORN SCANS THE FIELD.

THROWING ON THE RUN AND FOUND THE MAN IN THE COVERAGE FOR THE FIRST DOWN.

GREAT JOB THERE, JUST SCANNING THE FIELD AND FINDING THE OPEN MAN.

COMPLETION GOING FOR COLBY ROGERS.

>> INTO THE BACK FIELD.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON SAM HORN.

YOU CAN PULL THE BALL DOWN AND RUN.

RIGHT NOW HE'S WORKING FROM THE POCKET.

>> GREAT PROTECTION.

AND INTERCEPTED AT THE 32-YARD LINE.

PICKED UP BY PEYTON HIDE ROVER.

>> GIVEN THE CHANCE TO START.

MILES WOODS OUT.

OVER TO THE DOG POSITION.

>> TRYING TO MAKE THE BIG PLAY, KEEPING HIS HEAD DOWN THE FIELD IS HORN.

JUST NOT ENOUGH ARM STRENGTH.

GREAT JOB.

ONLY 5'9".

THE HEIGHT OF THE CATCH.

AND EVEN ON REPLAY, I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE COUNTED THAT AS A CATCH.

SEEMED LIKE HE HAD HIS HAND ON THE BALL.

NICE JOB BY HIM.

>> HE HAD BEEN PLAYING ON OFFENSE IN THE SLOT POSITION.

AND THEN WHEN WOODS GOT HURT, HAD TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT.

THAT'S HIS FIRST INTERCEPTION OF THE YEAR AND THE TENTH FOR THE RAMS.

JOJO STONE ON THE DIRECT SNAP, PICKS UP A COUPLE OF YARDS ON THE PLAY.

>> JOJO STONE IS TAXING THE DISCIPLINE OF THIS TEAM.

GETS A SWITCH UP.

AS WE TALKED ABOUT.

ONLY THING IN THIS SITUATION.

GOT TO WATCH THE ABILITY TO THROW THE BALL BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN PLAYING QUARTERBACK FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE SEASON.

>> ADAM CARTER'S MESSAGE WAS NOBODY EXPECTED YOU TO BE IN THE SEMIFINALS.

SO, PLAY LOOSE.

THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'VE DONE THAT SO FAR.

OFF THE HANDS OF STONE.

INCOMPLETE.

NOW IT'S GOING TO BE THIRD DOWN AND NINE.

>> THIS IS WHEN THE STONE HAS TO COME DOWN WITH THE WIDE RECEIVER SCREEN OUT.

NICE DELIVERY THERE.

YOU GUT TO COME UP WITH THIS CATCH IF YOU'RE JOJO STONE.

>> LOOKS LIKE GRAYSON TAKING A PAGE OUT OF THE MICKEY KHAN PLAYBOOK.

IT WAS OVER A DECADE AGO WHEN GRAYSON WAS COMING ON THE SCENE.

THEY WERE PLAYING POWERFUL LOUNGE IN THE QUARTER FINALS.

WELL, THEY KEPT UP BY HOLDING THE BALL FOR 75% OF THE GAME.

AND GRAYSON 'S DOING THEIR BEST TO TRY TO MILK THE CLOCK.

AND GEORGE PICKING UP HIS NINTH QUARTERBACK SACK OF THE SEASON.

>> QUICK, INSIDE MOVE AND NOWHERE.

PRESSURE IN THE FACE.

JALEN GEORGE, OFFERED BY AKRON, 6'2".

JUST ONE OF THOSE HIGH MOTOR PLAYERS.

BIG-TIME PENETRATION BY HIM.

>> AND A GUY LENNY GREGORY CALLS THE MOST ATHLETIC LINEMAN HE'S EVER COACHED.

THAT'S HOW THE FIRST QUARTER COMES TO AN END WITH THE EAGLES' 55 SACK OF THE SEASON.

WHEN WE GET BACK, COLLINS HILL AND GRAYSON PLAYING FOR A SPOT IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND NO SCORE AFTER ONE QUARTER.

>>> START OF THE SECOND QUARTER.

THEIR LATE HEAD COACH, ALLEN FARING, WHO LED THEM TO THE SEMIFINALS FOR THE FIRST TIME BACK IN 2001 AND AS WE START THE SECOND QUARTER, IT'S FOURTH AND 17 FOR GRAYSON AND THEY'RE PUNTING FROM THEIR 23.

HE'S DONE A GOOD JOB SO FAR TONIGHT.

THIS IS HIS FIRST PUNT ALREADY.

AND ANOTHER GREAT BOUNCE.

THEY'VE GOT AT LEAST 15 AND 20-YARD BOUNCES ON EVERYONE OF THEIR PUNTS SO FAR.

AND GRAYSON BEHIND THE STRONG LEG OF MILAN HAS FLIPPED THE FIELD.

THAT WAS A 57-YARD PUNT WITH THE BUNS.

>> AND YOU HAVE TO LOVE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THE QUARTERBACK GOES AND BECOMES THE LONG SNAPPER AND COVERS PUNTS.

YOU GOT TO LOVE IT.

ON THE COVERAGE FOR GRAYSON.

BIG-TIME PUNTING AND RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE TO CHECK THE POCKETS OF GRAYSON.

THEY'RE KIND OF PLAYING HOW THEY HOPE.

JUST TO STICK AROUND AND CONSISTENTLY MAKE COLLINS HILL HAVE TO DRIVE THE BALL A LONG WAY.

>> SO, THE EAGLES, THIS IS THEIR BEST STARTING FIELD POSITION OF THE NIGHT.

THEY'VE STARTED AT THE SIX, THE SEVEN AND NOW THEIR OWN 20.

HUNTER, NO BLOCKERS OUT FOR THE SCREEN AND DROPPED BY MIKE DOUGHERTY.

THAT'S A GREAT MATCH UP OF FUTURE FIVE POWER FORWARDS RIGHT THERE.

>> JUST TRYING TO GET THE BALL IN THEIR BEST PLAYER'S HAND, TRAVIS HUNTER.

YOU CONSISTENTLY SEE THEM TRYING TO GET HIM GOING.

>> THE WAY THEY FIGURE, THEY CAN THROW THAT PASS WITHOUT A BLOCKER AND EVENTUALLY HE'S GOING TO BEAT HIS MAN AND GO.

FIRST TIME THEY'VE RUN HIM.

AND HORN A FLAG OUT AS HE GETS DROPPED AT THE 25-YARD LINE.

THAT WAS JALEN SMITH MAKING THE TACKLE FOR THE RAMS.

>> KOBE ROGERS OUT ON THE EDGE.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET HOLDING, TRYING TO SECURE THE BLOCK FOR THE QUARTERBACK.

>> Referee: HOLDING, ON THE OFFENSE, 10-YARD PENALTY FROM THE START OF THE FOUL.

REPLAY SECOND DOWN.

>> THE EXPERT OF THE HOLDING CALL.

I CAN KIND OF SEE IT WITHOUT EVER ACTUALLY SEEING IT.

THIS IS SPECIFIC SPOT, SPECIFIC PLAYS.

>> BRINGS BACK MEMORIES, RIGHT?

>> BRINGS BACK MEMORIES.

>> SO, THE PENALTY BACKS THE EAGLES UP TO THE 14-YARD LINE.

STILL YET TO SEE THE NUMBER ONE RUNNING BACK ON THE DEPTH CHART, RYAN STEVENS.

HE'S NOT BEEN IN THE GAME YET.

ANDERSON SETTLES INTO COVERAGE.

MAKES THE GRAB AND TACKLED BY DOUGHERTY.

LOVE WATCHING MIKE DOUGHERTY PLAY.

6'1", 165.

AND THEY PLAY AT A LINEBACKER SPOT BECAUSE THEY NEED TO BUT HE'S A SAFETY AT THE NEXT LEVEL.

>> HASN'T EVEN FELT THE BODY OUT.

AGGRESSIVE, 6'1", ONLY A JUNIOR.

SEEING WHAT THE COACH LOVES ABOUT HIM IS HIS IQ, HIS WILLINGNESS TO PLAY WHEREVER HE MEETS HIM THAT WEEK.

THAT'S A BIG THING, A GUY THAT WILL PLAY OUT OF POSITION SOME TIME.

>> THIRD DOWN AND 11.

GRAYSON DEFENSE HAS PLAYED WELL SO FAR.

CHALSED OUT OF THE POCKET.

NOW HE'S GOING TO RUN IT AND CLOSE TO THE FIRST DOWN AND I BELIEVE HE GOT IT.

AND THAT'S THE THING THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT SAM HORN.

HE IS SNEAKY ATHLETIC.

HE CAN TAKE OFF AND RUN.

HE'S AVERAGED 10 YARDS PER CARRY AND THAT PUTS HIM CLOSE TO 500 YARDS RUSHING FOR THE SEASON.

>> THEY'RE RUSHING FOR SAM HORN FINDING THAT SOFT SPOT AND SHOWING YOU THE CLASH OF SPEED THAT HIS COACH TALKED ABOUT.

HE SITS IN THE POCKET SO HE LULLS YOU TO SLEEP AS HE GETS A POCKET PASSER.

>> HUNTER AGAIN GETS DROPPED RIGHT AWAY.

ANOTHER GOOD-LOOKING GUY.

A THREE-STAR COMMITTED TO WEST VIRGINIA IN JUNE.

OVER 29 OTHER OFFERS.

>> FUN TO WATCH BALL STEALS AND WHAT A BODY OF 6'1", 180.

>> SPENCER ANDERSON CLOSE TO THE FIRST DOWN.

DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY SPOT, LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE IT TO HIM.

THAT WILL BE ANOTHER FIRST DOWN AS SPENCER ANDERSON, WHO CAME IN WITH 552 YARDS RUSHING AND CARRIED THE BALL THE BULK OF THE NIGHT, HAS BEEN ONE CARRY BY CHASE NASH AND THAT'S IT.

SPENCER ANDERSON HAS CARRIED THE LOAD THE REST OF THE NIGHT SO FAR.

THIRD AND ONE AND GRAYSON JUMPED OFF FIVE.

DAREN McKINSEY GOT ANXIOUS ON THE RIGHT EDGE.

>> Referee: ENCROACHMENT, ON THE DEFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

THERE'S ALSO A FIRST DOWN.

>> AND THAT'S A FUNCTION OF COLLINS HILL GOING WITH THE FAST-PACED OFFENSE.

YOU THINK THEY'RE GOING WITH THE HURRY UP AND GET THE SNAP OFF AND JOIN THE YOUNG SOPHOMORE TO PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN.

>> FIRST AND TEN, BALL AT THE 46.

DANCING THROUGH THE DEFENSE AGAIN.

THE NINTH GAME BY SPENCER ANDERSON.

>> NICE JOB BY MICHAEL DOUGHERTY.

LAST WEEK WE SAW IN THE GAME.

YOU HAVE TO STOP PLAYING.

HE GOT OUT OF THE WAY ONCE HIS HELMET CAME OFF.

AND SPENCER ANDERSON, ONCE AGAIN RUNNING BETWEEN THE TACKLES.

AND CONSISTENTLY, THEY PLAY THE SOFT COVERAGE, ABLE TO RUN THE BALL.

>> LAMAR GREGORY, THE JUNIOR NOSE GUARD THEY'RE HOPING OFF THE FIELD.

HAD A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF INJURIES THIS SEASON.

THEY'VE LOST FIVE STARTERS TO INJURY THIS YEAR.

APSTATE COMMIT AND A.J.

LOPEZ, COMMITTED TO HARVARD.

CHRIS MADDOX, WIDE RECEIVER, BRUNSON AND MOST RECENTLY, SAFETY MILES WOODS.

>> A LONG TIME TO GET THIS PLAY GOING.

LIKE THEY WERE IBA LITTLE GROOVE HERE.

I WANT TO COMMUNICATE FROM THE SIDELINE.

AND IT LINED UP.

NOT REALLY SURE MOVING BACK RIGHT HERE.

>> SECOND DOWN AND FOUR.

CAUGHT DOWN FIELD AND A BIG HIT ON TRAVELS HUNTER BUT DOES NOT SEPARATE HIM FROM THE BALL AS ZION FERGUSON PUT THE LICK ON HIM BUT THAT'S THE THIRD CATCH FOR HUNTER TONIGHT.

>> JUST FINDING THAT SOFT SPOT IN THE COVERAGE, OPEN MAN.

AND YOU CAN SEE THIS SECONDARY, THEY'RE TAKING ON THIS CHALLENGE OF TRYING TO STOP TRAVIS HUNTER.

WHEN HE HAS THE BALL, THREE OR FOUR JERSEYS COMING IN, TRYING TO PUT THE BIG HIT ON HIM.

>> AND RYAN STEVENS, THE TRANSFER FROM ROSWELL, THE BRUISER AT 6'2", 230 POUNDS.

>> GOING BACK TO THE SIDELINES.

A LOT OF COMMUNICATION.

THINGS THAT STAGNATING THE OFFENSE.

TRIPS RIGHT.

TRAVIS HUNTER AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN IN THESE SITUATIONS.

>> SIDE-ARM PASS TO THE SIDE AND HIS FIRST CATCH OF THE FIRST HALF.

>> AND YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE A TREND OF COLLINS HILL TAKING ADVANTAGE.

IS THE SECONDARY GOING TO PLAY THAT FAR OFF, YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE THE FOUR AND FIVE-YARD STOPS.

>> AND ADAM CARTER WAS FACED WITH A CONUNDRUM YOU CAN'T DOUBLE EVERYBODY, EVENTUALLY YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SINGLE COVERAGE ON TRAVIS HUNTER.

AND IF YOU GO SINGLE COVERAGE ON ETHAN DAVIS, THEIR -- GOING DOWN FIELD, LOOKING FOR HUNTER, TOUCHDOWN.

HUNTER PULLS IT DOWN FOR THE COLLINS HILL TOUCHDOWN.

AND EAGLES LEAD 6-0.

>> TRYING TO BEND BUT NOT BREAK.

BUT THAT'S HARD TO DO WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE KIND OF TALENT HERE.

LITTLE ROLL OUT.

NICE DELIVERY HERE.

LEANING HIGH INTO THE CORNER ROUTE AND YOU CAN SEE THE LEFT FOOT RIGHT THERE.

WE SAID THE MATRIXES, THE ONE, NEO.

AND THAT'S THE KIND OF PLAYS, BIG-TIME TALENT.

YOU WOULD IMAGINE HE CAN MAKE THAT PLAY.

>> IT'S A "SPORTS CENTER" NOMINEE.

A PHENOMENAL, INCREDIBLE CATCH BY TRAVIS HUNTER.

PUTS IT THROUGH AND COLLINS HILL HAS THE FIRST LEAD OF THE GAME.

7-0.

AND WATCH THE DISCIPLINE.

AND HE STICKS THE LANDING.

SIX FOR COLLINS HILL.

>>> WELCOME BACK TO THE HILL.

HALFWAY THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER.

NOW WE START THE TOUR OF THE REST OF THE STATE AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.

WE'RE GOING TO START IN SINGLE-A PUBLIC WHERE THERE'S A BIT OF A SHOCKER.

YOU SEE HOW THINGS ARE PROGRESSING WITH THESE FOUR.

IRWIN COUNTY AND WILCOX.

WILCOX HAD AN EARLY LEAD AT 7-6.

HALF WOOI THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER.

RIGHT NOW, 17-7.

FROM THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, BROOKS COUNTY HAS PUT 28 ON THE BOARD WITHOUT AN ANSWER SO FAR BY METER.

METER, HIGH-POWERED OFFENSE ALL SEASON LONG.

28-0.

BROOKS COUNTY.

BIG NEWS OUT OF SINGLE A.

>> NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

THE PREDICTION HAD METER PULLING OFF THE UPSET.

IT WILL HAVE TO BE A BIG COMEBACK AS BROOKS HAS COME OUT TO THE LEAD.

SKY BALL KICK'S COMING DOWN AT THE 23-YARD LINE.

SO, THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF MANAGING THE OFFENSE, KEEPING THINGS IN CHECK AND NOW THEY PLAY FROM BEHIND AND YOU HAVE TO OPEN IT UP A LITTLE BIT.

NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO THROW THE BALL ALL OVER THE PLACE BUT START OPENING IT UP A LITTLE BIT.

>> HE'S YOUR PLAYMAKER.

ONLY A SOPHOMORE BUT A BIG PLAYMAKER, NEEDS MORE TOUCHES AT THIS POINT.

>> BIG PLAY BY GEORGE.

THAT GIVES HIM A TSL AND A QUARTERBACK SACK TONIGHT.

>>.

>> GOING UNDERNEATH YOUR RIGHT TACKLE.

YOU WOULD THINK HE WOULD KNOW HOW TO BEAT THAT POSITION.

6'3", 245 BY THE SENIOR.

A BREAKOUT YEAR ON DEFENSE.

>> SECOND DOWN AND 12.

BALL AT THE 33.

ELDER, SECOND CONSECUTIVE CARRY.

VERY LITTLE.

REDWOOD MAKING THE TACKLE.

NOW THIRD DOWN.

>> NICE JOB REDWOOD, 23, WORKING HIS WAY DOWN THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

MAKING THE READ AND MAKING THE TACKLE.

THIRD AND LONG IS JUST HARD LANDING FOR EVERY TEAM.

GOT TO BE VERY CAREFUL, VERY AGGRESSIVE CORNER BACKS IN THE SECONDARY.

>> AINATEIVAL OF JAMAICA, BEEN PLAYING AMERICAN FOOTBALL FOR TWO YEARS.

COACH GREGORY PREDICTS HE'LL PLAY IN THE NFL ONE DAY.

FRY DOWN FIELD, ACROSS THE MIDDLE NCOME PLEAT.

LOOKING FOR BANKS.

AND IT'S FOURTH DOWN.

JALEN MILAN GOING TO HAVE TO PUNT FOR THE FOURTH TIME ALREADY TONIGHT.

>> TIGHT COVERAGE BY JADEN DAVIS.

THREE INTERSOECHGDSS ON THE SEASON.

THE THREE-STAR JUNIOR.

NICE JOB READING.

REALLY NOWHERE TO GO FOR THE BALL WITH FRY ON THE PLAY.

>> MILAN AND THE BALL IS DROPPED.

IT'S RE COVERED BY THE RAMS AT THE 31-YARD LINE.

MISTAKE ON SPECIAL TEAMS.

BY THE EAGLES AND GRAYSON TAKES OVER ON THE FUMBLE RECOVERY BY BELL, THE FRESHMAN.

>> FAIR CATCH.

MISPLACED THE BALL.

HE SEEMS LIKE HE HAS IT IN COMMAND.

HE SEES THE BALL THE ENTIRE TIME.

IN THIS SITUATION, THEY CAN'T SIT AROUND AND KICK FIELD GOALS AT ALL AGAINST THIS OFFENSE.

>> SO, THEY BLOW THE PLAY DEAD.

HE FINALLY GOT THEM SET.

FIRST AND 10 AT THAT 32-YARD LAIN.

LET'S SEE IF THE RAMS CAN CASH IN AFTER THE FUMBLE BY ROGERS.

ON THE END ROUND.

VERY LITTLE GAIN ON THE PLAY BY MASON HUMPFRY.

>> JOJO STONE RIGHT THERE ON THE HAND OFF.

SEEMED LIKE HE WANTED TO PULL THE BALL LATE, ALMOST OUT OF HUMPFRY'S STOMACH.

NICE JOB TAKING IT AND GETTING WHAT HE CAN.

NICE A LOT OF TIMES IN THE SITUATIONS, YOU SAW FRY COMING IN THE GAME AND TRY DOWN FIELD.

BUT YOU HAVE THIS TOP SNAUCH SECONDARY, YOU WANT TO STAY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF YOUR OFFENSE.

>> SECOND DOWN AND FIVE.

BALL AT THE 28-YARD LINE.

JOE TAYLOR.

DEON CRAWFORD.

RICARDO BRYANT, NUMBER 16, WHO GOT THERE AND SLOWED HIM DOWN.

>> THEIR LEADING TACKLER, 118 TACKLES ON THE SEASON, COMING INTO THIS GAME.

NICE PROSPECT IS HE IN THAT MIDDLE, HOLDING IT DOWN.

KIND OF OLD SCHOOL MIDDLE LINEBACKERS.

NICE TACKLE RIGHT THERE.

ONCE AGAIN CREATE THIRD AND THREE.

AND FRY, IN THESE SITUATIONS, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO START MAKING A COUPLE OF THESE PLAYS WITH HIS FEET.

>> BALL AT THE 26.

LINE TO GAME AROUND THE 22.

AND FRY GOING TO TAKE OFF AND RUN AND PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN BUT THERE IS A FLAG DOWN ON THE FIELD.

>> HE'S POINTING TOWARDS THE GRAYSON OFFENSE.

THAT WOULD BOW A BIG HIT ON THIS OFFENSE.

RAIN FRY NOT LIKING THE READ, GOING TO GET THE FIRST DOWN, PICKED IT UP WITH HIS FEET.

>> HOLDING, ON THE OFFENSE, 10-YARD PENALTY FROM THE START OF THE FOUL.

REPLAY THIRD DOWN.

>> SO, A HUGE PENALTY RIGHT THERE TAKES THEM OUT OF A THIRD AND MANAGEABLE, GOING TO MAKE IT THIRD DOWN AND LONG.

THEIR KICKER, JIMMY GONZALES IS SIX OF 12 ON FIELD GOALS THIS SEASON WITH A LONG OF 48.

BUT RIGHT NOW HE WOULD BE OUT OF FIELD GOAL RANGE.

SO, THIRD DOWN.

THEY'RE GOING TO GET FIVE BACK RIGHT THERE.

CRAWFORD, A LITTLE ANXIOUS.

JUMPS ACROSS THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

>> LOOKING AT THE QUARTERBACK.

RAIN FRY WITH THE COUNT.

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HIS AGGRESSIVENESS.

HE'S A PHYSICAL.

WANT TO GET INTO THE MIX.

>> SO, THIRD AND 14.

BALL AT THE 36-YARD LINE.

>> OUT OF DISCUSSION BETWEEN RUNNINGBACK AND THE QUARTERBACK IN THE BACK FIELD.

>> OUTSIDE, JOE TAYLOR NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CLEAR THE EDGE AND IT'S FOURTH DOWN.

GOING TO BE HARD TO RUN AGAINST THIS FAST COLLINS HILL DEFENSE.

NUMBER 32.

LEADING THE CHARGE RIGHT THERE AND NOW FOURTH DOWN.

LELT SEE WHAT THEY DO.

DO THEY GO FOR IT ON FOURTH AND LONG?

CERTAINLY YOU'RE OUT OF FIELD GOAL RANGE.

>> NICE JOB HOLDING THE END, MAKING THE BACK BOUNCE THE OUTSIDE.

THIS IS A BIG CALL.

IN THIS SITUATION.

COACH CARTER MAY WANT TO TAKE THE PENALTY AND PUNT AND NOT GIVE THIS EXPLOSIVE OFFENSE THE SHORT FIELD, TRYING TO GO FOR IT ON FOURTH AND 14.

>> SO, WHILE THEY DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, WE'LL STEP ASIDE AND GIVE THEM TIME TO DO THAT.

PLZ >>> 7-0, COLLINS HILL.

NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED LEADER IN ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, AFFORDABILITY IN STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT WITH MORE THAN 80 UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS AND MAJORS AND DOCTORAL PROGRAMS IN BUSINESS, CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND MORE.

DETAILS AT GO.UNG.EDU/LEARN MORE.

SO, WAYNE COMING OUT OF THE TIMEOUT.

LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL PUNT.

PLAY THE FIELD POSITION GAME, AS THEY'VE BEEN DOING THE ENTIRE FIRST HALF.

>> TRYING TO PIN THEM DOWN, 7-0 AT THIS POINT.

>> MILAN, THIS TIME, THEY'VE GOTTEN THE BOUNCE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE NIGHT.

THAT'S THE ONE TIME YOU DIDN'T WANT THE BOUNCE.

YOU WANTED IT STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR.

THIS TIME IT KICKS INTO THE END ZONE.

BUT LET'S CHECK THE FLAG.

>> ESPECIALLY YOUR GUNNERS TO GO DOWN THE GOAL LINE AND TURN AROUND.

TURN AROUND AND LOOK FOR THE BALL ONCE YOU GET AT THE GOALLINE ON A SHORT PUNT LIKE THIS.

>> HE DIDN'T PUT ENOUGH AIR TO DO THIS.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT, YOU GOT TO KICK IT HIGH IN THE AIR AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO RUN THE KICK COVERAGE.

MIGHT HAVE A COUPLE OF PENALTIES ON THIS PLAY.

GIVE GRAYSON A FIRST DOWN, A PERSONAL FOUL?

>> HOLDING, ON THE RETURN TEAM.

PERSONAL FOUL, UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS ON THE OFFENSE.

THOSE PENALTIES WERE OFFSET.

REPLAY FOURTH DOWN.

>> SO, INTERESTING CALL RIGHT THERE.

YOU WOULD THINK MAYBE THEY WERE FLIPPED THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

THAT THE HOLDING WOULD BE ON THE KICK TEAM AND PERSONAL FOUL ON THE DEFENSIVE TEAM.

BUT IT WAS CALLED THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

EITHER WAY, WE HAVE OFFSETTING PENALTIES AND A CHANCE AGAIN FOR THEM TO EXECUTE THE PUNT INSIDE THE 20-YARD LINE.

LET'S SEE IF HE'S ABLE TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE AIR UNDERNEATH IT THIS TIME.

A LITTLE BIT MORE AIR THIS TIME.

THEY'RE GOING TO TURN AROUND AND LOOK FOR IT AND THEY'RE GOING TO DOWN IT INSIDE THE FIVE.

EXLCHBT JOB THAT TIME BY THE GRAYSON PUNT COVER LK TEAM.

THAT WAS JALEN SMITH WHO GOT DOWN FIELD AND WAS ABLE TO DOWN THE BALL AT THE FIVE-YARD LINE AS WE CHECK WIN HANNAH TO FIND OUT WHAT'S COMING UP AT HALFTIME.

>> WE HAVE UMSETS IN SINGLE A PRIVATE AND PUBLIC.

WE WILL BREAK DOWN WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING ON EVERY INGLE TEAM.

THAT'S HAPPENING ON THE HALFTIME SHOW, PRESENTED BY REGIONS.

JUST 1:30 AWAY.

>> I'M GOING TO SIT ROAR HERE AND WATCH IT ALL AND FIND OUT WHO WE'RE GOING TO BE CALLING NEXT WEEK IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST NIGHTS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA TONIGHT AS WE DECIDE WHO PLAYS IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

THESE TWO TEAMS PLAYED AGAINST EACH OTHER LAST YEAR, BATTLING TO GET BACK NASTATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME THIS YEAR.

HORN GOING TO RUN IT FROM THE FIVE.

AND HORN STRETCHES OUT THOSE LEGS.

OUT ACROSS THE 40-YARD LINE AND AGAIN THAT ATHLETICISM, YOU APERHAPS HAVEN'T HEARD A LOT ABOUT BECAUSE UP UNTIL THIS YEAR, THEY HAVEN'T RUN WITH HIM THE A LOT.

>> RYAN STEVENS LEADING THE WAY.

AND LOOK AT THE SPEED RIGHT HERE BY BORN.

CHALLENGING THE SECONDARY TO RUN HIM DOWN.

AND WHAT THAT PLAY DOES IS GETS YOU OFF THE GOAL LINE AND NOW WITH TWO TIMEOUTS, YOU CAN START WORKING THE FIELD.

>> AND HORN FROM INSIDED THE TEN.

GOING TO SET UP THE SCREEN FOR ETHAN DAVIS.

HE GETS DROPPED AT THE FRAEVL-YARD LINE.

JALEN SMITH MAKING THE TACKLE FOR THE RAMS.

BUT THAT BIG-LONG RUN HAS GIVEN THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAYBE GET MORE POINTS OUT OF THE HALF.

THE CLOCK IS RUNNING.

>> IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHO'S IN THE BUNCH AT THE DIAMOND FORMATION AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN.

INSTEAD, THEY GO TO ETHAN DAVIS, WHO TRIPS AND FALLS DOWN AT THE 49-YARD LINE.

>> WHAT AN UPSIDE IS ETHAN DAVIS.

FOR LONG ARM, LONG BODY.

USING ONE OF THEIR TIMEOUTS.

COLLINS HILL.

YOU CAN SEE THE FRUSTRATION RIGHT THERE ON HEAD COACH, ADAM CARTER'S FACE.

AS YOU TALKED ABOUT AT THE BOTTOM, JUST CONFUSING THE SECONDARY IN THAT.

TRYING TO FIND THE MAN WHO GETS LOST IN THE SHUFFLE AS THE DIFFERENT ROUTES ARE RAN, GOING THROUGH THE ROUTES.

FIND ETHAN DAVIS.

>> AND YOU CAN'T DOUBLE EVERYBODY.

SO, YOU KIND OF FOLK ON TRAVIS HUNTER.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE COLLINS HILL EAGLES IS THEY HAVE OTHER GUYS CAN BEAT YOU.

I THINK THAT WAS CATCH NUMBER FIVE FOR HIM IN THE FIRST HALF.

54 CATCHES ON THE SEASON FOR DAVIS.

EIGHT TOUCHDOWNS.

AND THE COMBINATION OF ETHAN DAVIS, THE LEGS OF SAM HORN HAVE GIVEN THE EAGLES A CHANCE TO MAYBE PUT ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN ON THE BOARD.

>> AND THAT TIMEOUT LET SAM HORN BASICALLY DO WHAT HE WANTS ON THE FIELD.

IF HE FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE THROWING THE BALL, HE KNOWS HE HAS THE COMFORT OF A TIMEOUT.

ONCE AGAIN EGOING TO THE PUNT FORMATION YOU TALKED ABOUT UP TOP.

>> COLLINS HILL HAS NOT WON A GAME BY LESS THAN TWO TOUCHDOWNS THE ENTIRE SEASON.

THEY'VE WON BY AN AVERAGE OF FIVE TOUCHDOWNS EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT.

THEY THROW THE BALL TO TRAVELS HUNTER AND HE WANTS TO THROW IT BACK TO SAM HORN, WHO WAS WIDE OPEN AT THE 40.

SO, MY GUESS IS PROBABLY MAN DOWN FIELD.

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY JUST GOING TOO SOON.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE PATIENCE.

WE HAVE RIGHT GUARD.

54 DOWN FIELD BLOCKING.

FOR THE BALL WAS EVEN THROWN.

>> Referee: INELIGIBLE DOWN FIELD ON THE OFFENSE.

FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

REPLAY FIRST DOWN.

>> YOU SAW IN THAT SHOT OF LENNY GREGORY RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THERE, THERE'S CHRISTIAN HONEY CUT, WHO WAS ONCE THE HEAD COACH AT GRAYSON.

HE WAS THE HEAD COACH AT GRAYSON BETWEEN THE CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON.

OF JEFF HERON AND ADAM CARTER COMING ON BOARD AND LEADING THEM TO A CHAMPION.

>> I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY GRAYSON YEARS.

HE WANTED TO FOCUS ON HIS TEAM TONIGHT.

>> ROLLING, LOOKING DOWN FIELD AND FIRING A BULLET TO THE SIDELINE.

IT IS CAUGHT DOWN THERE BY TRAVIS HUNTER.

NOT SURE HOW HE CAUGHT IT BUT HE DID.

THEY'LL STOP IT AT 32 SECONDS.

>> NOT EVEN SURE SAM HORN WAS TRYING TO DELIVER THE BALL TO HIM.

THAT THE KIND OF TALENT TRAVIS HUNTER HAS.

THEY'RE LAUGHING ABOUT IT.

WERE YOU THROWING THAT AWAY?

I CAN'T TELL.

I MEAN, YOU CAN'T GET TIGHTER COVERAGE THAN THAT BY DIONFERGUSON AND HUNTER STILL CAUGHT THE BALL.

YOU PLAYED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

DO YOU THINK HE'S A WIDE RECEIVER AT FLORIDA STATE OR CORNER BACK?

>> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FLORIDA STATE, HOW YOU DON'T PUT HIM AT RECEIVER.

HIS ABILITY TO CHANGE THE GAME, HIS ROUTE RUNNING WE SAW IN THE FIRST TOUCHDOWN, THE CORNER ROUTE.

BALL SKILLS.

I KNOW HE TALKED ABOUT PLAYING CORNER, BEING THE NEXT DEON SANDERS WHERE HE WANTS TO GO, FSU.

BUT THAT'S GOING TO BEA BIG DECISION.

AND NOT NECESSARILY ONE THAT HAS TO BE MADE IN HIS FRESHMAN YEAR.

BUT WE SEE HIM IN THE GAME AND HIS IMPACT INSTANTLY SEEMS TO BE WHERE HE WAS POSITIONED.

>> THE DEFENSE IS SO MUCH GOING ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL AND IT'S A LOT OF TIMES NOT GOING TO HIS SIDE OF THE FIELD.

BUT HIS IMPACT ON OFFENSE IS OBVIOUS AND SUBSTANTIAL.

SECOND DOWN HORN GOES BACK TO THAT FAR SIDE.

IT'S CAUGHT BY CHASE NASH AND HE STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS.

28 SECONDS LEFT IN THE HALF.

>> NICE JOB, ONCE AGAIN.

SOFT COVERAGE IN THE SECONDARY AND THE UMBRELLA.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SCREEN, THE SECONDARY, YOU FIND THE UMBRELLA IN THE BACK AND YOU CAN SEE HOW SOFT THEY ARE PLAYING.

THEY'RE ALMOST GIVING UP AND THAT'S BEEN THE ENTIRE FIRST HALF.

THEY'VE GIVEN UP THE FIVE-EIGHT-YARD STOP ROUTES.

>> HORN FIRES.

CAUGHT BY ETHAN DAVIS FOR A FIRST DOWN AT THE FIVE-YARD LINE.

FIRST CATCH BY ETHAN DAVIS AND NOW THE EAGLES POISE THE SCORE A TOUCHDOWN BEFORE THE END OF THE QUARTER.

>> HORN'S GOING TO CLOCK IT RIGHT THERE, STOPPING THE CLOCK.

RIGHT ABOUT 17 EKDS TO GO.

>> ETHAN DAVIS, THE JUNIOR, FOUR-STAR, WILLING TO TAKE THE BIG HIT BY KADEN HIDE.

YOU CAN SEE HIM HOLDING HIS WRIST, FOREARM AREA.

6'2", 6 TLOIVL.

LOOK AT THIS ROUTE AND THE BALL BY SAM HORN.

TAKING THE BIG HIT.

AS THEY SAY, THEY'RE GOING TO HIT YOU ANYWAY.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL CATCH IT.

NICE JOB BY ETHAN DAVIS.

>> SIX CATCHES FOR 49 YARDS BY ETHAN DAVIS.

SECOND DOWN AND GOAL AFTER THEY CLOCKED IT ON THE FIRST SNAP.

>> HORNS, CHASE BY JALEN SMITH.

THROWS BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE.

JUNK BALL AND HUNTKERINATE COME DOWN WITH IT IN THE BACK CORNER.

>> TRY TOG GO A LITTLE ROLLOUT TO THE WIDE SIDE OF THE FIELD.

GOOD JOB BY THE DEFENSE.

DOES NOT LET HIM GET TO THE OUTSIDE.

BROKEN PLAY.

TRAVIS HUNTER, GIVE ME A TAN.

RAISE YOUR HAND.

AND IN THAT SITUATION, SAM HORN, AS COACH GREGORY SAID AND WE ELUDED TO DURING THE WEEK, THAT'S NOT A 50/50 BALL.

THAT'S MORE LIKE 9/10.

WE'LL TAKE TRAVIS HUNTER IN THAT SITUATION.

>> JUST PUNCHED HIM IN THE CHEST WITH BOTH FIRSTS AS HE CAUGHT THE BALL TO SEPARATE HIM FROM THE BALL.

THIRD DOWN AND GOAL, MATT.

HORN GOING THROUGH PROGRESSION.

LOOKING, FIRING, AND INCOMPLETE AGAIN.

TRYING TO GO TO SPENCER ANDERSON RIGHT THERE AT THE PILE ON.

AND NOW IT IS FOURTH DOWN WITH JUST THREE SECONDS TO PLAY IN THE HALF AND THEY'LL LIKELY BRING OUT IAN BONOCCI, THREE OF 11 ON FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS THIS SEASON.

>> GOOD DEFENSE BY GRAYSON.

STAYING HOME, NOT BEING FOOLED IN THE SET.

SAM HORN, GOOD PROTECTION.

JUST NOWHERE TO GO.

>> AND INKICK IS GOOD.

BANACCI STICKS IT THROUGH AND COLLINS HILL WITH A 10-0 LEAD AT HALFTIME.

ALL IN ALL, I WOULD CONSIDER THAT A VICTORY FOR THE RAMS NOT TO GIVE UP THE TOUCHDOWN RIGHT THERE.

>> 10-0 IN THE FIRST HALF OF GRAYSON THEIR COACH WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE THIS, IF HE COULD.

AND SHOWING SOME GRIT TO KEEP THEM OUT OF THE END ZONE ANDINATE LET THIS SCORE BE 14-0 AT HALF.

>> SO, COLLINS HILL NOW A HALF AWAY FROM GOING BACK THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME FOR THE SECOND TIME IN PROGRAM HISTORY.

AND A 10-0 LEAD ON GRAYSON HERE AT THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER.

AND NOW TIME FOR OUR COACH'S INTERVIEW WITH WYLIE AND LENNY GREGORY, PRESENTED BY, DDHDD.

>> THANKS, MATT.

FIRST HALF, YOUR DEFENSE PITCH AS SHUTOUT.

>> JUST PLAYING HARD, REALLY PHYSICAL AGAINST THE RUN GAME AND JUST RUNNING, PURSUING THE BALL AND TACKLING.

>> YOU'VE HAD A LOT OF LONG FIELDS OFFENSIVELY.

WHAT'S YOUR ASSESSMENT OF YOUR OFFENSE'S PERFORMANCE IN THE SECOND HALF?

>> HATS OFF TO THEM AND WE GOT TO BE PATIENT.

WE CANNOT TURN THE BALL OVER.

WE HAVE AN INTERCEPTION AND WE MUFFED THE PUNT THERE.

WE HAVE TO ELIMINATE THOSE ERRORS.

>> BEST OF LUCK.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANKS, WYLIE.

CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO JOIN US NEXT THURSDAY FOR THE FLAG FOOTBALL CALL.

STICK AROUND THE POST-GAME SHOW.

WE'RE GOING TO PREVIEW ALL THE CHAMPIONSHIPS, INCLUDING THE FLAG FOOTBALL GAME.

WE'RE GOING TO PREVIEW EVERYTHING GOING ON, RECAPPING EVERYTHING HAPPENING IN THE CITY FINALS.

SOME GAMES GOING TO HALFTIME, BLOWOUTS, SURPRISES.

STICK AROUND.

IT'S RIGHT HERE ON GPB.

>>> HEY, EVERYONE.

WELCOME TO THE HALFTIME SHOW.

COMING TO YOU LIVE IN ATLANTA, IT'S HALFTIME OF GRAYSON VERSES COLLINS HILL, FROM SWANNY.

EAGLES UP 10-0.

WE WANT TO GET RIGHT TO THE BRACKETS AND SCORES.

SO, I WANT JOHN NELSN TO GET HIS THOUGHTS ON THE FIRST HALF.

GRAYSON SEEMED LIKE THEY HAD CONTROL AND THINGS SLIPPED IN THE SECOND.

>> I THINK WITH GRAYSON, WHAT YOU WANTED TO SEE WITH THEM IS THEY NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE IN CONTROL OF THE CLOCK.

KEEP THE HIGH-POWERED OFFENSE OFF THE FIELD BUT WHEN THEY HAD TO DEFEND, MAKING SURE.

WAYNE GANDY TALKED ABOUT THE UMBRELLA COVERAGE YOU'RE WATCHING FROM THE SECONDARY, MAKING SURE EVERYTHING WAS HAPPENING IN FRONT OF THEM BUT NOT DEEP.

IA DID GET THE LEGS OF SAM HORN BREAKING THEM OFF TO GET OUT OF A JAM.

>> TAKE A LOOK AND FOLLOW ALONG.

THE WINNER OF OUR GAME WILL PLAY THE WINNER OF WALTON VERSES MILTON ON THE LEFT-SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THAT ONE?

>> 7-0 IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

A HOT WALTON TEAM COMING THROUGH.

THE THREE SEED KNOCKING OFF AND BEATING BIRCHER.

THEY'RE STILL HOT WITH THE EARLY LEAD ON MILTON.

>> WE HOPE TO TALK TO THE COACHES AS THEY ARE LIVE IN THE WINNER OF THAT GAME.

32 TEAMS IN ACTION.

WE'RE NAUROING IT DOWN TO 16.

ON GEORGIA'S EMC SCOREBOARD, IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN ELECTRICITY.

WE TALKED 7-A.

LET'S GO TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BRACKET.

HEWS UP 13-7.

>> WHEN WE CAUGHT UP WITH HEAD COACH, DANIEL BOON WILLIAMS, WE KNOW HE'S BEEN BATTLE TESTED, PUTTING 38 ON THE BOARD LAST WEEK.

LEADING THIS WEEK 13-7.

>> BOWFERRED UP OVER AND THEY DID IT AGAIN.

A BIG SURPRISE.

THE RESULTS, ONCE AGAIN, IN CONTROL EARLY AGAINST JOEY KING.

>> CLASSIFICATIONS 5A.

BLANKING CREEK SIDE AT THE HALF.

>> AND A LATE SAFETY IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

ROBBINS IN CONTROL.

>> I'M A LITTLE SURPRISED BY THIS ONE.

I DO HAVE AN UPDATED SCORE.

21-0.

>> YEAH, AND COAL SPEAR HAS A TOUCHDOWN TO HIS CREDIT FOR THE YELLOW JACKETS.

THESE ARE REGION RIVALS.

THIS IS YOUR TWO AND THREE OUT OF THE REGION THERE AS WELL.

>> 4A, CEDER TOWN, ALL TIED AT 14.

ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRACKET, UP OVER NORTH OCONEY, 21-17.

>> THAT ONE'S AT THE HALF.

REMEMBER, 48-17 IN THE REGULAR SEASON, BENEDICT WITH THE WIN.

>> BOTH GAMES IN TRIPLE A ARE 6-3.

LET'S MOVE ON TO DOUBLEA.

20-6.

>> I CAN UPDATE YOU ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE.

LEADING PIERCE BY 19-3.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT DOUBLEA, FITZGERALD IN CONTROL AS ONE OF THOSE ANGRY TWO SEATS WE TALK ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEIR GAME WITH SWANS BOROUGH FOR A TOUGH ONE IN THOMAS VILL TONIGHT.

>> A COUPLE OF UPSET ALERTS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT, JOHN?

SINGLEA PUBLIC.

28-0.

>> THAT ONE IS AT THE HALF.

BROOKS HAS BEEN IN CONTROL.

THEY HAVE BROUGHT THE HAMMER.

THEY'RE IN CONTROL ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE THERE.

AND WILCOX AND IRWIN IN CONTROL.

>> IRWIN TRYING TO GO FOR THREE IN A ROW, JOHN.

>> AND ON THE PRIVATE SIDE, EAGLES LANDING TRISTAN TRINITY.

TIED AT 14.

FELLOWSHIP CRISTION AVENUE.

THAT WRAPS IT UP FOR ALL OF THEM.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE'LL BE CATCHING UP WITH YOU ALL GAME LONG.

FOR SCORE UPDATES L THE LATERIST IS RIGHT HERE ON GPB.

WE HAVE MORE COMING UP RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>>> WELCOME BACK.

IT'S HALFTIME OF THE 7A SEMIFINAL GAME.

EAGLES UP 7-0.

AND THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE RECRUIT IN THE NATION, SENIOR WIDE RECEIVER AND CORNER BACK, TRAVIS HUNTER.

LET'S LOOK AT HIS HIGHLIGHTS.

>> SCORELESS IN THE FIRST.

SECOND QUARTER WE GO.

SAM HORN LOOKING FOR HIS FAVORITE TARGET IN HUNTER, WHO FINDS THE END ZONE.

WHAT A CATCH.

STICKS THE LANDING FOR THE FIRST AND ONLY TOUCHDOWN OF THE GAME.

HUPTER HAD FIVE CATCHES FOR 41 YARDS AND ONE TD.

WE'LL SEE HIM PLAY IN TALLAHASSEE NEXT SEASON.

I WAS ABLE TO INTERVIEW HIM A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HE SAID HE WANTS TO PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT NO MATTER WHAT TEAM HE'S ON, WHERE HE'S PLAYING, WHEN HE'S PLAYING, THAT HE'S THE BEST AND WILL MAKE HIS TEAM THE BEST.

WE'LL SEE WHAT HE CAN DO NEXT SEASON.

WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE COMING UP ON THE SHOW.

STICK AROUND.

>> THE PLAYERS ON THE FIELD PLAY HARD TO WIN THEIR GAME.

BUT IT'S HARD TO FIND TIME TO MAKE FITNESS A PRIORITY AND OUR LIFE SUFFERS.

HERE TO SHARE TIPS ON HOW IT GET THE WHOLE FAMILY HEALTHIER.

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO FOCUS ON IMPROVING FAMILY HEALTH?

>> HERE IN GEORGIA ONE OUT OF TEN PEOPLE HAVE DIABETES, MANY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THESE ARE, TO UNDERSTAND, THESE ARE PREVENTIBLE DISEASES AND IF YOU TAKE THE RIGHT PREVENTIVE CARE STEPS, THEY CAN BE AVOIDED.

>> WHAT CAN PARENTS DO TO MAKE HEALTHY LIVING A PRIORITY FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY?

>> TO GET THE WHOLE FAMILY ENGAGED, SO AFTER DINNER, TAKE A WALK, GO TO THE LOCAL PARK, GO FOR A HIKE.

IT'S NOT SO MUCH ABOUT THE EXERCISE AND GETTING A WORKOUT.

IT'S REALLY ABOUT HAVING QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY AND SOCIALIZING.

>> JUST GET EVERYBODY MOVING.

WHAT ELSE CAN PARENTS DO TO IMPROVE THEIR FAMILY'S HEALTH?

>> A GREAT BALANCED DIET IS GOOD FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY.

MAKE SIMPLE TWEAKS TO FAVORITE RECIPES.

LIKE REPLACING SOUR CREAM WITH GREEK YOGURT.

GOING THROUGH THE DRIEVL THROUGH, MAKE SURE YOU ORDER THE SIDE SALAD AS OPPOSED TO THE FRIES AND REDUCING THE TEMPTATION AT HOME.

MAKING SURE THAT YOU FILL THE PANTRY AND THE FRIDGE WITH HEALTHIER OPTIONS AND STAYING AWAY FROM THE SWEET TREATS.

>> I LOVE THAT GREEK YOGURT TRICK.

WHAT IS SOMETHING PARENTS MIGHT NOT KNOW?

>> IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT SWEETS IS JUST AS IMPORTANT FOR KIDS AS NUTRITION.

AN AVERAGE FIVE TO 12-YEAR-OLD NEEDS 11 HOURS OF SLEEP PER NIGHT.

THIS WILL HELP THEM REDUCE THE RISK OF BEING OVERWEIGHT, DEVELOPING DIABETES OR ATTENTION ISSUES.

IT'S A GOOD IDEA WE PRACTICE THE SAME, GO TO BED EARLY, GET A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP AND THAT CAN HELP OUR KIDS AS WELL.

>> THIS IS SUCH GREAT ADVICE AND FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY, GO TO SIG NU.COM.

THANKS FOR WATCHING.

>>> WELCOME BACK.

TIME TO GET THE BRACKETS OUT FOR ONE MORE HIT.

ON AN UPSET ALERT, WHAT GAME IS MOST INTRIGUING TO YOU?

>> 2 AC ALL THE ABOVE.

YOU KNOW THE ANSWER.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF SCORING UPDATES BEFORE WE START THE SECOND HALF.

9.5 MINUTES TO GO IN THE THIRD.

BROOKS COUNTY HAS SCORED AGAIN.

AGAINST METER.

SO, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE ABOUT A QUARTER AND A HALF AWAY FROM GETTING ANOTHER VISIT FROM MAURICE FREEMAN AT GEORGIA STATE AND CENTER PARK.

ALSO CARROLLTON HAS KICKED ANOTHER FIELD GOAL.

14-6.

CARROLLTON CLOSING THE MARGINS A BIT ON BEAUFORD.

AND THEY HAVE PUT THE HAMMER OUT ON METER TONIGHT.

>> IF BROOKS COUNTY WINS, WE'LL HAVE MAURICE FREEMAN, HOPEFULLY ON THE POST GAME SHOW.

>> THAT WOULD BE EPIC BECAUSE IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD HIM ON THE FOOTBALL FRIDAYS PODCAST, IT'S GREAT.

BUT WE'D LOVE TO HAVE HAVE HIM ON THE POST GAME SHOW.

HOW IS THAT FOR A PLUG?

>> YOU GUYS STICK AROUND FOR FOR THAT.

IT'S A LOT OF FUN AND OUR LAST ONE.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US ON THE FOOTBALL FRIDAY GEORGIA HALFTIME SHOW.

IT'S MATT AND WAYNE RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>>> WELCOME BACK, IT IS HALFTIME.

COLLINS HILL LEADING GRAYSON, 10-0.

THE NUMBER-ONE RANKED TEAM, 7A AND NUMBER -- MORAL VICTORY, REALLY, FOR GRAYSON TO HOLD IT TO TEN POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF.

YOU DON'T ADVANCE OUT OF THE SEMIFINALS WITH MORAL VICTORIES.

WHAT CAN THE RAMS DO DIFFERENTLY IN THE SECOND HALF TO TRY TO WIN THIS GAME?

>> FOX, JOJO STONE.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET VERTICAL, TRY SOME PLAYS DOWN THE FIELD.

THEY'RE BAILING THE DEFENSE OUT.

WE KNOW THEY'RE A GREAT DEFENSE BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FORCE THE BALL DOWN FIELD AND.

>> COME UP WITH A BIG PLAY.

>> STANDING BY WITH HEAD COACH CARTER AND THE COACH'S INTERVIEW.

>> THANKS, MATT.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DEFENSE.

YOU'RE FACING ONE OF THE TOP OFFENSE IN THE STATE AND YOUR PUNTER REALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE, MAKING A LONG FIELD.

>> THE ONLY WAY TO BE A TEAM LIKE THIS IS RUN THE FOOTBALL.

WE RAN THE FOOTBALL AT TIMES BUT WE GOT TO GET BETTER THAT.

I HATE BEFORE THE HALF, WE LET THEM OFF THE HOOK AND WENT 95 YARDS IN A MINUTE RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S ON US DEFENSIVELY.

OVERALL, WE'RE IN A PRETTY GOOD SPOT.

I MEAN, I'M HAPPY WITH WHAT WE'VE DONE DEFENSIVELY.

THAT LAST DRIVE LEAVE AS BAD TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH A LITTLE BIT.

WE'RE DOING A GOOD JOB OFFENSIVELY.

>> HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR OFFENSE BE IN A POSITION TO MAKE THOSE PLAYS?

>> WE PUT IT ON OUR BACK, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

WE GOT ONE INTERCEPTION BUT WE GOT TO GET INFIELD POSITION AND GET OUR GUYS GOING ON OFFENSE.

WE'RE ON DEFENSE OUT OF THE GATE.

I MEAN, THEY'RE HOLDING PEOPLE TO FIVE POINTS PER GAME.

THAT'S THE BIGGEST DEFENSIVE LINE WE'VE SEEN ALL YEAR.

THEY'RE MASSIVE.

WE CAN'T KEEP HAVING PENALTIES AND NEGATIVE PLAYS IN THE FOOT.

WE GOT TO HIT THEM.

>> TWO MORE QUARTERS.

SEE IF YOU CAN GET IT DONE ON THE ROAD BEST OF LUCK.

>> THANK YOU, WYLIE.

LET'S LOOK AT THE FIRST-HALF HIGHLIGHTS, OR HIGHLIGHT, SHOULD WE SAY.

TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM SAM HORN.

>> ROLL OUT BY SAM HORN.

CORNER ROUTE.

HUNTER TO GET THAT FOOT DOWN TO GET A 7-0 LEAD.

>> HE IS ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.

AS YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIRST-HALF STATS.

NEARLY 300 YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE IN THE FIRST HALF.

YET, THEY'VE SCORED ONLY TEN POINTS.

ONLY 81 YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE FOR THE RAMS.

>> THEY CONTINUED TO MAKE COLLINS HILL HAVE TO GO A LONG WAY TO GET ON THE SCOREBOARD.

THE TWO TURNOVERS HELPED THEM OUT AS WELL.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO NEED A COUPLE OF TURNOVERS IN THE SECOND HALF TO TRY TO GET ON THE SCOREBOARD.

>> SO, HERE WE GO.

START OF THE THIRD QUARTER.

AND THE COLLINS HILL EAGLES WILL BE GOING ON OFFENSE.

TO START THIS SECOND HALF.

HAD AN INTERESTING TEXTS FROM ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS AND MINE, BILLY WHITE SHOES JOHNSON SAYS HE THOUGHT TRAVIS HUNTER SHOULD BE A WIDE RECEIVER AT FLORIDA STATE.

BUT THE SECOND-HALF KICK OFF IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA, BUCKLE UP GEORGIA SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES.

COLLINS HILL GETTING THE BALL FIRST AFTER SCORING LAST AS WELL ON THE FIELD GOAL TO CLOSE OUT THE SECOND QUARTER.

THIS, THE 10-POINT LEAD.

KICK COMING DOWN AT THE SIX.

AND THE RETRN UP TO THE 16-YARD LINE.

GOOD JOB TO KEEP THEM FROM GETTING TO THE 20.

THAT'S WHERE THE EAGLES GO ON OFFENSE FROM THE 16-YARD LINE.

THEY HAVE NOT HAD GREAT FIELD POSITION AT ALL TONIGHT.

BUT THEY STILL MANAGE TO SCORE POINTS.

>> AND RIGHT OFF THE BAT TO START THIS HALF.

THIS GRAYSON DEFENSE FINDS ITSELF UNDER THE GUN.

IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T LET COLLINS HILL GET ON THE BOARD AGAIN IN THIS GAME.

YOU CAN'T LET THEM COME OUT, PICK THE BALL.

YOU CAN'T LET THEM FIND THAT ENERGY WE KNOW THEY CAN EXPLODE WITH.

FROM THIS POINT ON, EACH AND EVERY DRIEVL, YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO GET THEM OFF THE FIELD QUICKLY AND GET BACK TO YOUR OFFENSE.

>> SIX AND TEN FROM THE 16-YARD LINE.

SETTING UP A CROSSING SCREEN AND NASH UP TO THE 20-YARD LINE.

NASH WITH A FOUR-YARD PICK UP.

>> NICE JOB BY GRAYSON.

TRY TO RUN A -- THROW A LITTLE FLAIR ROUTE.

DAVIS NOT BUYING IT AS THE GRAYSON DEFENSE, NICE COVERAGE ON NASH WITH THE UNDERNEATH ROUTE.

>> UP TO THE 27-YARD LINE AND THAT WILL BE A FIRST DOWN FOR THE EELGS.

STEVENS GETTING HIS, I THINK, SECOND CARRY OF THE BALL GAME.

CAME IN AS THEIR LEADING RUSHER.

>> RIGHT NOW, YOU WOULD IMAGINE YOU COULD CONSISTENTLY START FEEDING THEM THE BALL.

>> HERE GOES TO HUNTER AGAIN.

ANOTHER FIRST DOWN FOR THE EAGLES AS THEY PLAY UPTEMPO AND THEY QUICKLY MOVE FROM THE 16 OUT THE 40.

>> A SHORT-PASSING GAME AS AN EXTENSION OF YOUR RUN GAME, GIVING IT TO YOUR BEST PLAYER.

IO CAN SEE THREE OR FOUR WHITE JERSEYS TRYING TO BRING HIM DOWN.

>> FIRST AND TEN FROM THE 37.

HORN, INSIDE BUBBLE SCREEN.

UP TO THE 43-YARD LINE ON THE CATCH AND RUN.

>> GIVING THE BALL TO AARON -- >> AND THE EAGLES DOING A VERY GOOD JOB, A NICELY EXECUTED, METHODICAL JOB TO START THE THIRD QUARTER.

>> YOU HAVE AN ATHLETIC, 260-POUND AVERAGE ACROSS THE BOARD.

AND PULLING ON THE COUNTER.

YOU HAVE THE RUN GAME THAT CAN PUT THIS OUT OF REACH FOR GRAYSON.

>> DOWN TO THE 47.

>> QUARTERBACK DRAW ALL THE WAY HERE.

NICE PATIENCE.

LETTING THE BLOCKS HAPPEN BY SAM HORN.

AS YOU CAN SEE AND HE'S SHOWING YOU SOME SPEED.

PROTECTED HIMSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.

GETTING THE FIRST DOWN FIRST AND THEN GETTING DOWN ON THE GROUND.

>> SAYS HORN'S BEEN THEIR X-FACTOR THIS YEAR.

SPENCER PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN.

BUT WE'LL CHECK THE CALL.

SAYS HE'S BEEN THE X-FACTOR FOR THE EAGLES THIS YEAR.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WROTE THE EAGLES OFF AFTER TRAVIS HUNTER GOT HURT.

>> Referee: HOLDING, ON THE OFFENSE, 10-YARD PENALTY FROM THE SPOT OF THE FOUL.

REPLAY FIRST DOWN.

>> WAYNE, HE SAYS THOSE FOLKS FORGOT SAM HORN WAS ON THEIR TEAM.

>> ON THE LEFT-SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN, GEORGE WITH A HOLDING.

YOU CAN SEE IT CLEARLY THERE BY THE LINE.

BACK JUDGE.

AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING RIGHT THERE, MATT IS, AS HE SAID, SAM HORN AND THE DEFENSE, BOTH, STOOD UP.

AND IT WAS A MINDSET THAT WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU WE'RE DEEPER THAN TRAVIS HUNTER.

OTHER GUYS, PEDRO, THOSE GUYS REALLY TOOK PRIDE OF HOLDING IT DOWN WHILE THEIR STAR PLAYER WAS OUT.

>> NOW IT BREAKS DOWN.

BEING CHASED.

TRYING TO GET AROUND THE EDGE AND HE DOES.

TUCKS IT UNDER HIS ARM AND DOWN THE 31-YARD LINE.

GREAT ESCAPABILITY BY SAM HORN AS HE'S BEING CHASED BY GAVIN GRAHAM AND THE RAMS DEFENSIVE FRONT.

>> ONLY A THREE-MAN RUSH.

NOTHING DOWN THE FIELD.

AND THEN SHOWING YOU SOMETHING THAT I'M FAMILIAR WITH, WATCHING MY COLLEGE THIS YEAR.

OLE MISS SCRAMBLING, JUST MAKING SOMETHING UP.

SAM HORN.

DON'T SHOW THEM TOO MUCH TONIGHT, SAM.

FIND YOURSELF IN AN RPO OFFENSE WHEN YOU GET THE NEXT LEVEL.

>> A BIG HOLD FOR ANDERSON.

ANOTHER FIRST DOWN FOR THE EAGLES.

IMPRESSED WITH HOW THEY'VE COME OUT AND RUN THE OFFENSE TO START THE THIRD QUARTER.

>> GOOD BLOCKING UP FRONT, ANDERSON.

LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

HE WAS THREE YARDS ACROSS THE LINE BEFORE HE RAN INTO ANY WHITE JERSEYS.

>> ANOTHER FLAG OUT AS THE PLAY GETS BLOWN DEAD BEFORE BEING HANDED OFF TO STEVENS.

>> Referee: TIMEOUT.

GRAYSON.

THAT'S THEIR FIRST.

>> THAT'S A WELL-PLACED TIMEOUT RIGHT THERE.

A BASKETBALL TIMEOUT TO TRY TO SLOW DOWN COLLINS HILL'S MOMENTUM.

>>> 8:44 LEFT IN THE THIRD.

MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN SERVING ATLANTA IN AN AREA THE SIZE OF ONE FOOTBALL FIELD.

THERE CAN BE OVER 1 MILLION TUR MITES.

IT CAN HELP WITH TURMITES TO ROACHES TO FLYING SQUIRRELS.

BUDAPEST IS AN OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF GPB FOOTBALL.

SO, THIRD DOWN AND ONE.

WE'LL WAIT FOR THE OFFICIALS TO SORT THIS ONE OUT.

>> Referee: FALSE START.

ON THE OFFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

STILL THIRD DOWN.

>> AND VERY INTERESTING RIGHT THERE AS IT SEEMED LIKE HORN WAS CALLING FOR THE BALL BUT BOTH GUARDS, BOTH TACKLES TOOK OFF THE BALL AND SAM LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GIVENING HIM THE OKAY TO GIVE IT TO HIM AND ROBBY WATSON NOT IN TUNE WITH THE QUARTERBACK.

>> THIRD DOWN AND SIX.

ANDERSON NOT GOING TO PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN ON THE GROUND AND IT'S GOING TO BRING UP FOURTH DOWN AND AN INTERESTING DECISION COMING UP FOR LENNY GREGORY.

PROBABLY OUT OF THEIR FIELD GOAL RANGE.

>> NOT JUST OUT OF FIELD GOAL RANGE BUT THE WAY YOUR DEFENSE IS PLAYING, YOU CAN TAKE THOSE KIND OF LUXURIES AND GO FOR IT.

THIRD-DOWN PLAY REALLY SET UP YOU'RE GOING FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN.

YOU'RE DISHING IT FOR IT IN A COUPLE OF YARDS.

>> FOURTH AND FOUR.

AND A TIMEOUT CALLED BY SAM HORN.

SO, SAM HORN SAW SOMETHING HE DID NOT LIKE.

>> Referee: TIMEOUT, COLLINS HILL.

THAT'S THEIR FIRST TIMEOUT.

>> -- ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BALL FROM FOR GRAYSON DEFENSE.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE, COMING OUT OF THE TIMEOUT, DO THEY STAY WITH IT?

OR CHANGE THEIR DECISION?

>> I THINK YOU GOT TO START PUTTING PRESSURE ON SAM HORN AND THIS OFFENSE TO START MAKING PLAYS.

YOU ONLY HAVE TEN POINTS ON THE BOARD.

IN THIS SITUATION, YOU GOT TO START PICKING IT UP OFFENSIVELY.

YOU'RE IN A GREAT SITUATION TO PICK UP THAT FOURTH AND FIVE.

>> LET'S CHECK IN WITH NELLY AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND THE STATE.

>> WHAT'S GOING ON IN TRIPLE A.

INTERESTING SCORES HERE.

ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE.

6-3 AT THE HALF.

CEDER GROVE ON TOP AFTER HEAVY EARLY LEAD.

NOW UP 20-6.

RIGHT-HAND SIDE.

INTERESTING STUFF OUT OF BLACK SHEER.

3-0 EARLY.

CARVER WINNING 19-3 IN BEAR VILL.

CARVER, ATLANTA LEADING IN A BIG ROAD GAME SO ATLANTA AND DECAL.

COUNTY SCHOOLS SHOWING UP IN TRIPLE A.

>> AND I SAW THEM PLAY AND MILES SEEMED A VERY TALENTED TEAM.

I THOUGHT AT THE TIME THEY WERE PROBABLY THE MOST TALENTED TEAM IN ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

CERTAINLY, THEY'RE LIVING UP TO THAT BUILDING, TO BE THE FIRST APS SCHOOL TO GET BACK THE STATE SEMIS SINCE 2014.

FOURTH AND FOUR RIGHT HERE.

>> SPREAD THEM OUT.

WATCH SAM HORN ON THE KWAB QUARTERBACK DRAW.

>> AND IT'S CAUGHT AT THE 21-YARD LINE.

>> A DANGEROUS CATCH HERE.

GIVING THE BALL TO KOBE ROGERS.

THE MIDDLE LINEBACKER, INCHES AWAY FROM PICKING THIS BALL OFF.

IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE JALEN SMITH BREAKING ON THE BALL, NOT ABLE TO GET IT.

NICE JOB SECURING THE CATCH AND KOBE ROGERS, NUMBER 11.

>> FIRST AND TEN, BALL AT THE 22-YARD LINE.

ANDERSON, ANOTHER SIX OR SEVEN YARDS ON THE PLAY.

>> THEY SEEM TO BE PICKING UP THE FACE ON THIS DRIVE.

WOEB SEEN A COUPLE OF RUNS BY ANDERSON, WHERE HE'S THREE OR FOUR YARDS DEEP.

THEY'RE SET TO COME OFF THE BALL AND THEY'RE AGGRESSIVE.

>> STEVENS GETS STOPPED TO THE 15.

>> STEVENS WATCHES TAPE, HE'S GOING TO SEE ALL THAT GREEN GRASS OUTSIDE.

COUNTER, ONCE AGAIN, GEORGE SECURING THE EDGE.

TRIED TO GET UP IN THE MIDDLE.

FIND YOURSELF NEAR THE GOAL LINE.

>> THIS COLLINS HILL DRIVE HAS TAKEN NEARLY HALF OF THE QUARTER.

5:30 MINUTES THIS DRIVE THAT STARTED AT THEIR OWN 16-YARD LINE.

THIS IS THE TENTH PLAY OF THE DRIVE RIGHT HERE.

THIRD DOWN AND TWO.

ANDERSON, FIRST DOWN AND MORE N INSIDE THE FIVE AND DOWN THE ONE.

>> GOOD BLOCKING, GREAT EXECUTION HERE.

NICE JOB OF HORN GOING DOWN THE LINE.

HAVE TO RESPECT HIS ABILITY TO RUN THE BALL.

NIELS KICKOUT.

BIG-TIME BLOCK ON THE EDGE BY THE LEFT TACKLE AND LEFT GUARD.

>> HORN WITH THE CORNERBACK KEEPER TOUCHDOWN.

16-0, EAGLES.

>> AND THAT'S YOUR FOUR-STAR QUARTERBACK.

YOU CAN SEE THE EMOTION RIGHT THERE.

SAM HORN PUSHING HIMSELF INTO THE END ZONE.

AT THIS POINT IN THE GAME, THE WAY YOUR DEFENSE IS PLAYING AGAINST GRAYSON, AS AN EAGLES FAN, YOU START THE PUT THE GAME IN THE SHAPE YOU THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE.

SO, BANACCI ON.

AND IT'S 17-0.

SAM HORN.

THIS IS AN 84-YARD TRY BY COLLINS HILL TO OPEN UP THE THIRD QUARTER.

11 PLAYS AND A ONE-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN BY HORN TO CAP IT.

>>> THAT DRIVE BY COLLINS HILL ATE UP NEARLY HALF OF THE THIRD QUARTER.

NOW THEY'RE DOWN THREE SCORES.

YOU START DOING THE MATH AND YOU SAW HOW COLLINS HILL WAS ABLE TO HOLD ON AT THE BALL RIGHT THERE.

YOU MIGHT NOT GET MANY MORE THAN THREE POSSESSIONS THE REST OF THIS GAME.

YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SCORE ON EVERYONE OF YOUR POSSESSIONS.

IF YOU'RE THE RAMS AND YOU HAVE A CHANCE AT COMING BACK AND TYING OR WINNING THE GAME.

>> LOOK AT THAT DRIVE BY COLLINS HILL.

THEY SEEM LIKE THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO DO.

GET ON THE SCOREBOARD.

>> AND ON THE RETURN, FLAG OUT.

GOING TO BE BACKING UP THE RAMS.

AS BEN GETS TO THE 24-YARD LINE.

YOU'LL REMEMBER IN THE GAME WE TELEVISED FIVE WEEKS AGO WHEN GRAYSON LOST AT HOME TO BROOK WOOD AND THE 84-YARD KICK RETURN TOUCHDOWN.

LOOKS LIKE GRAYSON WILL BE GOING IN REVERSE WITH THE PENALTY.

>> Referee: DURING THE RETURN, BLOCK IN THE BACK, ON THE RETURN TEAM, 10-YARD PENALTY FROM THE SPOT OF THE FOUL.

FIRST AND TEN GRAYSON.

>> AND GRAYSON STARTS THIS DRIVE, BASICALLY IN THE SAME SITUATION THEY STARTED THE GAME IN.

WHERE DO THEY FIND OFFENSE?

WHO OFFENSIVELY CAN THEY GET THE BALL TO THAT CAN MAKE A PLAY FOR THEM IN THIS SITUATION?

WE TALKED ABOUT HUMPFRY, JOJO STONE.

SOMETHING VERTICAL HAS TO START HAPPENING WITH THE TEAM TO GET DOWN FIELD.

>> AND BALL OUT.

RECOVERED BY COLLINS HILL.

THE OFFICIALS ARE GOING TO STEP IN AND SAY HE WAS DOWN.

HE WAS GOING TO THE GROUND, WHEN IT APPEARED HE WAS STRIPPED FROM BEHIND BUT THE OFFICIALS ARE CONFERRING AND NOW THEY ARE GOING TO SAY THAT IT IS COLLINS HILL'S BALL AND I BELIEVE THAT'S THE RIGHT CALL.

RAIN ON HIS WAY TO THE GROUND, GOT STRIPPED FROM BEHIND.

>> GREAT JOB BY AARON HORTON, COMING ON THE LEFT-SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN, REACHING FOR THE BALL.

THERE ARE NO BODY PARTS DOWN.

NICE JOB RIPPING THE BALL OUT OF HERE.

ONCE AKBEN GOOD BLOCKING.

GREGORY SO PROUD OF AARON HORTON AND THE WAY HE CAME BACK THIS YEAR.

HE HAS A POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

>> YOU HEARD HIM TALKING ABOUT THAT WHEN WE STARTED THE GAME, THAT HORTON WAS THE UNSUNG HERO TYPE GUY.

A KEY INGREDIENT TO THE EAGLES SUCCESS.

COMES UP WITH A BIG PLAY TO STRIP FRY OF THE BALL.

THEY STOP STEVENS RIGHT THERE ON THE FIRST-DOWN CARRY.

>> NUMBER 11, COMING UP.

LONG RANGING, TACKLING MACHINE.

90 TACKLES THIS SEASON AND SACKS.

AND AN OUTSTANDING SEASON FOR THE GRAYSON TEAM.

THEY'RE GOING TO NEED BIG PLAYS RIGHT HERE.

YOU FEEL LIKE THE DOOR IS STARTING TO CLOSE VERY SLOWLY.

ALLOW REALLY ANYMORE POINTS PUT ON THE BOARD BY COLLINS HILL.

>> SMITH HAS 13 OFFERS, INCLUDING UCF AND GEORGIA STATE AND POWER FIVE TEAMS STARTING TO OFFER AS WELL.

KEEPER BY HORN, INSIDE THE TEN.

AND HORN, FUMBLED THE BALL, OUT OF THE BOUNDS AT THE TWO.

>> QUARTERBACK DRAW BY DESIGN.

NICE JOB, NUMBER 55, GETTING OUT IN SPACE, SECURING THE BLOCK.

WE'VE SEEN HIM PROTECT HIMSELF.

YOU GOT TO PROTECT YOURSELF.

>> TOUCHDOWN, COLLINS HILL.

SPENCER ANDERSON TAKES IT IN.

FOR HIS 10th RUSHING TOUCHDOWN OF THE SEASON.

AND HIS 14th OVERALL TOUCHDOWN.

AND IT'S 23-0.

COLLINS HILL.

>> RICHARDSON ON THE RIGHT SIDE JUST WASHING EVERYTHING DOWN.

NOTHING TO IMPEDE.

GOOD VISION.

NOTHING TO IMPEDE SPENCER ANDERSON GETTING IN THE END ZONE.

NICE BLOCKING UP FRONT BY THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

>> SO, GRAYSON HAVING WON JUST A HANDFUL OF PLAYS, HAS GIVEN UP TWO TOUCHDOWNS AND THE GAME IS STARTING TO GET AWAY.

23-0 AFTER IT WAS A 10-0 GAME AT HALFTIME.

AND THE KICK IS NO GOOD THIS TIME.

BANNACCI WITH THE MISS AND THERE'S A FLAG DOWN.

>> IS HE GOING TO GET RUNNING INTO THE KICKER IN THIS SITUATION?

PERSONAL FOUL.

NOT SURE IF THE D-LINE JUMPED OVER THE CENTER AS WELL IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR SCREEN TO GET THAT PRESSURE.

>> WHICH, OF COURSE, IS ALSO A PENALTY.

>> WHICH IS ALSO A PENALTY.

>> Referee: PERSONAL FOUL, ROUGHING THE KICKER.

ON THE RECEIVING TEAM.

THAT PENALTY IS DECLINED.

REPLAY THE TRY.

>> I DON'T THINK THE PENALTY WAS DECLINED.

IT WAS ACCEPTED.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE GOING TO REPLAY THE TRY.

GOT HIS TERMINOLOGY MIXED UP.

BUT CLEARLY TAKING THE OUT THE KICKER'S PLANT LEG WHILE HIS KICK LEG WAS IN THE AIR AND WE'LL TRY IT AGAIN.

>> THE DRAMA OF HIGH SCHOOL KICKING.

IT'S SO ACTION PACKED, YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN HIGH SCHOOL IN THE KITING GAME.

>> THAT ASPECT I LIKE.

THERE'S SOME UNCERTAINTY IN IT.

IA GET TO THE NFL AND THOSE GUYS ARE BOMBING 62-YARD FIELD GOALS EVERY WEEK.

HERE, [ INAUDIBLE ] AND THE KICK IS GOOD THIS TIME AND IT IS 24-0.

COLLINS HILL.

COLLINS HILL HAS NOW OPENED UP A FOUR-SCORE LEAD HERE AT HOME ON THE HILL AND LET'S SEND IT TO NELLY TO FIND OUT WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON.

>> LET'S TAKE YOU TO QUAD A AND SHOW YOU WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

ONE GAME IS GOING TO BEA TREAT TO CATCH UP FROM GOING COASTALEN THE POST GAME SHOW.

OFFICIALLY A SHOOTOUT.

35-24 AT ONE POINT IN THE THIRD.

THEY SCORE AND GET THE TWO-POINT CONVERSION.

35-32 WITH BENEDICT IN THE LEAD IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

LEFT-HAND SIDE ARE IN THE EARLY FOURTH QUARTER.

AND LEADING COLUMBUS WITH THE SCORE OF 24-14, IN A BACK AND FORTH GAME.

CEDER HILL FORCED A TURNOVER ON DOWNS IN THEIR OWN TEN.

BETH OF THESE GAMES IN THE BALANCE.

ONE LATE THIRD, ONE EARLY FOURTH WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT QUAD A.

>> HERE AT THE HILL, THE WINNER ADVANCES TO THE 7A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TO PLAY MILTON OR WALTON NEXT SAD.

THE FINAL GAME OUT OF EIGHT FOOTBALL GAMES AT CENTER PARK STADIUM.

BEN ON THE RETURN UP TO THE 31-YARD LINE AND THE BIG QUESTION WILL BE CAN GRAYSON GENERATE ANY OFFENSE AGAINST THIS STOUT DEFENSE?

BUT IT GOES BEYOND THAT.

THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR GRAYSON THE ENTIRE YEAR.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO REPLACE A FOUR-STAR QUARTERBACK, WHO'S RATED THE TOP FIVE QUARTERBACK IN THE NATION.

TALKING ABOUT JAKE GARCIA, WHO WAS THEIR QUARTERBACK, LED THEM TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

>> 30 RUSH TDs.

SIX PAST TDs.

LELTS YOU KNOW THIS TEAM IS NOT REALLY BUILT TO COME FROM BEHIND.

>> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO DO THAT NOW.

THAT WAS ELDER ON THE CARRY.

PICK UP OF ABOUT THREE ON THE PLAY.

THEY LEAD WALTON AT THE HALF.

PRRLGS RIGHT NOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT COLLINS HILL MILTON MATCH UP IN THE 7A FINAL.

SOUNDS LIKE THE MILTON/WALTON GAME IS TIGHTER AND MORE UP IN THE AIR AS THEY ARE IN THE LOCKER ROOM RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT HERE, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A BIG COMEBACK BY GRAYSON IN THE FINAL 16 MINUTES OF THIS GAME.

>> AND REALLY NOT EVEN GOING AT A TEMPO AT THIS MOMENT.

STILL LOOKING TO THE SIDELINE.

TAKING A LUTE OF TIME TO GET TO THE NEXT PLAY.

SECOND AND EIGHT.

>> THAT'S A LUXURY THEY CAN'T AFFORD RIGHT NOW.

FRY TO THE AIR AND OVER SHOOTS HIS TARGET.

HUMPFRY WAS HIS MAN.

FLAG OUT.

MAYBE WE HAVE A DEFENSIVE HOLD OUT THERE.

>> TRYING TO HIT THAT SLANT ROUTE.

FRY PRESSURE IN HIS FACE.

BIG PRESSURE IN HIS FACE.

BARELY GETTING THE BALL OFF.

>> Referee: THERE'S NO FOUL ON THE PLAY.

SECOND DOWN.

>> AND THIS HAS BEEN THE DOWN OF DOOM TONIGHT.

BREAKING OFF THIRD AND LONG AGAINST THIS TALENTED FRESH, HAPPY MAN-TO-MAN DEFENSE.

IT'S JUST NOT TURNED OUT WELL.

>> IT IS THIRD DOWN AND AILKT.

>> COMMUNICATING, TRYING TO GET THE PROTECTION SET RIGHT.

>> ELDER GETS WRAPPED UP BY RED BUSH.

GRABBED HIM AROUND THE NECK AND REDWOOD WITH A VICIOUS TACKLE.

>> ONLY A THREE-MAN RUSH READING THE DRAW ON THE WAY TO THE QUARTERBACK OF REDWOOD.

YOUNG, UNDEVELOPED TALENT.

YOU CAN SEE 6'3", 225.

>> AND HE IS STRONG TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

>> HIS COACH LOVE SAID HIM.

SAYS SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET A JEWEL A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH.

A GUY THAT'S JUST STARTING TO LEARN WHAT TO DO ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD.

BIG-TIME PLAY.

>> COACH GREGORY SAYS THE FACT HE HAS ONLY FOUR OFFERS IS THE RESULT OF WHAT HE CALLS A BROKEN COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECRUITING SYSTEM.

COACHES SAY WE CAN'T TAKE PLAYERS THAT NEED TO BE TO DEVELOPED ANYMORE.

I THOUGHT THAT WHAT COLLEGE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.

NOT ANYMORE.

THEY WANT PLAYERS READY MADE.

IF IT'S A GUY THAT HAS TO RED SHIRT AND DEVELOP, SO MANY PROGRAMS ARE RELUCTANT TO DO THAT BECAUSE SO MUCH PRESSURE'S ON THE COACHES TO WIN RIGHT AWAY.

HOW MANY COACHES DO WE SEE FIRED AFTER TWO AND THREE SEASONS?

>> AND I THINK WHAT HE'S ELUDING TO IS THERE'S GOING TO BE GREAT PHYSICAL CHALLENGES, AND PLAYING UNTIL JUNIOR AND SENIOR.

NOW WITH THE RECRUITING, HOW PEOPLE GO TO THE SIXTH GRADE AND FIND A GUY AND START MAKING OFFERS IS WHAT THE BROKEN SYSTEM IS SET AROUND.

>> READ REDWOOD IS GOING TO BE A BIG-TIME STAR SOMEWHERE.

ANOTHER CATCH FOR COLLINS HILL AS THEY MOVE IT OUT BEYOND THE 30.

>> KOBE ROGERS ALMOST FOUND HIMSELF SURPRISED HE WAS CATCHING THE BALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD WITH NO ONE TACKLING.

STEVENS ON THE RUN AS WE GO UNDER 3:00 TO PLAY IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

>> ONE OF THOSE SOPHOMORES.

A LOT OF YOUNG TALENT FOR THE GRAYSON RAMS TEAM THAT'S RIGHT NOW GOING AGAINST A HIGH-LEVEL OFFENSE IN COLLINS HILL.

>> SECOND DOWN AND EIGHT.

HUNTER, FOUR MEN TO TRY TO BEAT.

AND THEY GET HIM ON THE GROUND.

OPEN FIELD TACKLE BY BURJS, THE LINEBACKER.

>> JUST A STOP ROUTE, COMES TO GET THE BALL.

AND THESE ARE THE KIND OF PLAYS THAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO WORK OUT IN THE COLLEGE LEVEL.

RIGHT THERE, YOU WANT TO CATCH THE BALL, GET A HARD ONE OR TWO YARDS.

WHATEVER YOU CAN GET.

NOT WANT TO SIT AROUND.

>> HOW ABOUT YOUR TEXT FROM -- HOW ABOUT YOUR TEXT FROM HALL OF FAMER BILLY WHITE SHOES JOHNSON AND HIS THOUGHTS ON TRAVIS HUNTER?

>> FROM WHAT BILLY IS WATCHING, HE SAYS TRAVIS HUNTER IS READY TO STEP IN AND MAKE AN IMPACT AT THE RECEIVER SPOT.

AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE WITH THE BALL SKILLS AND THE CONCENTRATION AND THE HANDS, YOU PUT THIS GUY AT RECEIVER.

HE FEELS THAT IF YOU PUT HIM AT CORNER, IT'S GOING TO BE TWO OR THREE YEARS BEFORE YOU START FEELING HIS IMPACT IF YOU START MAKING THE SWITCH.

>> BILLY WHITE SHOES JOHNSON HAS THE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH HIM.

GOOD TO WORK WITH HIM.

ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREATS.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND IN THE NL AS WELL.

HE WAS THE GOD FATHER OF THE TOUCHDOWN CELEBRATION.

WAS HE NOT?

>> I WONDER WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT ALL THESE TAUNTING CALLS AND THE TOUCHDOWN NOW?

>> HE WAS UNT TAUNTING ANYBODY.

HE WAS HAVING FUN.

>> NICE JOB BY RYAN STEVENS.

AND AS HE SAID, SINCE THIS BALL HAS BEEN KICKED OFF IN THE SECOND HALF, HIS OFFENSIVE LINE IS STARTING TO PUSH THE DEFENSIVE FRONT BACK AND THESE BACKS, WHEN THEY GET THE OPPORTUNITY, THEY'RE GETTING FOUR OR FIVE YARDS A CARRY.

PLAY ACTION, TRYING TO GO BACK TO TRAFFICS HUNTER AND THEY HAD HIM THAT TIME.

>> TAKING ON TRAVIS HUNTER.

YOU SEE THEM GRAB HIM RIGHT THERE ON THE BACK AND HE HAD OVER THE TOP HELP.

YOU SEE THE SAFETY COMING OVER.

WHAT A BRIGHT FUTURE HE HAD.

ENLY A FRESHMAN IN THE CORNER.

>> AND JALEN BELL, A 13-GAME STARTER AS A FRESHMAN.

THEY ALREADY HAVE SEVEN OFFERS, INCLUDING GEORGIA.

FLORIDA STATE AND OLE MISS.

>> 13 YEARS OLD, GUARDING THE BEST PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY.

WHAT A CONFIDENCE BUILDER.

>> WHAT DOESN'T DESTROY YOU.

NO PUN INTEND WOULD THE HOLDING CALL.

FINAL HALF MINUTE OF THE FIRST QUARTER.

HE'S HELD THE BALL VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE THIRD PERIOD.

NOW YOU'RE GOING TO RUN IT.

GETS DOWN A LITTLE BIT SHY OF THE FIRST DOWN MARKER.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE FINAL PLAY OF THE THIRD QUARTER.

COLLINS HILL IS GOING TO CALL THE TIMEOUT.

>> AND I'M THINKING THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO GO TO IN THE END ZONE.

>> Referee: TIMEOUT, COLLINS HILL.

>> BOOST THEIR SCORE UP TO 31-0 AND GET THE RUNNING CLOCK.

IF YOU'RE LENNY GREGORY, TAKE ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU CAN TO GET THIS GAME SHORTENED.

IF YOU'RE MOVING TO THE NEXT ROUND.

>> THAT IS A GREAT CALL.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY THEY CALLED A TIMEOUT RIGHT THERE WITH 16 SECONDS TO PLAY IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

RATHER THAN LET THE CLOCK WIND DOWN BECAUSE YOU CAN SCORE RIGHT HERE, YOU MAKE IT A RUNNING CLOCK IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

YOU MASK IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN COME BACK FROM A DEFICIT OF THIS NATURE.

UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

WITH A RUNNING CLOCK, I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT HAPPENING.

>> AND FACING AN OFFENSE THAT HASN'T THREATENED YOU VERTICALLY TONIGHT WITH YOUR QUARTERBACK PLAY.

YOU'RE THINKING WHAT HE'S DOING IN THIS MOMENT.

>> FIND TRAVIS HUNTER.

WHERE HE IS, THE BALL'S GOING TO GO, I BET YOU.

>> FIND A WAY TO GET HIM SINGLE COVERAGE.

>> OR ETHAN DAVIS WANT TO SAVE.

EVERYBODY SCREECHES TO THE END ZONE.

IN THE MIDDLE.

HUNTER IS BROUGHT DOWN.

LOOKING FOR A FLAG AND DOESN'T GET IT.

B.J.

CLEMENS, THE SAFETY ON THE COVERAGE.

>> BEING VERY AGGRESSIVE.

SAM HORN.

FEELING LIKE ALL RECEIVERS.

THEY HAD TO BE HOLDING ME.

A LOT OF BODIES RIGHT THERE AND -- >> IF ANYTHING, THAT OFFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE.

RIGHT?

>> THAT IS DEFINITELY PASS INTERFERENCE ON THE OFFENSE, PUSHING THE QUARTERBACK DOWN.

>> THEY RUN RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE AND GET THE TOUCHDOWN FROM SPENCER ANDERSON TO STRETCH THE LEAD TO 30 WITH SIX SECONDS LEFT IN THE QUARTER.

>> GREAT PLAY CALL HERE.

NICE BLOCKING UP FRONT.

SPREAD THEM OUT.

COUNT THE BODIES IN THE BOX.

IF IT'S ONLY FIVE BODIES IN THE BOX, RUN THE DRAW.

AND THERE'S NO ONE THERE TO BRING SPENCER ANDERSON DOWN.

>> YOU ARE RIGHT.

EVERYBODY WAS THINKING PAST TO THE END ZONE.

THEY DADE GOOD JOB CALCULATING THE NUMBERS IN THE BOX.

HOERN RECOGNIZED IT AND HE GOES RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE DEFENSE.

31-0.

17-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN BY SPENCER ANDERSON AND THERE WILL BE A RUNNING CLOCK IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

AND THAT IS A GREAT JOB OF TIME MANAGEMENT AND COACHING MANAGEMENT BY LENNY GREGORY TO RECOGNIZE, ONCE THEY GOT DOWN THERE, TO THE 20-YARD LINE, WE'VE GOT A SHOT RIGHT HERE TO REALLY EFFECTIVELY END THE GAME, IF WE CAN SCORE BEFORE THE END OF THE THIRD.

>> I GO UP 31-0.

I DON'T NEED ANY TIMEOUT.

I JUST TAKE THAT GAMBLE AND IT PLAYED OUT FOR COLLINS HILL.

>> WE'LL START OFF WITH ONE OF THE FINALS ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE IN SINGLE A PUBLIC.

IN THE BOOKS, WE CAN ADVANCE BROOKS COUNTY.

BIG WIN TONIGHT, IN CONTROL FROM THE BEGINNING.

49-7 AND IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW, LATE THIRD QUARTER T COULD BE NUMBER ONE AND TWO.

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, AT THE HALFWAY POINTED OF THE THIRD QUARTER, THERE'S YOUR ADVANCEMENT OF BROOKS.

LEADING BY THE SCORE OF 38-7.

1-2 IN REGION 1 VERSES TWO, IN RANKINGS 1 VERSES 2, LOOKS LIKE GEORGIA STATE.

>> AND WE'VE SEEN THAT MOVIE BEFORE.

KICK COMING DOWN AT THE 27-YARD LINE.

AND BANKSEN THE RETURN ON THE FINAL PLAY OF THE THIRD QUARTER.

AND WE'LL HEAD TO THE FOURTH.

NUMBER-ONE RANKED COLLINS HILL AT THE SECOND LEFT ON THE CLOCK.

OKAY.

AS SOON AS THEY SET THE BALL DOWN, THEN THE HALF SECOND WILL BE DOWN.

CLOCK OPERATOR REALIZED HE WAS AT HOME.

>> NUMBER ONE IN THE STATE.

13-0.

THEY HAVE DOMINATED ALL SEASON LONG.

AND THEY DOMINATED IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

TO STRETCH THIS LEAD OUT TO 31-0.

BLLG >>> START OF THE FOURTH QUARTER, LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE ABOUT TO PUNCH THEIR TICKED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN SCHOOL HISTORY.

THE QUESTION IS WHO WILL THEY PLAY?

WALTON OR WILL IT BE MILTON?

31-0.

REDEEMING THE LOSS IN THE STATE FINAL.

AND AGAIN, WE WILL HAVE A RUNNING CLOCK IN THE FOURTH QUARTER AS COLLINS HILL HAS A 30-PLUS POINT LEAD.

JOJO STONE AT QUARTERBACK.

QUARTERBACK DRAW.

BROUGHT BACK IN AS WELL.

THAT PUSHES JOJO BACK TO RECEIVER.

AND THIS GRAYSON RAMS OFFENSE IS BASICALLY WHAT IT IS.

IT'S A RUN BASE, TRY TO RUN THE BALL.

PLAY TOUGH DEFENSE, SHORT FIELD AND THAT'S JUST NOT HAPPENED FOR HIM TONIGHT.

FRY THROWS AND CAUGHT AND THE COMPLETION.

>> NICE JOB OF GETTING OFF THE BLOCK.

TRAVIS HUNTER, WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT HIS IMPACT AT THE CORNER BACK POSITION.

HE IS THE NUMBER-ONE RATED PLAYER AND CORNER BACK IN THE COUNTRY.

MOST OF HIS BIG PLAYS AND IMPACT HAVE BEEN IN THE RECEIVER SPOT.

>> THAT'S THE WAY IT IS FOR A LOT OF HIGHLY RANKED CORNERS IN FOOTBALL.

YOU DON'T GET TO SEE THEIR IMPACT AT THIS LEVEL BECAUSE TEAMS DON'T USUALLY THROW TO THAT SIDE OF THE FIELD.

AND YOU CAN SEE HE'S REALLY PLAYING MORE OF A SAFETY POSITION RIGHT NOW.

HE'S DIRECTING TRAFFIC.

>> THIRD AND EIGHT.

IT'S FWIN A BAD DOWN FOR THE OFFENSE ALL NIGHT LONG.

THIS RUN READ ZONE TO THE RIGHT.

AND WE'VE DONE WHAT HE HAS.

BUT HE WAS TRYING TO GO AGAINST THE RUNNING CLOCK.

>> JALEN MILAN IS ON TO PUNT AGAIN.

IN ONE OF THE BRIGHT SPOTS FOR THE RAMS TODAY.

YOU LOOK AT THE 31-0 SCORE AND GRAYSON'S PLAYED PRETTY WELL DEFENSIVELY, I THOUGHT.

YOU HOOD THE FUMBLE TO SET OPSHORT TOUCHDOWN.

SPELL THE END OF THE NIGHT FOR GRAYSON.

>>> UNDER 10:00 TO GO IN THE SEMIFINAL.

DAN NELSON, GOODEN AND BALERED WITH YOU IN THE FINAL NIGHT BEFORE WE HEAD TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, STARTING ON THURSDAY HERE ON GPB.

WE'LL HAVE THREE FULL DAYS OF ACTION.

11 TOTAL GAMES, COUNTING THE THREE FLAG FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES AS WELL.

WE'LL BE BACK WITH YOU AGAIN ON THURSDAY NIGHT AT 8:00 FOR THAT SINGLE A PUBLIC CHAMPIONSHIP AND ONCE AGAIN, HERMAN AND BROOKS COUNTY, THE SAME TWO TEAMS WE CALLED LAST YEAR.

>> BACK TO BACK.

GEORGIA STATE STADIUM.

EXCITING STATE CHAMPIONSHIP LAST YEAR.

A LOT OF EXCITEMENT.

AND RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN SEE COLLINS HILL TRYING TO CLOSE THIS GAME OUT WITH THE RUN.

GETTING DOWN HILL.

>> STEVENS ON THE CARRY RIGHT THERE.

THEY BEAT CARROLLTON IN THE SEMIFINALS.

SO, THE WOLVES ARE GOING FOR THE THREE-PETE.

THEIR REGION RIVALS.

WE SAW THEM BEAT DECULA LATE IN THE REGULAR SEASON.

CALL NDS HILL PLAYING IN THEIR FOURTH SEMIFINAL.

THEY WILL IMPROVE 2-2 IN THE LATE SEMIFINAL ROUND.

DEFEATED IN THE SEMIFINALS EARLIER IN THEIR PROGRAM HISTORY.

A LOSS TO BROOKSIDE AND NASH NEARLY CAME UP WITH A SPECTACULAR CATCH RIGHT THERE.

>> JUST A QUICK SLANT, TRYING TO GET THE BALL TO CHASE NASH.

ONLY A SOPHOMORE, FORMER RUNNING BACK.

BIG-TIME TALENT FOR HIM.

5'9", 180.

AND INTO THE GAME WITH 52 RECEPTIONS ON THE SEASON.

>> LENNY GREGORY RIGHT THERE.

HE STARTED IN 39 STRAIGHT GAMES ON THE DEFENSIVE LINE FOR BYU BACK IN THE LATE 80s AND EARLY '90s.

SAME TIME YOU WERE PLAYING AT AUBURN, HE WAS PLAYING FOR THE COUGARS.

AND SENIOR YEAR 1992, PLAYING FOR THE LUVEL EDWARD SAID, THE HEAD COACH OF BYU AT THE TIME.

AND HE WAS THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, WHEN GRAYSON WON THEIR FIRST STATE TITLE IN 2011.

HE WAS ALSO THE GUARDIAN OF A FAMILY BACK IN AFRICA.

ROBERT WAS LIVING WITH LENNY GREGORY DURING HIS STAY THERE IN GRAYSON.

>> HAD A REAL SERIOUS ATTITUDE.

HE WAS VERY FOCUSSED AND HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT HE HAS.

HE HAS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP QUALITY TEAM ON HIS PLATE.

AND HE SEEMS TO BE ON A MISSION TO GET CHAMPIONSHIP BACK TO COLLINS HILL.

>> BEAT WALTON, AS A MATTER OF FACT.

HOW IRONIC WOULD THAT BE?

BEAT WALTON IN 2011 IN THE STATE FINALS.

THEY COULD BE FACING THEM AGAIN OR MILTON COMING UP NEXT WEEK NEXT SATURDAY.

THAT GAME STILL BE DETERMINED.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

HE WAS VERY FOCUSSED.

HE SAID IT'S NICE STORY YOU CAN TALK ABOUT.

COACH ROBERT AND NOW I'M COACHING TRAVIS HUNTER.

TWO OF THE NUMBER-ONE PROSPECTS IN THE HISTORY OF COLLEGE RECRUITING.

THOSE ARE ALL NICE STORIES BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS GAME IS ABOUT.

IT'S BEEN A VERY WORKMAN-LIKE EFFORT BY HIS TEAM REALLY IN EVERY ASPECT OFFENSIVELY, DEFENSIVELY, SPECIAL TEAMS.

THEY'VE BEEN SOLID AS A ROCK TONIGHT.

>> OTHER THAN TWO TURNOVERS.

>> Referee: DELAY OF GAME ON THE OFFENSE, FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

STILL FOURTH DOWN.

>> ONE COMING ON INTERCEPTION, THE UTH WRER -- OTHER WITH KOBE ROGERS.

THE VERY CLEAN GAME.

BUSINESS-LIKE ATTITUDE.

SAW A LITTLE CELEBRATION BUT NOT THE OVER BEARING CELEBRATIONS.

THEY'RE ON A MISSION.

I THINK THEY WANT TO GO OUT AS CHAMPIONS.

>> THEY'RE GOING TO GET THAT OPPORTUNITY NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT AGAINST EITHER MILTON OR WALTON.

HUNT BY HORN, BOOMER JUST FIELDED IT OUT OF BOUNDS ON THE 15-YARD LINE.

AND THAT'S WHERE THE RAM SAID WILL GO ON OFFENSE.

PERHAPS FOR THE FINAL TIME IN 2021, PERHAPS WE'LL STEP ASIDE AND COME BACK FOR THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.

>>> 31-0, COLLINS HILL.

JUST FIVE MINUTES AWAY FROM OFFICIALLY PUNCHING THEIR TICKET IN THE STATE FINALS.

AND TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE PLAY OF THE GAME.

SHARE WITH YOUR BESTY.

>> WANT TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN?

GET IT TO THE BEST PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY.

BEAUTIFUL FLOW AND AN EVEN GREATER CATCH THERE.

ONE FOOT IN, BIG-TIME PLAYER.

TRAVIS HUNTER STARTING THE GAME OFF IN A BIG FASHION.

>> LOVE TO WATCH HIM PLAY.

AND I THINK BACK TO THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, THAT YOU AND I HAVE BEEN DOING THESE GAMES TOGETHER AND WE'VE BEEN BLESSED TO SEE GUYS LIKE GILBERT AND NOW HUNTER.

I MEAN, THOSE ARE PLAYERS THAT RANK TOP FIVE IN THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL PLAYS I'VE SEEN PLAY THE GAME AND WE'VE SEEN THEM TWO OF THE LAST THREE YEARS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

>> LIVING UP TO THE BUILDING IS WHAT YOU ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO WHEN YOU COME IN.

I DO WHEN I COME IN THIS JOB TOO, SEE IF A PLAYER CAN LIVE UP TO THE HYPE.

>> Referee: INELIGIBLE DOWN FIELD ON THE OFFENSE.

FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

STILL FIRST DOWN.

>> AND WE HAVE DEFINITELY HAD THE PLEASURE OF GUYS SHOWING WHY THEY ARE RATED.

YOU CAN SEE THE TALENT DRIPPING OFF THIS YOUNG MAN.

HASN'T FILLED OUT THAT FRAME YET.

WHEN YOU THINK 6'2", 175.

HE'S GOING TO GET UP THERE, ANOTHER 20 POUNDS.

>> AND THE BIG TOPIC OF CONVERSATION, HE COMMITTED TO FLORIDA STATE IN MARCH OF 2022, WHICH WAS HIS SOPHOMORE YEAR.

HE HAS NOT EVEN PLAYED HIS JUNIOR SEASON YET AND ALMOST INSTANTLY, UPON HIM COMMITTING TO FLORIDA STATE, PEOPLE STARTING SPECULATING HE WON'T STICK WITH THAT COMMITMENT AND THAT'S PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE STATE OF THE PROGRAM BEING SO FAR DOWN RELATIVE TO THEIR EXPECTATIONS.

BUT HE HAS MAINTAINED, THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS THAT FLORIDA STATE IS HIS DREAM SCHOOL.

HIS FAMILY'S DREAM SCHOOL.

THEY GREW UP IN FLORIDA BEFORE HE MOVED TO THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

AND HE WAS A KID AND HIS FAMILY WAS A FAMILY THAT FOREVER WANTED TO SEE HIM IN A SEMINALS UNIFORM AND NOW WE'RE 12 DAYS AWAY FROM NATIONAL SIGNING DAY AND HE IS STILL TELLING THE WHOLE WORLD, WHETHER IT'S ESPN OR RECRUITING 2021 THAT HE'S NOT FLIPPING, HE'S GOING TO FLORIDA STATE.

>> THE BEAUTY WITH THE COLLEGE AND ABILITY TO TRANSFER PROTOCOLS, YOU CAN GET YOUR PICTURE TAKEN AND IN 12 MONTHS, MOVE ON TO WHEREVER YOU WANT TO GO.

THAT'S A GREAT STORY OF LOYALTY.

THERE ARE STILL PLAYERS THAT GROW UP WITH THAT DREAM OF PLAYING IN CERTAIN UNIFORM AND CAN JUST ENVISION THEMSELVES DOING IT.

>> I MEAN, THE OTHER BIG STORY HERE IS TRAVIS HUNTER.

COMING BACK TO PLAY FROM AN ANKLE INJURY.

AND I'M SURE THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE AND LENNY GREGORY SAYS I BET THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE SAYING LOOK, YOU JUST HURT YOUR ANKLE, BROKE YOUR ANKLE.

YOU SHOULD NOT COME BACK AND PLAY YOUR SENIOR SEASON AND FINISH THIS OUT.

YOU SHOULD NOT COME BACK TO THE PLAYOFFS.

YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THIS.

YOU'RE THE NUMBER ONE PROSPECT.

NOTHING TO GAIN PERSONALLY BY DOING THIS.

I THINK ALL THAT SHOWS YOU WHAT KIND OF COMPETITOR TRAVIS HUNTER IS THAT HE CAME BACK FROM HIS INJURY, WHETHER HE HAD NOTHING TO PROVE PERSONALLY, JUST SO HE COULD HELP LEAD HIS TEAM TO A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

>> THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU REMEMBER FOREVER.

YOUR HIGH SCHOOL TEAMMATES, COLLEGE TEAMMATES, BEFORE IT BECOME AS BUSINESS.

FOR IT'S GREAT TO SEE A YOUNG MAN APPROACHING IT THAT WAY WANTING TO GO OUT, SOLIDIFY HIMSELF AS THE TOP TALENT BEFORE HE MOVES ON.

BALL'S GOING TO ROLL DEAD AT THE 30-YARD LINE.

THAT'S WHERE THE EAGLES GO ON OFFENSE WITH 2:16 TO PLAY.

23 OF 29 PASSING FOR 205 YARDS.

ONE TOUCHDOWN PASS, THE TRAVIS HUNTER.

7 FOR 99 RUSHING.

YOU KNOW, HE GETS LOST IN THE SHADOW.

BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT HE DOES AS HE PLAYS COLLEGE FOOTBALL AFTER THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AS HE GOES TO PLAY IN A SCHOOL OF MISSOURI.

>> A COOL DEMEANOR WITH A BIG ARM.

YOU CAN SEE HIM READY TO CELEBRATE, GOING TO STATE.

AND SOLIDIFY TOP TIER, AS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WALTON OR MILTON ARE GOING TO GIVE THEM A GAME >> HOW ABOUT THIS, A FRESHMAN BEEN OFFERED BY GEORGIA TECH.

THEY GOT THE ICE COOLER BATH COMING UP HERE FOR LENNY GREGORY.

AND THEY GOT HIM.

FOR ONCE THEY GOT THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR.

>> SINCE THE BYU DAYS.

>> LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GETTING THE ASSISTANT COACHES RIGHT NOW.

>> WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THIS OFFENSE AND RIGHTFULLY SO.

WHEN YOU CAN -- >> THEY GOT IT.

>> YOU HAVE TO CELEBRATE.

SO, HE DOES SMILE.

>> HE HAS DONE A MAGNIFICENT JOB WITH THIS PROGRAM.

BACK WHEN SAM HORN WAS A NINTH GRADER, LENNY GREGORY WILL TELL YOU THEY WERE NOT VERY GOOD AND HE DID NOT PLAY SAM HORN MUCH HIS FRESHMAN YEAR BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT HIM TO GET HURT.

THEY FINALLY PUT HIM AGAINST THE PLAYOFFS IN THE FIRST ROUND AND HE THREW FOR MORE YARDS IN THE ONE GAME THAN THE ENTIRE YEAR.

BOY V THINGS CHANGED FOR THE COLLINS HILL EAGLES.

>> START CALLING YOU A GURU FOR THOSE KIND OF MOVES FOR THEIR TOP TALENT AND SAM HORN IS THE X-FACTOREN THE SEASON.

A PLAYER THAT'S BEEN ABLE TO SPREAD THE BALL AROUND MULTIPLE RECEIVERS.

>> THE KNEE TAKEN AND THE VICTORY.

HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

COLLINS HILL BACK IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

THIS TIME THEY WILL BE THE FAVORITE.

A YEAR AGO THEY WERE THE UNDERDOG TO GRAYSON.

HERE IN 2021, THEY HAVE DISPATCHED THE GRAYSON RAMS.

AND ENDED THEIR SEASON AT 10-4.

COLLINS HILL STEAM ROLLS TO 14-0.

WITH A CONVINCING 31-0 VICTORY, THEY TOOK OVER THE GAME IN THE THIRD QUARTER, SCORING THREE TOUCHDOWNS.

TRAVIS HUNTER DOING BACK FLIPS ON THE FIELD AS THOUGH IT'S NOTHING.

>> THEY'RE CRINGING WHEN THEY SAW IT RIGHT THERE.

SLOW DOWN, YOUNG MAN, SLOW DOWN.

WHAT A GREAT GAME HE HAD, THIS OFFENSE.

FINALLY FOUND THE GROOVE LATE IN THE SECOND QUARTER AND THE DEFENSE BARELY GAVE AN INCH TO THE RAMS AT ANY PHASE, WHETHER IT'S RUNNING THE BALL, THROWING THE BALL ON THE EDGE AND NOT DOWN THE FIELD VERTICALLY AT ALL.

WHAT A DISPLAY BY COLLINS HILL.

>> A COUPLE OF KIDS RANEN THE FIELD AND HE HANDS THEM HIS GLOVES, SIGNS AUTOGRAPHS.

HE HAS BECOME A SUPERSTAR IN THE COLLINS HILL COMMUNITY.

KIDS FLOCK TO HIM TO GET HIS AUTOGRAPH TOO, GET THEIR PICTURE TAKEN WITH HIM.

HE'S ABOUT AS BIG TIME AS YOU CAN BE AS A HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER AND FROM EVERYTHING YOU HEAR, YOU SEE THE SELFIES, HE'S A GREAT KID.

A HUMBLE KID.

DOESN'T REALLY ENJOY THE SPOTLIGHT.

ENJOYS BEING WITH HIS TEAMMATES.

>> AND WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HIM COMING BACK AND PLAYING, TO KNOW THE KID-LIKE ATTITUDE IS STILL IN HIM YORKS CUSEE IT ON DISPLAY RIGHT THERE.

>> 31-0, COLLINS HILL MOVES INTO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AGAINST WALTON OR MILTON NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT AT CENTER PARK STADIUM IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA.

IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE AND TONIGHT'S PLAYER OF THE GAME, PRESENTED BY THE GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION.

COTTON, THE NATURAL CHOICE AND THE PLAYER OF THE GAME IS TRAVIS HUNTER.

BUT FIRST, LENNY GREGORY STANDING BY WITH WYLIE.

>> COACH, TELL ME ABOUT THE THIRD QUARTER TO START THE QUARTER OFF WITH A LONG DRIVE, WITH A THREE-SCORE GAME.

>> WE EMPHASIZE THAT, THE FIRST SERIES OF OFFENSE, DEFENSE.

WE PRACTICED IT, REHEARSED IT.

AND OUR KIDS LOCKED IN THE ADJUSTMENTS.

ASSISTANT COACHES DID A TREMENDOUS JOB GETTING THE KIDS READY.

TO SEE THEM EXECUTE LIKE THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.

>> WHAT WAS THE KEY FOR THEM TONIGHT?

>> WE TOLD THEM AT HALFTIME, IF THEY DON'T SCORE, WE WIN.

IT'S ON OUR BACK.

IF OUR OFFENSE IS GOING TO STRUGGLE, SO BE IT.

DEFENSE GOT TO STEP UP AND OUR KIDS RESPONDED.

>> WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TRAVIS HUNTER BUT TELL US ABOUT THAT.

MAKING THE RUN TO STATE FINALS.

>> THAT TELLS YOU WHO HE IS.

HE'S A HIGH CHARACTER KID, LOYAL, LOVES THE COMMUNITY AND JUST LIKE HIS COMMITMENT TO FLORIDA STATE.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW IF HE'S GOING TO WAVER.

THE GUY IS LOYAL.

HE WOULDN'T MISS IT FOR THE WORLD AND JUST GLAD HE'S BACK AND MAN, I LOVE THAT KID AND WE GOT ANOTHER GAME WITH HIM.

>> WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO GO BACK THE STATE FINALS WITH THE CHANCE TO WIN THE FIRST STATE CHAMPGENSHIP IN SCHOOL HISTORY?

>> LAST YEAR, WE CAME SHORT AND EVERYBODY MADE A COMMITMENT, COACHES, PLAYERS.

WE MADE A COMMITMENT THAT OUR GOAL WAS TO FINISH THE MISSION AND GET BACK THERE AND IT WAS JUST GREAT.

IT'S GREAT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY GRAYSON TONIGHT.

OUR KIDS, THEY'RE FIRED UP.

>> CONGRATULATIONS AND AS YOU PUT IT, THE STAR OF THE SHOW UP HERE AGAIN.

COACH GREGORY AND NOW WE HAVE THE GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME.

NATURAL CHOICE FOR COTTON IN GEORGIA.

AND BEFORE WE GET INTO STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON, TELL ME WHAT IT WAS LIKE TAKING THE FIELD AGAINST GRAYSON HERE ON YOUR HOME FIELD.

>> YOU KNOW T WAS AN HONOR.

IT WAS JUST A SMOOGTS GROOVL AND WE KNOW WE HAD SOMETHING TO PRUVL.

THEY BEAT US TWO TIMES LAST YEAR.

WE WAS NOT HAVING THAT TONIGHT.

>> DID YOU EVER CONSIDER, AFTER THE INJURY EARLY OCTOBER, LET ME STEP OFF THE GAS AND GET READY FOR THE COLLEGE CAREER?

>> I MADE SURE I WAS 100% BEFORE I CAME OUT HERE TO PLAY FOR MY GUY.

>> STILL NO WAVERING?

>> LIKE MY COACH SAID BEFORE I'M VERY LOYAL AND I'M LOYAL TO EVERYBODY I TALK IT.

SO, PRETTY MUCH I'M GEING WITH FLORIDA STATE.

>> WHAT IS THAT GOING TO MEAN FOR THE COMMUNITY AND SENIOR CLASS?

>> IT'S GEMEAN A LOT TO ME.

I STARTED PLAYING BASKETBALL AND CAME BACK TO THE FOOTBALL FIELD.

FOR THAT'S GOING TO MEAN A LOT.

FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP IN STATE HISTORY.

WE'RE GOING BACK TO WORK.

NO TIME TO REST.

>> NO TIME TO REST.

OUR GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GIM.

BIG THANKS TO TRAVIS HUNTER.

LET'S GO BACK TO THE STUDIO.

>> THANK YOU, WYLIE.

MILLION DOLLAR SMILE.

YOU GOT TO LOVE THE ENTHUSIASM AND PERSONALITY.

I KNOW EVERYBODY OUT THERE TALKING ABOUT FLIPS.

BUT YOU HEAR HIM SAY I BELIEVE HIM.

I BELIEVE HIM WHEN HE SAYS HE'S LOYAL AND STICKING TO THEM AND HE'S LOYAL FOR HIS TEAM AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE PLAYING FOR THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT.

>> WHEN DID WE START PRESSING DOWN FLORIDA STATE?

THAT'S A BIG-TIME COLLEGE.

>> BEING THE NUMBER ONE PROSPECT AND SAYING WHEN I'M HEALTHYERING I'M COMING BACK.

THEY BEAT GRAYSON.

LENNY GREGORY, THEY TOLD US, A BASELESS OPPONENT AND ALL THAT STUFF.

COMES OUT, THEY WERE NOT A FACELESS OPPONENT.

GRAYSON WAS A VERY IMPORTANT OPPONENT IN A VERY BIG WIN THAT THEY HAD TO GET AS A PROGRAM.

>> SEEMS THEY HAD A LITTLE REVENGE IN THEIR ATTITUDE AT THE END, WHEN YOU SAW THE COACH'S SMILE AND THE PLAYER'S REACTION.

>> WE'RE NOT DONE TONIGHT BECAUSE THE POST-GAME SHOW IS COMING UP NEXT.

AND WE'RE NOT DONE ON GPB.

WE STILL HAVE 11 GAMES TO GO BEFORE THE SEASON IS OVER AND IT WILL START THURSDAY AT CENTER PARK STADIUM.

THE FLAG FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS AND THE SINGLE A CHAMPIONSHIPS AND WE WILL SEE YOU THEN.

AND NOW FOR WAYNE GANDY, JOHN NELSON, WYLIE BALERED, HAN AGOOD AND OUR ENTIRE GPB TEAM, I'M MATT STEWART.

SO LONG FROM NOW FROM THE HILL, THE ALREADY FAMOUS GPB SPORTS POST GAME SHOW IS STARTING RIGHT NOW.
