THEY ARE TIED FOR FIRST PLACE.

CARLOTTON LOST TO ROME LAST WEEK AND CARROLTON LIKELY HAS TO WIN OUT THE REST OF THE WAY TO KEEP ALIVE THEIR HOPES OF WINNING A SECOND REGION CHAMPIONSHIP PIERSON BLAIR AND GOOD EVENING, I'M MATT STEWART, JOINED BY NFL FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK AND 15-YEAR PRO.

A FIRST-TIME SOUTH PAULDING HAS EVER BEEN ON GBP FROM GRISHAM STADIUM IN OUR FIRST BIG REGION SHOWDOWN.

SEASON PIERSON BLAIR LED BY THEIR THREE-STAR QUARTERBACK M.J.

MORRIS, WHO IS COMMITTED TO NC STATE.

>> HE'S THE GET A THAT MAKES IT MOVE.

18 TOUCH DOUNDS, ONLY ONE INTERCEPTION ON THE SEASON.

HIS LEADERSHIP IS KEY FOR THIS OFFENSE TO MOVE PIERSON BLAIR >> HE LIKES TO PLAY HIS STARS, LED BY HICKS FROM CLEMSON PIERSON BLAIR.

>> HE IS VERY DANGEROUS, THROWING THE BALL.

HE HAS THREE TOUCHDOWNS RECEIVING ON THE SEASON PIERSON BLAIR >> AND TERRELL CARMICHAEL WILL ALSO PLAY BOTH WAYS.

HE'S GOT FIVE OFFERS?

>> STARTING RECEIVER, TONIGHT STARTING AS SAFETY, HE IS COUNTED ON THE STOP.

HIS RUN GAME SOUTH PAULDING BRINGS HERE TONIGHT.

>> CARROLTON'S WON SEVEN STATE TITLES.

SOUTH PAULDING'S NEVER EVEN WON A REGION CHAMPIONSHIP.

BUT THIS MIGHT BE THE YEAR.

THEY'RE PUTTING UP 30 POINTS PER GAME.

>> A SUPER COMPETITOR.

HE KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS THIS OFFENSE, LIKE HIS COUNTERPART M.J.

MORRIS.

14 TOUCHDOWNS, ONLY TWO INTERCEPTIONS.

>> STARTS UP FRONT FOR THE SPARTANS.

THE NUMBER TWO RATED INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY IN THE JUNIOR CLASS.

>> HE PLAYS ALL FIVE POSITIONS RIGHT NOW.

HE'S TRYING TO HOLD DOWN THAT LEFT SIDE AT TACKLE.

HIS COACH TALKS ABOUT HIM BEING A PERFECTIONIST.

THIS RUSH GAME 250 YARDS A GAME.

>> THEY WENT AND GOT THE POWER FORWARD FROM THE BASKETBALL TEAM TO HELP OUT PGOUDA.

>> HE'S ATHLETIC AND RIGHT NOW THE LIGHT IS ON, AND HE'S PLAYING GREAT FOOTBALL.

>> THEY WILL HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL WITH THE TOP RECEIVING CORPS IN THE ENTIRE STATE.

HE'S STANDING BY GRISHAM STADIUM.

>> GOOD EVENING.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TRADITION HERE AT CARROLLTON.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK ON THE WALL OF THE FIELD HOUSE.

THREE COACHES, 54 YEARS, SEVEN CHAMPIONSHIPS.

HE'S GOT ONE.

CHARLIE GRISHAM WITH HIS 29 SEASONS.

HOW MUCH A PIECE OF FABRIC OF GEORGIA THAT ROSARD WROTE ABOUT HIM AT THE "ATLANTA GEORGIA CONSTITUTION."

BEN SCOTT, 1998, THE LAST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR CARROLLTON.

SKIP TWO MORE COACHES AND THIS IS WHERE JOEY KING'S TRADITION STARTS TONIGHT AS HEAD COACH HERE AT GRISHAM STADIUM.

WHAT'S THE STORY FROM STUDIO J?

>> I LOVE IT.

NOBODY DOES IT AS GOOD AS YOU.

I'LL BE HOLDING DOWN THE DESK RIGHT HERE FROM ATLANTA FOR THE FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA HALFTIME SHOW.

WE MISS YOU, HANNAH.

I WILL BE BRINGING YOU SCORES, INTERVIEWS, AND SO MUCH MORE.

ALSO GO AHEAD AND GET YOUR DEVICE OUT.

YOU CAN SCAN THAT QR CODE RIGHT THERE ON YOUR TELEVISION SCREEN.

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE GAME.

SPEAKING OF GAME, WE ARE GOING TO SEE A GOOD ONE, AND EVEN AFTER THE GAME, GET COMFORTABLE, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A POST-GAME SHOW.

LIVE STRAIGHT FROM THE FIELD HOUSE, OFFICE CAR.

WE'VE SEEN IT ALL.

ANYWAY, WE'RE GOING TO GET RIGHT BACK TO THE GAME.

IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR KICK.

MATT, WAYNE, NELLY, HAVE A GREAT CALLOFF.

SEE YOU GUYS IN A LITTLE BIT.

>> GOOD NIGHT, NIKKI AND GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD WITH US TONIGHT.

CARROLTON HAS THE TOSS.

SPARTANS ON DEFENSE.

CARROLTON AT 4-1 COMING OFF THAT 45-21 LOSS AT NUMBER SEVEN ROME.

COMING OFF A WIN AT DALTON A WEEK AFTER BEATING ROME 34-32.

IT WAS A SECOND VICTORY OVER A TOP 10 TEAM.

>> THE OPENING KICKOFF IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA, SEATBELT SAVES LIVES.

AND THE 6 FOOT, 130-POUND SENIOR IS READY TO GO.

THE TROJANS.

GOING TO BE TAKEN BY LIPSCOMB AND THAT'S WHERE WE WILL SEE THE TROJANS ON OFFENSE FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT.

A 15-YARD RETURN BY LIPSCOMB.

>> M.J.

MORRIS' OFFENSE 44 POINTS A GAME.

LIKE TO THROW THE BALL AROUND AND HE IS JUST THE MAN TO GET THE JOB DONE.

>> YOU SEE THE NUMBERS FOR MORRIS, CLOSE TO 5200 YARDS 55 TOUCHDOWNS IN HIS CAREER.

ALTHOUGH HE SPENT LAST SEASON AT PACE ACADEMY, HE STARTED AS A SOPHOMORE AT CARROLTON, AND HICKS GETS THE FIRSTHANDOFF OF THE GAME, AND HE GETS DROPPED AT THE 40 YARD LINE BY CALEB MIDDLEBROOKS.

YOU SEE HICKS 5'9", 160-POUND SOPHOMORE, 227 YARDS.

BUT HE'S NEARLY AS DEADLY, IF NOT MORE SO IN THE PASSING GAME.

CLOSE TO 160 YARDS.

HE IS FAST AND DANGEROUS.

>> NOW MORRIS GOING TO RUN AND STEP OUT OF BOUNDS.

CLOSE TO THE FIRST DOWN YARDAGE.

LOOKS LIKE HE PICKED IT UP AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE STARTING LINEUP, PRESENTED BY REGIONS BANK.

TROJANS UP FRONT.

SIMS, WALTON, MASON, WALKER, AND CARR, THE BACKS AND THE RECEIVERS.

HICKS, LIP COMB, CAR MICHAEL, WHITE, AND WILLIAMSON.

YOU SAW THE LAST PLAY AND HE IS MOBILE AND ATHLETIC AND CAN RUN THE BALL.

>> AND HICKS IS GOING TO PICK UP THREE YARDS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE AND THE 49 YARD LINE.

>> AND WATCH THIS DEFENSE REACT TO THIS JET SWEEP GETTING TO THE OUTSIDE.

THEY ARE FAST, AND THEY ARE TRYING TO BE PHYSICAL.

ALL THOSE WHITE JERSEYS RIGHT THERE SMOTHERING THE RETURNER RIGHT HERE, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO TO STOP THIS KIND OF OFFENSE.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO RALLY TO THE BALL.

>> SECOND DOWN AND SEVEN, SECOND PASS TO CAR MICHAEL.

AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE STARTERS PRESENTED BY REGIONS BANK.

UP FRONT, SCARFER, WILLIAMS, AND PGOUDA, GRAHAM AND RANGEL.

>> HIS COACH, SUMO ROBINSON RAVED ABOUT HOW HE LIKES TO MIX IT UP IN THE BOX PIERSON BLAIR.

>>.

AND CATCHING A BREAK.

>> WITH HELP FROM THEIR TEAMMATES.

AND PRESTON GENTRY, AN ALLSTATE PUNTER, WHO HAS JUST COME BACK TO THE TEAM AFTER SUFFERING A KNEE INJURY DURING SOCCER SEASON.

THIS IS HIS SECOND GAME BACK.

HE STANDS AT THE 40.

FAIR CATCH IS CALLED FOR AND MADE AT THE 16 YARD LINE.

THAT WAS ALEX WATKINS ON THE CATCH, AND THAT'S WHERE THE SPARTANS WILL GO ON OFFENSE FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT.

THAT WAS A 31-YARD KICK BY PRESTON GENTRY, AND THERE IS THE YOUNG MAN WEISMAN, 1134 YARDS.

THROUGH THE AIR 1775 FOR HIS CAREER.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE BULK OF HIS YARDAGE HAS COME HERE IN HIS JUNIOR SEASON.

AVERAGING 254.4 A GAME IN TOTAL OFFENSE.

>> MAKING SMART DECISIONS WITH THE BALL.

ONLY TWO INTERCEPTIONS, AND HE IS ADDING THAT BALANCE ALONG THAT BIG OFFENSIVE LINE THAT LOVES TO RUN THE BALL.

>> WEISMAN DOWN FIELD AND BROKEN UP ACROSS THE 50 YARD LINE BY CAR MICHAEL, TRYING TO GET THE BALL TO BRENDAN GATES.

AND CARMICHAEL HAS ALREADY GOT A CATCH IN THE GAME AND NOW HE'S GOT A PBU.

>> YOU TRY TO SUCKER THE DEFENSE YOU HAVE, AND NICE JOB THERE BY CARMICHAEL OF KIND OF HAVING TO WAIT FOR THE BALL IN THE AIR.

WEISMAN UNDERTHROWING THE BALL THERE TO DIETZ.

AND NICE JOB OF CARMICHAEL GETTING BACK IN THE PLAY AND BREAKING THAT UP.

>> SECOND DOWN AND 10.

WILCOX, HIS FIRST CARRY OF THE BALL GAME.

WILCOX ON HIS FIRST PLAY.

TONIGHT'S WE TOLD YOU ABOUT SANKER.

KELLER, YOUNG, BLAIR AND AND WATKINS AND DIETZ, THE BACKS AND THE RECEIVERS.

THIS WILL BE A FUN ONE TO WATCH TONIGHT.

WEISMAN THROWING ON THE RUN AND COMPLETE AT THE 34.

THAT WILL BE A FIRST DOWN CAUGHT BY BRENDAN GATES.

HE'S THEIR TOP PASS CATCHER.

THAT IS HIS 17th GRAB OF THE SEASON.

GOES FOR 16 YARDS.

>> WORKING THE POCKET, KEEPING HIS EYES DOWN THE FIELD.

HE SEES HIS TARGET RIGHT THERE IN GATES, MOVING OUT THE POCKET.

HAD SOME RUNNING ROOM, BUT TRUSTED HIMSELF TO BE ABLE TO EXTEND THE PLAY AND DELIVER THE BALL.

>> GATES 6'1", 185 SENIOR, CAME IN WITH 16 CATCHES, AVERAGING JUST UNDER 60 YARDS RECEIVING PER GAME.

THAT'S TOPS ON THE TEAM.

WILCOX HITTING THE BACK FIELD, AND HE'S GOING TO TAKE A BIG LOSS ON THE PLAY.

THAT WAS JAY FARMER, THE DEFENSIVE TACKLE, AND THERE YOU SEE HIS NAME, AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE REGIONS' BANK STARTING LINEUP ON DEFENSE.

WILLIAMS JOIN HIM UP FRONT.

BRADBURN, SMITH, BRADEN AND BUTLER.

HE'LL LOSE THEIR LEADING TACKLER IN THE SECONDARY.

>> YOU SHOULD EXPECT THIS CARROLTON DEFENSE TO SELL OUT AND STOP THE RUN, GIVING UP 270 YARDS, RUSHING.

YOU SAW RIGHT THERE WITH CAR GENTRY AND FARMER WITH THE PENETRATION, TAKING ON THIS CHALLENGE OF STOPPING A TEAM THAT MIGHT BE BETTER RUNNING THE BALL.

>> Referee: THE OFFENSE.

FIVE YARDS FROM THE PREVIOUS SPOT.

>> AND WORKING THIS SHOWDOWN, TERRY WINEGUARD, OUR LEAD REFERREY, AND THE REST OF THE MEN WORKING WITH HIM HERE.

SO A FIVE-YARD MARK GOES OFF AGAINST SOUTH PAULDING.

>> SOUTH PAULDING HADN'T BEEN ABLE IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES TO GET THE RUNNING GAME GOING.

>> WISEMAN IS GOING TO SLIDE DOWN TO THE 34 YARD LINE WITH BRADBURN CLOSING ON HIM FAST.

>> INITIALLY GOOD PROTECTION.

ONLY A THREE-MAN RUSH BY CARROLTON.

HITTING OUTSIDE THE POCKET, NOT LIKING WHAT HE SEES DOWN THE FIELD.

AND AS WE TALKED ABOUT M.J.

MORRIS, ONLY TWO INTERCEPTIONS ON THE SEASON FROM WEISMAN RIGHT HERE.

YOU CAN SEE EIGHT MEN DROPPING IN COVERAGE.

DIDN'T LIKE WHAT HE SAW AND WENT AND GOT IT WITH HIS FEET.

>> THIRD DOWN AND 11 NOW.

THE 33.

>> ONLY THREE INTERCEPTIONS ON THE SEASON FOR CARROLTON.

BUT THEY HAVE A LOT OF TALENT IN THE SECONDARY.

COMING WITH THE BLITZ HERE AND WEISMAN.

>> SIX-YARD LOSS ON THE PLAY.

SOUTH PAULDING'S GOING TO HAVE TO PUNT.

THAT WAS MICHAEL BRAIDON COMING UP WITH THE SACK.

>> COMING OFF THE EDGE WITH THE PRESSURE, JUST NO TIME TO SET UP AND LOOK DOWN THE FIELD TO DELIVER THE BALL.

GOOD PRESSURE BY BRAIDON AND BUTLER OFF THE EDGE.

NICE JOB, AND BOTH DEFENSES RIGHT NOW HAVE WEATHERED THE STORM AGAINST TWO OFFENSES THAT ARE AT THAT 40-POINT MARK A GAME.

>> LINE DRIVE KICK.

BOUNCES INSIDE THE 35, AND FIELD AND COVERED BY SOUTH PAULDING AT THE 33.

>> AND THIS IS JUST A SITUATION HERE.

WE TALKED ABOUT CARMICHAEL IN THE OPEN AND HOW THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP HE OFFERS HERE.

JUST A MISCUE ON HIM.

HE'S SURROUNDED BY COVER MEN RIGHT HERE, JUST TAKING A CHANCE.

NOBODY TOUCHED THE BALL.

IT BOUNCES OFF HIS HAND, AND THAT'S JUST A MISCUE BY HIM, JUST TRYING SOMETIMES A RETURN MAN TO DO TOO MUCH.

YOU'RE COVERED.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES YOU JUST GET AWAY FROM THE BALL.

>> JOSIAH HARRIS CAME UP WITH THE FUMBLE RECOVERY.

WILCOX PULLS HIS WAY OUT OF TWO TACKLES AND DOWN TO THE 32 YARD LINE.

A HART FOUGHT ONE AND A HALF, TO TWO YARDS FROM WILCOX.

>> BEING ABLE TO PENETRATE THAT FRONT AND THAT'S HOW YOU HAVE TO STOP A BIG-TIME RUNNING BACK LIKE WILCOX.

YOU COULD SEE HE JUST GET THAT ONE YARD, THAT MEANNESS THAT COACH ROBINSON TALKED ABOUT, HIS RUNNING BACK POSSESSES.

>> SECOND DOWN AND 9.

>> RIGHT NOW CASE WEISMAN AND HIS OFFENSE ARE GUESSING.

THEY'RE NOT CLEARLY SURE.

THEY'RE COMING WITH PRESSURE ONCE AGAIN OFF THE EDGE.

>> FIRST CARRY OF THE NIGHT FOR TAVON WRIGHT.

WRIGHT GETS A COUPLE OF YARDS.

5'6", 170-POUND SOPHOMORE, AVERAGING FIVE AND A HALF PER CLIP.

>> GET USED TO SEEING NUMBER 26 MILES BUTLER DOWN IN THE BOX.

HE HAS MORE OF A LINEBACKER MENTALITY, BUT RIGHT NOW IN THIS FIRST QUARTER, YOU CAN SEE SOUTH PAULDING NOT ABLE TO GET THE RUN GOING AND THE DEFENSE SHOWING A LITTLE PRIDE AFTER LAST WEEK'S PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE ROMANS.

>> IT'S THIRD DOWN AND 6.

WISEMAN GUNS IN THE MIDDLE AND THROWS IT LOW, TRYING TO CONNECT WITH DIETZ, AND NOW IT'S GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN, AND WE'LL SEE WHAT HEAD COACH ERIC SUMO ROBINSON WANTS TO DO RIGHT HERE.

THAT WAS ACTUALLY NOT 11.

THAT WAS 14 ON THE TARGET.

WASN'T IT?

>> YES, 14.

>> HAYDEN JACKSON.

THERE IS SUMO ROBINSON, THE HEAD COACH OF THIS SOUTH PAULDING TEAM.

HE WAS NOT THE HEAD COACH WHEN THE SEASON STARTED, REPLACED JASON NASH, WHO STEPPED DOWN AFTER THE FIRST TWO GAMES OF THE SEASON, FOR PERSONAL REASONS.

>> AS WE TALKED TO HIM, THE ENERGY, YOU CAN TELL THIS TEAM HAS BEEN FEEDING OFF THAT SINCE HE'S TAKEN OVER AS HEAD COACH.

>> FOURTH DOWN AND WISEMAN GOING TO GO DOWN, AND THE BALL'S GOING TO GO OVER ON DOWNS.

SO BRADBURN COMES UP WITH ANOTHER BIG STOP, AND SOUTH PAULDING CAN'T CASH IN AFTER RECOVERING THE FUMBLED PUNT.

>> FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA IS PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, REMINDING YOU TO BE SAFE ON EVERY TRIP.

BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.

ALSO BROUGHT TO YOU IN PART BY REGIONS BANK.

GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGIONS BANK.

SO MUCH MORE THAN ELECTRICITY.

CIGNA, TOGETHER ALL THE WAY.

AND VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>> TIME TO CATCH UP WITH OUR FRIENDS FROM CARROLTON HIGH SCHOOL TO HAND OUT THE $1500 DONATION AND HANGING OUT IS ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL PAUL FITZSIMONS, THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL HERE AT CARROLTON HIGH.

THANKS FOR BEING WITH CARROLTON ALL SEASON LONG.

>> THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT TO OUR GAME AND THANK YOU TO CIGNA FOR THEIR DONATION AND GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS DO FOR US AND THE GREAT STATE OF GEORGIA.

WE HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.

>> IT'S HOMECOMING HERE.

THANKS TO CIGNA FOR THE $1500 DONATION TO OUR FRIENDS AT CARROLTON HIGH SCHOOL.

>> AND WE ARE HAPPY TO BE HERE AT GRISHAM STADIUM FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

AND SCORELESS, WAYNE, SOUTH PAULDING REALLY MISSED A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY THERE.

>> YOU'RE LOOKING AT TWO DEFENSES, ESPECIALLY IN CARROLTON, WHO FEEL LIKE THEY WERE EMBARRASSED LAST WEEK.

COMING IN, A LOT OF ENERGY AND RIGHT NOW THE PRESSURE THAT THEY'RE BRINGING ON THE QUARTERBACK.

WISEMAN LOOKS CONFUSED IN SOUTH PAULDING.

LET'S SEE IF THIS DEFENSE CAN HOLD UP AGAIN IN M.J.

MORRIS.

>> SO THE TROJANS GO BACK ON OFFENSE, AND THE KEEPER BY MORRIS.

HE GETS ONE ON THE PLAY.

TACKLED BY NUMBER 5 GRAYSON HE WILLER -- GREYSON.

>> AND YOU ARE GOING TO GET A LOT OF THE SOFT COVERAGE OF M.J.

MORRIS.

I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT DEVELOP, AS THE SEASON GOES OF HIM USING HIS FEET BECAUSE THEY LIKE TO PASS THE BALL.

NICE JOB, A LITTLE ROLLOUT.

GETTING THE BALL OUT TO TERRELL CARMICHAEL.

>> THAT WILL BE CLOSE TO THE FIRST DOWN RIGHT THERE.

THAT LOOKED LIKE MORRIS JUST KIND OF DROPPED DOWN LIKE A SIDE ARM PITCHER AND SWUNG IT OUT THERE.

THEY PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN.

>> KANSAS CITY PLAYS FOR THE CHIEFS.

>> HE DOES.

>> EVERY SUNDAY.

NICE JOB BY M.J.

MORRIS.

>> A NICE CALL.

WATCHING A LITTLE BIT OF THAT PATRICK MAHOLMES FILM.

NOT A BAD GUY TO EMULATE AND THAT'S FIRST CATCH FOR LIPSCOMB.

HE'S BEEN OFFERED BY PITT, WESTERN KENTUCKY, AND MORGAN STATE.

>> ONLY 18, NOW 19 RECEPTIONS.

HE IS DANGEROUS DOWN THE FIELD.

GOT GREAT HANDS, RUN GREAT ROUTES WITH MR.

LIPSCOMB.

>> YEAH, HE'S AVERAGING CLOSE TO 80 YARDS RECEIVING PER GAME.

HE'S NUMBER THREE IN TOTAL RECEIVING YARDS.

MORRIS DOWN FIELD AND NEARLY INTERCEPTED, TRYING TO GO BACK TO LIPSCOMB RIGHT THERE.

AND THAT WAS NEHEMIAH PGOUDA, WHO YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IN THE OPEN.

>> NICE BREAK ON THE BALL HERE BY PGOUDA AND ANOTHER KIND OF SIDE-ARM THROW, TRYING TO THROW IT IN BETWEEN THE SAFETY.

AND PGOUDA RIGHT THERE, NICE JOB, YOU CAN SEE THE LENGTH IN HIS ARMS RIGHT THERE.

NOT A BAD CORNER IN HIS FIRST YEAR.

>> MORRIS HAS STARTED THIS GAME 3-4 FOR 20 YARDS.

THIS IS THIRD DOWN AND 3.

FIRST DOWN CATCH BY CARMICHAEL.

BREAKS OUT AND TACKLE.

AND FINALLY SHOVED OUT OF BOUNDS.

AND CARMICHAEL, WHO IS THE NUMBER TWO PASS CATCHER IN RECEIVING YARDS WITH A BIG PLAY.

>> NICE OUT HERE AND THIS IS JUST ABOUT CARMICHAEL AND HIS TALENT.

YOU CAN SEE WHY HE, HIS STOCK IS GOING UP AND UP.

HE GOT SIX TOUCHDOWNS ON THE SEASON.

HE'S A DEEP THREAT, BUT HE'S WILLING TO MIX IT UP TO MAKE PEOPLE MISS.

>> SCREEN PLAY GOES TO HICKS.

DOWN INSIDE THE 10.

PARTAKERLING BUT SOUTH PAULDING.

TOUCHDOWN CARROLTON.

26 YARDS, SCREEN PASS MORRIS TO HICKS, AND THE TROJANS HAVE THE EARLY LEAD.

>> HATS OFF TO OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR REGGIE PERKINS.

GREAT SET-UP BY THE OFFENSIVE LINE ON THIS SCREEN.

THE GUARD AND TACKLE GETTING OUT IN SPACE.

AND WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE OPEN BRYCE HICK AND HIS ABILITY TO CATCH THE BALL AND MAKE PEOPLE MISS, AND SHOWED YOU THE WHOLE PACKAGE RIGHT THERE.

>> PUTS IT UP AND IN.

SIX PLAYS.

67 YARDS.

NICELY EXECUTED.

WE TOLD YOU THAT HICKS IS JUST AS DANGEROUS IN THE PASS GAME AS HE IS THE RUNNING GAME.

CARROLTON ON TOP 7-0.

NOW.

AND M.J.

MORRIS PASSING FOR 71 YARDS AND THAT COMPLETION TO BRYSON HICKS.

TOOK HIM ONLY 77 SECONDS TO COVER THE DISTANCE.

A COUPLE OF PLAYS AND POOR TACKLING BY CARROLLTON.

>> IT'S BUILT ON THE BIG PLAY.

THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO TAKE THE BALL AND GO ON 12, 15 PLAY DRIVES.

IN SOUTH PAULDING, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SHORE UP THEIR TACKLING AGAINST THESE KINDS OF ATHLETES IN CARMICHAEL AND LIPSCOMB.

>> IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO THE 4 YARD LINE.

AND OUT TO THE 20 YARD LINE, AND THAT'S WHERE THE SPARTANS WILL GO ON OFFENSE FOR THE THIRD TIME TONIGHT.

THAT WAS GATES ON THE RETURN.

YOU MENTIONED THAT THIS IS A TROJANS DEFENSE THAT'S GIVEN UP 21 POINTS PER GAME.

281 YARDS PER GAME.

GAVE UP 45 TO ROME LAST WEEK.

THEY ARE PLAYING WITH A DIFFERENT KIND OF INTENSITY TONIGHT.

>> A LOT OF THE PENETRATION UPFRONT AND THEY HAD TO COME IN AND ACCEPT THIS CHALLENGE OF STOPPING JAMARION WILCOX AND I'M SURE THAT THE COACHES REALLY LAID INTO HIM THIS WEEK TO PLAY ATTENTION AND PLAY HARDER.

>> WILCOX ON THE RUN, BOUNCES IT OUTSIDE.

FIRST DOWN FOR WILCOX AND MORRIS DOWN THE SIDELINES.

JAMARION WILCOX WILL TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE.

TOUCHDOWN SOUTH PAULDING.

>> ALL HAIL JAMARION WILCOX.

MATT, YOU MENTIONED.

>> STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS, BY THE WAY.

>> YOU SAW IT RIGHT THERE WHEN HE HIT THAT EXTRA GEAR.

>> LET'S SEE IF WE CAN SEE WHERE HE STEPPED OUT.

>> OUTSIDE, MAKING IT INTO A FOOT RACE, AND THAT RIGHT FOOT RIGHT THERE.

>> WELL, THAT'S TOUGH LUCK BECAUSE HE BEAT EVERYBODY AROUND THAT CORNER AND TOOK IT 79 YARDS FOR A TOUCHDOWN.

BUT IT'S GOING TO END UP BEING A 23-YARD GAME TO THE 44.

WEISMAN'S GOING TO TRY TO GET IT ALL RIGHT HERE.

OVERTHREW HIS RECEIVER INSIDE THE 15 YARD LINE.

THAT WAS HAYDEN JACKSON AGAIN, HIS TARGET.

>> SHOWING YOU A BIG ARM TO GET THAT BALL DOWN FIELD, NOT THINKING WHAT HIS RECEIVER, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE TALENT THAT THIS YOUNG MAN POSSESSES IN THAT ARM.

WE KNOW ABOUT HIS COMPETITIVE NATURE.

RIGHT THERE SHOWING YOU THAT HE CAN AIR IT OUT AND HE HAS BROUGHT THE PASS GAME TO THIS POWERFUL RUN GAME OF SOUTH PAULDING.

>> SECOND DOWN AND 10.

WEISMAN ON THE KEEPER.

NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

BRADBURN IN ON ANOTHER PLAY.

>> RIGHT NOW, OTHER THAN THAT LONG RUN WE JUST SAW 23 YARDS BY WILCOX, THIS CARROLLTON DEFENSE IS PLAYING STIFF AGAINST THE RUN.

I'VE BEEN ON TEAMS WHERE YOU HAVE A BAD GAME THAT LAST WEEK, THERE IS JUST CERTAIN CHALLENGES YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT, AND THEY HAVE ACCEPTED IT.

THEY'RE GOING TO STOP THE RUNS AND PLAY HARDER AND TRY TO BOX THIS WILCOX AND WRIGHT RUN GAME IN.

>> SAW COACH ROBINSON THERE PROMOTED WHEN JASON NASH STEPPED DOWN.

NASH COACHED THE TEAM FOR 11 GAMES DATING BACK TO LAST SEASON, GOING 7-4.

AND SUMO'S GONE 3-0 SINCE TAKING OVER, INCLUDING THAT BIG WIN AGAINST ROME TWO WEEKS AGO.

>> MIGHT HAVE A FALSE START HERE ON ISAAC KEEN, THE RIGHT TACKLE.

HE MOVED A LITTLE EARLY.

>> Referee: ON THE DEFENSE, 5-YARD PENALTY.

DOWN TO THE 3.

>> I THINK THAT MEANS THAT HE WAS -- WHICH PROBABLY MEANS HE WAS YELLING OR YELLING OR FAKING, TRYING TO MAKE THE OFFENSIVE LINE MOVE.

>> THERE YOU SEE JOEY KING BACK IN GEORGIA AS THE HEAD COACH.

THE 71-5.

HE WENT 67 IN FOUR AS THE HEAD COACH AT CARTERSVILLE.

SPENT THE LAST TWO YEARS IN THE COLLEGIATE RANKS.

HE WAS AT COASTAL CAROLINA AND THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA LAST YEAR.

AND TAKES OFF A TACKLE AND GOES DOWN FOR A LOSS.

THERE IS A FLAG OUT ON THE PLAY.

CORNELIUS SPENCER RIGHT THERE.

LET'S CHECK THE PENALTY FLAG.

>> Referee: HOLDING ON THE OFFENSE.

PENALTY IS DECLINED.

FOURTH DOWN.

>> SO THEY'LL TAKE THE LOSS INSTEAD OF THE PENALTY AND GIVE THEM ANOTHER DOWN.

AND SO SOUTH PAULDING, AFTER GETTING THAT HUGE RUN FROM JAMARION WILCOX, NOW HAS TO PUNT IT AWAY FROM THE 47.

>> ONCE AGAIN, GREAT PENETRATION BY THIS TROJAN DEFENSE, JUST STOPPING THE RUN.

JAMARION WILCOX, WE'VE SEEN, HAD TO NEGOTIATE SOMEONE IN THE BACK FIELD.

EACH AND EVERY TIME HE TOUCHES THE BALL.

NICE JOB THE TROJANS, ONCE AGAIN STALLING THIS OFFENSE.

>> JACK ANDRES TO PUNT.

LINE DRIVE KICK AND CARMICHAEL DOESN'T TOUCH IT, AND THE BALL WILL BE DOWN AT THE 26 YARD LINE, AND THAT'S WHERE THE TROJANS WILL GO BACK ON OFFENSE.

NOW THAT TIME HE MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY HAD A CHANCE TO PICK IT UP AND GO, RIGHT?

BUT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME WITH THE FUMBLED PUNT RETURN, THEY DID NOT RISK IT.

37-YARD KICK BY ANDRES, AND M.J.

MORRIS TAKES HIS OFFENSE BACK OUT THERE.

MORRIS CHOOSING THE WOLFPACK OVER THE SUMMER, OVER 33 OTHER OFFERS.

>> AND COACH KING TALKED ABOUT HIS LEADERSHIP AND HOW THAT HAS BEEN THE KEY TO WHY THEY'RE HAVING SO MUCH SUCCESS.

HE HAS TAKEN THIS OFFENSE AND THIS TEAM, AND THEY ARE FOLLOWING HIM AND LIVING ON HIS ABILITY TO THROW THE BALL.

>> THAT WAS LIPSCOMB WITH THE CATCH.

THIS IS A DEADLY COMBO RIGHT HERE, THE MORRIS-LIPSCOMB-CARMICHAEL.

THAT OTHER WIDE RECEIVER.

WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE BALL GO HIS WAY JUST YET.

BUT MORRIS, THE NUMBER ONE PASSER, IN 6A.

273 YARDS PER GAME.

CARMICHAEL FIRST DOWN.

AND CARMICHAEL, MAN, HE WAS THAT CLOSE TO SPRINGING A TOUCHDOWN RIGHT THERE.

DYNAMIC PLAYER, CARMICHAEL.

FIVE OFFERS, INCLUDING COASTAL CAROLINA, SOUTH ALABAMA, AND TROY.

>> AND THE KEY TO THIS PASSING GAME SO FAR IN THIS GAME IS M.J.

MORRIS IS DELIVERING THE BALL THAT HIS RECEIVERS ARE ABLE TO CATCH.

HAS HIDDEN THEIR HANDS SOLVE AND THEY'RE ABLE TO RUN AND NOT HAVING TO BREAK STRIDE.

AND RIGHT NOW THE SOUTH PAULDING DEFENSE IS JUST WIELDING.

>> THE TACKLE BUT NOT THAT ONE.

AS HE GOES DOWN AT THE 50 YARD LINE.

THAT WAS HE WILLER-BY- >> BUT HE'S SHOWING YOU HIS DYNAMIC ABILITY WITH THE BALL IN HIS HAND.

>> PROBABLY THE FINAL PLAY OF THE FIRST QUARTER RIGHT HERE, WELL, MAYBE NOT.

LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO LET THE CLOCK RUN OUT, AND IT DOES.

SO WE PLAYED 12 MINUTES IN GRISHAM STADIUM IN CARROLLTON.

EIGHTH RANKED TROJANS ON TOP 7-0 IN WEST GEORGIA.

>> STARTING AT THE SECOND QUARTER AT CARROLLTON.

THE TROJANS ARE ON TOP 7-0.

AS WE HEAD TO THE SECOND QUARTER HERE IN THIS REGION FIVE, SIX-DAY SHOWDOWN ON HOMECOMING NIGHT AT GRISHAM STADIUM.

YOU REMEMBER HOMECOMING?

>> YEAH, I WAS IN THE LOCKER ROOM.

>> YOU MISSED OUT ON ALL THE FUN.

>> I'M JUST ABOUT TO ASK YOU WHAT HAPPENED AT HOMECOMING?

I HAVE NO CLUE.

>> SECOND DOWN AND 11.

THE BALL AT THE 50 YARD LINE.

MORRIS, SEVEN OF EIGHT FOR ONE QUARTER OF WORK, AS WE HAVE A FLAG BEFORE THE PLAY CAN BE RUN.

>> Referee: FALSE START ON THE OFFENSE.

FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

>> NUMBER 70, THE LEFT GUARD, JAYLAN WALTON AND THIS TROJAN OFFENSIVE LINE IS YOUNG.

ONLY ONE STARTER ON THAT LEFT GUARD SPOT.

BUT THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB HERE TONIGHT IN PASS PROTECTION FOR THEIR QUARTERBACK M.J.

MORRIS.

>> MORRIS, GOING TO GO DOWN AT THE 50 YARD LINE.

MIDDLEBROOKS RUNS HIM DOWN BEFORE HE CAN SPRING A LONG RUN.

FIVE-YARD PICKUP.

THIRD DOWN AND LONG.

>> GOOD PROTECTION UP FRONT.

NICE JOB ON THE END.

THE LEFT TACKLE.

NOWHERE TO GO TO THE BALL.

AND IF YOU'RE M.J.

MORRIS, THIS IS THE KIND OF COVERAGE YOU ARE GOING TO START GETTING.

AND YOU USE THAT SHORT PASSING GAME AS YOUR RUN GAME AND MAKE QUICK DECISIONS.

HE'S GOING TO PLAY SOFT, MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET THAT BIG PLAY.

>> THIRD DOWN, ANOTHER WHISTLE.

>> Referee: TIME-OUT DEFENSE.

>> YOU SAW MIDDLEBROOKS AND TWO OF THEIR STARTERS OVER THERE ON THE SIDELINE, AND IT LOOKED LIKE THEY PROBABLY DID NOT HAVE THE PERSONNEL THEY WANTED ON THE FIELD RIGHT THERE.

SO COACH ROBINSON WISELY BURNED A TIME-OUT.

SECOND EVER MEETING BETWEEN THESE TWO TEAMS.

UP UNTIL LAST YEAR, THEY WERE NOT EVEN IN THE SAME REGION.

41-21 WIN FOR THE TROJANS LAST YEAR.

AS WE CHECK IN WITH JON NELSON AT GRISHAM STADIUM.

>> WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT TRADITION AND HOW JOEY KING IS TRYING TO START HIS.

TAKE YOU BACK TO WEEK ONE WITH THEIR HOME GAME HERE AT GRISHAM STADIUM.

SO WHAT DO THEY DO WHEN JONESBORO COMES OUT TO TOWN?

THEY BREAK OUT THE NOTRE DAME BOX.

HE RAN THAT.

SO FIRST PLAY OUT OF THE BOX 80 YARDS.

TOUCHDOWN.

A NOD TO THE PASS BY JOEY KING, KNOWING WHAT COACH GRISHAM HAS MEANT TO THE CARROLLTON COMMUNITY IN THEIR BIG WIN OVER JONESBORO.

BACK TO YOU.

>> ANNIVERSARY SEASON'S THIS YEAR.

THE 50-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1971 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM AND THE 60-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1961 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM.

CANNOT CONNECT.

AND A MAN FLASHING OPEN THERE NEAR THE SIDELINE.

I THINK THAT WAS JORDAN WHITE, THE TIGHT END OR THE WIDE RECEIVER.

IT'S GOING TO BE FOURTH DOWN.

>> THIRD AND LONG.

USING A LITTLE ROLLOUT TO GET AWAY FROM THE PRESSURE.

AND THE ONE THING, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THAT LAST DEFENSIVE FRONT THERE BY THE SPARTANS, THE SAFETIES ARE 20 YARDS DEEP.

SO IT'S GOING HARD TO GET THIS BALL DOWN FIELD.

IF YOU'RE M.J.

MORRIS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO USE THOSE PLAYS, AS WE SAW IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

ROLLOUT AND TAKE AND BE PATIENT TO BEAT THIS SPARTAN DEFENSE.

>> DROPS A PUNT AT THE 20 YARD LINE, FIELDED AT THE 17 YARD LINE.

THAT'S THE THIRD PUNT HE'S PUT INSIDE THE 20 HERE IN HIS FIRST TWO GAMES BACK.

FIELDED BY ALEC WATKINS AND A ROUGH START FOR HIM.

ONE OF FOUR OF A 16-YARD COMPLETION.

GATES' ONLY CONNECTION IN THAT FIRST QUARTER.

>> RIGHT NOW NOT ABLE TO RUN THE BALL.

THE SPARTANS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON WISEMAN AND NOT ABLE TO CONNECT DOWN THE FIELD.

THERE AND AND GOT TO CASH IN ON THEIR OPPORTUNITY.

THEY RECOVERED A FUMBLED PUNT INSIDE THE 40 YARD LINE.

DIDN'T SCORE.

THEY HAD A 49-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN CALLED BACK BECAUSE WILCOX STEPPED OUT AFTER 22 YARDS.

WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING A TEAM THE CALIBER OF CARROLLTON WITH ALL THEIR HISTORY, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY HISTORY, AND YOU'RE TRYING TO PULL OFF WHAT WOULD BE AN UPSET, YOU JUST GOT TO GET THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AND CASH IN ON THEM.

>> AND CARROLLTON RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE CHALLENGING WEISMAN TO BEAT YOU WITH THE BALL.

MYLES BUTLER YOU HAVE THERE COMING OFF THAT EDGE, HITTING JAMARION WILCOX BEFORE HE CAN GET STARTED.

THAT IS THE GAME RIGHT NOW AND THIS PASSING GAME IS GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE SOME SUCCESS TO GET THESE SAFETIES OUT THE BOX.

>> WILCOX, SIX CARRIES FOR 22 YARDS.

>> ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE MYLES BUTLER.

>> NUMBER 26 INCHING TOWARDS THE LINE.

>> HE DROPS BACK INTO COVERAGE.

AND WEISMAN, A NICE, SAFE PASS RIGHT THERE, WITH HIS SECOND COMPLETION GOING TO HARRIS, A SEVEN-YARD PICKUP.

>> SPREADING THE BALL AROUND.

HAS SOLID, BIG RECEIVERS TO GET THE BALL TO IN GATES, HARRIS, AND WATKINS.

BUT THEY ARE PREDICATED AT BEING ABLE TO RUN THE BALL, AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW.

>> THEY'RE GOING TO RULE THAT HE DIDN'T PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN.

BUT HE MUST HAVE STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS.

AND THAT'S WHY HE LOOKED SO UNHAPPY OVER THERE ON THE SIDELINE.

AND WILCOX WILL NOT PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN EITHER.

YOU SAW BIG ISAAC KEEN, THE 6'3", 290-POUND JUNIOR POINTING IN THE DIRECTION OF FIRST DOWN YARDAGE.

BUT WE'LL HAVE TO CHECK THE SPOT HERE.

>> STEPPING UP AND MEETING CHALLENGES.

>> HE DID GET THE FIRST DOWN.

>> MAKING IT HARD THIS DEFENSE.

YOU CAN SEE THE PRIDE THEY ARE TAKING.

270 YARDS RUSHING THEY GAVE UP UP LAST WEEK AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE MAKING A SUPERIOR RUN GAME, A FIGHT FOR EACH AND EVERY YARD.

>> WE TOLD YOU ABOUT HIM OFF THE TOP.

ONE OF THE HIGHEST RATED OFFENSIVE LINEMEN IN THE COUNTRY IN THE JUNIOR CLASS.

WEISMAN FLINGS IT AND BROKEN UP BY CARMICHAEL, TRYING TO GET IT TO DJ REESE.

>> CARMICHAEL, WE SAW WITH A NICE OUT AND THEN HE MADE A COUPLE PEOPLE MISS.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT HE CAME IN AT THAT SAFETY POSITION AND NICE BREAK ON THE BALL, AS CARMICHAEL DID, THE SENIOR.

>> TWO-WAY STARTER, ALSO THEIR TOP PUNT RETURNER, AND HE'S ALSO THEIR NUMBER TWO QUARTERBACK, TOO.

WILCOX, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL GETTING A HANDLE ON HIM.

ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT GUYS GET HILL ON THE GROUND.

>> STOP THE RUN.

THE NUMBER ONE KEY, THAT JOEY KING, THE HEAD COACH AT CARROLLTON TALKED ABOUT.

GOOD PENETRATION, BOUNCE IT TO THE OUTSIDE AND RALLY TO THE BALL, COME TO THE BALL WITH A PURPOSE.

EIGHT JERSEYS BRINGING HIM DOWN.

THAT'S THE KIND OF PLAYER HE IS.

AND THEY ARE PLAYING TOP-NOTCH RUN DEFENSE, IS THIS TROJAN DEFENSE RIGHT NOW.

>> 26 YARDS FOR WILCOX.

HE CAME IN WITH 10 TOUCHDOWNS.

HE ALREADY HAD TWO RUSHING GAMES THIS SEASON.

PLAYING, FIELDS IT DOWN FIELD AND BROKE IT UP AT THE 25, AND THERE IS A FLAG DOWN DIETZ WAS THE INTENDED TARGET, AND AMARE HALL, THE SAFETY, BROKE IT UP.

WAYNE.

>> Referee: DOWN FIELD.

ON THE OFFENSE.

FOURTH DOWN.

>> AS A LIFETIME OFFENSIVE LINEMAN, EXPLAIN HOW THEY GET CALLED ON PLAYS LIKE THAT.

>> YOU LOSE YOUR AWARENESS OF WHERE YOU ARE IN THE PLAY.

>> THE QUARTERBACK MOVING.

>> ONCE HE STARTS SCRAMBLING, YOU START GETTING A SENSE THAT HE'S GOING TO RUN THE BALL, AND THEN HE PULLS UP AND YOU'RE TWO OR THREE YARDS DOWN THE FIELD.

>> SO ANDRES ON THE PUNT AGAIN.

HE'S STANDING AT THE 16 YARD LINE.

ANOTHER FLAG OUT, AS THE BALL GOES OVER THE HEAD OF CARMICHAEL AND ROLLS DEAD AT THE 23.

ILLEGAL SHIFT.

>> Referee: ILLEGAL SHIFT ON THE KICKING TEAM.

FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

>> AND TO FINISH THAT THOUGHT, MATT, THE ONE THING ABOUT IT IS BASED ON WHO IS PLAYING QUARTERBACK, IF YOU'RE BLOCKING FOR PEYTON MANNING, YOU NEVER HAD TO WORRY.

DAN MARINO, THEY WERE NEVER GOING DOWN FIELD.

BUT IF YOU HAVE A MOBILE QUARTERBACK, THEY CAN PUT YOU IN STICKY SITUATIONS WHERE YOU CAN'T READ THEIR MIND TO WHERE THEY'RE GOING AND YOU TRY TO GET A BLOCK.

>> LIKE MIKE VICK?

>> LIKE MIKE VICK.

>> THAT MUST HAVE BEEN A CHALLENGE AS AN OFFENSIVE LINE.

>> HE ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT HE WAS GOING TO LEAD LEFT HE WAS IN TROUBLE SO THAT HELPED OUT A LITTLE BIT.

>> ANDRES, LINE DRIVE KICK AND THAT'S WHERE THE TROJANS WILL GO BACK ON OFFENSE, AFTER THIS 31-YARD PUNT, AND AFTER THIS >> 7-0 CARROLLTON.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH GEORGIA IS A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED LEADER IN ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, AFFORDABILITY, AND STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT WITH MORE THAN 80 UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS, MASTERS AND DOCTORAL PROGRAMS IN BUSINESS, EDUCATION, HEALTH SCIENCES, CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND MORE.

DETAILS.

BACK AT GRISHAM STADIUM.

CARROLLTON, GEORGIA.

FIRST TIME WE'VE EVER BROUGHT GPB TO THIS CAMPUS AND WE'RE HAPPY TO BE HERE.

TROJANS FIRST AND 10 FROM THEIR 42 YARD LINE.

KIND OF HIT A RASH OF PENALTIES HERE.

>> Referee: FALSE START ON THE OFFENSE.

FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

>> AND BOTH TEAMS HAVING A LOT OF PRESNAP PENALTIES, AND THAT'S THE ONES THAT REALLY AGE YOU IF YOU'RE A HEAD COACH.

COACH KING RIGHT THERE.

YOU PRACTICE ALL WEEK DIFFERENT GROUPS, CADENCE AND YOU GET IN THE GAME AND YOU CREATE FIRST AND 15 FOR YOUR OFFENSE RIGHT OFF THE BAT, AND SOUTH PAULDING DEFENSE HAS REALLY STOOD UP TO THIS TROJAN OFFENSE.

CAN M.J.

MORRIS AND HIS TEAM SHOW A LITTLE MORE PATIENCE AND WORK THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD?

>> FIRST AND 15.

CATCH AND GO.

OFF TO THE RACES.

AND A LONE TOUCHDOWN FOR THE CARROLLTON TROJAN.

AMARE HALL WITH JUST HIS SECOND CATCH OF THE SEASON.

63 YARDS.

>> A LITTLE ACTION HERE BY M.J.

MORRIS COMING BACK TO THAT BACK SIDE SLANT.

AND THEN IT BECOMES ABOUT AMARE HALL FACING THE PRESSURE, A LITTLE SIDE ARM DELIVERY.

AND WE'VE SEEN WHEN THIS SPARTAN DEFENSE BREAKS DOWN.

IT'S BASED ON TACK TELLING, AND THERE IS NO CATCHING AMARE HALL RIGHT THERE, FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

>> ON AND UP AND GOOD.

14-0 CARROLLTON.

SLANT AND GO AND NOBODY WAS CATCHING AMARE HALL.

HAD ONE MAN TO MEET.

WHEN HE BEAT HIM, HE WAS GONE.

>> A LITTLE FAKE TO HICKS.

KNOWING WHERE HE'S GOING WITH THAT BALL ON THE BACK SIDE TO HALL.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS SLANT, NICE JOB DELIVERING THE BALL.

AND ONCE AGAIN, MATT, YOU CAN SEE M.J.

MORRIS THROWS A CATCHABLE BALL.

THESE GUYS ARE NOT HAVING TO BREAK STRIDE AT ALL.

THEY'RE RUNNING THROUGH THE CATCH, NOT HAVING TO BREAK THEIR SPEED.

AND RIGHT NOW SOUTH PAULDING IS HAVING AN ISSUE TACKLING BIG PLAY OFFENSE, AND THEY ARE LIVING UP THE BILLING.

THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO DRIVE THE BALL.

THEY ARE TRYING TO SCORE IN THREE OR FOUR PLAYS THIS TIME AND ONE BIG PLAY.

>> SO MORRIS, EIGHT OF 10 FOR 158 AND TWO TOUCHDOWNS.

LIKE YOU SAID, HE THROWS A CATCHABLE BALL.

>> VERY EFFICIENT AND THROWS A NICE BALL.

>> BOBBLED INSIDE THE 5 YARD LINE.

AND SOUTH PAULDING, THINGS GOING FROM BAD TO WORSE.

GATES ON THAT RETURN, AND A FLAG OUT.

SO LET'S CHECK THE UNSPORTSMAN-LIKE CONDUCT PENALTY THAT'S COMING UP HERE AS WELL.

>> AND THE ONE THING YOU GET GOING A QUARTER AND SOME CHANGE INTO THE GAME.

CARROLLTON IS PLAYING WITH MORE ENERGY.

>> Referee: AFTER THE PLAY, UNSPORTS MAN LIKE ON THE KICKING TEAM.

15 YARDS.

FIRST DOWN.

>> WELL, THAT'S A HUGE BREAK FOR SOUTH PAULDING, BECAUSE THEY HAD THE SPARTANS PINNED IN.

HE NEARLY STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 5 YARD LINE.

FIELDING THAT KICKOFF, TOO.

>> SOME SHOVING THERE ON THE SIDELINE.

DIDN'T REALLY SEE ANYTHING VICIOUS.

SO >> SUMO ROBINSON, THE HEAD COACH FOR SOUTH PAULDING, HAS HIS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM HERE, HIS TEAM TRAILING THE TROJANS 14-0.

HE GOT HIS NAME AT 8 OR 9 YEARS OLD.

THE PROGRAM STARTED CALLING HIM SUMO, AND IT STUCK HIS WHOLE LIFE.

CATCH AND RUN RIGHT THERE BY JOSIAH HARRIS.

>> NICE JOB BY RYAN DIETZ, THE RECEIVER, BLOCKING AND THEN LETTING THE CORNER GO AND NUMBER 11 OUT HERE IS THE KEY TO THIS.

THEN HE LET THE CORNER BACK GO.

NICE JOB OF THROWING AND CATCHING AND BLOCKING.

NICE EXECUTION BY SOUTH PAULDING.

>> WE ENJOYED OUR ZOOM CALL WITH ROBINSON THIS WEEK.

WEISMAN GOT NO MUSTARD ON THAT THROW BECAUSE HIS FEET AREN'T SET.

HE'S A GOOD QUARTERBACK, WE KNOW THAT, BUT THAT'S A TOUGH THROW FOR ANY QUARTERBACK RIGHT THERE.

>> YOU COULD TELL BY HIS BODY LANGUAGE, A LITTLE FRUSTRATED, NOT ABLE TO SIT IN THE POCKET AND DELIVER THE BALL UNDER DURESS.

CARROLLTON DEFENSE COMING WITH PRESSURE.

SAW WHERE HE WANTED TO GO BUT DID NOT HAVE TIME TO GET SET UP FOR HIS OPERATION OF DELIVERING THE BALL.

>> SECOND DOWN AND 10.

YOU SEE THREE OF NINE FOR 39 YARDS IN THIS GAME.

GOT A POCKET FOR THE SCREEN PASS.

AND LOSS OF YARDAGE ON THE PLAY.

CARROLLTON, GREAT ASSIGNMENT FOOTBALL RIGHT THERE.

THEY WERE NOT FOOLED BY IT.

WILCOX IS DROPPED FOR A LOSS.

>> STOPPED THE RUN, BUT THIS TROJAN DEFENSE WAS THE FIRST KEY.

TAMED THE QUARTERBACK AND KEEP HIM GUESSING WAS THE SECOND KEY COACH KING GAVE US, AND RIGHT NOW WEISMAN, THE QUARTERBACK, AND THIS OFFENSE, THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE A FEEL OF WHAT DEFENSE THIS TROJAN DEFENSE IS IN.

THEY'RE MIXING IT UP AND CONFUSING THIS OFFENSE.

>> HIGH THROW.

RUSHED IT TO BRENDAN GATES.

WEISMAN JUST DID NOT GIVE THAT TIME TO SET UP.

>> JUST NOT A GOOD SERIES THERE FOR SOUTH PAULDING.

A LITTLE FRUSTRATION SETTING IN, AND AS I SPOKE ABOUT A LITTLE CONFUSED RIGHT NOW.

THEY ARE RUSHING THREE.

THEY ARE DROPPING EIGHT.

THEY'RE BRINGING EIGHT.

EIGHT ON THE LINE.

ALL EIGHT IS COMING.

RIGHT NOW A GOOD MIX FOR THE TROJAN DEFENSE, CONFUSING WEISMAN.

>> 13 YARD LINE TO PUNT.

AND CARMICHAEL STANDING DEEP.

HE DOES HAVE A 50-YARD PUNT RETURN TOUCHDOWN THIS SEASON.

AND KICK IT AWAY FROM HIM AND LET'S SEE WHERE HE'S GOING TO SPOT IT OUT.

LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE UP AROUND THE 43 YARD LINE.

AS WE SEND IT DOWN TO NELLY.

>> ALL RIGHT, HERE IS YOUR FIRST UPDATE WITH SCORES FROM ALL AROUND THE STATE.

IN THE REGION BROOKS COUNTY LEADING EARLY, AS IS ERWIN COUNTY.

WARNER ROBBINS WAS UP 21-7.

CHRIS LEADING MARY PERSONS AND LEADING NORTH MIAMI BEACH 20-14.

>> ALL RIGHT, NELLY.

THANK YOU.

AS THE TROJANS GO BACK ON OFFENSE.

6:41 TO PLAY HERE IN THE FIRST HALF.

HICKS.

FINDS EIGHT YARDS SOMEHOW.

BRYSON HICKS.

SIX TOTAL TOUCHDOWNS ALREADY THIS SEASON.

PICKED UP HIS SEVENTH EARLIER IN THE GAME ON THE 26-YARD SCREEN PASS.

>> NICE JOB OF THE TROJANS IN EXECUTION TONIGHT.

AS WE TALKED ABOUT, M.J.

MORRIS IN THE PASS GAME.

OFFENSIVE LINE, ONCE AGAIN GREAT PROTECTION UP FRONT.

>> LIPSCOMB FLASHED OPEN.

THAT'S A ONE-ON-ONE MATCHUP THEY'LL TAKE ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT.

THEY JUST DIDN'T CONNECT.

>> M.J.

MORRIS JUST MISSING ONE OF THE FEW MISCUES HE'S SHOWN.

POST ROUTE THERE BY LIPSCOMB THROWING IT BEHIND HIM, LEADING TO THE FIELD.

AND WE MIGHT BE STRIKING UP THE BAND FOR ANOTHER SIX ON THE BOARD.

>> YOU SEE HIS NUMBERS TONIGHT COMPARED TO LAST WEEK AGAINST ROME.

THIRD DOWN AND 1.

HICKS FIRST DOWN AND THIS MIGHT GO.

MAKE THE MOVE.

HICKS IS GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE.

TOUCHDOWN CARROLLTON.

>> BRYCE HICKS, A SOPHOMORE, IS BECOMING THE HICKS SHOW OUT HERE.

HE DOESN'T GET A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO RUN THE BALL, AND THIS IS SOME OF THAT SPEED AND SHIFTING THAT COACH KING SAYS HE POSSESSES RIGHT THERE.

JUST TRYING TO PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS DEFENSE.

AND AS WE TALKED ABOUT, RIGHT NOW SOUTH PAULDING, SPARTAN NOT DOING A GOOD JOB TACKLING AT ALL.

>> THE KICK IS BLOCKED.

AND THE SCORE WILL REMAIN 20-0.

48-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN BY BRYCE HICKS.

SECOND TOUCHDOWN OF THE NIGHT FOR THE SOPHOMORE.

AND THE TROJANS HAVE A 20-0 LEAD.

>> 20-0 BRYCE HICKS HAVING HIMSELF A FIRST HALF.

26-YARD TOUCHDOWN CATCH ON A SCREEN PLAY, AND NOW A 48-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN.

AND NOW HE'S UP TO EIGHT TOUCHDOWNS FOR THE SEASON.

>> WHAT SHIFTINESS.

WE KNEW HE HAD THE SPEED RIGHT THERE RUNNING BETWEEN THE TACKLES.

ONLY A SOPHOMORE.

SURE, HE'S STARTING TO GO UP A LOT OF PEOPLE'S RANKING.

>> HE'S TRYING TO PLAY IT COOL.

HE'S PRETENDING LIKE THE CAMERA'S NOT THERE.

>> GOT TO ACT LIKE HE'S BEEN THERE BEFORE, MATT.

>> FIVE CARRIES.

63 YARDS, AND THAT RECEPTION FOR A TOUCHDOWN AS WELL TONIGHT.

SO THE BALL'S GOING TO COME OUT TO THE 20 YARD LINE.

AND NUMBER ONE, THE OFFENSIVE LINE FOR SOUTH PAULDING, HAS TO DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF PROTECTING WEISMAN, GIVING HIM A CHANCE.

THIS IS AN OFFENSIVE LYE LINE THAT THIS WEEK WAS RECOGNIZED BY GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL DAILY AS THE OFFENSIVE LINE OF THE WEEK.

AND THEY HAVE NOT DONE A VERY GOOD JOB, QUITE FRANKLY HERE TONIGHT PROTECTING WEISMAN.

>> TOO MUCH PENETRATION ON RUN PLAYS AND NOT ENOUGH TIME TO SET UP FOR WEISMAN.

CAN THEY FIND THEIR FOOTING HERE TO END THIS HALF?

RIGHT NOW THEY SEEM TO BE CONFUSED, AND THEY ARE BEING DICTATED TO BY THIS TROJAN DEFENSE.

>> I THINK YOU BROUGHT UP THE POINT THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR FOR THE TROJANS JUSTIN MONTGOMERY, HAS BEEN BRINGING PRESSURE FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THEY'RE BRINGING.

THEY JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COMING ON ANY PARTICULAR PLAY.

WILCOX, NO RUNNING ROOM.

>> AND THAT RIGHT THERE, THAT ENERGY I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THEY ARE PAYING VERY CLOSE ATTENTION WHEN JAMARION WILCOX GETS THE BALL.

THEY DON'T CARE.

THEY'RE SELLING OUT TO GET HIM ON THE GROUND.

THEY UNDERSTAND THE KIND OF BACK HE IS.

>> HAD A 79-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN BUT CALLED BACK AS HE STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS.

STRONG RUN BY WILCOX UP CLOSE TO THE FIRST DOWN MARKER.

JAKE FARMER IN ON THAT TACKLE.

YOU SEE A LOT OF PROMISE IN JAMARION WILCOX, THOUGH, DRAWING INTEREST FROM GEORGIA, GEORGIA TECH, AND LOUISVILLE.

5'10", 195 JUNIOR.

PRETTY SURE THERE ARE GOING TO BE OFFERS VERY SOON.

>> MIGHT HAVE TO DROP THE BABY AND JUST CALL HIM CHUBBS CAUSE HE IS SHOWING YOU A LOT OF BETWEEN THE TACKLE AND YOU CAN SEE THE EXPLOSION ONCE HE GETS THE BALL IN HIS HANDS.

>> HE'S BEEN A BRIGHT SPOT TONIGHT.

THAT WILL BE A FIRST DOWN CARRY FOR WILCOX.

AND LOOK AT THAT.

YOU GOT FIVE GUYS AROUND HIM AS SOON AS HE TOUCHES THE BALL.

>> COACH ROBINSON AT HALFTIME.

YOU WANT TO ADDRESS YOUR OFFENSIVE LINE OF GETTING TO THE BALL.

YOU CAN'T HAVE FIVE, SIX GUYS JUST JUMPING ON YOUR RUNNING BACK CONSISTENTLY.

YOU GOT TO GET SOME HATS OVER THERE.

IT'S THIRD AND ONE.

I KNOW HE'S A BIG BACK AND HE CAN FIGHT.

BUT YOU HAVE TO GET SOME OF THESE PEOPLE OFF OF YOUR STAR TAILBACK.

>> 11 CARRIES.

37 HARD FOUGHT YARDS FOR HIM.

WEISMAN LOBS IT DOWN FIELD AND MISSED HIS MAN.

HAD DIETZ RUNNING WIDE OPEN.

>> RIGHT NOW KASEN WEISMAN, THIS IS A FUNCTION OF THE PRESSURE.

RIGHT HERE HE FELT THAT PRESSURE BARRELLING DOWN ON HIM BY BRANDEN COMING FROM THE BACK SIDE.

HE HAS TO BE WILLING TO STOP, SET UP, AND DELIVER THIS BALL TO DIETZ, WHO IS RUNNING ACROSS THE FIELD WIDE OPEN.

>> SAW SUMO THERE.

HE'S GOOD FRIENDS WITH DIXON, WHO WE SAW EARLIER IN THE SEASON.

THE HEAD COACH AT CRAIG'S SIDE.

THEY WERE TEAMMATES THERE.

MAN, THAT'S A NICE OPEN FIELD TACKLE RIGHT THERE BY DARION WILLIAMS.

WILCOX IS A TOUGH GUY TO BRING DOWN.

THAT SHOWS YOU HOW STRONG DARION WILLIAMS IS.

SECOND TFL FOR WILLIAMS IN THIS GAME.

>> AND IT STARTED WITH THE PRESSURE OFF THE END BY MYLES BUTLER.

WILCOX HAS CONSISTENTLY EVERY OTHER RUN HAD TO NEGOTIATE SOMEONE STANDING IN HIS BACK FIELD.

HE MAKES BUTLER MISS AND RUNS RIGHT INTO WILLIAMS FOR ANOTHER TACKLE FOR A LOSS.

>> THIRD DOWN AND 12.

WEISMAN GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER LOSS.

MONTRESS SMITH TACKLES HIM IN THE BACK FIELD, AND IT'S FOURTH DOWN.

>> GOOD PROTECTION PICKING UP THE STUNT WAS THE OFFENSIVE LINE KASEN WEISMAN.

NOT SURE WHY HE TOOK OFF TO RUN THIS BALL.

HE HAS PROTECTION.

JUST DIDN'T LIKE WHAT WAS GOING ON DOWN THE FIELD, AND THEY HAVE THEM FLUSTERED NOW IN THE POCKET.

>> YEAH, THAT PRESSURE HAS COME AT HIM SO VIGOROUSLY THAT HE'S MAKING POOR DECISIONS.

WASN'T IT SAM DONALD WHO WAS >> YEAH, YOU START SEEING PEOPLE FROM EVERY ANGLE ON THE FIELD.

WHEN YOU START GETTING RATLED, YOU GET DOWN ON YOURSELF.

>> CARMICHAEL GOT A COUPLE OF TACKLES.

GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR THIS GUY.

GETS AROUND THE EDGE.

CARMICHAEL GOING TO CUT BACK.

TERRELL CARMICHAEL TOUCHDOWN, BUT THERE IS A FLAG DOWN ON THE FIELD.

60 YARDS.

TERRELL CARMICHAEL.

BUT IT MIGHT BE COMING BACK.

>> BIG-TIME TALENT IS CARMICHAEL, AND I THINK HE'S STILL TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR THAT MISCUE EARLIER ON THAT PUNT.

>> Referee: BLOCKING ON THE RETURN TEAM.

10-YARD PENALTY.

FIRST DOWN.

>> THAT ERASES A 60-YARD PUNT RETURN TOUCHDOWN BY TERRELL CARMICHAEL.

AND A GREAT STORY ON CARMICHAEL.

HE'S GOT FIVE OFFERS.

COASTAL CAROLINA'S ONE OF THEM.

THE GUY WHO OFFERED HIM AT COASTAL CAROLINA IS NOW HIS HEAD COACH.

WHEN JOEY KING WAS ON THE STAFF IN 2019, HE OFFERED CARMICHAEL AS A SOPHOMORE.

AND NOW HE'S COACHING HIM AS A SENIOR.

BLOCKING THE BACK RIGHT THERE.

>> RIGHT THERE.

AND HARD ON THE BLOCKER.

AS YOU CAN SEE AT THE LAST MOMENT.

>> THE DEFENDER TURNED HIS BACK ON HIM.

>> KIND OF BATED HIM INTO THAT CALL.

>> KIND OF LIKE A FLOP IN BASKETBALL, ISN'T IT?

SO THE BALL SPOTTED AT THE 28 YARD LINE, AND INCOMPLETE.

LOOKING FOR HALL, WHO ALREADY HAS THAT BIG 63-YARD TOUCHDOWN CATCH AND RUN TONIGHT.

>> JUST ALL DAY TO SURVEY THE FIELD RIGHT THERE.

GOOD JOB.

SIMS, WALTON, MASON.

CARR UP FRONT.

WALKER.

FIVE, SIX SECONDS TO TRY TO FIND SOMEONE TO GET THIS BALL TO AND CAN'T CONTINUE TO GIVE THAT KIND OF TIME TO A QUARTERBACK LIKE MORRIS.

>> HICKS CAN'T HOLD ON TO IT THAT TIME.

>> A LOT OF RUNNING ROOM.

IF BRYCE HICKS CAN REEL THIS BALL IN.

JUST A LITTLE HIGH FOR HIM.

HE ALMOST SNAGGED IT.

I'M SURE A LITTLE MORE POISE IN THE POCKET IF YOU'RE M.J.

MORRIS.

IT'S THERE.

EVERY ONCE IN TAI WHILE YOU MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE A LITTLE LICK AND END UP ON YOUR BACK SIDE TO DELIVER THE BALL AND BRING IT DOWN.

WE'VE SEEN BRYCE HICKS WITH THE BALL IN HIS HAND.

HE IS DANGEROUS IN SPACE.

>> THIRD DOWN AND 10.

WOW.

WHAT A CATCH BY LIPSCOMB.

TOUCHDOWN CARROLLTON.

WHAT A PASS, AND WHAT A CATCH.

MORRIS PUT IT RIGHT ON THE MONEY IN A TIGHT SPOT, WHERE ONLY HIS MAN COULD GET IT.

AND HIS MAN LIPSCOMB CAME UP WITH IT.

>> MORRIS AND LIPSCOMB, ALL THE CREDIT DUE TO THEM.

BIG-TIME CATCH BETWEEN TWO DEFENDERS.

GREAT THROW TO LEAD THE RECEIVER BY MORRIS.

AND EVEN BETTER PROTECTION RIGHT THERE.

A LONG ROUTE THERE TO GET THAT BALL OUT.

AND NO DISTRESS AT ALL FOR MORRIS TO DELIVER IT.

>> AND THE PAT IS NO GOOD.

SO THAT'S TWO PATs THEY MISSED HERE BACK TO BACK.

FORTUNATELY FOR CARROLLTON, DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT'S GOING TO COME INTO PLAY TONIGHT.

26-0.

RIGHT ON THE MONEY.

I MEAN, THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL PASS BY M.J.

MORRIS.

NC STATE FANS, THEY GOT TO BE HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY'RE SEEING FROM THAT GUY TONIGHT.

THREE TOUCHDOWN PASSES.

LET'S SEND IT OVER TO NIKKI PALMER TO TELL US WHAT'S COMING UP AT HALFTIME.

>> MATT, WAYNE, WE ARE GETTING READY FOR THE HALFTIME SHOW PRESENTED BY REGIONS BANK AT BACK IN THE GAME.

COMING UP, WE ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM JON, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE COACH JOEY KING'S HOMETOWN TEAM LOOKS GOOD.

SCORES FROM AROUND THE STATE.

THIS IS YOUR FRIENDLY REMINDER.

WHATEVER GAME YOU'RE AT, BE SURE TO TAG US WITH THAT HALFTIME SCORE.

ALSO, WE HAVE A VERY SPECIAL INTERVIEW OUT OF CARVER, COLUMBUS.

AND SHE CHECKED IN WITH THE TIDE'S NEWEST COMMIT.

IT'S COMING UP ON OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA HALFTIME SHOW.

MATT, WAYNE?

>> THE NUMBER NINE RATED OT IN THE COUNTRY.

WAYNE, I KNOW IT BREAKS YOUR HEART.

>> YOU'RE READING MY MIND, MATT.

>> THEY'RE GOING TO LET HIM RETURN.

I THOUGHT THE BALL CARRIED HIM INTO THE END ZONE.

I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE BALL BROKE THE PLANE.

THAT IT COMES OUT TO THE 20.

BUT APPARENTLY NOT.

AND THAT'S BAD NEWS FOR SOUTH PAULDING, AS THEY WILL START WITH VERY POOR FIELD POSITION.

THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IT DOWN AT THE 9 YARD LINE.

10, 9 YARD LINE?

>> AND I THINK BRENDAN GATES KIND OF PAUSED AND REALIZED NO WHISTLE WAS BLOWING AND TOOK OFF RUNNING.

>> SHOULD HAVE JUST TAKEN A KNEE.

HE FIELDED THE BALL IN FRONT OF THE GOAL LINE, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE MOMENTUM TOOK HIM BEHIND THE GOAL LINE, WHICH I THINK IN THAT CASE.

THE BALL'S AT THE 9.

LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY.

WEISMAN.

WATKINS WITH THE CATCH.

ALEX WATKINS.

UP CLOSE TO THE 20 YARD LINE.

AS WE GO UNDER 90 SECONDS TO PLAY HERE IN THE FIRST HALF.

>> WEISMAN AND HIS OFFENSE.

39 POINTS A GAME AVERAGE.

THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SCORE.

THEY DO HAVE THREE TIME-OUTS.

TRY TO GAIN SOME ENERGY GOING INTO THE HALF WITH A SUCCESSFUL DRIVE.

>> WE SAW COPELAND COME ON THE LINE.

>> Referee: ON THE DEFENSE, FIVE YARDS.

FIRST DOWN.

>> A LITTLE TOO AGGRESSIVE BY THE TROJAN DEFENSE.

BUT IF YOU ARE JOEY KING, YOU TAKE THAT KIND OF PLAY.

THAT'S HOW YOU PLAY THIS OFFENSE ALL NIGHT LONG.

YOU LET YOUR GUYS JUST PUT THEIR HANDS IN THE DIRT AND GO AFTER THE QUARTERBACK.

GO AFTER JAMARION WILCOX, AND IT'S BEEN SUCCESSFUL SO FAR.

>> JUST FELT THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK TO GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TO A GREAT PLACE LIKE CARROLLTON WAS TOO WONDERFUL OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO PASS UP.

GET HIS FAMILY BACK IN A SMALLER TOWN ENVIRONMENT, CLOSER ENVIRONMENT.

HIS KIDS CAN WALK ON THE SIDEWALK TO SCHOOL.

WEISMAN GOING TO GO DOWN, TACKLED FROM BEHIND, AND IF THE BALL CAME OUT, CARROLLTON SAYS THEY HAVE IT.

NO INDICATION FROM THE OFFICIALS THAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE DOWN BY CONTACT WITH THE GROUND.

IT'S GOING TO BE SECOND DOWN.

>> COPELAND AND BUTLER, BOTH COMING OFF THE EDGES.

WE TALKED ABOUT THE PRESSURE.

BUT THIS TROJAN DEFENSE HAS DECIDED IT THEY ARE GOING TO PLAY A LOT OF MAN TO MAN IN THESE SITUATIONS, BRING PRESSURE, AND THEY ARE WINNING, CONFUSING.

>> THE OPEN FIELD TACKLE MADE BY BRYCE HICKS.

THERE HE IS AGAIN.

NOW HE'S ON DEFENSE.

WHAT DOESN'T HE DO?

>> WHAT CONDITIONED HE AND CARMICHAEL ARE IN WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT TWO POSITIONS THAT ARE IN RUNNING.

IT'S NOT ONE WHERE YOU ARE PLAYING D LINE AND FULLBACK.

BOTH ARE PLAYING RUNNING BACK, RECEIVER, SAFETY, AND CORNER.

>> JOSIAH HARRIS WITH THE CATCH.

OUT OF BOUNDS BY HICKS WITH 36 SECONDS TO PLAY IN THE HALF.

HE'S GETTING STARTED IN THE WHOLE RECRUITING CYCLE.

HE'S A SOPHOMORE.

CLEMSON SHOWING INTEREST.

I'M GUESSING AFTER TONIGHT, THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE PROGRAMS SHOWING INTEREST IN BRYCE HICKS.

HE'S FLIP-FLOP TO THE BACK CORNER SPOT NOW.

THEY MOVE KELVIN HILL OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE.

WEISMAN GOT ALL DAY.

AIRS IT OUT AND INTERCEPTED AT THE 22 YARD LINE.

AND WAS THAT HICKS?

>> CARMICHAEL.

>> IT WAS CARMICHAEL, THE SAFETY.

AND TERRELL CARMICHAEL COMES UP WITH THE PICK.

HIS SECOND OF THE SEASON.

>> GOOD PROTECTION.

JUST DECIDING TO AIR THIS OUT.

AND YOU CAN SEE THERE INITIALLY 15.

HARRIS, KIND OF WAITING ON THE BALL.

AND AGAIN, CARMICHAEL GETTING BACK IN THE PLAY AND SHOWING YOU WHY HE'S SUCH A GREAT RECEIVER AS A SAFETY RIGHT THERE.

JUST KIND OF LIKE.

YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE BALL WAS COMING TO HIM HOW RELAXED HE WAS INTERCEPTING THAT BALL.

>> MORRIS CHASED.

GETS BY ELLERBEE.

AND USURY RUNS HIM OUT OF BOUNDS WITH 14 SECONDS LEFT IN THE HALF.

>> NICE JOB, SMART DECISION IN THIS SITUATION.

YOU'RE UP 26.

A COUPLE OF SECOND BEFORE HALF.

NO REASON TO RISK DOING ANYTHING.

IF IT'S NOT THERE, TRY TO MOVE, FINISH THIS HALF ON A POSITIVE NOTE.

M.J.

MORRIS AND HIS RECEIVING CORPS HAVE JUST BEEN LIGHTING IT UP.

>> THE THREE GUYS WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE OPEN, SMALL AND BIG.

FIRST HALVES.

MORRIS, CARMICHAEL, AND HICKS.

DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT THAT WAY.

THAT WAS LIPSCOMB.

WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT HIM IN THE OPEN.

WE COULD HAVE.

AND YOU HAVE SEEN WHY.

HE'S A SPECTACULAR WIDE RECEIVER IN HIS OWN RIGHT.

>> AND ANOTHER RECEIVER IN WILLIAMSON.

WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO HIM.

THIS IS A TALENTED.

AND YOU CAN SEE WITH THE KIND OF ABILITY M.J.

MORRIS, WHY THIS TEAM, THEY ARE ABOUT 75, 76% PASS AND YOU SEE WHY.

>> HE'S OVER 200 YARDS PASSING HERE IN THE FIRST HALF.

THEY FAKED THE REVERSE.

HICKS.

WILL BE DROPPED AT THE 36, AS TIME EXPIRES IN THE HALF.

WHAT A FIRST HALF BY CARROLLTON.

NOT JUST THEIR OFFENSE.

IN EVERY PHASE OF THE GAME.

OFFENSIVELY OBVIOUSLY THE 26.

DEFENSIVELY OBVIOUSLY WITH THE ZERO.

BUT ALSO ON SPECIAL TEAMS.

THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT TONIGHT.

>> OTHER THAN THE MISSTEP BY CARMICHAEL ON THAT EARLY PUNT, THEY HAVE JUST BEEN DOMINANT.

THEY HAVE CONFUSED KASEN WEISMAN ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE, AND THEY'VE LIVED UP TO BILLING WITH THE BIG PLAY.

VERY SELDOM YOU COME IN A GAME AND A TEAM HAS THRIVED ON A BIG PLAY THE WAY THAT CARROLLTON HAS, BUT TONIGHT THEY SHOW THAT YOU KIND OF TALENT.

>> AS YOU ASKED, MATT, SO SHALL YOU RECEIVE.

26 AT THE BREAK.

BUT I KNOW THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT HERE AT THE HALF.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

WE GOT TO PLAY A LITTLE BIT CLEANER AND A GAME LIKE THIS AGAINST AN OPPONENT LIKE THIS, THEY CAN COME BACK TO TO HURT YOU.

OFFENSIVELY, ONE THIRD DOWN AND DEFENSIVELY, WE'RE HOLDING, BUT WE GAVE UP AN EARLY THIRD DOWN.

>> AND I KNOW THAT'S YOUR LAUNDRY LIST.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME DEFENSIVELY, LET ME TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT.

A LOT OF TRUST IN ONE-ON-ONE RELATIONSHIPS AND MATCHUPS AND YOU'RE WINNING THEM SO FAR.

>> WE'RE PLAYING PRETTY GOOD UP FRONT.

THEY GOT TO KEEP THAT QUARTERBACK BOXED IN.

>> DEFINITELY KEEPING IN.

CONGRATS ON THE FIRST HALF.

SEE YOU IN THE SECOND HALF.

>> THANK YOU.

>> I GUESS THAT MEANS THE HALFTIME SHOW STARTS RIGHT NOW.

>> THANKS, NELLY.

WELCOME BACK, JOEY KING TO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

WE'VE GOT A LOT COMING UP IN.

HAVE SOME SCORES FROM AROUND THE STATE, AND A SPECIAL INTERVIEW WITH OUR HANNAH, AS SHE GOES ONE ON ONE WITH THE NEW TIE AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT ALL COMING UP.

STICK WITH US RIGHT HERE O >> HEY, EVERYONE.

WELCOME IN TO OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA HALFTIME SHOW, PRESENTED BY REGIONS.

GET BACK TO THE GAME WITH REGIONS BANK.

IT HAS BEEN ALL CARROLLTON.

THE HALFTIME SCORE RIGHT NOW IS 26-0.

QUITE A SHOWING FOR THE HOMECOMING CROWD AT GRISHAM STADIUM.

WE SAW A PRETTY 63-YARD RUN FROM AMARE HALL.

THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

BUT LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OTHER MATCHUPS AROUND THE STATE, THANKS TO GEORGIA'S EMC SCOREBOARD.

SO MUCH MORE THAN ELECTRICITY.

SO LET'S START FROM THE TOP WITH WARNER COUNTY.

28-21 AT THE HALFTIME.

WARNER ROBBINS IS THE FAVORITE.

STARTED IT OUT WITH A BIG LEAD.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT WEST LAKE 24-8.

WORD ON THE STREET THAT HE IS ON THE SIDELINES.

AND DOWN IN WANESBORO, THIS IS THE FINAL FROM YESTERDAY.

59-28.

AND DOWN IN COLUMBUS FOR LaGRANGE AND CARVER COLUMBUS.

30-7.

STAY WITH US CAUSE WE'VE GOT A BIG INTERVIEW COMING UP OUT OF THAT SCHOOL AS WELL.

AND REGION 87.

AND MILL CREEK IS ON THE BOARD.

AND THEN COMING OUT OF THE HOUSE OF PAIN, WASHINGTON COUNTY OVER NORTHEAST MACON 6-0.

AND THEN BATTLING IT OUT IN BLACK SHEER, WE ARE TIED UP AT THE HALF 7-7.

AND WE GO DOWN TO SAVANNAH FOR STRATFORD ACADEMY AND CALVARY DAY, HAVING A DAY OR A NIGHT, IF FULL.

AND WE'VE GOT TRINITY CHRISTIAN LEADING 14-0.

MORE SCORES COMING UP IN GEORGIA'S HALFTIME SHOW PRESENTED BY REGIONS BANK.

WE'LL HAVE THAT ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEW WITH OUR HANNAH GOODIN.

NELLY WILL JOIN US AND SO MUCH MORE.

STICK WITH US RIGHT HERE ON GPB.

>> FOR US TO WIN THE SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD IS A GREAT HONOR BECAUSE WE INSTILL CORE VALUES AND COMMITMENT.

AND THIS IS JUST A WAY TO HONOR OUR STUDENT BODY AND OUR COMMUNITY FOR KIND OF EMBRACING.

>> WE WORK SUPER HARD IN THE CLASSROOM AS WELL AS ON FIELD AND THE COURT.

SO IT'S REALLY COOL TO BE NOTICED FOR A STUDENT.

>> IT'S VERY NICE TO WIN SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

IT SHOWS THAT.

>> WELCOME BACK TO OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA HALFTIME SHOW PRESENTED BY REGIONS BANK.

WE'RE COMING TO YOU FROM GRISHAM STADIUM.

THEY ARE WINNING 26-0, BUT RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE ANNOUNCING THEIR HOMECOMING COURT.

THAT DOES ONE OF THE FESTIVITIES.

YOU DRESS UP AND YOU COME OUT TO THE GAME, AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF FUN.

CARROLLTON IS LEADING 26-0 AT THE HALF.

BUT IT HAS BEEN A FUN ONE TO WATCH.

AND ANOTHER ONE YOU ARE GOING TO BE WATCHING COULD BE OFFENSIVE SENIOR TACKLE ELIJAH PRITCHET.

AND OUR HANNAH GOODIN GOES ONE ON ONE ON WHY HE'S ROLLING WITH THE TIDE.

>> DURING YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT, YOU GOT YOUR SIZE 15 SHOES NOW WITH ALABAMA ACROSS THE BOTTOM.

WHAT ELSE WENT INTO YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT?

>> ABOUT THE SHOE, IT WAS JUST LIKE BASICALLY I WAS JUST LIKE THINKING OF SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO DO DIFFERENTLY THAN OTHER RECRUITS.

I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

>> YOU HAD IT NARROWED DOWN TO FOUR SCHOOLS.

ALABAMA, OBVIOUSLY, GEORGIA, FSU AND SOUTHERN CAL.

WHAT SET THE TIDE APART?

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS WHY.

ALABAMA STOOD OUT FOR ME.

MAINLY BECAUSE OVER THE PAST, I THINK YEAR OR TWO, I'VE REALLY BUILT STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH EVERYBODY FROM TEACHERS TO PLAYERS TO STUDENTS, COACHES.

IT'S JUST LIKE I LOVED IT SO FAR.

SO THAT'S MAINLY WHY I CHOSE ALABAMA OVER THE OTHER SCHOOLS.

>> GREAT STUFF, AS ALWAYS, HANNAH.

AND GREAT CHOICE, ELIJAH.

I'M NOT BIASED BY MY ALABAMA EDUCATION.

BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T CAUGHT OUR EMMY NOMINATED SHOW, WELL, YOU ARE MISSING OUT BECAUSE IT AIRS EVERY FRIDAY AT 7:00 P.M.

RIGHT HERE ON GPB.

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CHECK IT OUT AFTER OUR POSTGAME SHOW.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A POSTGAME SHOW WITH A LOT OF INTERVIEWS FROM COACHES COMING RIGHT OFF THE FIELD.

STICK WITH US RIGHT HERE ON GPB.

COMING UP NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE JOHN AND HIS FIRST HALF ANALYSIS OF THE GAME.

DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

>>> WELCOME BACK TO OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA HALFTIME SHOW PRESENTED BY REGIONS.

GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGIONS BANK.

AND THERE IS SOMEONE THAT WE ALL LOVE SO DEARLY.

WE WELCOME IN OUR FRIEND, OUR PAL, THE STORY TELLER JON NELSON.

IT'S BEEN ALL CARROLLTON FOR 24 MINUTES.

HOW HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL ALL FACETS OF THIS HALF?

>> I QUOTED DAVID BOWIE UNDER PRESSURE.

I ASKED BASICALLY JOEY KING HE'S PUTTING A LOT OF TRUST IN HIS ONE-ON-ONE MATCHUPS, ESPECIALLY ON THE RECEIVERS THAT WE'RE SEEING FOR SOUTH PAULDING, AND YOU ARE SEEING A LOCKDOWN CLINIC WHEN IT COMES TO DEFENSE, SENDING EIGHT GUYS AND YOU HAVE A QUARTERBACK WHO IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE PRESSURE IS COMING FROM AND IT IS A CHALLENGE AND IT HAS BEEN ALL NIGHT LONG.

>> YOU HAVE A NEW HEAD COACH IN SUMO WITH EVERYTHING THAT HE IS DEALING WITH IS A NULL APPOINTED HEAD COACH.

WHAT DO YOU TELL YOUR TEAM AT THE HALF?

WHERE DO YOU EVEN START, JON?

>> WHAT, ARE YOU LOOKING AT MY RUNDOWN OR SOMETHING?

THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK HIM HERE IN A LITTLE BIT.

OKAY, WHAT DID YOU TALK TO THEM AT THE HALF BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AFTER THAT ONE TURNOVER AND IT HAS BEEN ALL CARROLLTON.

I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT SUMO TOLD HIS GUYS AND I WANT TO SEE HOW THEY RESPOND COMING OUT OF THEIR POSSESSION OF THE THIRD QUARTER.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

JON, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GREAT GAMES GOING ON.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SCORES THAT YOU WANT TO UPDATE US WITH?

>> THERE IS ONE THAT I WANT TO ADD SOME CONTEXT TO AND IT'S ONE DOWN ON THE COAST AND IT'S THE STRATFORD GAME.

HE KIND OF BROKE DOWN HOW DOMINANT IT IS WITH A VERY YOUNG TEAM IN CALVARY DAY.

IT WAS 21-0.

THEY SCORED THREE MORE TIMES TO MAKE IT 42-0 IN THE SECOND.

YOU HAVE A VERY YOUNG TEAM, RANKED IN THE FIVE TIME AND THEY'RE REALLY MAKING A STATEMENT TODAY AGAINST ANOTHER TEAM IN THE TOP 10 WHEN IT COMES TO THE GPB RANKING.

DOMINANT TONIGHT DOWN ON THE COAST.

>> CALVARY DAY IS HAVING A NIGHT.

THANKS SO MUCH.

WE'LL HAVE SO MUCH MORE COMING UP RIGHT HERE ON GPB.

BE SURE TO FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

KEEP US UP TO DATE WITH THOSE GAMES THAT YOU'RE FOLLOWING AS WELL.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

>> AND WELCOME BACK.

IT IS HALFTIME HERE AT CARROLLTON.

EIGHTH RANKED TROJANS IN COMMAND.

26-0 THE LEAD.

WAYNE, HOW ABOUT THE CONVERSATION IN THE SPARTANS' LOCKER ROOM?

WHAT DID SUMO, ERIC ROBINSON, THE HEAD COACH FOR SOUTH PAULDING, TELL HIS GUYS TO TRY TO CORRECT THE MISTAKES AND GET THEM BACK IN THIS BALL GAME IN THE SECOND HALF?

>> PRIDE, EXECUTION AND ENERGY.

THOSE ARE THE THREE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE TO COME OUT THIS SECOND HALF AND TRY TO ESTABLISH.

PLAY WITH SOME PRIDE.

GET YOUR ENERGY LEVEL LINEUP, AND LET BY GONES BE BY GONES.

YOU CAN'T SULK OVER THAT FIRST HALF.

>> OKAY, WHO IS MOST IMPRESSIVE TO YOU, M.J.

MORRIS AS QUARTERBACK FOR CARROLLTON OR BRYCE HICKS, THE RUNNING BACK SLASH CORNERBACK?

>> TERRELL WAS DOMINANT BUT FROM THAT RUNNING BACK POSITION, SHOWING YOU HE'S A THREAT IN THE PASS GAME AND THEN THE LONG RUN.

A BRIGHT FUTURE, BUT M.J.

MORRIS LIVING UP TO BILLING.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIRST HALF HIGHLIGHTS.

ONE SCORE IN THAT FIRST QUARTER.

IT WAS THE 26-YARD SCREEN PASS FROM MORRIS.

THE FIRST TOUCHDOWN OF THE NIGHT FOR HICKS.

>> ONCE AGAIN, GETTING OUT IN OPEN FIELD AND JUST BAD TACKLING BY THE SPARTAN DEFENSE, LETTING HICKS PUT SEVEN ON THE BOARD.

>> THEN ON IN THE SECOND QUARTER, THE SLAM AND GO.

AMARE HALL TAKES IT 63 YARDS FOR THE SCORE.

>> IN STRIDE, HALL DOING THE WORK TO THE END ZONE.

>> THEN IT WAS BRYCE HICKS AGAIN, A 48-YARD RUN THROUGH THE DEFENSE?

>> FOUR PEOPLE MISSED ON THIS 3-YARD RUN, MAKING FOUR PEOPLE MISS.

>> LATE IN THE SECOND QUARTER, BEST PASS OF THE NIGHT.

MORRIS, A NEEDLE TO LIPSCOMB.

28 YARDS FOR THE SCORE, AND A 26-0 HALFTIME LEAD.

LET'S SEND IT TO NELLY.

HE'S STANDING BY WITH COACH ROBINSON.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WAYNE HAD IT 10-0 ABOUT PRIDE, EXECUTION AND ENERGY.

WAS WAYNE CLOSE IN WHAT YOU WERE TALKING TO THEM ABOUT AT THE HALF?

>> DEFINITELY.

HE HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD.

WE DIDN'T MATCH THEIR INTENSITY.

AND WE HAD A LITTLE PRIDE COMING IN THE SECOND HALF.

WE GOT TO DO THE LITTLE THINGS CORRECT.

WE GOT TO TACKLE.

RUN OUR FEET.

WE GOT TO KNOCK PEOPLE OFF THE BALL.

LITTLE STUFF IS BEATING US HERE AND WE NEED TO STAY BACK AND MAKE SURE WE KEEP EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF US.

SO THERE IS LITTLE THINGS RIGHT NOW.

FOUR BIG PLAYS IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW.

THEY ARE RUNNING THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD.

SO WE GOT TO DO OUR JOB AND COME OUT AND BEAT THEM.

>> THANKS TO OUR YOUR TIME, SUMO.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> WAYNE, YOU WERE RIGHT ON.

>> HE WAS.

WAYNE'S BEEN IN A NUMBER OF THOSE LOCKER ROOMS, I THINK.

HE'S HEARD THAT SPEECH BEFORE.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIRST HALF STATS.

AND AS COACH ROBINSON POINTED OUT, REALLY BIG PLAYS, TOTALING UP TO 317 YARDS WORTH OF BIG PLAYS FOR THE TROJANS IN THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS.

>> AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEIR PASSING YARDS RIGHT THERE BY R.J.

MORRIS AND BRYCE HICKS.

107 YARDS AS A RUNNING BACK.

MORE THAN THE SPARTANS AS A TEAM.

AND RIGHT NOW THEY JUST GOT TO COME OUT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, BIG PLAYS FOR TROJANS.

THOSE ARE ONES THAT THEY COUNT ON FOR THIS OFFENSE TO MOVE.

>> YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT THE OFFENSIVE LINE FOR SOUTH PAULDING.

AND THEY'VE JUST REALLY GOT TO DO A BETTER JOB OF PROTECTING WEISMAN IN THAT SECOND HALF.

NOW, IN THEIR DEFENSE, CARROLLTON DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OF DISGUISING DEFENSES, NOT SHOWING THE PRESSURE, BRINGING THE PRESSURE FROM UNEXPECTED PLACES, BUT THEY'VE GOT TO MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS.

>> AND COACH MONTGOMERY, THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, THAT'S WHAT HE CAME IN THIS GAME TO DO.

HE UNDERSTANDS THE KIND OF TALENT THAT KASEN WEISMAN HAS, THAT QUARTERBACK, AND IT'S BEEN A CHESS MATCH, BRINGING PRESSURE OFF THE EDGE, CONFUSING HIM.

RIGHT NOW HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO WITH THE BALL, AND THAT COUNTS ON HIS WHOLE LINE TO GET THE RUN GAME GOING, TO TAKE A LITTLE PRESSURE OFF HIM AT THAT QB SPOT.

>> WELL, CARROLLTON IN A MUST-WIN SITUATION AFTER THAT LOSS TO ROME LAST WEEK, HAS RESPONDED VERY WELL HERE IN THE FIRST HALF AGAINST SOUTH PAULDING, WITH A 26-0 LEAD.

A VICTORY HERE WOULD LEAVE DOUGLASS COUNTY THE ONLY UNBEATEN TEAM LEFT IN THE COUNTY RIGHT NOW.

>> CAN JAMARION GET THIS GAME GOING?

12 CARRIES, 35 YARDS.

24 ON ONE OF THOSE CARRIES.

>> SECOND HALF KICKOFF IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BRUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.

BUCKLE UP GEORGIA, SEATBELT SAVES LIVES.

THIRD QUARTER IS UNDER WAY.

THE BALL IS BROUGHT OUT TO THE 15 YARD LINE.

SO FIRST IN 10 FOR SOUTH PAULDING, AS KASEN WEISMAN BRINGS HIS GUYS BACK OUT.

JUST 7 OF 17 FOR 57 YARDS AND AN INTERCEPTION IN THAT FIRST HALF.

>> HAD A FRUSTRATING FIRST HALF.

IF YOU'RE WEISMAN, COME OUT AND SHOW SOME PATIENCE.

AND AS AN OFFENSE, KIND OF PUT A DRIVE TOGETHER TO START GETTING SOME GOODS GOING ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TONIGHT IN THIS GAME.

>> SO FIRST AND 10 FROM THE 15 YARD LINE.

LET'S SEE IF THE SPARTANS HAVE A BIG COMEBACK IN THEM.

WEISMAN, FLUSHED OUT OF THE POCKET, WILL PICK UP THREE AS HE STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS.

>> AND FROM THE BEGINNING OF HIS PLAY, YOU COULD JUST SEE SOME CONFUSION IN THE LINEUP, NOT SURE THE RECEIVERS AND THE QUARTERBACK, WHERE TO LINE UP.

IT'S NOT A GOOD LOOK TO START THIS SECOND HALF.

>> SECOND DOWN AND 7.

>> WILCOX.

TACKLED HIM AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND DRIVE HIM BACK.

>> IF YOU WERE THE LINE OF THE WEEK, YOU PLAY WITH A LOT OF PRIDE, AND WE'VE SEEN SEVERAL TIMES IN THESE SITUATIONS BY THIS TROJAN DEFENSE.

THAT'S THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

THE TIGHT END'S RESPONSIBILITY.

TO PULL THOSE GUYS.

EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T WIN ON THAT PLAY, YOU CAN'T LET THEM WIN.

>> 5'10", 275, SOPHOMORE.

MORRIS WILL BE THE EXCEPTION.

INTERCEPTED.

THAT'S GOING TO BE A TOUCHDOWN CARROLLTON, AND BRODIE BRADBURN.

>> THE DEFENSE HAS SHINED ALL NIGHT LONG, DROPPING BACK, NICE READING OF THE BACK'S EYES.

WATCH WEISMAN'S EYES RIGHT THERE STEP IN FRONT OF THAT ROUTE.

NICE JOB, AS AN INSIDE LINEBACKER, CATCHING THAT BALL.

NOT KNOWN FOR THEIR HANDS RIGHT THERE.

NICE JOB BY BRADBURN, READING THE EYES OF THE QUARTERBACK, DROPPING INTO THAT PASS LANE.

>> SECOND INTERCEPTION OF THE NIGHT.

THE PAT IS GOOD.

YOU HEARD JOEY KING TALK ABOUT HOW THEY NEEDED TO CLEAN UP THEIR PAT GAME IN THE SECOND HALF.

WELL, FIRST ONE'S UP AND GOOD.

A ROUGH NIGHT FOR THE SPARTANS.

TROJANS LAYING IT ON.

>> IT'S ALREADY 3-0 CARROLLTON.

BIG LEAD EARLY THIRD QUARTER.

SCAN THIS CODE RIGHT NOW WITH YOUR PHONE'S CAMERA TO DOWNLOAD OUR FREE APP TO GET SCORES FROM EVERY GAME AROUND THE STATE.

GET THE LATEST TEAM RANKINGS, SCHEDULES, AND A WHOLE LOT MORE.

BRODEIE -- BRODIE BRADBURN.

>> THE TROJAN DEFENSE CAME IN THE GAME WITH THREE INTERCEPTIONS, ALREADY TWO TONIGHT AS A TEAM.

GREAT JOB THERE BY BRODIE BRADBURN.

>> SO SOUTH PAULDING BACK IN KICKOFF RECEIVING FORMATION AND LETS THIS ONE GO OVER THEIR HEAD TO THE END ZONE.

SO THEY'LL BRING IT OUT TO THE 20 YARD LINE.

AND SO YOU REALLY HAVE GOTTEN INTO THAT PLACE NOW WHERE ALL THOSE THINGS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT -- PRIDE, ALL THAT HARD WORK YOU PUT IN THIS PRACTICE EVERY WEEK, AND YOU GOT TO IMPLEMENT ALL THAT STUFF NOW.

YOU GO THE TO DIG DOWN DEEP TO KEEP FROM LETTING THIS THING GET WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS.

>> YOU CAN SEE HOW THEY TAKE THE FIELD RIGHT NOW.

>> BAD BODY LANGUAGE.

>> BAD BODY LANGUAGE.

WALKING ON TO THE FIELD.

EACH AND EVERY PLAYER.

>> WILCOX GOT THREE ON THAT PLAY.

>> YOU CAN'T RAVE ENOUGH.

SO FAR THIS THIS GAME, NOT SURE HOW IT WOULD TURN OUT WITH JAMARION WILCOX AND HIS TALENT.

BUT SO FAR IN THIS GAME YOU HAVE TO TIP YOUR HAT TO THE CARROLLTON DEFENSE THE WAY THEY HAVE SMOTHERED HIM AND TAKEN HIM COMPLETELY OUT OF THE GAME.

ONE LONG 23, 24-YARD RUN.

>> YEP.

SECOND DOWN AND SEVEN.

14 CARRIES.

37 YARDS FOR WILCOX TONIGHT.

AND WEISMAN TAKES A SACK.

MICHAEL BRADEN WITH HIS SECOND QUARTERBACK SACK OF THE NIGHT.

>> THIS SPARTAN OFFENSE.

YOU TALK ABOUT PRIDE AND ENERGY.

RIGHT HERE.

COMING ON THE STUN.

UNDERNEATH IS BRANDEN, NUMBER 33.

NOT ABLE TO PICK HIM UP IS KAI KELLER, THE LEFT GUARD.

>> THIRD AND 15 AFTER THE SACK BY BRADEN.

AND FOLKS, THIS IS NOT THE WAY CARROLLTON LOOKED LAST WEEK AGAINST ROME.

COACH JOEY KING SAID WE WERE AWFUL AGAINST ROME, FALLING BEHIND BIG TO A 35-27 LOSS, AS WEISMAN SAILS IT OVER THE HEAD OF JOSIAH HARRIS, AND IT'S FOURTH DOWN.

>> AND THAT'S THE KIND OF PASS WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT FRUSTRATION.

HE LOOKS A LITTLE CONFUSED, AND WE'VE SEEN AT TIMES JUST LIKE IN THAT LAST PASS, WHERE IT SEEMS LIKE HE JUST WANTS THE BALL OUT OF HIS HANDS.

AND COACH ROBINSON, YOU HAVE TO START THINKING YOU WANT TO SEE WEISMAN FINISH THIS GAME WITH A LITTLE ENERGY.

BUT YOU GOT TO START THINKING MAYBE GOING WITH A DIFFERENT QUARTERBACK WITH SOME ENERGY.

>> ANDRES, LOW KICK.

BOUNCES ACROSS THE 50 AND ROLLS DEAD AT THE 44.

AND THAT'S WHERE CARROLLTON WILL GO BACK ON OFFENSE FOLLOWING A 41-YARD KICK BY JACK ANDRES.

HE'S HAD A PRETTY GOOD NIGHT, BUT THAT'S ALWAYS A BAD SIGN WHEN THE PUNTER'S HAVING A GOOD NIGHT.

YOU WANT THE PUNTER TO HAVE A GOOD NIGHT BUT NOTING ARE TO PUNT.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT THE OFFENSIVE LINE, AND THIS GAME TONIGHT, THIS LINE AT CARROLLTON HAS SHUFFLED AROUND.

IT'S BEEN THE SAME FIVE, SIX GUYS, BUT THEY'VE KIND OF SWITCHED AROUND.

FOR THEIR QUARTERBACK, IT'S BEEN SUPERB UP FRONT.

>> NUMBER 63 JAMARI MASON, THE CENTER.

HICKS GETS A COUPLE OF YARDS ON THE PLAY.

YOU SEE 63 JAMARI MASON RIGHT THERE.

HE'S RECEIVING INTEREST FROM BARRY.

6 FOOT, 273.

BUT JOEY KING SAYS HE'S A REAL TECHNICIAN.

HE CAN PLAY ANY OF THE OFFENSIVE LINE SPOTS.

SWING IT OUT HERE TO HICKS.

RUNS BY A MAN, AND HICKS ALL THE WAY DOWN INSIDE THE 25 YARD LINE.

>> IF YOU'RE WATCHING AT HOME, BRYCE HICKS IS RUNNING WITH A SWAGGER.

THAT IF HE GETS ON HIS FACE, LIKE HE'S GOING TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN.

DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THIS SPARTAN DEFENSE CAN TACKLE HIM.

HE HAS BEEN VERY IMPRESSIVE AS AS A SOPHOMORE, AND WE TALKED ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS HE IS CATCHING THE BALL.

>> MORRIS TAKES IT DOWN INSIDE THE 5.

>> NICE RECOGNITION OF MORRIS RIGHT THERE.

SOUTH PAULDING DROPPING EIGHT.

ONLY A THREEMAN RUSH.

IT'S A QUARTERBACK DRAW ALL THE WAY, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SOFT COVERAGE.

>> PLAY GETS BLOWN DEAD.

>> Referee: FIVE-YARD PENALTY.

>> JOEY KING BEING AGGRESSIVE.

YOU THINK YOU JUST START HE'S IN ATTACK MODE.

HURRY UP, LET'S GET TO THE BALL AND PUT SOME MORE POINTS ON THE BOARD.

>> THIS IS JUST THE SECOND SEASON THAT HE'S COACHED HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL AS A HEAD COACH WITHOUT TREVOR LAWRENCE AS HIS QUARTERBACK.

HIS FINAL SEASON AT CARTERSVILLE.

NOW THIS ONE HERE AT CARROLLTON.

OF COURSE, HE'S GOT A PRETTY GOOD ONE HERE IN M.J.

MORRIS AS WELL.

DUMPS IT OFF TO HICKS.

AND I WAS GETTING READY TO SAY IF HICKS GETS INTO THE END ZONE WITH THREE GUYS IN FRONT OF HIM?

BUT BRYCE HICKS.

I'M SEEING MAKE THAT KID AN OFFER, GUY, FOR RECRUITING 2021 SHOW.

NO OFFERS YET.

MY GUESS IS BY THIS TIME NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT, SOMEBODY'S GOING TO HAVE OFFERED HIM BY THEN.

>> A SOPHOMORE, STARTING TAILBACK AND STARTING CORNER.

SO YOU IMAGINE HIS FUTURE IS GOING TO START BECOMING ABOUT WHAT POSITION HE WANTS TO PLAY.

>> HE PROBABLY NEEDS TO GROW A LITTLE BIT MORE TO BE THE CORNER.

BUT HE'S FINE AS A RUNNING BACK AND STOPPED INSIDE THE 1 YARD LINE.

SO WE'LL HAVE A PENALTY ON, YOU HEARD, 18 BLACK.

THAT'S ACE WILLIAMSON.

>> Referee: 18.

AFTER THE PLAY.

UNSPORTSMAN LIKE ON THE OFFENSE.

15-YARD PENALTY.

THIRD DOWN.

>> SO INSTEAD OF THIRD AND GOAL FROM THE ONE.

IT'S NOW GOING TO BE THIRD AND GOAL FROM THE 16.

>> AND WE'VE BEEN WAITING ON BUT NOT FOR A PLAY LIKE THAT.

>> HE DIDN'T WANT THAT.

>> BECAUSE HE IS A TOP-NOTCH TALENT FOR THIS TEAM.

HE MAKES HIS TEAM AT THE RECEIVING POSITION DEEP, AND THEY ARE GOOD AND 6'1", 180, YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE PLAYS LIKE THAT, REGARDLESS OF THE SCORE.

>> MORRIS IN THE END ZONE, GOT A MAN THERE, BUT COULDN'T CONNECT.

LIPSCOMB AND NOW IT'S FOURTH DOWN.

CARROLLTON HAS NOT KICKED A FIELD GOAL THIS YEAR.

LET'S SEE IF THEY TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TRY THAT OUT A LITTLE BIT.

TYPICALLY WHEN YOU GET A BIG LEAD LIKE THAT, YOU GET TO WORK ON SOME THINGS AND KICKING A FIELD GOAL IS ONE THOSE FOR CARROLLTON SO FAR THIS SEASON.

>> GREAT TIME OF 33 AND YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT, MATT.

AT SOME POINT YOU GOT TO START WORKING THE OPERATION REGARDLESS OF HOW BIG YOUR KICKER'S LEG IS.

IT'S ALL ABOUT OPERATION A LOT OF TIMES.

THERE AND AND SO THIS IS PRESTON GENTRY, THE PUNTER, WHO IS GOING TO TAKE THE FIRST FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT.

THE 33-YARDER.

>> ON THE DEFENSE, FIVE YARDS.

>> SO NOW IT'S GOING TO BE A 28-YARD ATTEMPT.

>> TERRELL CARMICHAEL.

MAYBE HE DOESN'T MAKE GATORADE OR SOMETHING.

I DON'T KNOW.

HE SEEMS AS A PLAYER, HE'S INTERCEPTING BALLS, CATCHING TOUCHDOWNS, MAKING PEOPLE MISS, AND NOW HE'S HOLDING.

>> AND NO GOOD.

SO CARROLLTON'S GOT NOT A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS TO WORK ON TONIGHT.

BUT THE KICKING GAME MAY BE ONE OF THEM.

33-0 WITH UNDER 7 TO PLAY IN THE THIRD.

>> WELCOME BACK TO GRISHAM STADIUM.

IT HAS BEEN ALL CARROLLTON TONIGHT HERE IN CARROLLTON.

ALSO IN THE REGION, JUST TO GIVE YOU A BIT OF AN UPDATE, MATT AND WAYNE.

42-0.

HERE IS A THOUGHT AS TO WHY JOEY KINGS, GUYS, MAY BE STILL ON OFFENSE.

IF YOU'RE TALKING TIEBREAKERS WHEN YOU'RE IN A MUST-WIN SITUATION FOR THE REMAINDER OF PLAY, YOU'RE TALKING MATT.

LE AND IF YOU CAN PUT UP A BIG NUMBER ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS, MATH CAN DEFINITELY HELP YOU OUT.

>> NO QUESTION.

I'M ALWAYS OF THE MIND THAT HEY, EVERYBODY PRACTICES EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.

THE OTHER TEAM'S JOB TO STOP YOU.

>> YEAH, I MEAN, THIS IS A SOUTH PAULDING TEAM TO BEAT ROME 34-32 TWO WEEKS AGO.

>> AND THIS TEAM OF CARROLLTON, THEY'RE NOT DOING IT ANY KIND OF EMBARRASSING WAY.

THEY'RE GOING OUT AND PLAYING FOOTBALL.

THEY'RE NOT SHOW BOATING.

>> NO.

THEY'RE JUST PLAYING.

>> IF YOU'RE SOUTH PAULDING, THOUGH, YOU'RE HAVING A GREAT SEASON UNDER SUMO ROBINSON, WHO TOOK OVER FOR JOHN NASH AND YOU'D LIKE TO BE A TEAM THAT BOUNCES BACK AND START SHOWING SOME PROMISE HERE ON OFFENSE.

>> WEISMAN.

TRYING TO CONNECT AGAIN WITH HADEN JOHNSON JACKSON -- PARDON ME.

HAYDEN JACKSON.

>> TAVON GETS PRESSURE OFF THE EDGE.

AND RIGHT THERE TIGHT COVERAGE.

AND YOU SEE AT THE BEGINNING OF THAT PLAY, THIS TROJAN DEFENSE MOVING PEOPLE AROUND.

THEY ARE STILL IN THE MODE OF CONFUSING KASEN WEISMAN.

HE'S NOT STEPPING INTO THE THROW, KIND OF JUST GETTING THE BALL OUT OF HIS HAND, AND A LOT OF HIS BALLS ARE NOT MAKING IT THERE.

>> 57 YARDS PASSING TONIGHT.

THIRD AND 6.

NICE CATCH AND RUN.

THAT WAS KELVIN HILL WITH THE UPENDING TACKLE.

THAT WAS TA'VON WRIGHT, THE RUNNING BACK.

>> A LITTLE SWING OUT TO RIGHT.

GET HIM OUTSIDE.

CAN'T GET THE RUN GAME GOING.

A LOT OF TEAMS START HITTING OUT IN THE FLAT JUST TO GET SOME MOMENTUM.

NICE JOB OF HIM CATCHING AND GETTING UP FIELD.

>> WILCOX MAY BE ONE YARD ON THE PLAY.

YOU CEDARION WILLIAMS IN THERE ON THE SURGE.

>> A NIGHT OF PENETRATION TONIGHT.

NUMBER NINE.

YOU HAVE SEEN HIM UP FIELD, GETTING OFF BLOCKS.

DOING A NICE JOB AS A SENIOR, STOPPING THE PLAY BEFORE IT GETS GOING.

GOOD AND THREE TACKLES, TWO OF THEM FOR LOSS IN THIS GAME.

DERION WILLIAMS.

>> YOU GOT TO READ THE PRESSURE TO DELIVER THE BALL.

>> AND THE QUARTERBACK SACK.

MYLES BUTLER.

>> WE'VE SEEN THIS ALL NIGHT LONG FROM BUTLER, AND BRADBURN JUST COMING OFF THE EDGE.

A LITTLE CONFUSION AGAIN BY WEISMAN.

NOT SURE.

A STEP UP AND RUN OR THROW THE BALL.

GETTING OFF THE BLOCK THERE IS MYLES BUTLER.

LINEBACKER SLASH SAFETY SLASH CORNER.

HE'S A UTILITY GUY.

>> THIRD DOWN.

>> YOU SEE THE PRESSURE INCHING TOWARDS THE LINE.

KIND OF CONFUSED THE QUARTERBACK.

NOW DROPPING EIGHT AGAIN.

>> UP IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT AT THE 50 YARD LINE, AND A FIRST DOWN FOR SOUTH PAULDING.

RYAN DIETZ WITH THE CATCH AND RUN.

>> THIS TIME IT TURNED OUT GREAT FOR KASEN WEISMAN, BUYING A LITTLE TIME.

ONLY A THREE-MAN RUSH.

YOU CAN SEE HIS EYES NOT SURE WHERE TO GO.

A LITTLE JUMP THROW TO GET IT OUT THERE JUST ENOUGH TO RYAN DIETZ.

>> YEP.

36-YARD COMPLETION.

DIDN'T PANIC THAT TIME.

KEPT THE PLAY ALIVE WITH HIS LEGS, AND THEN FOUND DIETZ FOR THE RECEPTION.

>> AND JAMARION WILCOX.

>> WEISMAN BEING CHASED.

GOING TO RUN IT DOWN INSIDE THE 30, CLOSE TO THE TA.

-- 25.

GOOD JOB BY THAT YOUNG MAN RIGHT THERE.

>> SOMETIMES IT TAKES A COUPLE OF THOSE KINDS OF PLAYS TO GET THE ENERGY LEVEL BACK GOING.

ONCE AGAIN, A LITTLE ROLLOUT.

NICE JOB OF THE TROJANS TAKING THE BACK AWAY FROM WEISMAN.

AND HE JUST HAS TO MAKE SOMETHING UP.

NICE JOB GETTING OUT THE POCKET AND SAVING HIMSELF SOME HITS BY GETTING OUT OF BOUNDS.

>> SECOND DOWN AND 4.

SOUTH PAULDING TRYING TO GET IT IN THE END ZONE.

WILCOX RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE.

BOWLS HIS WAY DOWN INSIDE THE 20 YARD LINE.

LIKE WHAT WE'VE SEEN FROM JAMARION WILCOX HERE TONIGHT.

IT'S BEEN A TOUGH NIGHT FOR HIM, BUT HE HAS RUN HARD.

NOBODY HAS HAD MORE HELMETS PUT ON HIM THAN JAMARION WILCOX TONIGHT.

>> HAVING TO NEGOTIATE THE PENETRATION TO GET UP FIELD.

ONCE AGAIN, EDGE PRESSURE COMING.

>> GETS IT AGAIN.

BOUNCES OUTSIDE.

GREAT VISION TO FIND THE HOLE.

DOWN CLOSE TO THE 10.

>> GOOD PATIENCE THERE, TOO, BY WILCOX, FOLLOWING THE GALLOPERS.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE COMING, NICE JUMP STEP TO GET OUTSIDE.

>> HE'S GOT A LOT OF TALENT.

SECOND DOWN.

WRIGHT NOW IN THE GAME.

HE BARRELS HIS WAY DOWN TO THE 7.

NOT A YARD SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN.

>> WRIGHT.

YOU'VE SEEN HIM IN THE PAST GAME RIGHT THERE GETTING THE SHOULDERS SQUARE, RUNNING HARD BETWEEN THE TACKLES.

GOOD DRIVE GOING HERE.

SOUTH PAULDING.

>> 11th PLAY OF THE DRIVE.

QUARTERBACK KEEPER.

HE DIDN'T GET IT, I DON'T THINK.

IF THE YELLOW LINE IS CORRECT, HE'S SHORT.

>> PENETRATION, STOUTING THE MIDDLE THERE BY JOHNSON.

IN THE MIDDLE YOU CAN SEE WEISMAN HAVING TO BOUNCE THAT TWO HOLES AND IN THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE YOU ARE TRYING TO GET TWO YARDS, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE DONE BY THE QUARTERBACK WITH THAT KIND OF PENETRATION.

>> WILCOX.

THEY FAKE THE HANDOFF TO HIM.

LOB IT INTO THE END ZONE.

TOUCHDOWN.

SOUTH PAULDING.

THEY FINALLY BREAK THROUGH ON THE TOUCHDOWN PASS.

SOPHOMORE TIGHT END FOR EIGHT YARDS.

>> SETTING UP THE STOP AND RUN IS CARROLLTON AND HIS DEFENSE.

NICE PLAY ACTION FAKE.

GET THE BALL OUT YOUR HAND.

NICE CONCENTRATION THERE BY THE TIGHT END TO REEL THAT IN.

>> ALONG FOR THE PAT.

AND IT IS UP AND IN.

33-7.

SPARTANS FINALLY BREAK THROUGH.

12 PLAYS, 80 YARDS.

>> JET ACTION FAKE.

SELL OUT TO STOP THE RUN.

CATCHING THE DEFENSE.

NICE JOB OF KEEPING HIS COMPOSURE AND DELIVERING THE BALL TO THE TIGHT END THERE IS WEISMAN.

NICE EXECUTION OF THE PLAY.

>> YEP.

LET'S CHECK IN WITH NELLY.

>> ROME'S LEAD IS NOW UP TO 49-0 HERE IN REGION.

ONCE AGAIN, THE CONTEXT OF ALL OF THESE MUST-WIN GAMES, KEEP AN EYE ON THAT ONE.

RIVERWOOD BEATING RIVER RIDGE IN ONE OF THE TOP RUNNINGBACKS IN THE STATE RIGHT NOW.

IT'S 30-6.

ALSO WARNER ROBINSON ALSO GETTING SOME FINALS OVER HAWKINSVILLE.

IRWIN COUNTY IN A BIT OF A FIGHT 35-20 IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

>> THANK YOU, NELLY.

33-7.

THAT AT LEAST FOR THE MOMENT, TAKES US OUT OF THE RUNNING CLOCK IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

NO RETURN ON THIS KICK.

AND A TOUGH NIGHT FOR THE SPARTANS, BUT FINALLY SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT HERE LATE IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

>> EXECUTING THE DRIVE, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, WHEN THEY GOT THE BALL.

JUST TAKE THE BALL, SHOW SOME PATIENCE, AND PUT SOME PLAYS TOGETHER.

AND THEY FINALLY GOT IN THE END ZONE.

>> YOU'RE RIGHT, WAYNE.

IT WAS A 12-PLAY, 80-YARD DRIVE.

>> THAT OLD-FASHIONED FOOTBALL TO TAKE THE BALL AND DRIVE IT AND SOMETIMES THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED WHEN YOU'RE NOT HAVING ANY RHYTHM.

STOP TRYING TO WIN THE GAME WITH ONE PLAY.

>> I THINK YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD RIGHT THERE.

THEY GOT INTO A PATTERN WHERE THEIR EVERY PASS PLAY WAS YOU AGREE ROUTE.

THEN THEY GOT AWAY FROM THAT AND THEY FINALLY EXECUTED A NICE LITTLE DRIVE.

AMARE HALL WITH A SHORT CATCH THROW THERE BY MORRIS.

AND ONCE THEY GOT AWAY FROM THAT MENTALITY OF EVERY PLAY IS GOING TO BE YOU AGREE ROUTE, PUT TOGETHER A DRIVE.

IT DID EAT UP A LOT OF TIME OFF THE CLOCK, BUT IT GOT THEM IN THE END ZONE.

>> IF YOU'RE SPARTANS DEFENSE, YOU PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND START TACKLING.

THAT'S PROBABLY YOUR BIGGEST MISCUE.

PEOPLE ARE THERE.

THEY JUST HAVEN'T BEEN TACKLING WELL AT ALL.

>> UNDER A MINUTE PLAY HERE IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

AND A QUARTERBACK SACK.

THAT'S NICK ELM COMING OFF THE EDGE AND DROPPING MORRIS FOR THE SACK.

>> THIS IS ALL ABOUT EFFORT AND ELMS TO THE LEFT TACKLE.

NICE JOB SLAPPING THE HANDS AWAY.

DIPPING THAT SHOULDER.

FIRST TIME TONIGHT WE'VE SEEN PRESSURE ON M.J.

MORRIS OF ANY KIND.

>> YEAH.

THIRD SACK OF THE SEASON FOR NICK ELM, A YOUNG MAN WHO TRANSFERRED IN FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

TIME WINDING DOWN HERE IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

MORRIS PRESSURED.

ANOTHER QUARTERBACK SACK.

BACK AT THE 7 YARD LINE.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

THIS SOUTH PAULDING TEAM COMING TO LIFE LATE IN THIS THIRD QUARTER.

SO IT'S BEEN PRETTY MUCH ALL CARROLLTON UNTIL LATELY.

DOES SOUTH PAULDING HAVE A COMEBACK IN THEM?

AS WE HEAD TO THE FOURTH?

>> CARROLLTON LEADING SOUTH PAULDING 33-7.

BUT AS WE STEP INTO THE FINAL 12 MINUTES, WE'VE SEEN SOME ENTHUSIASM AND ENERGY COMING FROM THIS SPARTANS TEAM, AS WE HEAD INTO THE FINAL QUARTER.

MATT STEWART, ALONG WITH WILSON.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

DOES SOUTH PAULDING HAVE A COMEBACK IN THEM?

SCORING THAT TOUCHDOWN KEEPS THEM OUT OF A RUNNING CLOCK SITUATION.

WOULD BE VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO COME BACK WITH A RUNNING CLOCK AND AS IT IS, IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT.

BUT THEY'RE GOING TO START INSIDE THE 40 YARD LINE WITH THEIR FIRST POSSESSION OF THE FOURTH QUARTER.

NOW I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE LAST SACK OF THAT THIRD QUARTER, THE SOUTH PAULDING DEFENSE HAD BACK-TO-BACK SACKS, AND THIS IS JAMARION WILCOX PLAYING DEFENSE, GETTING THE SACK.

>> ONLY THREE-MAN RUSH, AND YOU CAN SEE WILCOX.

THAT'S NOT HIS INITIAL READ.

BUT ONCE HE SEES THE BACK IS BLOCKING, HE TAKES OFF, AND WE KNOW WHAT KIND OF ATHLETE HE IS ON OFFENSE RUNNING THE BALL.

NICE JOB OF HIM BRINGING DOWN THE TALENT M.J.

MORRIS.

>> SO THEY SPOT THE BALL ON THE 39 YARD LINE.

AND I KNOW YOUR GUT REACTION RIGHT HERE IS TAKE A SHOT AT THE END ZONE.

LET'S SEE IF THEY DO THAT OR GO BACK TO WHAT WAS WORKING ON THE PREVIOUS HANDOFF?

AS TA'VON WRIGHT STUMBLED BEFORE HE COULD GET BACK TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

>> MAYBE TWISTED HIS ANKLE WHEN HE GOT THAT FALL.

HE'S LIMPING JUST A LITTLE JINGERLY.

>> HE STAYS IN THE GAME.

>> EXECUTION WAS THE KEY IN THAT LAST DRIVE TO GET IN THE END ZONE OF THE SPARTANS.

WEISMAN.

>> THAT'S A VERY DANGEROUS PLAY.

THAT'S AN INCOMPLETE PASS.

>> AND WE SAW THIS A LOT IN THAT FIRST HALF.

AND WE HAVE A FLAG ON THE PLAY.

>> AND THEY'RE GOING TO CALL THAT INTENTIONAL GROUNDING.

>> Referee: FIVE YARDS.

LOSS OF DOWN.

THIRD DOWN.

>> WATCHING KASEN WEISMAN ON THIS PLAY, HE'S UNDER STRESS, TRYING TO GET OUT THE POCKET.

IN HIS MIND, HE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT HE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE POCKET.

HE DID GET THE BALL BACK TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

NOT REALLY SURE WHY HE DECIDED TO TAKE OFF.

HE REALLY WASN'T UNDER ANY PRESSURE.

BUT AT THE END, JUST THINKING HE WAS OUTSIDE THE POCKET AND THREW THE BALL AWAY.

>> THEY DON'T HAVE REPLAY IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL, BUT THEY'D FIND HE WAS ALREADY DOWN WHEN HE LET GO OF THE BALL.

EITHER WAY, YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE YARDAGE, AND IT'S GOING TO BE THIRD DOWN NOW.

GOING DEEP INTO TRIPLE COVERAGE, AND INTERCEPTED BY HICKS INSIDE THE 10 YARD LINE.

KELVIN HILL, PARDON ME.

KELVIN HILL WITH THE INTERCEPTION INSIDE THE 10 YARD LINE.

>> AND WE TALK ABOUT THIS DEFENSE.

IT CAME IN THE GAME WITH ONLY THREE INTERCEPTIONS TONIGHT.

AND THE BEAUTY OF ALL THESE INTERCEPTIONS, KELVIN HILL RIGHT HERE COMES INTO THE PLAY LATE, SIMILAR TO TERRELL CARMICHAEL EARLIER.

THEY ARE VERY GOOD WITH THE BALL IN THE AIR.

THEY'RE CATCHING THE BALL ON DEFENSE, AS SECONDARY AS THOUGH THEY ARE RECEIVERS.

>> MAN DOWN ON THE FIELD.

WE'LL STEP ASIDE, AS THEY TEND TO HIM.

BALL BACK AFTER THEIR THIRD INTERCEPTION OF THE NIGHT.

THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE THE SOUTH PAULDING PLAYER OVER TO THE 10.

LOOKS LIKE IT'S POSSIBLE.

LOWER LEG INJURY FOR HAYDEN JACKSON.

HANDOFF GOES TO HICKS.

HICKS IS DYNAMIC.

AND A FLAG OUT AT THE END OF THE PLAY.

MIGHT HAVE HAD SOME CONTACT WITH HICKS AFTER HE WAS OUT OF BOUNDS.

32-YARD RUN.

HE'S OVER 200 YARDS OF OFFENSE FOR THE GAME.

>> NICE FAKE COMING OFF THAT RIGHT.

>> Referee: AFTER THE PLAY.

PERSONAL FOUL ON THE DEFENSE.

15-YARD PENALTY.

FIRST DOWN.

>> THE THING YOU LOVE ABOUT BRYCE HICKS IF YOU'RE A TROJAN FAN, HE'S COMFORTABLE OUT IN SPACE.

HE HAS GREAT VISION, AND HE HAS COMPLETE CONFIDENCE IN HIS SPEED.

>> YEAH.

>> HE'S WAITING.

AS YOU SEE HIM COMING DOWN THE SIDELINE, HE'S WAITING FOR A CUT AND IT TURN IT INTO A FOOT RACE.

HE'S KIND OF ALMOST PACING HIMSELF KNOWING HE HAD DEFENDERS IN FRONT OF HIM WAITING ON THAT CUTBACK TO SHOW YOU THAT SPEED.

>> HE'S PUSHING 200 YARDS RUSHING ARE TONIGHT.

THAT WILL RUN RIGHT THERE PUTS HIM UP CLOSE TO 180, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT NORTH OF THAT WITH 59 YARDS RECEIVING AS WELL.

WHAT A SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE BY THIS SOPHOMORE TONIGHT, BRYCE HICKS.

HE MAY END UP WITH MORE YARDS RUSHING TONIGHT THAN HE HAD IN THEIR FIRST FIVE GAMES COMBINED.

HE'S AT 184 RIGHT NOW.

227 FOR THE SEASON COMING IN.

CAUGHT BY LIPSCOMB AND ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN FOR CARROLLTON.

37 YARDS.

SECOND TIME THAT M.J.

MORRIS HAS CONNECTED WITH LIPSCOMB.

>> AND WE'VE SEEN M.J.

MORRIS THROW SOME STRIKES TONIGHT.

AND THIS GOES RIGHT THROUGH WITH THEM.

GOOD PROTECTION COMING OFF THE BALL.

KEEPING THE HANDS DOWN FOR THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

DROPPING IT IN THE BASKET THERE TO LIPSCOMB.

NOT AS IMPRESSIVE AS THAT TOUCHDOWN CATCH HE HAD, BUT JUST AS DANGEROUS COMING ACROSS ON THAT SLANT.

BIG PLAY AFTER BIG PLAY FOR THE CARROLLTON TROJANS.

>> 39-7.

JACOB RUSSELL PUTS TUP.

AND A THREE-PLAY 92-YARD DRIVE.

JUST BIG PLAY AFTER BIG PLAY AND A FROZEN ROPE TO LIPSCOMB THAT HE JUST RUNS RIGHT INTO.

I THINK YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD EARLIER.

I THINK THE THING YOU COULD SAY BEST ABOUT M.J.

MORRIS IS HE THROWS THE GUYS OPEN.

>> HE THROWS THE BALL SO THAT THE RECEIVER, WARNER, GUYS LIKE THAT THAT THREW THE BALL.

IT WAS ABOUT THEIR ACCURACY AND THE TOUCH MORE THAN THE STRENGTH OF THEIR ARM.

DREW BREES, GUYS LIKE THAT, WHERE THE RECEIVER NEVER HAD TO SLOW UP SO THE DEFENDER CAN'T GET BACK INTO THE PLAY.

WE'VE SEEN THAT A LOT, EVEN WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE DEFENSE WITH THE INTERCEPTION.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT DRILL THEY ARE DOING, BUT THIS TEAM.

THERE IS NOT A LOT OF BODY CATCHES.

THIS YOUNG TEAM IS CATCHING WITH THEIR HANDS, AND THEY CAN RUN AFTER THE CATCH.

>> WELL, WE MENTIONED IT AT THE START OF THE GAME.

FOUR TOUCHDOWN PASSES FOR M.J.

MORRIS TONIGHT.

AND THEY HAVE ONE OF THE BEST WIDE RECEIVING CORPS IN THE STATE.

CERTAINLY I WOULD THINK THE BEST IN 6A AND MAYBE THE BEST REGARDLESS OF CLASSIFICATION BETWEEN LIPSCOMB AND CARMICHAEL, YOU THROW IN HICKS, THE RUNNING BACK.

WE HADN'T SEEN THAT REALLY.

CARROLLTON REALLY HADN'T SEEN THAT FROM HICKS UNTIL TONIGHT.

>> I'M NOT SURE YOU COULDN'T PUT HICKS IN THERE AND THESE RECEIVERS.

WE MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE FOUR-BY-ONE RELAY TEAM.

THESE GUYS ARE FAST.

YOU SEE NO ONE MAKING UP GROUND ON THEM WHEN THEY CATCH THE BALL AND START RUNNING.

>> MORRIS NOW 15 OF 22 PASSING FOR 279 YARDS.

WILCOX STILL RUNNING HARD WITH HIS TEAM DOWN 33 POINTS.

>> I KNOW WE'VE BEEN RAVING ABOUT M.J.

MORRIS, LIPSCOMB, CARMICHAEL, BUT THIS DEFENSE TO GO OUT AGAINST A TEAM WITH THIS RUN GAME, THIS OFFENSIVE LINE HAS BEEN PUTTING UP 39 POINTS.

STILL COMMANDING AND CONTROLLING.

EVEN IN THAT LONG TOUCHDOWN.

IT TOOK 13 PLAYS TO GET IN THE END ZONE.

THEY'RE PLAYING GREAT TONIGHT.

>> WILCOX STILL MOVING THOSE FEET, CRASHING THROUGH TACKLES.

THAT'S HIS 20th CARRY OF THE NIGHT, AND HE'S NOW UP TO 76 YARDS.

>> THAT TOUGHNESS, THAT STRENGTH THAT HE POSSESSES.

GETTING A LITTLE ANGRY.

YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF TALENT.

WE SAW HIM ON THE SACK.

HE JUST WANTS TO GET INTO THE ACTION.

PLAYING WITH A LOT OF ATTITUDE.

YOU LIKE THAT IN YOUR RUNNING BACK.

>> RUNS INTO HIS CENTER RIGHT THERE ANDREW YOUNG.

>> NICK CHUBB CEREAL.

I HEARD THE CLEVELAND BROWN GREAT HAS A CEREAL.

>> HE DOES?

>> YEAH, A CEREAL.

A NICK CHUBB.

CAPTAIN CRUNCH FLAVOR.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

>> 21 CARRIES.

78 YARDS FOR BABY NICK CHUBB TONIGHT.

GOT THAT NICKNAME.

THEY WERE CAMPING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA DURING THE SUMMER AND KIRBY SMART SAW HIM WORKING OUT AT THE CAMP.

CALLED HIM BABY CHUBB.

HE'S BEEN ONE OF THE FEW BRIGHT SPOTS FOR SOUTH PAULDING TONIGHT.

>> I'D LIKE TO SEE THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

WHEN YOUR BACKS RUN AS HARD AS CHUBB, NOT CHUBB.

AS JAMARION WILCOX DOES, AS A LINEMAN, YOU GOT TO GO OVER AND HELP YOUR BACKUP.

YOU HAVE TO PEEL PEOPLE OFF.

THAT IS YOUR JOB TO PROTECT THE RUNNING BACK AND THE QUARTERBACK.

AND RIGHT THERE YOU SAW THE LINEMAN JUST KIND OF WALK BACK AND LEAVE HIM ON THE GROUND.

THAT'S NOT THE GOOD SPIRIT YOU WANT ON YOUR TEAM.

>> WEISMAN AND IT IS CAUGHT.

WAS HE INBOUNDS?

THEY ARE GOING TO RULE THAT HE WAS OUT OF BOUNDS.

THAT'S A GREAT CATCH.

BUT IT WILL GO FOR NOUGHT, AS BRENDAN GATES COULDN'T GET THE FEET DOWN.

>> KASEN WEISMAN GIVING HIM A CHANCE, ROLLING OUT.

GET AWAY FROM THE BACK SIDE PRESSURE.

JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE.

HOPING FOR THE BEST.

50-50 BALL, AND YOU COULD SEE COMPLETELY OUT OF BOUNDS THERE ON THAT CATCH, AS DIETZ -- EXCUSE ME, IS BRENDAN GATES.

>> SO FOURTH DOWN AND 7.

THEY'LL PUNT IT HERE.

ANDRES STANDING AT 23 TO KICK.

AND IT WILL BOUNCE OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 38 YARD LINE.

THAT'S WHERE CARROLLTON WILL PUT THE BALL IN PLAY WHEN WE GET BACK.

CARROLLTON LEADING.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT TONIGHT'S PLAY OF THE GAME PRESENTED BY BESTY AND FOR THAT WE'LL TAKE YOU BACK TO THE SECOND QUARTER.

AND THIS 48-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN BY BRYCE HICKS.

WHAT A RUN BY HICKS.

48 YARDS TO THE SCORE.

AT THAT TIME MADE IT A 20-0 GAME.

IT HAS BEEN ALL CARROLLTON TONIGHT.

>> WHAT A COMING OUT PARTY FOR BRYCE HICKS.

TONIGHT.

243 YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE.

AT TIMES TOYING WITH THE DEFENSE, WHEN PUT ON A LITTLE WEIGHT TO GET UP TO 160.

HE COMES BACK NEXT YYEAR.

>> THAT ABILITY IS A GREAT EQUALIZER TO HAVE THAT KIND OF GUY TO BE ABLE TO BAIL YOU OUT.

IF YOU'RE M.J.

MORRIS, WHEN YOU'RE IN TROUBLE TO GET THE BALL.

BRYCE HICKS.

>> THIS TIME THEY STOP HIM AND SEND HIM BACKWARDS.

>> AND THIS IS NOT REALLY IN THIS CARROLLTON OFFENSE.

THEY DON'T REALLY WANT TO SIT AND GO DOWNHILL AND TRY TO RUN THE BALL.

THEY'RE NOT A RUN THE BALL TEAM.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WHEN THEY TRY THE FIELD GOAL.

YOU'RE GOING TO FIND YOURSELF IN SOME GAMES WHERE YOU MIGHT NEED TO MILK A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

CAN YOU GET THIS LINE TO GET A COUPLE OF FIRST DOWNS RUNNING THE BALL?

>> PRETTY MUCH ALL THEIR SCORERS HAVE COME ON BIG PLAYS.

NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

BUT AS YOU POINTED OUT, YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS A TIGHT BALL GAME, YOU'VE GOT TO LEAD.

YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR OFFENSE ON THE FIELD, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL BE WANTING TO DO GOING FORWARD.

AND LET'S SEND IT DOWN TO JON NELSON.

>> SOME MORE SCORES TRICKLING IN.

SOME UPDATES AS TO WHAT WE KNOW.

TURNER COUNTY THE FINAL KNOCKS OFF CHARLTON COUNTY BY A SCORE OF 13-7.

RAVEN COUNTY PUTTING A LITTLE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND PIERCE COUNTY.

21-7.

AND WARNER ROBBINS REALLY PUTTING PUP A NUMBER RIGHT NOW IN CAMDEN COUNTY.

IT WAS IN THE TEENS AND 20s.

70-27.

I'M GOING TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SEEING THAT.

WARNER ROBBINS PUTTING UP A BIG NUMBER TONIGHT.

WE'LL BE BACK IN A BIT.

>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, NELLY.

6:12 TO GO.

40-7, CARROLLTON TAKING THAT BIG FIRST STEP TOWARDS TRYING TO THREE PEAT IN THIS REGION.

THEY'VE WON BACK-TO-BACK TITLES.

31 OVERALL REGION TITLES.

THEY'VE BEEN TO THE PLAYOFFS 32 TIMES IN THE LAST 33 YEARS.

BUT AFTER LOSING TO ROME, AND JOHN WAS KIND OF GOING THROUGH ALL THOSE TIEBREAKERS.

INTERCEPTED BY SCARFER.

ONE OF THE RARE MISTAKES BY M.J.

MORRIS TONIGHT.

BUT SCAR VER THERE TO PLUCK THAT BALL OUT OF THE AIR AND GIVE IT BACK TO THE SPARTANS.

>> AND MATT, WE SAW THIS IN THE FIRST HALF.

M.J.

MORRIS, I TALKED ABOUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE WILLING WHEN YOU RUN THE SCREEN, TO TAKE A HIT OR TWO.

FALL ON YOUR BACK.

SUCKER THE DEFENSE IN AND YOU SEE RIGHT THERE M.J.

MORRIS KIND OF BLINDLY NOT ENOUGH HEIGHT.

NOT REALLY OPEN TRYING TO GET THE BALL TO BRYCE HICKS.

BIG-TIME TURNOVER.

>> SO THE BALL GOES OVER TO THE SPARTANS HERE.

AND JAMARION WILCOX CARRIES DOWN INSIDE THE TO YARD LINE.

>> THAT LAST PLAY IS A FUNCTION, AS WE TALKED ABOUT, IN A TIGHT GAME.

WILL THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO GET THE BALL AND EXECUTE AND GET A FIRST DOWN RUNNING?

AND THAT MIGHT BE THAT NEXT DEVELOPMENT FOR M.J.

MORRIS.

I KNOW GET HIM IN THE RUN GAME JUST A LITTLE MORE ON THOSE READ OPTIONS.

>> SECOND DOWN AND 3.

SPARTANS TRYING TO PUT IT IN THE END ZONE FOR THE SECOND TIME TONIGHT.

WILCOX WITH A CUT.

TOUCHDOWN SOUTH PAULDING.

18-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN FOR JAMARION WILCOX.

AND YOU WONDER WHAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN LIKE HAD THAT 79-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN NOT HAVE BEEN CALLED BACK.

>> NICE VISION BY WILCOX HERE.

PRESSURE ONCE AGAIN COMING OFF THE EDGE THERE.

BY COPELAND.

THIS TIME CATCHING IT AND GETTING TO THAT BACK SIDE CUT.

LOOK AT THAT EXPLOSION THERE BY JAMARION WILCOX.

YOU CAN SEE THE TALENT.

WE'VE SEEN IT.

IT'S NOT TALENT-BASED TONIGHT.

IT'S CONTINUE AN EXECUTING OFFENSE.

BUT GREAT JOB BY HIM.

>> GOING FOR TWO.

AND THEY DO NOT RUN IT IN.

SO 40-13.

SO THE INTERCEPTION BY SCAR VER TWO PLAYS LATER TURNS INTO A TOUCHDOWN RUN BY WILCOX.

SOUTH PAULDING WILL HAVE TO REGROUP FROM THIS LOSS AND GET BACK INTO THE REGION RACE.

THEY'VE GOT UNDEFEATED IN THE REGION AND OVERALL DOUGLASS COUNTY NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT.

THAT WILL BE A HUGE GAME.

AND THIS IS A VERY TOUGH REGION.

SOUTH PAULDING WAS THE ONLY TEAM LAST YEAR THAT HAD A WINNING REGION RECORD AND AT LEAST SIX OVERALL WINS AND NOT MAKE PLAYOFFS.

SO YOU PLAY IN A TOUGH REGION.

THERE IS NOT A LOT OF MARGIN FOR ERROR.

SO NEXT WEEK YOU GOT DOUGLASS COUNTY THAT'S STILL UNDEFEATED IN REGION PLAY.

SO THEY HAVE SOME WORK CUT OUT FOR THEM.

>> AND COACH KING TALKED ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY NEEDED TO COME IN THIS GAME AND WIN.

THEY'VE HAD TO COME AND WIN THIS GAME IF THEY HAD ANY CHANCE OF WINNING THE REGION.

>> SO LET'S SEE.

THEY'LL NO DOUBT TRY AN ON SIDE KICK HERE.

TROJANS HAVE HAD ONE OF THEM EXECUTED AGAINST THEM THIS YEAR.

SO SOUTH PAULDING WILL LIKELY TRY TO DO THAT RIGHT HERE, TOO.

ROLLS IT OUT THERE AND IT'S COVERED NICELY AT THE 45 YARD LINE.

COMING UP NEXT FOR THE CARROLLTON TROJANS.

THEY'LL BE AT PAULDING COUNTY NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT.

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT EAST PAULDING, ALEXANDER AT DOUGLASS COUNTY TO WRAP THINGS UP.

THOSE LAST TWO GAMES WILL BE THE TOUGHER OF THE REMAINING SCHEDULE FOR THEM.

BUT THEY WILL LIKELY HAVE TO WIN EVERY ONE OF THOSE GAMES FROM HERE ON OUT TO HAVE A SHOT AT THREE PEATING AS THE REGION FIVE 6A CHAMPIONS.

AND RIGHT NOW DOUGLASS COUNTY IS GOING TO BE THE ONLY TEAM LEFT IN THIS REGION WITHOUT A LOSS HICKS STILL IN THE GAME AND PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN.

MAKES AN 11-YARD RUN LOOK VERY EASY.

>> SHIFTY AND FAST.

AND HE'S SHOWING YOU THE COMPLETE PACKAGE TONIGHT.

A FLAG ON THE PLAY.

I IMAGINE IT'S PROBABLY HOLDING TO GET HIM TO THE OUTSIDE.

>> NOW WE HAVE AN UNSPORTSMANLIKE PENALTY, IT LOOKS LIKE.

>> Referee: AFTER THE PLAY, UNSPORTSMANLIKE.

15 YARDS.

FIRST DOWN.

>> SO HE GETS THE CREDIT FOR THE 11-YARD RUN IN THE FIRST DOWN AND THEN THEY'LL BACK IT UP 15 YARDS.

BUT THAT PUTS HICKS NEAR 200.

197 ON 14 CARRIES.

THROW IN ANOTHER CLOSE TO 60 YARDS RECEIVING.

WHAT A NIGHT BY BRYCE HICKS.

>> AND THIS OFFENSE.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT SOMETIMES, AS AN ATHLETE, THIS OFFENSIVE LINE LOOKS OVER AND SOUTH PAULDING COMES WITH ALL THE LUSTER OF THEIR LINE.

YOU LOOK AT JAMARION WILCOX FOR SOUTH PAULDING.

BRYCE HICKS SEEMS LIKE HE WANTED TO RAISE HIS HAND TONIGHT AND SAY HEY, I'M OVER HERE AS WELL.

HE'S SHOWING SOME TOUGHNESS FOR A SMALLER GUY.

160.

AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT HE'S LISTED AT.

>> YOU THINKING LESS?

>> HE LOOKS MORE ABOUT 152.

>> 160, AND HE'S HIDING IT.

MAYBE IT'S JUST MUSCLE.

BUT HE'S BEEN FUN TO WATCH.

THIS TIME TAKES A LOSS.

GETS THE TFL.

>> NICE JOB BY SCARBOROUGH, ABSORBING THAT STIFF ARM BY BRYCE HICKS.

HE'S TELLING HIS TEAMMATES.

A BUCK 50.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

>> SCARBOROUGH CAME IN LEADING THIS TEAM IN TACKLES FOR LOSS AND QUARTERBACK SACKS.

HE'S PICKED UP A COUPLE OF TACKLES TONIGHT AND AN INTERCEPTION.

THE 6'1", 220-POUND JUNIOR DEFENSIVE END.

GETS IT OUT OF THERE.

IT'S COMPLETE.

LIPSCOMB AND IT LOOKED LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE GRABBED HIM BY THE FACEMASK BY THE WAY HIS HEAD JERKED AROUND.

BUT APPARENTLY NOT.

THERE WAS AN OFFICIAL STANDING RIGHT THERE ON TOP OF THE PLAY.

>> NICE JOB.

PULLED HIM DOWN BY THE FACE.

>> HOW DOES THAT OFFICIAL MISS THAT?

>> NOT SURE.

HE'S LOOKING RIGHT AT THE PLAY.

>> I MEAN, MY GOODNESS.

>> THE CHIN STRAP EVEN CAME LOOSE.

GREAT HANDS BY LIPSCOMB.

>> I SAW IT TWICE.

FIRST AND SO.

BALL AT THE 30 YARD LINE.

HICKS A SHORT GAIN.

UNDER THREE AND A HALF IN JUST A FEW SECONDS HERE IN WHAT WILL BE A BIG WIN FOR CARROLLTON.

>> WHAT AN IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE BY THEM TONIGHT.

OUTSIDE OF THE INTERCEPTION BY MORRIS AND THE TURNOVER EARLIER IN THE GAME BY CARMICHAEL AND THE PUNT.

JUST WELL EXECUTED IN ALL PHASES OF THE GAME.

YOU CAN SEE THEIR ENERGY LEVEL IS KIND OF LIKE GET THE GAME OVER.

>> MORRIS.

THAT'S COMPLETE TO LIPSCOMB AGAIN.

LIPSCOMB IS A GOOD-LOOKING WIDE RECEIVER.

HE'S GOING TO BE UP CLOSE TO 500 YARDS RECEIVING FOR THE SEASON BY THE TIME THIS NIGHT'S OVER.

WAS ALREADY NUMBER THREE.

THAT WAS A 14-YARD PICK UP RIGHT THERE.

HE'S BEEN OFFERED BY PITT, WESTERN KENTUCKY, MORGAN STATE.

>> TALKED ABOUT WATCHING SOMETIMES.

HE FLASHES GREATNESS FRONT OF YOU AND YOU CAN SEE THE ABILITY THAT HE POSSESSES.

>> GOING BACK TO HIM AGAIN AND THIS TIME HE CAN'T RUN UNDER IT.

GOING TO TRY TO MAKE A ONE-HANDED CATCH.

PANTHERS IN TOWN, RIGHT?

PLAYING GEORGIA TECH?

>> YES, THEY ARE.

>> SIWONDER IF THEY HAVE ANY COACHES OUT THERE TAKING A LOOK AT TAKHARE TONIGHT.

>> THAT PUTS HIM WELL OVER 500 YARDS RECEIVING FOR THE SEASON.

AND HE WAS ALREADY NUMBER THREE IN 6A AND RECEIVING YARDS.

AND REMAINING SUSPENSION THIS GAME IS HOW MANY YARDS WILL HICKS END UP WITH TONIGHT?

WILL HE HIT HIS SEASON TOTALS TONIGHT?

HE HAD 227 YARDS RUSHING FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON WHEN THE GAME STARTED.

HE'S AT 199.

SO IF HE WAS TO BREAK OFF A TOUCHDOWN RUN RIGHT HERE, HE'D BE CLOSE TO IT.

OF COURSE, HE'S ASKING HIMSELF COACH, WHY AM I STILL IN THE GAME AT THIS POINT?

HAVEN'T I SHOWN YOU ENOUGH TO GET OUT WITH TWO MINUTES TO GO UP 27 POINTS?

>> MORRIS IS GOING TO RUN IT ON THIRD AND 7.

I MEAN, YOU'RE PROBABLY LIKE LEAVE ME IN THERE.

THEY DON'T GET TIRED LIKE WE DO.

>> AND THAT LAST PLAY WITH M.J.

MORRIS, AS YOU SAW QUARTERBACK DRAW.

IF YOU'RE CARROLLTON, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO START FINDING SOME KIND OF DIMENSION IN THESE SITUATIONS.

SOMETHING OTHER THAN TRYING TO GET HICKS ON THE CORNER.

JUST TO GET DOWNHILL AND FINISH A GAME LIKE THIS WITH A COUPLE OF FIRST DOWNS.

>> CAREER WIN NUMBER 72 FOR JOEY KING.

GOOD TO HAVE HIM BACK IN GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

OUT OF THOSE 72 WINS, AT ONE POINT, THEY WON 41 IN A ROW WHEN HE WAS AT CARTERSVILLE.

>> THEY HAD A GUY NAMED LAWRENCE THAT THREW THE BALL A LITTLE BIT.

>> THAT HE SPOKE TO RIGHT BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED AND THEY SPOKE FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES.

THEY TEXT BACK AND FORTH.

BOTH OF THEM OBVIOUSLY VERY BUSY.

COACH KEEN WITH HIS CARROLLTON TEAM AND TREVOR LAWRENCE.

NEARLY GOT THAT FIRST NFL WIN LAST NIGHT.

LAST-SECOND FIELD GOAL BY THE BENGALS.

SENT HIM INTO THE LOSERS BRACKET AGAIN.

BUT COACH KING TALKING ABOUT HIS FORMER STAR PLAYER, PREDICTED THAT HE'LL GET IT GOING.

AND I'M PRETTY SURE THAT HE WILL.

THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME RIGHT HERE.

THE CLOCK WIND DOWN.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SNAP IT AGAIN.

SEE, LOOK AT HICKS TONIGHT RUSHING.

227 IN THE FIRST FIVE GAMES.

204 TONIGHT.

>> CAME IN THIS GAME, THIS OFFENSE KNOWN FOR WHAT IT CAN DO IN THE AIR.

WE'VE SEEN THAT.

IF YOU HAD THE DIMENSION, BRYCE HICKS BEING ABLE TO RUN THIS BALL.

STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS HAS TO START GETTING INTO YOUR MIND, LOOKING AT HOW IMPRESSIVE THIS OFFENSE IS, ESPECIALLY IN THIS FIELD POSITION.

>> CARROLLTON KNOWS ABOUT THAT.

THEY WON SEVEN OF THEM.

BUT THEY HAVE NOT WON ONE IN 22 YEARS, AND ONLY ONE IN THE LAST 46 YEARS.

THEY PLAYED IN THE STATE FINALS SO MANY TIMES.

13 TIMES THEY'VE BEEN IN THE STATE FINALS.

WILL JOEY KING GET THEM BACK?

FIRST GOAL IS TO WIN THE REGION TITLE AND THEY STAY IN THE RACE TONIGHT WITH A 40-13 BEATING OF SOUTH PAULDING.

IMPRESSIVE M.J.

MORRIS.

LOVE HIM.

LIKE WHAT WE SAW FROM HIM.

THINK HE'S GOING TO HAVE A BIG-TIME CAREER HERE HIS SENIOR YEAR AND ON WHEN HE GOES OFF TO PLAY IN THE ACC.

AND THE BRIGHT YOUNG STAR, BRYCE HICKS, GOT OUR ATTENTION, ALONG WITH LIPSCOMB.

CARMICHAEL JUST AN EXTREMELY TALENTED CARROLLTON TEAM.

AND THEY SHOWED THAT AND LEFT NO DOUBT TONIGHT.

>> A COMPLETE TEAM WIN.

WE KNEW WHAT THEY WOULD DO ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE, HANGING 44 PLUS POINTS ON THE BOARD A GAME.

BUT DEFENSIVELY, THAT KIND OF ENERGY AND PRESSURE OFF THE EDGE TO CREATE CHAOS FOR THE QUARTERBACK IS SO KEY OF DISTURBING KASEN WEISMAN IN THIS PAULDING OFFENSE.

FOR ABOUT THREE QUARTERS THERE, THEY HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO GO WITH THE BALL.

>> YOU MAKE A GREAT POINT, WAYNE.

IT'S REALLY HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE ARE MOST IMPRESSED.

THE DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE.

SOUTH PAULDING WAS AVERAGING JUST UNDER 40 POINTS PER GAME.

AND KEPT THEM BOOM BOOZLED THE ENTIRE NIGHT.

LET'S SEND IT TO JON NELSON STANDING BY WITH HEAD COACH JOEY KING.

>> ALL RIGHT, SO LET ME ASK IT THIS WAY.

YOUR REPORT CARD FOR TONIGHT ON A BOUNCEBACK GAME.

SCALE OF A TO F. HOW WOULD YOU GRADE YOURSELF TONIGHT?

>> PROBABLY A B PLUS.

>> WHY?

>> SECOND HALF.

A LOT OF STUFF SECOND HALF OFFENSIVELY THAT WASN'T CLEAN.

WE GOT THEM AN OPPORTUNITY.

AND THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED.

SOME DECISIONS THAT WE MADE IN THE SECOND HALF.

I GOT TO COACH BETTER IN THOSE SITUATIONS.

>> AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE IDEA OF A BOUNCEBACK GAME, WHERE NOW EVERY GAME IS A MUST-WIN IN THIS REGION, WHICH IS IN THE BLENDER ALREADY, WHERE EVERY GAME IS IMPORTANT.

WHAT'S IT LIKE WITH THIS PRESSURE?

>> THE PRESSURE IS SELF-IMPOSED.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO GO 1-0 EACH WEEK.

OUR GOAL IS TO GO 1-0 EACH WEEK.

I TOLD THE GUYS THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE YEAR BECAUSE IT'S THE ONE WE PLAY TONIGHT, SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO KEEP THIS MINDSET.

>> HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SIT THERE AND LET YOURSELF GO AND THINK ABOUT THE NEXT GO AROUND?

>> I DON'T KNOW IF I EVER DO THAT.

>> JOEY, IT'S GOOD TO TO SEE YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THERE WE GO.

THE PLAYER OF THE GAME FOR GEORGIA AND THE BEAUTIFUL PART IS THAT WE GIVE HARDWARE.

SEE WHAT HAPPENS, BRYCE?

THE HAT AND THE TOWEL.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE TOWEL IS UP THERE CORRECT.

THERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT.

>> YOU WANT TO SEE THE LOGO?

>> THERE IT IS.

WELL DONE.

ALL RIGHT SO BRYCE, YOU HAD NORTH OF 200 FOR THE SEASON COMING INTO TONIGHT.

NORTH OF 200 TONIGHT, WHAT WAS IT LIKE OUT THERE WITH THAT OFFENSIVE LINE CLEARING FOR YOU?

>> WE HAD A TOTAL LOSS LAST WEEK.

WE HAD A BOUNCEBACK THIS WEEK AND WE HAD NOTHING TO PLAY WITH.

>> WHAT WAS IT LIKE THIS WEEK GETTING READY FOR THIS GAME KNOWING THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BOUNCEBACK GAME?

HOW INTENSE WAS IT GETTING READY FOR THIS GAME?

>> WE WERE MORE FOCUSED THAN EVER BECAUSE WE PLAYED LAST WEEK.

WE WERE A LITTLE BIT TOO RELAXED.

SO WE KNEW THIS WEEK SOUTH PAULDING WILL BE STRONG SO WE KNEW WE HAD TO COME STRONGER.

>> WHAT'S IT LIKE WITH THAT OFFENSIVE LINE BECAUSE THEY'RE SHOWING A LOT OF RUNS THAT GOT YOU NORTH OF 200.

WAS IT LIKE SEEING ALL OF THAT STUFF OPEN UP FOR YOU KNOWING THAT YOU CAN GET OFF AND RUNNING?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

WE PROBABLY DID ALL WEEK.

>> IS THERE A FAVORITE PLAY CALL THAT YOU LIKE MORE THAN ANY OF THEM?

>> I LIKE WHEN THEY GIVE ME THE BALL.

>> BRYCE HICKS, NORTH OF 200 TONIGHT.

OUR PLAYER OF THE GAME.

THE NATURAL CHOICE FOR GEORGIA.

CONGRATULATIONS.

ONE MORE QUESTION FOR YOU.

YOU'RE GETTING SOME INTEREST FROM CLEMSON WHEN IT COMES TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

WHAT'S IT LIKE GETTING THAT KIND OF ATTENTION ALREADY AS A SOPHOMORE?

>> I'M NOT REALLY.

I'M TRYING TO STAY HUMBLE REALLY.

I JUST WANT TO FOCUS ON THE SEASON.

I JUST FEEL I NEED TO FOCUS ON WINNING.

WE WANT TO WIN STATE.

>> THERE YOU GO.

GO BE WITH YOUR TEAMMATES.

CONGRATULATIONS.

>> THANK YOU ALL.

>> THE MAN'S STAYING HUMBLE.

PLAYER OF THE GAME.

>> I LOVE HIS ANSWER THERE.

I LOVE THE ANSWER.

FOCUSSED IF ON THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

GOOD ANSWER.

>> AND HE'S A HUMBLE MAN AND HE MUMBLED THE DEFENSE WITH HIS PERFORMANCE.

>> WHAT AN IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE BY BRYCE HICKS AND M.J.

MORRIS AS WELL.

SHARP-LOOKING QUARTERBACK HERE TONIGHT.

HAD A SPECTACULAR EVENING.

FINISHES WITH 17 FOR 25 AND THREE IN THE AIR AND FOUR TOUCHDOWNS.

>> I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE SEEN A MORE IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE BETWEEN QUARTERBACKS AND RECEIVERS SO FAR THIS YEAR AS WE'VE BEEN CALLING GAMES.

>> CHECK US OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

TOMORROW WE WILL ANNOUNCE TOMORROW WHERE WE WILL BE NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT.

SO BE FOLLOWING US ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM AND WE WILL MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT COMING UP TOMORROW.

SO LIKE WE SAY, WHEN IT'S OVER, IT ISN'T OVER BECAUSE THE POSTGAME SHOW IS COMING UP NEXT.

CARROLLTON WINS BIG 40-13 THE FINAL.

NOW FOR WAYNE GANDY, JON NELSON, NICKY PALMER AND OUR ENTIRE GPB TEAM.

THE POSTGAME SHOW IS NEXT.

>> WELCOME IN TO OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA POSTGAME SHOW, I'M NICKY PALMER AND THIS IS PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA.

WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL FINAL SCORE OUT OF CARROLLTON AT GRISHAM STADIUM.

FINAL CARROLLTON BEATS OUT PAULDING 40-13.

IT WAS THE TROJANS SHOW.

WE'LL CATCH UP WITH JON NELSON IN JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT GAME.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SOME SCORES THAT ARE TRICKLING IN.

FINAL SCORES, IF FULL.

SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET TO OUR SCOREBOARD.

GEORGIA EMC, SO MUCH MORE THAN ELECTRICITY.

ALL RIGHT, WE'VE GOT A FINAL WARNER ROBBINS 77-34.

I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT WARNER ROBBINS CONTINUES TO BE THE FAVORITE FOR CLASS 5A.

COLLEGE PARK.

HUGHS BEAT WEST LAKE.

THAT WAS A REALLY FUN GAME.

SO FOLLOW AND HUGHS TOOK IT OVER TONIGHT.

THAT'S A GREAT GAME OVER IN COLLEGE PARK.

TO WINS ABORO.

THIS IS A FINAL FROM YESTERDAY.

BURKE COUNTY THE FINAL 59-28.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL HEAR FROM OUR COASTAL PALS COMING UP SHORTLY.

TO COLUMBUS, THE REGION TWO FAVORITE OUT OF THE 4A AND THAT IS CARVER, COLUMBUS.

THAT'S ALWAYS A FUN GAME TO WATCH.

MOVING INTO HOSTIN AND THAT 7A MATCHUP MILL CREEK OVER NORTH QUINET.

AND NOW LET'S LOOK AT SOME OTHER GAMES COMING OUT OF THE HOUSE OF PAIN.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, THEY DEFEAT NORTHEAST MACON.

AND NOW WE'RE HEADING DOWN TO BLACK SHARE FOR THE PIERCE MATCHUP AND THERE IS A FINAL GREYSON SOUTH QUINET.

GREYSON ON TOP.

THEY HAD A NIGHT.

FINAL 42-6 OVER STRATFORD ACADEMY.

AND TRINITY HAS THE EDGE.

JON NELSON IS LIVE WITH US FROM THE STADIUM.

JON, HOW WAS THE SIDELINE TONIGHT?

YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO COACH JOEY KING AND SUMO.

WHAT A NIGHT FOR THE TROJANS, THOUGH.

WHAT IS THAT GAME LIKE FOR YOU OUT THERE ON THE SIDELINE?

>> FIRST AND FOREMOST, IT WAS GREAT TO BE BACK HERE IN CARROLLTON AND WE'RE GOING TO GET A BAND PERFORMANCE, TOO, SO WE'LL HAVE SOME ACCOMPANIMENT WITH US HERE IN THE POSTGAME SHOW.

I THINK THAT IN A GAME, IN A REGION THAT AS WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED, IS ALREADY IN THE BLENDER, WHICH MEANS THAT IF YOU WIN ONE, YOU CAN RACK IT UP INTO A PLAYOFF POSITION.

THESE GAMES HAVE AMAZING IMPORT ALREADY HERE IN THE REGION.

AND ROME IS A PART OF THE DISCUSSION.

SOUTH PAULDING'S A PART OF THE DISCUSSION.

CARROLLTON COUNTY IS PART OF THE DISCUSSION.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT PROBABLY 5-4.

WE SAW TONIGHT OUT OF CARROLLTON JUST HOW DIVERSE THEY CAN BE OFFENSIVELY AND HOW THEY CAN BE DEFENSIVELY WHEN IT COMES TO PUTTING THE PUDAL DOWN.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

AND YOU KNOW I LOVE FOLLOWING THAT CARMICHAEL COASTAL STORY WITH JOEY KING.

CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP?

WHEN.

>> WHEN YOU SIT THERE AND YOU ARE TRACKING ATHLETES AND YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR HEART IS AND YOU KNOW WHERE THE LANDSCAPE IS AND WHAT GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL IS AND YOU CAN TRACK ATHLETES FROM THE STATE THAT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH, JOEY KING KNOWING THE SOUTHEAST, KNOWING THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

SO IT MAKES SENSE THAT YOU GO BACK TO THOSE PLACES THAT YOU KNOW.

AND WHEN YOU SPOT SOMEONE WHO, LIKE BRYCE HICKS, IS A SOPHOMORE AND YOU GET THOSE EARLY IDEAS IN YOUR HEAD, LET'S KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PARTICULAR ATHLETE.

JOEY KING DID THAT WITH CARMICHAEL AND TWO YEARS LATER YOU CIRCLE BACK AROUND AND YOU END UP BEING THE KID'S COACH.

SO YOU CAN DIRECT TRAFFIC A LITTLE BIT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROCESS.

IT'S PRETTY FUN.

THERE AND AND WE'VE HAD FUN REGION GAMES THAT ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

I FEEL LIKE NOT ONLY ARE THE TEAMS IN MID SEASON FORM.

WHAT ARE THE GAMES YOU ARE FOLLOWING TONIGHT?

>> I THINK THE ONE THAT STUNS A LOT OF FOLKS JUST BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER THAT WAS PUT ON THE BOARD, NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE OF THE WIN, BUT BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER THAT WARNER ROBBINS PUT UP TONIGHT.

77.

REMEMBER, THIS ONE WAS TIGHT EARLY.

21-21 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S 42-27 AND YOU TURNED AROUND AND LOOK AND IT'S TWO SEVENs ON THE WARNER ROBBINS RIGHT NOW.

A LOT OF FOLKS ARE LOOKING AT THE DEMONS REGARDLESS OF CLASSIFICATION.

AND WHEN YOU PUT UP A NUMBER LIKE THAT, WHEN THEY DO TONIGHT AND IN A HOMECOMING GAME LIKE THEY HAD TONIGHT, THROWS THE KINDS OF SCORES THAT GLARE AT YOU EARLY ON.

>> WELL, FROM ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS IN THE STATE TO ANOTHER BEST TEAM IN THE STATE.

JON, I HATE TO KICK YOU OFF.

BUT WE HAVE COACH ADAM CART KER ON THE LINE.

BIG WIN OUT OF LOGANVILLE.

WELCOME TO THE SHOW, COACH CARTER.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING AFTER THAT 17-14 WIN IN LOGANVILLE TONIGHT AT HOME?

>> YOU GOT TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.

WE PLAYED A GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM TONIGHT.

WE NEEDED THIS ONE.

IT WAS A TOUGH GAME NOW.

EVERYBODY FOUGHT HARD.

SO IT WAS A GREAT HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME TONIGHT.

>> GOOD HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME.

COACH, YOU'RE OFF NEXT WEEK BEFORE YOU HEAD TO THE BIG ORANGE JUNGLE.

SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO USE THAT WEEK TO GET BETTER?

>> I'M HOPING WE USE THAT WEEK TO REFRESH A LITTLE BIT.

IF YOU COUNT THE SCRIMMAGE AGAINST MARIETTA, WE ARE PLAYING A BUNCH OF KIDS THAT HAD NOT HAD TO PLAY A SEASON LIKE THIS.

SOME OF THOSE YOUNG KIDS ARE USED TO THEIR SEASON BEING OVER BY THIS TIME.

SO I HOPE WE USE TO REFRESH.

WE'VE GT A LOT TO FIX.

OUR EFFORT'S BEEN THERE.

IF YOU WATCH OUR GAMES, YOU CAN SEE OUR KIDS.

THEY PLAY HARD.

WE'VE GOT A LOT TO FIX OFFENSIVELY AND DEFENSIVELY.

I HEAR Y'ALL TALKING ABOUT POINTS THAT SOME OF THESE TEAMS SCORED.

WE GOT A BUNCH OF PICKS.

DEFENSIVELY JAIME I'M HOPING THAT WE GET BACK TO WHAT WE DO, JUST PLAYING SOUND FOOTBALL AND RUNNING TO THE FOOTBALL AND MAKING THINGS HAPPEN WHEN WE GET THERE.

WE DIDN'T CREATE ANY TURNOVERS TONIGHT AND SO THAT'S KIND OF OUR DOWNFALL RIGHT NOW AND NOT GETTING THE BALL BACK.

BUT WE'LL SPEND OUR TIME AND GET OUR KIDS REFRESHED AND HOPEFULLY GET READY FOR THIS RUN AND HEAD OVER AND THE GUYS ARE GOING TO BE TOUGH, JUST LIKE ALWAYS.

SO IT WILL BE A BATTLE OVER THERE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE TOUGH AND READY.

COACH, WHAT ELSE ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO TO THE BACK HALF OF THE SEASON?

>> JUST TO SEE HOW OUR KIDS GROW AND DEVELOP REALLY.

WE HAVE SIX OUT OF OUR 22 STARTERS THAT REALLY HAD VARSITY PLAYING EXPERIENCE COMING IN THE SEASON.

SO EVERY WEEK'S A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR US AND WE WILL CONTINUE, I THINK, TO DO SOME REALLY GOOD THINGS AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW SHOOT OURSELVES IN THE FOOT.

I THINK WE GOT TO GET THAT FIXED FROM A MENTAL SIDE OF THINGS.

LIKE I SAID, OUR KIDS' EFFORTS THERE, OUR JOB AS COACHES IS TO GO THROUGH AND FIX ALL THIS OTHER STUFF WITH THE DETAILS AND GET IT RIGHT FOR THIS STRETCH.

A BIG PART OF OUR SEASON IS GOING TO BE THE SEAT THAT WE CAN GET GOING INTO THE PLAYOFFS.

SO THESE NEXT COUPLE OF GAMES ARE GOING TO BE HUGE FOR US.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

BIG GAME FOR COMING UP.

COACH CARTER, AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

JON, ARE YOU STILL WITH US?

>> OH, YEAH.

FIRST THING THAT.

HERE IS THE FIRST THING THAT I WISH FOR ADAM CARTER.

EITHER SOME THROAT TEA OR POT TEA WITH LEMON BECAUSE THAT IS THE VOICE OF A COACH THAT WAS PUT IN THE GRINDER TONIGHT.

AND I GIVE HIM A BOATLOAD OF CREDIT FOR ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS WITH THAT SET OF PIPES THAT HE HAD LEFT OVER FROM THAT GAME TONIGHT.

SO I SINCERELY HOPE THAT AS A YOUNG FATHER, HE GOES HOME AND GETS SOME VERY, VERY HOT TEA WITH SOME LEMON AND HONEY AT THE BOTTOM OF IT SO HE CAN REST THAT VOICE BEFORE HE HAS TO GET BACK IN COACHING.

AND YOU MENTIONED THE FACT THAT THEY GOT THAT OFF WEEK.

STARTING REGION PLAY VERY WELL WITH THE WIN TONIGHT.

PARK VIEW, BROOKWOOD, NEWTON.

THAT'S THE RUN-IN FOR ADAM CARTER, AND THAT IS GOING TO BE STOUTY BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT BOUNCEBACK.

THAT'S ONE THING.

WE TALK ABOUT MANY REGIONS REALLY FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD.

WHEN YOU HAVE A REGION THAT HAS FIVE TEAMS IN IT, LIKE THIS ONE DOES, IT IS A FOUR-GAME SPRINT TO GET READY FOR REGION PLAY, TO GET YOU READY FOR THE POSTSEASON.

YOU'RE HAVING TO SCHEDULE 92 NON-REGION GAMES BEFORE YOU GET INTO REGION PLAY.

SO IT'S A TOUGH SLOG, ESPECIALLY FOR A COACH IN THIS REGION SPECIFICALLY.

>> TOUGH, TOUGH REGION.

ABSOLUTELY ONE OUR FAVORITES TO WATCH.

SO WE'LL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THOSE GREYSON RAMS.

AS ALWAYS, JON.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE WILL GET YOU BACK ON TO OUR POSTGAME SHOW RIGHT BACK RIGHT HERE ON GPB WITH OUR POSTGAME SHOW.

STICK WITH US.

>> WELCOME BACK TO OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA POSTGAME SHOW PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA.

LIVE FROM THE SPORTS STUDIOS RIGHT HERE IN ATLANTA.

WE'VE GOT FINAL SCORES THAT ARE TRICKLING IN.

SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET TO OUR SCOREBOARD.

SO MUCH MORE THAN ELECTRICITY.

NOTHING BUT CALM.

THAT IS A FINAL SCORE 63-0.

UP NEXT WE'VE GOT THE BATTLE OF SNELLVILLE AND LAWRENCEVILLE.

THAT IS ALMOST A FINAL THERE.

STILL PLAYING RIGHT NOW AND THEN WE GO DOWN TO SOUTH GEORGIA.

WE LOVE THE SOUTH GEORGIA FOOTBALL.

THAT IS A CLOSE ONE RIGHT NOW.

9-3.

AND WE'VE GOT GLENN ACADEMY AND BRADWELL INSTITUTE.

35-6.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL HEAR FROM OUR COASTAL MEDIA MEMBERS COMING UP SHORTLY.

AND THIS ONE IS RIGHT UP 400 NORTH MILTON OVER ALF RETTA.

RIGHT NOW FOR OUR GEORGIA'S SCOREBOARD.

AND NOW WE ARE ABOUT TO BRING IN ONE OF OUR COACHES.

LET'S SEE IF WE HAVE HIM ON THE LINE.

COACH MAY FROM THE WEST LAKE LINES.

COACH, DO WE HAVE YOU ON THE LINE?

>> Caller: I THINK I'M HERE.

CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME?

>> ARE YOU IN YOUR CAR RIGHT NOW, COACH?

>> Caller: I PULLED OVER, DON'T WORRY.

>> GOOD, BECAUSE THIS IS SPONSORED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY.

COACH, THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME BECAUSE THIS IS A TOUGH LOSS AT HOME.

WHAT DID YOU LEARN ABOUT THE GRIT OF YOUR TEAM TONIGHT?

>> Caller: I KNOW WE'RE A TOUGH FOOTBALL TEAM, AND I'M HAPPY THE WAY WE FOUGHT BACK AND A LOT OF TEAMS IN THE PAST QUIT AFTER THE FIRST HALF.

WE HAD A TERRIBLE FIRST HALF AND DIDN'T QUIT WHEN THINGS WERE GOING WRONG AND I'M REALLY PROUD OF THEM FOR THAT.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

WERE THERE PLAYMAKERS OVER THE GAME THAT PUSHED YOU GUYS OVER THE EDGE DURING THAT STRETCH OF AN ALMOST COMEBACK, IF YOU WILL?

>> Caller: IT'S HARD TO NAME NAMES RIGHT NOW.

OUR RUNNINGBACKS DID A GREAT JOB.

AND R.J.

DIDN'T PLAY HIS BEST GAME, BUT HE KEPT US IN THE GAME.

SO R.J.

IS OUR QUARTERBACK.

>> COACH, YOU'RE ON THE ROAD FOR A THURSDAY NIGHT GAME.

THAT IS A VERY QUICK TURN AROUND.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO WORK ON WITH YOUR TEAM THIS WEEK?

>> Caller: WE JUST GOT TO WORK ON FULL FOUR QUARTERS.

WE'RE DOWN AND WE'VE GOT DOWN 14 AND WE HAVEN'T PLAYED A FULL GAME.

WE NEED TO PLAY SOME FULL GAMES AND GET OURSELVES READY TO GET TO THE PLAYOFFS.

>> COACH, THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

BE SAFE GOING HOME.

JON NELSON, LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT RIVALRY GAME THAT HAPPENED TONIGHT IN COLLEGE PARK.

>> YEAH, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS.

AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A REGION OPENER.

AND THE IMPORTANCE OF WINNING THAT REGION OPENER COMES TO THE FORE, IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.

THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TWO TEAMS RANKED TOP FIVE, TOP SIX DEPENDING ON THE POLL.

AND HOW MUCH THIS ONE MEANS ACROSS THE BOARD.

I THINK THAT THIS IS -- IT'S A TOUGH PILL TO SWALLOW EARLY ON IN REGION PLAY BECAUSE NOW YOU'RE HAVING TO WORK UPHILL FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOUR TIME.

BUT ONCE AGAIN, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A FIVE-GAME REGION SPRINT.

MORE ATLANTA, LOVEJOY AND TUCKER.

AND THINKING THAT HALLOWEEN GAME MIGHT BE THE ONE THAT CHALLENGES.

AND RIGHT NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO, IF YOU'RE WEST LAKE, YOU'RE HOPING FOR SOME HELP WHEN IT COMES TO CUES IN THEIR SCHEDULE.

BUT RIGHT NOW WEST LAKE IS GOING TO HAVE TO JUST MAINTAIN TO GET THE TWO SEED, CONSIDERING THAT THEY WILL HAVE LOST ANY KIND OF A TIEBREAKER WHEN IT COMES TO WEST LAKE AND HUGHS RIGHT NOW.

>> JOHN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE APPRECIATE THAT INSIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK TO YOU IN JUST A MINUTE.

BUT WE HAVE OUR COASTAL FRIENDS ON THE LINE.

WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND WELCOME IN CHRISTIAN.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT GAME LAST NIGHT.

CAN YOU FILL US IN ON WHAT WENT RIGHT AND KEY THINGS THAT YOU WITNESSED THAT YOU LEARNED ABOUT THOSE TEAMS LAST NIGHT.

>> Caller: YEAH.

THE BIGGEST QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE COMING OFF AN EMOTIONAL WIN 49-42 THE WEEK BEFORE.

AND THEY CAME OUT AND ANSWERED THE BELL THE FIRST TWO MINUTES.

AND WE DIDN'T FIND OUT UNTIL LAST WEEK THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A THURSDAY NIGHT GAME DUE TO THE LACK OF OFFICIALS IN THE AUGUSTA AREA.

SO ONE OF THE HOTTEST TEAMS WON FOUR IN A ROW SINCE STARTING 0-2 AND MAYBE HAD ONE OF THE MORE DYNAMIC OFFENSES IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

>> CAN YOU FILL US IN ON THAT 37-6 WIN?

>> Caller: 35-12 WAS THE FINAL SCORE.

1-1 NOW FOLLOWING THAT OVERTIME LOSS TO BRUNSWICK LAST WEEK.

THEY NEED SOMEONE ELSE TO COME UP AND BEAT BRUNSWICK IF THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO KEEP THIS CHAMPIONSHIP STREAK GOING.

AND ANOTHER BIG WIN FROM THAT REGION.

YOU HAVE STATESBORO.

SO IN THAT REGION RIGHT NOW BRUNSWICK SEEMS TO HAVE A SOLID GRASP BUT AGAIN JUST MORE BIG GAMES COMING OUT OF THAT REGION.

BUT QUINET COUNTY USUALLY GETS BETTER LATER IN THE SEASON CHRISTIAN, THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

WE APPRECIATE THOSE COASTAL UPDATES.

JON, HAVE YOU BEEN FOLLOWING THOSE COASTAL GAMES?

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THOSE?

>> WHEN YOU GO TO THE BIRD DOG CAPITAL OF THE WORLD AND YOU GET TO SEE BENEDICTIN PUT UP A BIG NUMBER HEADED TO AUBURN, I KNOW THAT THE A AND THE U WORD WHEN IT COMES TO DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU, MS.

ROLE TIDE.

IT KIND OF FUZZES OUT A LITTLE BIT.

AND BENEDICTIN PUTS UP A BIG NUMBER.

AND HE LIKES TO SCHEDULE THESE TOUGH GAMES TO GET READY FOR THE REGION STRENGTH.

YOU MENTIONED -- CHRISTIAN MENTIONED TONIGHT THE ACADEMY AND THE TERRORS.

AFTER HAVING LOST TWO IN A ROW COMING INTO TONIGHT.

AFTER TONIGHT IT IS RICHMOND HILL, AND THEN STATESBORO.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WINNING YOUR REGION OPENER IS BIG, AND WE KEEP SEEING THAT AS THEME TONIGHT HERE.

>> ABSOLUTELY, JON.

WE LOVE THESE REGION GAMES SO MUCH.

AND WE'RE GOING TO KICK YOU OFF AGAIN.

WE'RE ABOUT TO WELCOME IN COACH LINY GREGORY AND TALK ABOUT THAT PEACHTREE RIDGE GAME.

COACH, ARE YOU ON THE LINE?

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

>> Caller: I CAN HEAR YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

63-0, A HUGE, HUGE WIN OVER PEACHTREE RIDGE.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE OUTCOME OF THAT GAME?

>> Caller: WELL, WE FOUND A WAY TO GO 1-0.

>> I LOVE IT.

WHAT COMES AFTER THAT 1-0?

2-0?

>> Caller: NO.

EVERY RESET IT AND 1-0.

ENJOY TONIGHT AND ENJOY TOMORROW AND COME BACK IN ON SUNDAY AND START GETTING READY FOR THE NEXT RUN.

>> YOUR NEXT OPPONENT IS AGAINST NORTH QUINET BUT YOU HAVE AN OFF WEEK.

WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE GAME PLAN TO GET READY FOR MORE REGION PLAY?

>> Caller: WELL, WE'RE GOING TO TREAT THIS UPCOMING FRIDAY LIKE OUR MONDAY.

WE'RE GOING TO GET A COUPLE EXTRA DAYS OF PRACTICE IN BUT WILL BE REAL LIGHT, MORE MENTAL AND JUST GETTING SOME FUNDAMENTALS AND SOME BASIC ALIGNMENT MISTAKES AND THINGS LIKE THAT FIXED.

AND REAL LIGHT ON KIDS.

GET A GOOD WEEK OF WEIGHT TRAINING IN, ALLOW THEM TO GET CAUGHT CUP ON ANY TESTS THEY GOT COMING UP OR EXTRA HELP THEY NEED AND GIVE THEM THURSDAY OFF AND THEN WE'LL BRING THEM FRIDAY MORNING AND THAT WILL BE OUR MONDAY.

AND WE PLAY ON THURSDAY AND THE FOLLOWING WEEK.

>> COACH, CAN YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE ON TRAVIS HUNTER REALISTIC AND HOW THAT INJURY MAY OR MAY NOT IMPACT YOUR TEAM MOVING FORWARD?

>> Caller: TRAVIS, HE'S A BIG PART OF OUR FOOTBALL TEAM, AND I THINK WE'VE GOT TO WAIT AND SEE.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT THE CALL RIGHT NOW IS THAT IT LOOKS PROMISING AND JUST MAYBE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND JUST A SPRAIN.

SO ALL THE X-RAYS CAME BACK GOOD.

SO WE'RE OPTIMISTIC RIGHT NOW, AND WE'LL GET HIM BACK, GET HIM TREATMENT, AND GET HIM READY TO GO.

THERE AND COACH, THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

WE'LL MOST CERTAINLY BE THINKING OF TRAVIS AND HOPE HE HEALS JUST FINE.

JON, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT MASSIVE WIN FOR COACH GREGORY AND COMPANY?

>> WELL YOU KNOW, YOU'RE LOOKING AT FOUR SHUTOUTS IN A ROW AND UP 32 POINTS DEFENSIVELY IN THEIR FIRST SEVEN GAMES.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT FOUR AND A HALF, FIVE GAMES ON AVERAGE.

FOUR STRAIGHT SHUTOUTS FOR THIS DEFENSE BUT YOU GOT TO CATCH UP WITH COACH GREGORY AND SOCIAL MEDIA WAS RUNNING RAMPANT ON AN AMBULANCE.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE GETTING READY FOR THE STRETCH RUN.

NORTH QUINET, MOUNTAIN VIEW AND MILL CREEK ON HALLOWEEN AND THAT ONE IS IN HUSHTON.

SO A LOT OF FOLKS LOOKING AT THAT GAME 10 RIGHT NOW AND I KNOW THAT HE WANTS TO HAVE TRAVIS AS HEALTHY AS POSSIBLE.

BUT THAT'S THE BIG STORY TONIGHT COMING OUT OF COLLINSVILLE.

>> NOW IT'S TIME FOR US TO -- WE WERE GOING TO HAVE COACH APT CHECK IN.

JON, ARE YOU STILL HERE?

>> RIGHT HERE, NICK.

WHAT ELSE IS ON YOUR MIND?

>> I WAS JUST MAKING SURE YOU'RE STILL THERE.

JON, IT WAS HOMECOMING NIGHT.

HOW DID YOU PARTAKE IN THE HOMECOMING FESTIVITIES?

>> I WATCHED, AND I CHEERED.

UNLIKE YOU DURING YOUR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS, I'M SURE, YOU KNOW, I DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN HOMECOMING AT LAKESIDE DE CAB MEMORIAL STADIUM.

AND I DID NOT PARTICIPATE HERE THIS EVENING.

I FEEL LIKE SAM I AM FROM DR.

SEUSS.

BECAUSE OF HOMECOMING, YOU ARE SEEING THE PERFORMANCE BY THE BAND FROM CARROLLTON HIGH HERE TONIGHT.

BUT TREMENDOUS POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE ALWAYS AND I KNOW THERE THERE IS A HOMECOMING KING AND QUEEN AND THERE WERE A LOT OF HOME COMINGS TONIGHT IN AND AROUND THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

I WAS AN INTERESTED OBSERVER.

SO GETS A THUMBS-UP FROM ME.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

>> JON, BEFORE WE SAY GOOD NIGHT, CAN YOU GIVE ME YOUR BEST HOMECOMING WAVE ELBOW TO ELBOW?

>> I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE HANDS HERE CAUSE I'M A LEFTY.

>> OKAY.

>> THERE IS YOUR PAGEANT WAVE.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

>> HORRIBLE.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, JON.

JON, THANKS SO MUCH.

>> FROM SOMEONE WHO NEVER HAPPENED IN HOMECOMING.

HOW ABOUT A PAPER WAVE.

SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

>> PERFECT TIME TO SIGN OFF TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA POSTGAME SHOW, PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY BUCKLE UP GEORGIA.

TO OUR CREW, TO OUR FANS, TO ALL THE TEAMS AND COACHES ALIKE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
