WE WELCOME YOU TO MARIETTA AS NORTH COBB COMES TO TOWN TO TAKE ON WALTON.
GOOD EVENING.
BIG TONIGHT.
THE WINNER WILL TAKE THE LEAD IN THE RACE TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
IT IS ALSO VERY COMPELLING BECAUSE OF THE CONTRASTING GAME PLANS.
>> WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT TEAMS, NORTH COBB WITH A BIG OFFENSIVE LINE .
WALTON, A BRILLIANT QUARTERBACK TRYING TO SPREAD THE BALL AROUND THE FIELD.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT WALTON, THEY ARE 4-1 ON THE SEASON.
YOU MENTIONED THE QUARTERBACK, JEREMY HECKLINSKI, BUT, HE HAS GOT PLENTY OF OFFERS COMING HIS WAY.
>> RIGHT NOW HE IS PUTTING UP 41 POINTS PER GAME.
HE HAS GOT BRILLIANT ARM TALENT.
HE GETS HIS RECEIVERS INVOLVED AND HE IS A BIG TIME PLAYER.
>> RUNNING BACK MAKARI BODIFORD HAS BEEN OFFERED BY UMASS.
>> THE COMPLETE PACKAGE.
HE IS PHYSICAL, HE IS HARD TO TACKLE IN THE SECONDARY.
HE WILL PUNISH YOU.
>> ANOTHER JUNIOR ON DEFENSE IS THREE-STAR ASHTON WOODS, HE HAS 18 OFFERS, INCLUDING TENNESSEE AND WAKE FORREST.
>> 58 TACKLES FOR ASHTON WOODS.
HE IS A PHYSICAL GUY.
HE CAN MAKE PLAYS ALL OVER THE FIELD.
THEY WILL NEED HIM TO TRY TO STOP THIS OFFENSE.
>> NORTH COBB, 3-2 ON THE SEASON.
TRYING TO OVERCOME DARYL BOSTON OF MALACHI SINGLETON, HE IS OUT WITH A BROKEN BONE IN HIS FOOT.
THE SOPHOMORE, SYDNEY GRIMSTEAD IS LEARNING ON THE JOB.
>> HE HAS BEEN MAKING GREAT DECISIONS.
HE HAS THE HOME RUN ABILITY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.
HE IS DOING A GOOD JOB.
>> HOW ABOUT BENJAMIN HALL, HE HAS COMMITTED TO MICHIGAN.
>> HE IS FAST, HE IS PHYSICAL, HE HAS GOT GREAT BALANCE, THEY WILL NEED HIM AND DAVID MBADINGA TO CONTROL THE CLOCK.
>> ON DEFENSE THEY GET A BIG BOOST AS QUENTIN AJIERO HE HAS COMMITTED TO DUKE.
>> IT IS GREAT TO HAVE HIM BACK.
>> IT SHOULD BE A FUN ONE.
THE THIRD MEMBER OF THE TEAM IS BACK WITH US STANDING BY.
>> Reporter: PART OF THE MESSAGE AT WALTON IS ABOUT THE LAST PLAY, HERE IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT EVERY SINGLE PLAY WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT WALTON.
IT REFERENCES LAST PLAY, FOR DANIEL BRUNNER HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT LAST PLAY IS BEHIND YOU.
ALSO, IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE NUMBER ONE FAN HERE AT WALTON, A MAN BY THE NAME OF BILL GLASS, HE WAS THE CUSTODIAN, HE NEVER MISSED A GAME.
INSPIRATION, CAME IN 2016 WHEN HE WAS ASKED TO GIVE THE KEYNOTE FOR THE EVENING OF INSPIRATION.
HE HAS BEEN AN INSPIRATION EVER SINCE.
THAT IS PART OF THE INSPIRATION THAT WE HAVE HERE.
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
>> Reporter: THANK YOU, IT LOOKS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT IT MARIETTA.
TONIGHT THE WEB GAME IS BETWEEN KENNESAW MOUNTAIN AND OSBORN.
THE CARDINALS ARE 5-0.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.

ADDISON GOOLSBY TRYING TO TAKE OVER.
YOU WANT TO KEEP THE QUARTERBACK ON THE SIDELINES.
THE ONE A -- >> A THREE AND OUT FOR NORTH COBB COULD SO, THE OPENING KICKOFF IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA.
SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES.
CALEB JENKINS WILL PROBABLY NOT GET THE BALL.
EXPECT SOME KIND OF POP UP KICK RIGHT HERE.
NORTH COBB HAD TWO KICK RETURN TOUCHDOWNS A YEAR AGO WHEN THEY BEAT WALTON 51-29 SO THE LAST THING THEY WANT TO DO IS KICK THIS BALL DEEP.
THAT IS AN OFFSIDE KICK.
IT IS UP FOR GRABS AT THE 50-YARD LINE.
NOT SURPRISED THEY DID THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG CONCERN.
>> A NICE JOB BY CAYDEN TROTTER.
SHOWING SOME STRONG HANDS AND GIVING HIS TEAM GREAT FIELD POSITION.
>> HE WAS VERY AGGRESSIVE GETTING THAT BALL.
>> HERE IS NORTH COBB ON OFFENSE.
THIS WILL BE HANDED OFF TO DAVID EZIOMUME ON THE FIRST PLAY.
THAT WAS DAVIS CALLAHAN MAKING THE STOP.
HERE ARE THE NUMBERS FOR THE QUARTERBACK.
XT SEVEN COMPLETION RATE.
A TOUCHDOWN AS WELL AS >> HE IS DOING A GOOD JOB HANDLING THE PRESSURE.
>> HE GETS TACKLED BY JAKE THORNER.
HERE IS A LOOK AT THE STARTING LINEUP.
BENJAMIN HALL NOT IN THE STARTING LINEUP.
THAT IS PROBABLY INCONSEQUENTIAL.
>> IF YOU ARE WALTON, THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT.
>> FIRST DOWN, DAVID MBADINGA, A TOUCHDOWN SAVING TACKLE BY ASHTON WOODS.
>> GREAT WALKING ON THAT RIGHT SIDE .
THAT IS THAT THREE-HEADED MONSTER AT RUNNING BACK.
THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS.
>> DAVID MBADINGA, THERE LEADING RUSHER.
THIS IS ANOTHER HANDOFF.
DAVID MBADINGA WITH ANOTHER NICE CARRY.
>> YOU GET A SENSE THAT DAVID MBADINGA IS TRYING TO REMIND THE COACH TO GIVE HIM A COUPLE OF PLAYS.
NICE JOB.
THE ONE THEY WILL TAKE A LOSS AT 38-YARD LINE.
I THINK THAT WAS GREGORY GETTING TO HIM.
HERE IS THE STARTING LINEUP FOR NORTH COBB.
ANDERSON HAS JUST COMMITTED TO WASHINGTON.
IN THE SECONDARY, PRESLEY CALLAHAN.
A DELAYED HANDOFF.
DOWN TO THE 11-YARD LINE GOES BENJAMIN HALL.

GRIMSTEAD SHOWING PATIENCE.
WATCHES THE HOLE OPEN UP.
WHAT A LUXURY TO GET THAT BALL TO BENJAMIN HALL IN SITUATION.
>> DAVID EZIOMUME INSIDE THE TEN.
WE HAVE SEEN THREE RUNNING BACKS ALREADY.
SO, FOUR BALL CARRIERS ON THIS OPENING DRIVE.
>> WHAT A JOB BY THE OFFENSE.
YOU CAN SEE THEY WILL HIT YOU AT ALL KINDS OF ANGLES.
>> THEY USE DAVID EZIOMUME A LOT MORE IN THE PASSING GAME.
DAVID MBADINGA INSIDE THE SIX.
MATTHEW TRAYNOR, A QUARTERBACK AT SEQUOIA A YEAR AGO HAS COMMITTED TO RICHMOND.
>> HE WILL HAVE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE SOME TACKLES.
RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE IN A GROOVE RUNNING THE BALL.
>> THEY HAVE CONVERTED TWICE NOW.
THIS IS THIRD AND FIVE.
NORTH COBB WILL CALL A TIMEOUT.
WE WILL STEP ASIDE AS THEY MAKE THE DECISION.
>>> I WANT TO THANK GPB FOR COMING OUT HERE.
ALSO I WANT TO THANK SYDNEY OTT FOR THE CHECK.
BACK YOU.
>> Matt: THIS IS THE FIRST FRIDAY OF OCTOBER.
THIS IS JUST THE SECOND HOME GAME FOR WALTON.
THEY HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD.

>> Matt: EXPECT TO SEE A LOT OF THIS.
THEY GIVE THEM A SHORT FIELD.
LOOK HOW MUCH TIME THEY USE GOING 50 YARDS.
THERE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST HECKLINSKI MIGHT BE THERE BALL CONTROL OFFENSE.
CAMERAN LOYD STANDING DEEP TO TAKE THE KICK FROM MORALES.
NICE KICK.
THIS WILL NOT BE RETURNED.
THAT WAS NUMBER TEN ON THE RETURN, WYATT SONDERMAN.
THAT WILL BRING IT OUT TO THE 20-YARD LINE.
IT IS OFFERS FIRST CHANCE TO SEE HECKLINSKI.
OVER 1700 YARDS.
HE IS AVERAGING 340 PASSING PER GAME.
>> Wayne: HE HAS ONLY THROWN FOUR INTERCEPTIONS.
HE PLAYS CLEAN.
>> Matt: THAT WILL GO FOR ABOUT FOUR.
PHILIP EICHELZER HAS COMMITTED TO PRINCETON.
AYDEN JACKSON, ONE OF THEIR TOP RECEIVERS, HE GOT HURT LAST WEEK, BUT, THEY ARE HOPING HE CAN GO.
THE PASS IS COMPLETE TO CAMERAN LOYD.

LOOK AT HIS RELEASE.
HE HAS GOT SUCH A NATURAL ABILITY.
FINDING HIS FAVORITE TARGET IN CAMERAN LOYD.
HE HAS HAD A BIG YEAR SO FAR.

HE DOES HAVE A STRONG ARM AND ALSO, VERY MAKARI BODIFORD WITH A CARRY.
JENKINS MAKING THE STOP FOR NORTH COBB AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE STARTERS FOR THEM.

THE TWINS AT LINEBACKER.
SECOND DOWN AND SEVEN FROM THE 42.
A FIRST DOWN AND MORE TO CAMERAN LOYD.
HE IS TACKLED BY JORDAN LONAS.
>> Wayne: AS AS THEY SAW THE PRESSURE THEY KNEW THEY HAD ONE ON ONE.
THAT IS A GOOD PLAY.
THIS COMBINATION IS VERY DANGEROUS.

HE WAS QUESTIONABLE AS TO PLAYING THIS WEEK.
THAT IS A NICE RUN.

>> Matt: LOOK HOW QUICKLY WALTON HAS COME RIGHT DOWN THE FIELD.
THEY ARE INSIDE THE 30.
HECKLINSKI THROWS IT ON THE RUN.
NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE CATCH INSIDE THE 25 WAS EMERSON SMITH.
HECKLINSKI, UNDER PRESSURE.
>> Wayne: HE DOES HAVE ENOUGH FROM THE PRESSURE.
YOU WILL SEE THAT INELIGIBLE RECEIVER A LOT OF TIMES.
YOU ALWAYS WILL.
ESPECIALLY ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE.
>> Matt: THAT IS COMPLETE.
LOYD CLOSE TO THE FIRST DOWN.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE GAME.
>> Wayne: THIS IS A HIGH POWERED OFFENSE.
THEY WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO CONVERT ON THIRD DOWN.
ROWE, --NORTH COBB, THAT DEFENSE WILL HAVE TO MAKE THEM EARN IT.
>> Matt: MAKARI BODIFORD, ONLY HAD THAT ONE OFFER FROM UMASS.
HE IS GOING TO GET A LOT MORE.
>> Wayne: I LOVE THE WAY THAT HE FALLS FORWARD.
HE IS VIOLENT AT THE END OF THE RUN.
HE RUNS WITH PHYSICALITY.

RUSSELL WILSON, OUTSIDE OF LAST NIGHT, THAT WAS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE.
LET'S SEE WHAT WALTON DOES HERE.
THEY ARE FOUR OF FOUR ON THEIR FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS THIS YEAR.
WYATT SONDERMAN WILL BE THE HOLDER.
A GOOD SNAP.
WALTON COMES UP EMPTY ON THEIR OPENING POSITION.
7-0 NORTH COBB.
TWO MINUTES TO PLAY IN THE FIRST QUARTER.
>> Matt: WELCOME BACK.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT CARDINAL STADIUM.
IF OSBORNE GET THE WIN TONIGHT THEY WILL HAVE MORE WINS SINCE THEY HAVE HAD IN 2015.
THE MUSTANGS UP 21-0.
THE WALTON FANS MIGHT BE SHARING IN THAT MULTI SCREEN EXPERIENCE TONIGHT.
THAT IS THE NEXT OPPONENT FOR WALTON.
GRIMSTEAD TAKES OFF RUNNING.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB.
I THINK HE IS SHOWING US SOME SPEED.
>> Matt: THE KEY WITH HIM IS HIM GETTING COMFORTABLE RUNNING.
WE HAVE SEEN SOME REALLY GOOD RUNS.
I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED WITH HIM SO FAR.
THAT IS BENJAMIN HALL ON THE CARRY.
>> Wayne: NICE CUT BY BENJAMIN HALL KEEPING HIS SHOULDERS SQUARE.
THE YOUNG KID STEPPING IN.
>> Matt: HALL IS THE THIRD RATED SENIOR RUNNING BACK IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE KEYS TO THE GAME.
>> Wayne: CONTROLLING THE CLOCK.
SO FAR, SO GOOD, CONTROLLING THE CLOCK.
FOR WALTON, ON DEFENSE, YOU CAN'T LET NORTH COBB GET IN THE END ZONE ON THESE LONG DRIVES.
>> Matt: AND BE PREPARED TO BE ON THE FIELD ON FOURTH DOWN.
WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN THAT.
HALL GETS TAKEN DOWN AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE .
THAT IS THE NORTH COBB LEADING 7-0.
WE HAVE GOT A GREAT ONE GOING TONIGHT.
>> Matt: WE ARE GETTING READY SECOND QUARTER.
WE ARE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH OF THE REGULAR-SEASON, BUT, WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO UNTIL DECEMBER.
NORTH COBB HAVE DECIDED TO PUNT.
TJ SMITH, FORMER BACKUP QUARTERBACK, WILL KICK IT.
>> Referee: OFFSIDES.
DEFENSE.
FIRST DOWN.
>> Matt: WOW.
HOW ABOUT THAT.
THAT IS BETTER THAN GOING FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN.
>> Wayne: YOU CAN'T GIVE THIS OFFENSE A CHANCE.
NORTH COBB RUNNING THE BALL, EATING UP CLOCK AND A BIG BREAK FOR THEM TO START THIS QUARTER.
>> Matt: 51ST DOWNS FOR NORTH COBB ALREADY IN THIS GAME.
THEY HAVE DONE EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE WANTED TO DO.
THEY HAVE PLAYED THE BALL CONTROL.
DAVID MBADINGA WILL GET ABOUT EIGHT ON THE PLAY.
>> Wayne: GREAT BLOCKING BY HALL.
NICE JOB BY ASHTON WOODS AS WELL.
>> Matt: SECOND DOWN.
HE HAD THE 9 YARDS IN THEIR LAST GAME.
A TEAM-LEADING SIX TOUCHDOWNS.
THAT IS INCOMPLETE.
HE TRIED TO GET THE BALL TO MOHAMMED.
>> Wayne: PRESSURE ON THE EDGE AGAIN.
YOU DON'T WANT HIM SCRAMBLING OUTSIDE.
MAKE HIM BEAT YOU FROM THE POCKET.
BEFORE -- >> Matt: THIRD DOWN.
I THINK THEY HAVE CONVERTED ALL OF ONE THIRD DOWN.
>> Wayne: GRIGSBY LEAVING A LITTLE EARLY.
>> Matt: NOW, THIRD DOWN.
>> Wayne: NORTH COBB, NOT SHY RUNNING THE BALL.
>> Matt: I THINK THEY WILL GO FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN.
THE BALL IS ON THE 45.
THE LINE TO GAIN IS THE 48.
DAVID MBADINGA IN MOTION.
INSTEAD, THEY GO WITH DAVID EZIOMUME.
DAVID EZIOMUME INSIDE THE 20-YARD LINE.
CALLAHAN FINALLY GOT HIM ON THE GROUND, BUT, A BIG AGAIN FOR ROWE.
>> Wayne: GOOD BLOCK ON THE EDGE.
DAVID EZIOMUME, ONE OF THE TOP ATHLETES IN THE STATE.
>> Matt: A 39-YARD PICK UP.
MATTHEW TRAYNOR WITH THE TACKLE ON HALL.
>> Wayne: THIS DEFENSE HAS ITS WORK CUT OUT FOR THEM TONIGHT.
THERE IS A LOT OF WORK FOR THEM RIGHT NOW.
>> Matt: I THOUGHT THAT SMALL DEFENSIVE LINE FOR WALTON WOULD HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL.
AGAIN, HALL FALLING FORWARD TO THE 14-YARD LINE.
ANDERSON MAKING THE STOP.
A BIG WEEK FOR HIM, AS I MENTIONED, HE HAS COMMITTED TO WASHINGTON.
THIRD DOWN.
>> Wayne: A HIGH MOTOR GUY.
WATCH FOR A RUN BLITZ TO TRY TO SLOW THIS RUN THE GAME DOWN.
>> Matt: THAT IS SHORT OF A FIRST DOWN.
NASIER PRESSLEY DOES A GOOD JOB.
THEY ARE GOING FOR IT HERE.
>> Wayne: NO QUESTION, THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP THIS OFFENSE ON THE FIELD.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO BEAT WALTON YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE DRIVE ALIVE.
>> Matt: NORTH COBB THREATENING TO TAKE A TWO TOUCHDOWN LEAD.
>> Wayne: THEY CAN'T LET THEM GO ON THESE LONG DRIVES.
>> Matt: FIRST DOWN.
DAVID MBADINGA SPINNING OUT OF THE TACKLE.
HE IS TAKEN ABOUT CALLAHAN.
CALLAHAN, A GREAT STORY, 35 TACKLES ON THE YEAR.
HE HAS WAITED HIS TURN.
HE IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO DID NOT GET A START UNTIL HIS SENIOR SEASON.
SECOND DOWN.
GRIMSTEAD RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE.
TOUCHDOWN, NORTH COBB!
>> Wayne: A BEAUTIFUL READ BY GRIMSTEAD.
THIS RUN GAME IS SO IMPRESSIVE.

NO POINT AFTER THIS TIME AROUND FOR NORTH COBB.
NORTH COBB IMPOSING THEIR WILL ON THE WALTON DEFENSE AS GRIMSTEAD TAKES IT UP THE MIDDLE FOR SIX.
>> Matt: NORTH COBB CONTROLLING THE GAME LEADING WALTON 13-0.
TWO WEEKS AGO WE SAW NORTH COBB GET THE WIN OVER MILTON.
A VERY EMOTIONAL SHANE QUEEN AFTER THE GAME EMBRACED HIS RUNNING BACK, BENJAMIN HALL, HE HAD KIND OF BEEN IN THE DOGHOUSE.
THIS IS WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR ON FRIDAY NIGHTS, WATCH THIS.
HIS ENTIRE TEAM CELEBRATING WITH HIM.
WHAT A MOMENT.
THAT WAS AN INTERVIEW THAT, SHANE QUEEN, SAYS HE HAS WATCHED A NUMBER OF TIMES.
HE SAID EVERY TIME THAT HE WATCHES IT HE GETS EMOTIONAL.
>> Wayne: A GREAT JOB OF THAT TEAM RESPONDING.
>> Matt: THEY WERE COMING OFF AN UPSET LOSS TO THE NORTH SIDE.
HE PUT THEM TO THE TEST THAT WEEK IN PRACTICE.
LET'S SEE IF WALTON CAN GET SOMETHING GOING ON OFFENSE.
WALTON WILL BRING IT OUT TO THE 20-YARD LINE.
THEY DID HAVE A NICE OPENING DRIVE BUT THEY DID MISS THE FIELD GOAL.
YOU HAVE GOT TO FIGURE HOW MANY OTHER FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS WE ARE GOING TO SEE.
>> Wayne: THEY HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS CLOCK USAGE BY NORTH COBB.
THEY HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES.
>> Matt: WE DO WHEN WE SAW HECKLINSKI LAST YEAR THAT WALTON WAS GOING TO BE OKAY IN THAT QUARTERBACK ROOM.
>> Wayne: THIS DEFENSE OF NORTH COBB IS VERY PHYSICAL.
THEY WILL MIX IT UP WITH YOU.
>> Matt: SECOND AND NINE.
A BUNCH OF STREET FIGHTERS, THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE.
I MEAN THAT IN THE MOST COMPLEMENTARY WAY.
LOYD WITH A FIRST DOWN.
THE BALL IS OUT INTO THE HANDS OF MATTHEW TRAYNOR.
ACTUALLY, THAT IS WYATT SONDERMAN WITH THE BALL.
THERE IS ALSO A FLAG DOWN.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB GETTING THE BALL OUT.
WATCH AS CHARLES MCCARTHERENS STRIPS THE BALL.
NICE JOB BY HIM.
>> Matt: WE SAW ON THE REPLAY, WYATT SONDERMAN GOT HIT IN THE BACK BY ONE OF THE NORTH COBB DEFENDERS.
THAT IS WHAT THE OFFICIAL SAW WHEN HE THREW THE FLAG.
>> Wayne: THE COACH TELLING THEM TO PLAY SMART.
DON'T BEAT YOURSELF.
NICE JOB BY THE DEFENSE GETTING THAT BALL OUT.
>> Referee: FALSE START.
OFFENSE.
5-YARD PENALTY.
IT WILL REMAIN FIRST DOWN.
>> Matt: YOU SAW THE RIGHT TACKLE WITH THE MOVEMENT.
>> Wayne: NORTH COBB SHOWING A LOT OF PRESSURE.
>> Matt: HECKLINSKI TO WYATT SONDERMAN.
DOWN TO THE 27-YARD LINE.
HE DIDN'T PLAY LAST YEAR AS A SOPHOMORE AS HE WANTED TO CONCENTRATE ON BASEBALL.
THEY ARE HAPPY HE IS BACK.
>> Wayne: SO RELAXED IN THE POCKET IS HECKLINSKI.
SONDERMAN PLAYS WITH A LOT OF CONFIDENCE.
THAT OFFENSIVE LINE WITH GOOD PROTECTION.
HECKLINSKI REALLY HASN'T BEEN RATTLED.
>> Matt: WE HAVE A PENALTY HERE ON CHARLES MCCARTHERENS.
>> Referee: PASS INTERFERENCE ON THE DEFENSE.
HALF THE DISTANCE.
>> Wayne: YOU CAN SEE HIS HANDS ARE ON THE RECEIVER.
HE WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO MAKE A MOVE.
CHARLES MCCARTHERENS TRYING TO PLEAD HIS CASE.
>> Matt: IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL PUT IT DOWN AT THE 14.
IT IS GOING TO BE A FIRST AND TEN FROM THE 14-YARD LINE.
MAKARI BODIFORD GETS FOUR ON THE PLAY.
OWENS MAKING THE TACKLE.
>> Wayne: GOOD JOB BY THE MAKARI BODIFORD, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE FALLING FORWARD AFTER THE TACKLE.
>> Matt: MAKARI BODIFORD, 606 YARDS RUSHING ON THE SEASON.
THAT IS OUT OF THE HANDS OF WALTERS.
THAT IS A THROW HECKLINSKI HAS CONFIDENCE TO MAKE.
>> Wayne: TIGHT COVERAGE FROM CHARLES MCCARTHERENS.
HE WAS RUNNING STEP TO STEP WITH THE RECEIVER.
HECKLINSKI GIVING HIS RECEIVER A CHANCE TO COME DOWN WITH THE BALL.
>> Matt: YOU HAVE TO FIGURE WALTON IS IN FOURTH DOWN TERRITORY RIGHT HERE.
I DON'T THINK THEY WILL SETTLE FOR A FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT.
TIMEOUT.
A BIG THIRD DOWN COMING UP HERE.
WALTON NEED TO SCORE.
WE WILL STEP ASIDE.
>> Matt: 13-0 NORTH COBB ON TOP.
IT IS TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE WALTON TEAM RESUME.
THERE FOURTH STATE SEMI APPEARANCE.
THE BEST SEASON EVER WAS 2011 AS A GOT TO THE STATE FINALS.
THIRD AND SIX COMING UP.
THIS IS A BIG ONE FOR WALTON AS THEY HAVE THE BALL AT THE A LIVE IN YARD LINE.
CHARLES MCCARTHERENS WITH THE BIG-PLAY DENYING THE WIDE RECEIVER IN THE CORNER OF THE END ZONE.
>> Wayne: HE IS THE BEST CORNER ON THIS NORTH COBB TEAM.
ALWAYS TIGHT COVERAGE BY HIM.
>> Matt: THAT WAS JACKSON.
THEY DID NOT KNOW IF HE WOULD PLAY TONIGHT.
THEY ARE GOING FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN.
HECKLINSKI, SCRAMBLING, GETTING AWAY AT LEAST FOR NOW, TO THE END ZONE, INCOMPLETE!
BROKEN UP BY JENKINS.
THAT WAS GREAT SECONDARY PLAY BY NORTH COBB.
THE BALL WILL GO OVER ON DOWNS.
>> Wayne: THAT WAS A GREAT JOB BY HECKLINSKI.
HE HAD THREE PEOPLE CHASING HIM.
TRYING TO HIT LOYD IN THE BACK OF THE END ZONE.
NICE JOB BY JENKINS.
WHAT A JOB BY HECKLINSKI TO GIVE HIS TEAM A CHANCE.
GOOD DEFENSE.
NO HOLDING BY THE DEFENSE OF NORTH COBB ON THAT PLAY.
>> Matt: CHARLES MCCARTHERENS AND JENKINS BOTH COMING UP WITH BIG-PLAYS ON THAT SERIES.
TRAYNOR MAKING THE TACKLE ON HALL.
HECKLINSKI DID GET IT THERE IN HIS GUYS DIDN'T MAKE THAT CATCH.
>> Wayne: THEY TYPICALLY MAKE THOSE CATCHES FOR HIM.
THAT LAST FOURTH DOWN, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, IT WAS THE PRESSURE OF NORTH COBB.
>> Matt: WALTON HAS GOT TO GET A STOP HERE.
NORTH COBB LOOKING TO GO ON A LONG DRIVE.
CALLAHAN WITH THE TACKLE.
>> Wayne: THIS IS A GREAT READ BY THE QUARTERBACK.
NICE BLOCK BY ADDISON.
>> Matt: 18-YARD PICK UP FOR GRIMSTEAD.
HE WAS SIX OF 14 AGAINST MILTON.
HE HAS GOT A PRETTY GOOD SKILL SET.
GRIMSTEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND HOT AT THE 50-YARD LINE BY JACKSON.
>> Wayne: NICE PICK UP.
HALL WITH A NICE PLAY.
>> Matt: GRIMSTEAD AND FINALLY GREGORY GRETZ HIM ON THE GROUND.
RIGHT NOW, NORTH COBB IS PUTTING ON A CLINIC.
>> Wayne: NOW, IT IS KIND OF YOUR POISON.
>> Matt: HALL DOWN TO THE 31- YARD LINE.
RIGHT NOW THEY ARE IN A DARK ROOM TAKING PUNCHES AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM.
>> Wayne: THEY ARE GOING TO MILK THIS CLOCK.
THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE WALTON THE BALL BACK.
>> Matt: THERE IS A LOOK OF CONCERN ON THE FACE OF DANIEL BRUNNER.
HALL WITH FORWARD PROGRESS.
>> Wayne: GREAT FOOTWORK BY HALL.
HE HAS COMMITTED TO MICHIGAN.
A GREAT JOB BY HIM.
>> Matt: ASHTON WOODS MAKING THE PLAY ON DEFENSE WHEN THEY NEEDED IT THE MOST DROPPING DAVID MBADINGA FOR THE LOSS.
>> Wayne: A BIG HIT BY HIM.
YOU CAN IMAGINE NORTH COBB WOULD DIAL UP ANOTHER RUN.
>> Matt: FOURTH DOWN.
YOU KNOW THEY ARE GOING FOR IT.
YOU DON'T GET OFF THOUGH HOOK WITH THIS NORTH COBB OFFENSE, THEY WILL KEEP YOUR DEFENSE OUT THERE ON THE FIELD.
YOU CAN SEE SINGLETON IN THE BACKGROUND BEHIND SHANE QUEEN.
HE HAS COMMITTED TO ARKANSAS.
TIMEOUT.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH HANNAH.
>> THERE ARE 43 UNBEATEN TEAMS LEFT AROUND THE STATE.
A LOT ARE PLAYING TONIGHT.
WE HAVE ONE OF THE BIGGEST RIVALRY GAMES GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW I THE WILDCATS ARE UP 6-0.
COMING UP WE WILL NAME OUR CHALLENGE WINNER.
YOU HAVE A PLAYER LIKE SINGLETON YOU CAN WAIT, WATCH FOR HIM TO MAKE A PLAY, YOU MIGHT MAKE THE ARGUMENT, THEY MIGHT BE A BETTER OVERALL TEAM, GETTING MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH HIM ON THE SIDELINE.
>> Wayne: SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE UP FOR THAT KIND OF TALENT.
IT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT OFFENSE.
THAT OFFENSIVE LINE IS DOING A GREAT JOB.
>> Matt: I WOULD HATE TO THINK WE HAVE SEEN THE LAST OF SINGLETON IN GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.
THIS WILL BACK THEM UP.
A BIG DECISION FOR SHANE QUEEN.
>> Wayne: THAT IS A KILLER PENALTY OFF OF THE TIMEOUT.
>> Matt: A BIG PLAY RIGHT HERE FOR THE WALTON DEFENSE.
THEY GOT THE FIRST DOWN AND MORE, THEY HAVE GOT THE TOUCHDOWN, DAVID EZIOMUME WITH THE TOUCHDOWN CATCH!
SECOND TIME THEY HAVE THROWN A TOUCHDOWN PASS ON FOURTH DOWN.
>> Wayne: GREAT JOB BY GRIMSTEAD.
THIS HAS BEEN A FUNCTION OF THEM BEING ABLE TO RUN THE BALL ALL NIGHT LONG.
DAVID EZIOMUME, WIDE OPEN DOWN THE FIELD.
>> Matt: SECOND TOUCHDOWN PASS OF THE GAME FOR GRIMSTEAD, WHO HAD ONLY ONE TOUCHDOWN PASS, IN LIMITED ACTION, COMING INTO THE GAME.
THEY ARE GOING FOR TWO RIGHT HERE.
THEY WON'T GET IT.
IT IS 19-0 NORTH COBB.
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT TOUCHDOWN PASS.
IT WAS TAPED.
I THINK IT WAS ASHTON WOODS.
>> Wayne: THAT OFFENSE REALLY BUYING IN.
WE SAW THAT BALL SPUTTER TO GET TO DAVID EZIOMUME.
WHAT A DRIVE.
SCORING DRIVE.
NOW THEY HAVE PUT WALTON IN A PRECIPITOUS HOLE.
>> Wayne: A LOT OF PRESSURE NOW ON WALTON.
THAT DEFENSE IS GETTING TIRED.
THEY HAVE TO GET INTO THE END ZONE.
>> Matt: OVER ONE QUARTERS WORTH OF TOUCHDOWN DRIVES FOR NORTH COBB IN THE FIRST HALF.
HERE IS THE RETURN BY WYATT SONDERMAN.
>> Wayne: NICE PLAY BEHIND THE RUNNER.
>> Referee: HOLDING.
10-YARD PENALTY.
FIRST DOWN.
>> Matt: NOT A WHOLE LOT HAS GONE RIGHT FOR DANIEL BRUNNER'S TEAM TONIGHT.
THE WARRIORS HAVE A TWO WINNING STREAK IN THE ALL-TIME SERIES.
THIS GAME WILL NOT WIN YOU THE CHAMPIONSHIP BUT IT WILL PUT YOU IN THE LEAD.
THERE IS ONLY ONE MONTH LEFT IN THE SEASON.
FIRST DOWN FOR WALTON.
WE WILL SEE WHAT HECKLINSKI CAN DO WITH TWO TIMEOUTS.
THAT IS A FIRST DOWN AT THE 35-YARD LINE.
THAT WAS HUNTER TEAL.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB OF FINDING HUNTER TEAL BY HECKLINSKI.
>> Matt: HECKLINSKI, OUT OF BOUNDS ACROSS THE 50.
GREAT JOB.
>> Wayne: YOU COULD SEE THE PRESSURE COMING.
THAT WAS FITZPATRICK.
>> Matt: THIS IS INCOMPLETE.
JACKSON, SECOND TIME THEY HAVE TRIED TO GO HIS WAY.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT BE HURTING.
HE HURT HIS ANKLE ON A KICK RETURN LAST WEEK.
HE HAS HAD THE BALL GO HIS WAY AT LEAST TWICE TONIGHT WITH NO CATCHES YET.
WE HAVE A FLAG ON NORTH COBB.
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HELD LOYD.
THAT WILL STOP THE CLOCK.
>> Referee: HOLDING ON THE DEFENSE.
A 10-YARD PENALTY.
THAT WILL RESULT IN A FIRST DOWN.
>> Matt: I TELL YOU WHAT THIS NORTH COBB DEFENSE HAS COME UP WITH SOME HUGE PLAYS TO KEEP WALTON OFF THE SCOREBOARD.
>> Wayne: THEY ARE NOT LETTING THIS RECEIVING CORE GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING.
THEY ARE MAKING THEM EARN IT.
>> Matt: FIRST DOWN AND TEN FROM THE 39.
LOYD IN MOTION.
MAKARI BODIFORD ON THE GROUND AS THE BALL WAS COMING TO HIM.
>> Wayne: GOOD JOB OF SETTING UP THE SCREEN.
GOOD JOB BY THE QUARTERBACK.
MAKARI BODIFORD JUST FALLING DOWN.
>> Matt: HE MIGHT HAVE TRIPPED OVER ONE OF HIS OFFENSIVE LINEMAN'S LEGS.
SECOND DOWN AND TEN.
THEY STILL HAVE TWO TIMEOUTS REMAINING.
LEFT IN THE HALF.
IT LOOKED LIKE THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME PUSHING.
JACKSON, HE IS JUST NOT CLOSE TO 100% RIGHT NOW.
>> Wayne: SOMETHING IS NAGGING HIM.
YOU CAN SEE THE FRUSTRATION ON HIS FACE.
HE JUST CAN'T GET THAT SEPARATION.
>> Matt: HE IS A NICE WIDE RECEIVER, HE HAS 12 OFFERS.
HE IS JUST NOT ABLE TO GIVE IT 100% TONIGHT PHYSICALLY.
TO HIS RIGHT.
THAT IS CAUGHT INSIDE THE 15-YARD LINE BY HUNTER TEAL.
THAT IS TWO BIG HATCHES BY HUNTER TEAL ON THIS DRIVE.
>> Wayne: GREAT CONCENTRATION ON HUNTER TEAL.
ONLY A JUNIOR.
HE HAS GOT GREAT HANDS.
HE DID A GREAT JOB BRINGING THAT IN FOR HIS QUARTERBACK.
>> Matt: FIRST DOWN.
THIS TIME THEY GO TO LOYD.
HE IS LOOKING FOR A FLAG AND DOESN'T GET IT.
>> Wayne: TWO TIMEOUTS REMAINING.
YOU PROBABLY HAVE TWO MORE CHANCES TO GET TO THE END ZONE.
>> Matt: THE BALL IS SITTING ON THE 12.
THEY CAN PICK UP A FIRST DOWN, THEORETICALLY.
OFF THE HANDS OF HUNTER TEAL.
I AM NOT SURPRISED THEY WENT BACK TO HIM IN THE RED ZONE.
THEY HAVE HAD SO MANY PASSES COME OUT OF THE HANDS OF THEIR TYPICALLY RELIABLE WIDE RECEIVERS.
>> Wayne: HE JUST COULDN'T COME DOWN WITH THE CATCH.
>> Matt: THIS COULD BE THE LAST PLAY OF THE HALF.
THAT IS INCOMPLETE.
LOYD GOT SMOTHERED BY THE DEFENSE.
THEY HAVE ONE SECOND ON THE CLOCK.
>> Wayne: THAT IS A BIG BODY ON THAT SAFETY POSITION.
>> Matt: THIS IS A 29-YARD ATTEMPT.
IT IS NO GOOD.
THEY MISSED AGAIN.
TWO MISSED FIELD GOALS .
WALTON IS SCORELESS IN THE FIRST HALF.
A OFFENSE THAT AVERAGES 41 POINTS PER GAME.
THEY HAVE BEEN BLANKED IN THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS.
>> Wayne: THEY HAVE NOT GIVEN THEM ANY OPPORTUNITIES TO SCORE.
SO FAR NORTH COBB HOLDING ITS OWN IN A BIG WAY AGAINST THIS WALTON RECEIVING CORE.
>> Matt: SO, 19-0 NORTH COBB.
THIS GAME HAS SCRIPTED OUT EXACTLY THE WAY THAT THEY WANTED IT TO.
I TELL YOU WHAT, THIS NORTH COBB SECONDARY, HAVE PLAYED WELL IN THE END ZONE.
THEY HAVE BEEN VERY PHYSICAL.
>> Wayne: THE SECONDARY PLAYING TIGHT COVERAGE.
THEY WERE JUST OUTSTANDING IN THAT FIRST HALF.
>> Matt: ALL RIGHT, LET'S CHECK IN WITH JOHN.
>> I AM HERE WITH THE COACH.
I DON'T THINK THIS COULD HAVE GONE ANY BETTER FOR YOU.
>> I TOLD THEM IF WE CAN GET FOUR GOOD DRIVES I WILL TAKE IT BECAUSE THEY ARE SO DANGEROUS.
THE OFFENSE IS ALSO CHEWING UP THE CLOCK.
>> WITH THAT OFFENSE YOU ARE HITTING THEM FROM DIRECTIONS AND THEY SEEM TO BE ON THEIR BACK FOOT.
>> THEY ARE VERY TALENTED BUT WE WERE ABLE TO RUN THE FOOTBALL.
THE QUARTERBACK IS DOING A GREAT JOB MANAGING THE GAME.
WE HAVE GOT TO CONTINUE.

>> I WILL ASK DANIEL BRUNNER, IT SEEMS, RIGHT NOW NORTH COBB HAS BEEN KEEPING WALTON GUESSING.
NORTH COBB IS LITERALLY KEEPING THE DEFENSE FOR WALTON ON THE FIELD.
IT HAS BEEN FUN TO WATCH NORTH COBB TONIGHT.
LIKE I SAID, I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT DANIEL BRUNNER TOLD HIS GUYS.
MAKE SURE THAT LAST HALF IS BEHIND YOU BECAUSE IT TOOK THREE DRIVES, IT TOOK ABOUT 12 MINUTES OF THE CLOCK, IF YOU DO THAT IN THE SECOND HALF, IF YOU ARE WALTON, WE ARE TIED.

WELCOME BACK.
WE ARE GETTING READY FOR THE SECOND HALF.
LET'S GET TO DANIEL BRUNNER.
>> Reporter: WHAT WAS THE DISCUSSION AT HALFTIME?
>> WE HAVE GOT TO BE BETTER ON FOURTH DOWN.
WE HAVEN'T FINISHED ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BALL.
WE HAVE TO SETTLE DOWN, WIN THE FOURTH DOWN.
>> Reporter: DEFENSIVELY, THEY HAVE BEEN KEEPING THE QUARTERBACK IN CHECK.
WHAT WAS THE DISCUSSION ABOUT GETTING THE OFFENSE ON TRACK?
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY WE HAVE GOT TO FINISH.
WE HAVE TO FINISH.
THE SAME THING ON OFFENSE.
>> Reporter: THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
THEY HAVE >> Matt: NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, THANK YOU, JOHN.
THEY DID HAVE OPPORTUNITIES BUT DIDN'T SCORE.
I THINK THIS OPENING DRIVE IS CRITICAL FOR THEM TO SCORE.
>> Wayne: IT IS A FUNCTION OF HOW NORTH COBB IS PLAYING.
THEY ARE PHYSICAL ON OFFENSE.
THEY AREN'T GIVING WALTON ENOUGH TIME.
>> Matt: LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIRST HAVE HIGHLIGHTS.
WHAT A PLAY FROM ROWE.
THAT MADE IT 7-0.
GRIMSTEAD TO DAVID EZIOMUME RIGHT HERE.
>> Wayne: A BIG PLAY ON THE OUTSIDE.
>> Matt: 13-0 AT THAT POINT.
BACK THEN ANOTHER LONG DRIVE.
DAVID EZIOMUME, HIS SECOND TOUCHDOWN OF THE HALF AND A 19-0 LEAD AS YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE HALFTIME STATS.
IT HAS BEEN ALL BALL CONTROL FOR NORTH COBB.
>> Wayne: IT IS TIME OF POSSESSION.
THAT IS WHAT NORTH COBB CAME HERE TO DO.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT NORTH COBB IS RUNNING THE BALL, EATING UP THE CLOCK AND PUTTING PRESSURE ON HECKLINSKI TO MAKE PLAYS.
>> Matt: HECKLINSKI SEVEN OF 19 FOR 97 YARDS.
IS RECEIVERS DID NOT HELP HIM OUT AT TIMES.
>> Wayne: HE WILL DEFINITELY NEED MORE HELP FROM HIS RECEIVERS.
THEY WILL HAVE TO GET INTO THIS GAME EARLY BECAUSE THEY ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
>> Matt: GRIMSTEAD, 152 YARDS OF OFFENSE BY HIMSELF.
HE ACCOUNTED FOR ALL THREE OF THOSE TOUCHDOWNS.
>> Wayne: THAT RPO GAME REALLY SHOWED ITSELF IN THAT SECOND QUARTER.
A BIG TOUCHDOWN TO DAVID MBADINGA.
>> Matt: IT IS ALREADY LATE , BECAUSE, THEY HAD THREE POSSESSIONS IN THE FIRST HALF, THEY DID NOT SCORE.
THEY MIGHT ONLY GET THREE POSSESSIONS, IF THEY ARE LUCKY, FOUR, IN THE SECOND HALF.
>> Wayne: THE KEY IS THE DEFENSE.
WHAT WILL THEY DO TO STOP THIS RUN GAME?
IT IS NOT ONLY TRYING TO DO TOO MUCH, THEY ARE BEING PHYSICALLY IMPOSED UPON BY THIS OFFENSIVE LINE.
>> Matt: DANIEL BRUNNER SAYS, AS BAD AS IT LOOKS, THEY WERE CLOSE.
THEY HAD RED ZONE OPPORTUNITIES IT MIGHT DIDN'T SCORE.
SO, THE SECOND HALF KICKOFF COMING UP RIGHT NOW BROUGHT TO YOU BY PUCKER UP GEORGIA.
PUCKER UP GEORGIA, SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES.
>> Matt: MORALES DOWN TO THE 4- YARD LINE.
WYATT SONDERMAN OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 20.
NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN A TOUCHBACK.
>> Wayne: THIS OFFENSE IS HIGH POWERED.
THEY HAVE THE ABILITY.
THEY HAVE THE TALENT.
TAKE THE BALL, WORK IT DOWN THE FIELD, TRY TO IN THE GAME.
>> Matt: YOU SAW THE NUMBERS FOR HECKLINSKI IN THE FIRST HALF.
THE SECONDARY FOR NORTH COBB PLAYED VERY PHYSICALLY.
A FLAG IS OUT AS MAKARI BODIFORD GAINS A COUPLE OF YARDS.
>> Wayne: THAT IS A HOLDING BY FITZPATRICK.
>> Matt: THAT WILL BACK THEM UP.
>> Wayne: THAT IS THAT CLEAN FOOTBALL THAT YOU NEED.
YOU CAN'T MAKE THOSE KIND OF MISTAKES.
>> Matt: MAKARI BODIFORD RUNNING HARD.
MAKARI BODIFORD TAKEN DOWN FROM BEHIND BY HODGES.
A HUGE GAME BY MAKARI BODIFORD.
A FLAG IS DOWN.
>> Wayne: YOU CAN SEE HIM DRAG MAKARI BODIFORD DOWN.
GOOD BLOCKING BY HUNTER TEAL.
JORDAN LONAS IS HAVING A GREAT YEAR FOR NORTH COBB.
>> Referee: PERSONAL FOUL.
15 YARDS.
FIRST DOWN.
>> Matt: IT WAS A JERSEY TACKLE.
I CONFESS I AM NOT WELL SPOKEN ON THE HIGH SCHOOL.
AT THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A PENALTY.
FIRST DOWN TEN WITH THE BALL ON THE 43.
QUARTERBACK SACK AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
WILSON, THE SOPHOMORE.
>> Wayne: YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE HECKLINSKI RUN OUT HE IS TOO VALUABLE TO HAVE GUYS FALLING ON HIS LEGS.
>> Matt: SECOND AND TEN.
IT HAS BEEN A QUIET NIGHT OVER ON THAT SIDELINE FOR WALTON.
THIS NORTH COBB DEFENSE HAS HAD A LOT TO DO WITH IT.
MAKARI BODIFORD TACKLED BY ORLANDO WILSON.
AGAIN, ANOTHER FLAG IS DOWN.
>> Referee: HOLDING ON THE OFFENSE.
10-YARD PENALTY.
SECOND DOWN.
>> Matt: LET'S CHECK IN WITH JOHN.
>> Reporter: WHEN I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE HIGH SCHOOL COURSE CALLER, IT IS SIDE CALLER OF THE SHOULDER PAD OR JERSEY.
>> Matt: THE HIGH SCHOOL RULES ARE NOT EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE COLLEGE RULES.
THAT WAS THE RIGHT CALL.
WILLIAMS ON THE CATCH.
HIS SECOND TOUCH OF THE GAME.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY WILLIAMS.
THAT WAS A GOOD BLOCK OUT IN FRONT OF HIM.
HUNTER TEAL, ONCE AGAIN.
>> Matt: THIRD DOWN 13.
PHILIP EICHELZER 11 DELIVERS A STRIKE TO WYATT SONDERMAN AT THE 30-YARD LINE.
ANOTHER FLAG IS OUT.
>> Referee: ILLEGAL FORMATION ON THE OFFENSE.
5-YARD PENALTY.
>> Matt: WOW.
THAT WILL NEGATE A BIG THIRD DOWN CONVERSION.
>> Wayne: YOU CAN SEE THE FRUSTRATION ON THE FACE OF DANIEL BRUNNER.
EVERYTHING THEY DO GOOD THEY THEN DO SOMETHING WRONG.
>> Matt: THAT WILL PUT THE BALL BACK AT 49.
THIRD DOWN 18.
HECKLINSKI LOOKING DOWN FIELD AS HE RUNS.
THAT IS OUT OF THE HANDS OF HIS TARGET.
THAT IS NUMBER 11.
TRAYNOR.
HE DOES NOT PLAY A LOT OF OFFENSE.
ANOTHER CATCHABLE BALL RIGHT THERE.
>> Wayne: GREAT JOB BRINGING THE PRESSURE OUTSIDE THE POCKET.
YOU HAVE GOT TO COME UP WITH THAT CATCH FOR YOUR QUARTERBACK.
>> Matt: THIS IS OUT OF BOUNDS ON THE FAR SIDE.
LET'S SEE WHERE THEY SPOT IT.
HE IS STILL GOING.
THERE YOU GO, THE 34-YARD LINE.
NORTH COBB WITH THE BALL WHEN WE GET BACK.
>> Matt: NORTH COBB WILL GO ON OFFENSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE FIRST HALF.
BACK TO BACK REGION TITLES FOR THE WARRIORS.
FIRST TIME THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN PROGRAM HISTORY.
THEY DID MAKE THE SEMI FINALS IN 2012.
THEY HAD A LONG DROUGHT OF PLAYOFF SUCCESS , 1960-2011.
>> Wayne: GREAT JOB BY ASHTON WOODS BEING AGGRESSIVE.
HE IS GOING TO STOP THIS RUN GAME.
THESE LINEBACKERS ARE A VERY CAPABLE GROUP.
>> Matt: YOU ELUTED TO IT, TALKING ABOUT ASHTON WOODS, NOT TO SINGLE HIM OUT, BUT THAT WAS SOMETHING LAST WEEK THEY WANTED TO MAKE PLAYS ALL OVER THE FIELD RATHER THAN STAYING WITH THEIR ASSIGNMENT.
SMITH COULDN'T HOLD ONTO IT.
THIRD DOWN.
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY HERE FOR WALTON.
THEY COULD FORCE THEM IN TO THE PUNT.
IT HAS NOT BEEN A STRENGTH FOR THE WARRIORS THIS SEASON.
>> Wayne: THEY HAVE TO GET OFF THE FIELD.
THIS IS WANT.
BEFORE -- >> Matt: THAT IS ASHTON WOODS MAKING THE TACKLE.
HE LEADS THIS TEAM WITH 58 TACKLES.
TENNESSEE MIGHT BE THE FAVORITE FOR HIM.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB KEEPING HIS SHOULDERS SQUARE.
THEY WILL LEAD HIS LEADERSHIP.
YOU CAN SEE THAT HIS ENERGY IS DIFFERENT THAN IT WAS IN THE FIRST HALF.
>> Matt: HE COMES FROM A LONG LINE OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
THIS ONE TO THE 48.
NOT A BAD PUNT.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH JOHN.
>> Reporter: WE TALKED ABOUT THOSE HELMETS, ANOTHER PART OF THEIR INSPIRATION COMES FROM A BOOK, JOHN GORDON, HE HAS WRITTEN ABOUT 20 BOOKS, ONE OF THEM HAS TO DO WITH A COFFEE BEING.
THE IDEA HERE IS THIS, PICK UP A STICK, ONE STAY, IT IS REALLY EASY TO BREAK IT, BUT IF YOU BIND THEM TOGETHER THEY BECOME UNBREAKABLE.
SO, A SIMPLE ILLUSTRATED FABLE IS REQUIRED READING BY THE FOLKS HERE AT WALTON.
>> Matt: SO, ANOTHER PENALTY ON WALTON.
THEY KEEP SHOOTING THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT.
MAKARI BODIFORD WITH A COUPLE OF YARDS ON THE PLAY.
>> Wayne: NORTH COBB COMING WITH THE BLITZ.
WALTON TRYING TO GET THE BALL TO MAKARI BODIFORD.
NICE TACKLE BY PERKINS.
>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND 14.
THAT IS CAUGHT OUT TO THE 43-YARD LINE.
WILLIAMS WITH THE CATCH.
>> Wayne: THIS NORTH COBB DEFENSE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB ALL NIGHT LONG KEEPING THOSE RECEIVERS IN FRANCE OF THEM.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU THE BIG-PLAYS.
ONCE AGAIN, PERKINS WITH THE TACKLE.
>> Matt: THIRD DOWN AND SIX.
THE PASS IS COMPLETE TO LOYD FOR A FIRST DOWN AT THE 45.
FIFTH CATCH OF THE GAME FOR LOYD.
WE HAVE ANOTHER FLAG DOWN.
WALTON HAS ALREADY HAD FOUR PENALTIES HERE IN THE THIRD QUARTER.
>> Wayne: TIME IS TICKING OFF OF THAT CLOCK.
WE ARE ALREADY DONE WITH HALF OF THE THIRD QUARTER.
>> Referee: HOLDING ON THE DEFENSE.
FIRST DOWN.
>> Matt: SO THE PASS COMPLETION TO LOYD WILL STAND.
THAT IS THE TENTH COMPLETION FOR HECKLINSKI IN THIS GAME.
HE HAS HAD BACK-TO-BACK COMPLETIONS HERE ON THIS SERIES OF DOWNS.
MAKARI BODIFORD AGAIN.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY HODGES.
>> Matt: WILLIAMS THIS TIME.
HE GETS SUBMARINE BY PHILLIP GLADNEY.
A LOSS OF YARDAGE.
>> Wayne: THAT IS A GREAT TACKLE RIGHT THERE.
PHILLIP GLADNEY WITH THE SHORT TACKLE IN THE OPEN FIELD.
THIS SECONDARY IS PLAYING AT A HIGH LEVEL.
>> Matt: THAT WILL BRING UP FOURTH DOWN.
>> Wayne: OWENS WITH TIGHT COVERAGE.
IT SEEMS MOST OF THE NIGHT, NO MATTER WHERE HECKLINSKI GOES WITH THE BALL, NORTH COBB IS THERE.
>> Matt: IT HAS BEEN A FABULOUS GAME ON THIS SECONDARY.
THEY HAVE BEEN PHYSICAL ALL NIGHT.
THAT IS FIELDED AT THE 15-YARD LINE.
THAT IS WHERE NORTH COBB WILL GO BACK ON OFFENSE.
NORTH COBB ON TOP 19-0.
>> Matt: NORTH COBB HAS BEEN IN CONTROL.
>> Wayne: NORTH COBB LIKES THE SEC, I SEE.
>> Matt: THEY WERE ALL STARTERS OF LAST YEAR'S TEAM.
ASHTON WOODS MAKING THE TACKLE.
WE HAVE ANOTHER FLAG AFTER THE RUN BY GRIMSTEAD.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY ASHTON WOODS ONCE AGAIN.
>> Matt: THAT WILL PUT THE BALL BACK INSIDE THE 10-YARD LINE.
YOU KIND OF GET THE FEELING THAT WALTON'S DEFENSE HAS GOT TO COME UP WITH THE BALL.
THEY HAVE TO GET A TAKE AWAY.
>> Wayne: A SLOPPY GAME IN THE SECOND HALF FOR BOTH TEAMS.
>> Matt: NORTH COBB VERY CONTENT TO RUN THE BALL AND KEEP THE CLOCK MOVING.
THAT WAS DAVID MBADINGA.
>> Wayne: THAT IS THE PHILOSOPHY TONIGHT.
>> Matt: I WOULD BE SHOCKED IF THEY DID ANYTHING RIGHT HERE.
SECOND DOWN 13.
THE CLOCK CONTINUES TO RUN.
THEY ARE DOING A GOOD JOB OF MILKING THE CLOCK.
IT IS CAUGHT !
HERE HE GOES!
THAT IS GOING TO BE A LONG TOUCHDOWN FOR NORTH COBB!
TJ SMITH WITH THE TOUCHDOWN CATCH FROM GRIMSTEAD!
THAT MIGHT PUT THE GAME OUT OF REACH.
>> Wayne: A GREAT THROW FROM GRIMSTEAD.
GREAT PLAY ACTION FAKE.
WATCH THE STRIKE TJ SMITH.
THAT WAS BETWEEN TWO DEFENDERS FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.
WE IT SAFE, CONTINUE TO EAT UP SOME CLOCK.
THEY CAUGHT THE DEFENSE SLEEPING.
THAT IS THE ARM WE SAW LAST TIME AGAINST MILTON.
REMEMBER, HE IS ONLY A SOPHOMORE, SHOWING GREAT PROMISE FOR NORTH COBB.
>> Matt: A-LETTER 93-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM GRIMSTEAD TO TJ SMITH.
THE KICK IS GOOD.
A FLAG IS DOWN.
ACTUALLY, THAT WILL GO DOWN AS AN 87-YARD TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM GRIMSTEAD TO TJ SMITH.
>> Wayne: THAT WAS GREAT PROTECTION UP FRONT.
THAT GAVE THE RECEIVER TIME TO GET DEEP.
A STRIKE FROM GRIMSTEAD.
>> Matt: I SAID I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THEY DID ANYTHING, THEY HAD CONFIDENCE HE WAS GOING TO BEAT THE COVERAGE.
ASHTON WOODS.
GRIMSTEAD CONTINUES TO GET BETTER.
26-0 NORTH COBB.
WOW.
IN EVERY ASPECT OF THIS GAME NORTH COBB HAS BEEN IMPRESSIVE.
>> Wayne: GREAT PROTECTION.
TJ SMITH, ONLY A FRESHMAN.
>> Matt: FIRST TOUCHDOWN CATCH UP THE SEASON FOR TJ SMITH.
TWO PLAYS, 87 YARDS.
A 26-0 LEAD FOR NORTH COBB.
NOW THE CHANCES FOR WALTON ARE GREATLY DIMINISHED.
THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE WINNING.
>> Wayne: EVERYONE IS READY TO PARTY RIGHT NOW.
>> Matt: NORTH COBB HAS SHUT THEM DOWN.
>> Referee: DEAD THE BALL.
THAT IS A 15-YARD PENALTY.
>> Matt: WOW.
HE IS NOT HAPPY.
>> Wayne: THAT IS AN OLD SCHOOL COACH IN SHANE QUEEN.
>> Matt: HE WAS QUITE THE BALLPLAYER HIMSELF.
A SENIOR ALL AMERICAN.
HE CAN PLAY SOME BALL.
HE TOLD US , I DON'T EXPECT PERFECTION FROM MY GUYS, BUT I DO EXPECT THEM TO PLAY AS HARD AS THEY CAN ON EVERY SINGLE PLAY.
>> Wayne: YOU HAVE TO BE COMMITTED ALL THE TIME.
>> Matt: HERE IS THE KICKOFF COMING DOWN FROM THE 25.
TRAYNOR UP TO THE 49.
TRAYNOR WITH A NICE RETURN.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE WALTON RAIDERS NEXT LEVEL.
MARCUS ALLEN AT NORTH CAROLINA.
HENRY, A FRESHMAN AT NORTH CAROLINA.
SMITH, A FRESHMAN RUNNING BACK AT MEMPHIS.
ALL OF THOSE GUYS WERE SENIORS LAST YEAR.
FIRST DOWN FROM THE 50.
MAKARI BODIFORD WITH FOUR ON THE PLAY DOWN TO THE 46.
>> Wayne: NORTH COBB STILL RALLYING TO THAT BALL.
THEY WILL HAVE TO START GOING FOR THE BIG PLAY DOWN FIELD.
OTHER THAN LOYD, NO ONE HAS SHOWN UP IN THIS GAME.
>> Matt: THAT WAS NEARLY A ONE- HANDED CATCH BY LOYD ON THE SIDELINE.
>> HE CAN EXTEND THE PLAY.
TIGHT SPIRAL.
>> Matt: THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SEPARATES HECKLINSKI, YOU HAVE A LOT OF QUARTERBACK THAT WILL GET OUT OF THE POCKET THEN RUN DOWN THE FIELD, HE GETS OUT OF THE POCKET LOOKING DOWN THE FIELD TO FIND A WIDE RECEIVER.
>> Wayne: THEY SEEM TO KNOW KEEP RUNNING DOWN THE FIELD.
>> Matt: THAT IS COMPLETE TO LOYD.
A GREAT TACKLE BY PHILLIP GLADNEY AGAIN.
>> Wayne: A GREAT JOB BY PHILLIP GLADNEY.
I CAN'T APPLAUD THIS SECONDARY ANYMORE THAN I HAVE.
THEY ARE MAKING TACKLES IN THE OPEN FIELD.
THEY HAVE REALLY ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE OF STOPPING WALTON.
>> Matt: THIS IS THE MOST PHYSICAL SECONDARY WE HAVE SEEN ALL SEASON.
THIS IS CAUGHT BY TRAYNOR AT THE 30-YARD LINE.
THEY ARE GOING TO SAY THAT HE DID NOT CATCH IT.
WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK.
HE IS PLEADING THAT HE CAUGHT IT.
THE OFFICIAL STEPPED IN TO SAY HE DIDN'T.
>> Wayne: IT LOOKED LIKE HE TOOK IT TO THE GROUND.
BE A CATCH.
A TOUGH BREAK FOR WALTON.
TRAYNOR, WHO WAS A QUARTERBACK AT SEQUOIA, HE HAS GOT GREAT OFFENSIVE SKILLS.
HE TRANSFERRED TO WALTON BECAUSE HE WANTED TO BE A SAFETY.
A BIG RUN RIGHT HERE.
>> Wayne: HE IS RUNNING WITH THE SAME PURPOSE THAT WE SAW IN THAT FIRST QUARTER.
LOOK AT THIS HOLE.
IT IS 3 YARDS WIDE.
>> Matt: 90 SECONDS REMAINING IN THE THIRD QUARTER.
HE IS OFF AGAIN TO DAVID MBADINGA.
STILL ON HIS FEET!
HE WILL TAKE IT TO THE END ZONE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!
>> Wayne: TWICE IN A ROW RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE.
LOOK AT THE MIDDLE OF THIS LINE.
I MEAN HE RAN INTO HIS OWN MAN BEFORE HE RHIANNON INTO A WALTON DEFENDER.
WOW.
THAT IS ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS OFFENSE FOR NORTH COBB.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH JOHN.
>> Reporter: WE ARE STARTING TO GET SOME FINAL SCORE WAS.
WARNER ROBINS WITH A WIN.
WAYNE COUNTY WITH A WIN TONIGHT.
ALSO, CARVER COLUMBUS, IT IS LIKE NINTENDO BASEBALL, IT IS 9- 6.
THOMASVILLE NOW HAS THE LEAD.
HANNAH, ROSWELL, UP RIGHT NOW.
WE WILL HAVE MORE IN A BIT.
>> Matt: WHAT A SHOCKER WE HAVE I AM SEEING SOME TIRED GUYS ON THE WALTON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL.
THEY AREN'T TOO EAGER TO GET IN FRONT OF THESE RUNNING GAMES.
>> Wayne: NORTH COBB COMING RIGHT AT YOU.
THEY CANNOT STOP THEM IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM RIGHT NOW.
>> Matt: WALTON, NUMBER FIVE IN THE STATE.
THEY HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY STONES HERE BY NORTH COBB.
IT CONTINUES ON THE KICK COVERAGE.
OWENS MAKING THE OPEN FIELD TACKLE ON TRAYNOR.
JUST A PHYSICAL, DOMINATING PERFORMANCE BY THIS NORTH COBB TEAM TONIGHT.
>> Wayne: I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE COACH DID THREE WEEKS AGO WHEN HE SAID HE WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD, BUT, IT IS TRANSLATING WELL TONIGHT.
THERE HAS BEEN SOME GREAT TACKLING BY THIS NORTH COBB TEAM.
>> Matt: GRAYSON HODGES SMOTHERING MAKARI BODIFORD AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
WE WILL HAVE A RUNNING CLOCK IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.
A IMPOSSIBLE TASK FOR WALTON.
HECKLINSKI COMPLETE TO WYATT SONDERMAN.
OWENS TAKES HIM DOWN.
CHARLES MCCARTHERENS IN ON THAT TACKLE.
I SEE A LOT OF DISCOURAGEMENT IN THAT WALTON TEAM.
I DON'T THINK THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY COULD GET BEAT LIKE THIS.
>> Wayne: NO ONE IS ENERGETIC RIGHT NOW.
>> Matt: TRELLES IN ON THAT TACKLE AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
THE THIRD QUARTER IS OVER.
14 MORE POINTS FOR NORTH COBB IN THE THIRD QUARTER AND THEY HAVE ALL BUT PUT THIS GAME AWAY.
>> Matt: IT IS THE START OF THE FOURTH QUARTER.
NORTH COBB IS GOING TO BE THE RANKINGS .
WALTON WILL BE DROPPING.
NORTH COBB, ONCE AGAIN, A CHANCE TO WIN.
THIRD STRAIGHT REGION CHAMPIONSHIP WITH A WIN HERE TONIGHT.
WE WILL HAVE A RUNNING CLOCK IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.
MAKARI BODIFORD RUNNING THE BALL IS ABOUT THE ONLY KIND OF SUCCESS THEY HAVE HAD TONIGHT.
>> Wayne: HE HAD TO WORK TO GET THOSE YARDS.
THAT OFFENSIVE LINE IS NOT PLAYING WELL TONIGHT.
>> Matt: 61 YARDS FOR BODIFORD WILL TAKE A BIG LOSS BACK AT THE 30-YARD LINE.
MOODY WITH THE BIG TACKLE.
>> Wayne: RIGHT HERE THE D LINEMAN MAKING THE PLAY.
>> Matt: HE WILL BE A POWER FIVE PLAYER.
>> Referee: TIMEOUT.
>> Matt: WE WILL STEP ASIDE.
>> Reporter: LET'S GO TO CARDINAL STADIUM.
IT HAS BEEN ALL KENNESAW MOUNTAIN TONIGHT, 49-0.
THAT IS IN THE BOOKS.
A BIG WIN FOR KENNESAW STADIUM.
A DOMINANT WIN BY KENNESAW MOUNTAIN IN REGION PLAY.
YOU GUYS.
>> Matt: JOHN, THAT MEANS NORTH COBB WITH THE WIN, KENNESAW MOUNTAIN, THEY WILL BE THE EARLY FRONT RUNNERS FOR THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP CHASE.
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PRESSURE ON WALTON NEXT WEEK BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO PLAY KENNESAW MOUNTAIN.
THE BALL IS OUT, IT IS RECOVERED BY WALTON.
RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF TRAYNOR.
>> Wayne: WATCH HIM TAKE THE BIG HIT.
MAKARI >> Matt: MAKARI BODIFORD STUCK HIS HELMET MIGHT ON THAT BALL.
WALTON WILL TAKE OVER AT THE 41- YARD LINE.
WHEN I TELL YOU THEY HAVE TO MOVE FAST, I MEAN, THEY HAVE GOT TO MOVE REALLY FAST.
TRAYNOR HAS BEEN A LOT OF OFFENSE IN THIS SECOND HALF EVER SINCE JACKSON HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO.
THERE IS A FLAT OUT AGAIN.
>> Wayne: ILLEGAL FORMATION ONCE AGAIN.
WE HAVE SEEN WALTON HAVE THIS ISSUE A COUPLE OF TIMES TONIGHT.
>> Referee: ILLEGAL FORMATION ON THE OFFENSE.
5-YARD PENALTY.
FIRST DOWN.
>> Matt: IT HAS BEEN THAT KIND OF A NIGHT.
THINGS HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF HAND FOR WALTON.
HECKLINSKI IS GOING TO RUN.
THAT IS INTERCEPTED AT THE 16- YARD LINE BY CALEB JENKINS.
THIRD INTERCEPTION OF THE REASON FOR CALEB JENKINS.
MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER, CALEB JENKINS.
>> Wayne: AGAIN, A NICE JOB BY THE SECONDARY.
THESE GUYS HAVE REALLY PAID ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS.
NICE BREAK ON THE BALL BY JENKINS TO GET THE INTERCEPTION.
THE BODY LANGUAGE SAYS IT ALL.
>> Matt: THEY HAVE GOT THE TURNOVER CHAIN.
>> Wayne: I CAN'T TELL IF IT IS THE TURNOVER CHAIN OR THE TOUCHDOWN PLAY , MAYBE, IT IS THE SAME ONE.
>> Matt: IT IS THE BIG PLAY CHAIN.
[LAUGHING] THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT WALTON DOES NOT EVEN TOUCH THE BALL AGAIN IN THIS GAME.
NORTH COBB IS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF GRINDING THIS OUT.
GRIMSTEAD STOPPED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
THAT WILL BRING UP THIRD DOWN.
GRIMSTEAD HAS HAD A HECK OF A GAME.
A GUY WHO HAS BEEN THROWN IN THE MIX WHEN SINGLETON WENT DOWN WITH THAT BROKEN FOOT.
IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY HE WILL FINISH OUT HIS SENIOR YEAR.
THE COACH SAYS, LOOK, THIS CULTURE IS BIGGER THAN ANY ONE PLAYER.
AS MUCH AS THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SINGLETON RUNNING THE OFFENSE IN HIS SENIOR YEAR, THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT HE PREACHES, NEXT MAN UP.
THEY WANT TO MAKE GRIMSTEAD BELIEVE HE IS THE GUY.
HE IS ALSO A BIG BASEBALL PLAYER FOR THIS NORTH COBB PROGRAM.
HE HAD TO FIGURE HE WOULD NOT BE TAKING SNAPS UNTIL HIS JUNIOR YEAR.
>> Wayne: THEY HAVE NOT MISSED A BEAT.
SINGLETON BRINGS A DIFFERENT DIMENSION WITH HIS ABILITY BUT IT HAS GALVANIZED THESE PLAYERS TO RAISE THEIR GAME.
THAT WILL MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE OKAY I WILL GET MORE OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE BIG DOG BEING OUT.
THEY HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB.
>> Matt: TIMEOUT CALLED BY NORTH COBB.
WE WILL STEP ASIDE.
>> Matt: NORTH COBB IS GOING TO WIN THIS ONE HERE TONIGHT.
DARREN WALLER STILL IN THE LEAGUE WITH LAS VEGAS.
CHANDLER WOOTEN IS ON THE CARDINALS PRACTICE SQUAD.
ERIC NOAH WARD PLAYED A COUPLE OF SEASONS.
TWO INACTIVE PLAYERS IN THE NFL FOR NORTH COBB.
THIS IS A PUNT OUT OF THE END ZONE.
IT IS FIELDED AT THE 50.
WALTON WILL GO ON OFFENSE.
>> Wayne: THIS NIGHT HAS NOT GONE LIKE THEY WANTED IT TO GO.
THEY NEED A GOOD DRIVE TO END THIS GAME.
YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE SOME POSITIVITY AS YOU GO TO NEXT WEEK.
>> Matt: THEY HAVE GOT A HUGE GAME NEXT WEEK AGAINST KENNESAW MOUNTAIN.
IT IS A VERY BIG GAME FOR WALTON BECAUSE IF YOU LOSE AT KENNESAW MOUNTAIN, YOU WILL NOT HAVE A HOME PLAYOFF GAME.
THAT PASS IS INCOMPLETE TO LOYD.
HERE IS WHAT WALTON HAS LEFT.
KENNESAW MOUNTAIN, THAT IS GOING TO BE A TOUGH ONE.
AFTER THAT IT IS CHEROKEE.
>> Matt: MAKARI BODIFORD, ONE OF THE FEW BRIGHT SPOTS FOR WALTON TONIGHT.
I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED WITH MAKARI BODIFORD.
>> Wayne: HE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB STAYING ENGAGED IN THIS GAME.
IT WOULD BE VERY EASY FOR HIM TO DROP HIS SHOULDERS.
HE HAS BEEN RUNNING THE BALL HARD.
>> Matt: THIRD DOWN AND TWO.
FIRST DOWN FOR MAKARI BODIFORD.
COUNTRY STRONG, THAT IS WHAT DANIEL BRUNNER CALLED HIM.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH HANNAH.
>> WE WILL TALK WITH THE HEAD COACH OF THE PACKERS.
IT WILL ALL START AT CAMDEN COUNTY NEXT FRIDAY.
WE HAVE MORE COACHES CALLING IN AS WELL.
>> Matt: HERE IS MAKARI BODIFORD WITH ANOTHER 9 YARDS.
I THINK THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE WE WILL SEE COUNTY COMING UP IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER.
MAKARI BODIFORD WITH THE FIRST DOWN.
>> Wayne: WE CAN'T STEP OUR HAT ENOUGH MORE TONIGHT TO THIS NORTH COBB DEFENSE.
THEY HAVE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB.
THEY HAVE BEEN PHYSICAL, THE TACKLING HAS BEEN EXCELLENT IN ALL THREE LEVELS OF THE DEFENSE.
>> Matt: THEY ARE TRYING TO MAINTAIN THAT SHUT OUT.
THAT IS TRAYNOR WITH THE TOUCHDOWN TO MAKE IT 33-6.
>> Wayne: GOOD PROTECTION UP FRONT.
WEISS THROW FROM HECKLINSKI.
A POST ROUTE DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.
>> Matt: A DISASTROUS NIGHT IN THE KICKING GAME FOR WALTON.
HECKLINSKI WITH HIS 19TH TOUCHDOWN PASS OF THE SEASON.
FOR --FOUR PLAYS, 50 YARDS.
A 29-YARD CATCH BY TRAYNOR FROM HECKLINSKI TO AVOID THE EMBARRASSMENT OF THE SHADOW.
HERE IS THAT GAME AT KENNESAW MOUNTAIN.
THAT IS SUCH A BIG ONE FOR WALTON.
THAT COULD BE THE GAME THAT WOULD DECIDE THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP.
SO, CIRCLE THAT ONE ON YOUR CALENDAR.
THE MUSTANGS HAD A HUGE WIN TONIGHT AGAINST OSBORN.
A LITTLE BIT OF A REALITY CHECK FOR THEM THIS EVENING.
>> Matt: AGAIN, NORTH COBB BEING AGGRESSIVE, ATTACKING THE FOOTBALL.
WE HAVE SEEN THIS AT NFL LEVEL , IF YOU ARE THE RECEIVING TEAM YOU DON'T HAVE TO LET IT GO 10 YARDS, IT IS THE KICKING TEAM THAT HAS TO LET IT GO 10 YARDS.
IT IS AMAZING THAT WE STILL SEE THAT AT THE NFL LEVEL.
NORTH COBB HAS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF THAT TONIGHT.
>> Wayne: GREAT JOB BY JAMES ROWE ON >> Matt: YOU ARE RIGHT, HE HAD A NICE NIGHT.
>> Referee: TIMEOUT NORTH COBB.
>> Matt: NORTH COBB WILL TAKE THEIR LAST TIMEOUT.
IT IS GOING TO BE A NICE DRIVE BACK HOME FOR NORTH COBB TONIGHT AFTER BEATING WALTON.
YOU HAVE GOT TO GIVE SHANE QUEEN A LOT OF CREDIT.
EVERYTHING THAT HE TALKED ABOUT WITH US ON THAT COACHING CALL, HE LAID OUT THAT IS WHAT HE HAD.
HE DID IT.
>> Wayne: THEY EXECUTED THAT GAME PLAN SO WELL.
IT SEEMS TO BE WHAT HE KNOWS HIS TEAM NEEDS TO BE WITHOUT MALACHI SINGLETON.
THIS IS THE TEAM FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
>> Matt: I HATE TO SEE WE WON'T SEE SINGLETON AGAIN BUT IT IS A REALITY.
HE HAS GOT A BIG COLLEGE FOOTBALL CAREER IN FRONT OF HIM.
I WILL BE EXCITED TO SEE HIM WITH THE RAZORBACKS IN THE COMING YEARS.
>> Wayne: YOU DON'T WANT TO RUSH HIM BACK.
ESPECIALLY, WITH HIS STYLE OF PLAY.
HE IS VERY PHYSICAL.
>> Matt: IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A COMPLICATED SURGERY.
IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT HE WOULD RECOVER FROM QUICKLY.
THEY WERE TALKING EARLY DECEMBER AS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE DATE HE COULD COME BACK.
YOU KNOW, THAT IS STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
THIS WAS HIM BEFORE THE GAME OUT HERE SUPPORTING HIS TEAM.
HE HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO WATCH SINCE HE BECAME A STARTER LATE IN HIS FRESHMAN YEAR.
HE IS A FUN GUY TO WATCH.
>> Wayne: HE HAS HAD AN HE IS VERY HAPPY FOR GRIMSTEAD.
>> Matt: THAT IS GOING TO DO IT.
33-6 NORTH COBB A RESOUNDING VICTORY OVER A WALTON TEAM THAT WAS RANKED NUMBER FIVE IN THE STATE.
NORTH COBB NOW WITH A GOOD CHANCE TO GO TO THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
>> Wayne: SHANE QUEEN HAS HIS TEAM PLAYING A PHYSICAL BRAND OF FOOTBALL.
GRIMSTEAD GETTING BETTER EVERY PLAY.
>> Matt: YEAH, HE HAD THREE TOUCHDOWN PASSES TONIGHT.
JUST AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY GRIMSTEAD.
HE HAS BECOME A STAR PLAYER.
HE WILL BE OUR PLAYER OF THE GAME TONIGHT.
I WISH WE COULD HAVE GIVEN THE PLAYER OF THE GAME TO THE ENTIRE SECONDARY.
THEY WERE AS IMPRESSIVE A GROUP AS I HAVE SEEN SCHOOL FOOTBALL.
>> Wayne: THEY WEREN'T ONLY PHYSICAL BUT THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB TACKLING.
>> Matt: LET'S GET TO JOHN.
>> Reporter: IF I HAD TOLD YOU THAT THE SCORE WAS GOING TO BE WHAT IT WAS TONIGHT, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE TOLD ME?

THE DEFENSE HAD A SHUT OUT GAME.
>> Reporter: LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW IT HAS BEEN FOR YOU, WHAT HAS THIS PROCESS BEEN LIKE FOR YOU?
>> IT IS VERY HUMBLING.
IT IS A LOT TO LEARN REAL FAST.
MOSTLY IT IS HUMBLING.
>> Reporter: LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT OFFENSIVE LINE, THEY DID SOME REALLY GOOD STUFF FOR YOU TONIGHT.
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO HAVE THOSE GUYS TO HELP YOU?

WE SAW YOU A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, YOU HAD TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD EARLY IN THE YEAR, WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE TO GET TO WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW?
>> THE KIDS BELIEVE IN WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE AT NORTH COBB.
THEY KNOW THAT WE LOVE THEM.
THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH ADVERSITY.
WHEN THE QUARTERBACK WENT DOWN WE STILL KEPT GOING.

IT IS THE WORD LOVE.
IT IS MAKING SURE THAT YOU KNOW HOW EVERYONE FEELS ABOUT YOU.
IT IS THAT EXTRA DIMENSION.
>> WE PREACH LOVE TO THESE KIDS EVERY DAY.
THEY COUNT ON EACH OTHER.

THE KIDS DID A GOOD JOB SETTING THE TONE EARLY.
WE JUST NEVER LOOKED BACK AFTER THAT FIRST TOUCHDOWN.
IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THE KIDS REAP THE BENEFITS OF THAT PREPARATION.
>> JOHN HAS A QUESTION FOR YOU.
>> THIS YEAR ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN THE STRONGEST THING TO SEE HAS BEEN YOUR DEFENSE, YOU HAVE GIVEN UP ONLY 44 POINTS THIS SEASON, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO HAVE A DOMINANT DEFENSE?
>> IT DOES HELP.
IF YOU CAN KEEP THEM FROM SCORING IT WILL HELP YOU OUT.
WE HAVE A GOOD NUMBER OF KIDS BACK FROM LAST YEAR SO THEY UNDERSTAND HOW TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES.

NORTH COBB GOT THE WIN 33-6.
JOHN, YOU HAVE BEEN THERE ALL NIGHT.
IT WAS NORTH COBB ALL THE WAY.
GRIMSTEAD OVER 180 YARDS.
WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT HIS PERFORMANCE?
>> I THINK LOOKING AT THE RUNNING CLOCK IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, IT WAS VERY SURPRISING.
THE COACHING STAFF REALLY WANTED THAT SHUT OUT.
THEY DID NOT QUITE GET IT BUT THEY WERE DOMINANT ON DEFENSE.
THEY KEPT HECKLINSKI AND THIS OFFENSE UNDER PRESSURE THE ENTIRE EVENING.
NORTH COBB KEPT THAT DEFENSE ON THEIR HEELS.
IF YOU ARE A NORTH COBB FAN IT IS GREAT TO SEE.
THAT IS WHEN THEY GOT THAT SCREEN GAME GOING.
>> THEY CERTAINLY DID.
SHANE QUEEN VERY EMOTIONAL AFTER THE GAME.
WE DO HAVE A COACH WAITING TO TALK TO US RIGHT NOW.

THIS WAS A HOME GAME.
YOU ARE NOW 7-0.
4-0 IN REGION PLAY.
WHAT DID THIS WIN MEAN TO YOU TONIGHT?
>> IT MEANT A LOT.
I THINK THIS WILL GUARANTEE A PLAYOFF SPOT FOR US.
THAT IS ALL WE WERE PLAYING FOR.
>> COACH, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE EXPECTATIONS FROM THOSE OF US WHO HAVE MICROPHONES, KNOWING THAT YOU WILL BE AT THE TOP OF THE RANKINGS, HOW THE NOISE AWAY FROM YOUR PLAYERS?
>> ONE THING I DO WITH MY GUYS IS I LOOK AT ALL OF THE NEGATIVES, WE FOCUS ON THOSE THINGS.
WE WILL CELEBRATE THE WIN FOR ABOUT 14 HOURS BUT THEN WE FOCUS ON THE BAD THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE GAME.
>> ONE THING THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO FIX IS YOUR OFFENSE.
TELL ME WHAT WAS WORKING SO WELL TONIGHT.
>> THE KIDS BOUGHT IN AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE SHORT FIELD.
I CHALLENGE THEM THIS WEEK TO GET BACK TO MOVING THE BALL.
THEY BOUGHT IN TO WHAT I ASKED THEM TO DO.
SO, WE WORKED TO GET THE WIN.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CALLING IN.
>> DO YOU WANT THE WEEK OFF NOW?
YOU HAVE SO MUCH MOMENTUM NOW.
>> I WILL TAKE THE WEEK OFF NOW.
I HAVE TWO GUYS THAT ARE HURT SO THEY NEED TO GET A LITTLE MORE HEALTHY.
IT WILL GIVE US TWO WEEKS TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT ONE.
>> ALRIGHT, COACH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CALLING IN.
OKAY, JOHN, I HAVE THE REGION STANDINGS UP.
THEY ARE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST.
I DON'T HAVE ALL THE FINAL SCORES BUT THEY ARE THE LEADER.

THAT IS THE ONE TO DECIDE THE ONE AND TWO.
