I'M SURE HE KNEW THAT ROBINSON HAD THIS BALL RIGHT HERE.
NO ONE WAS THERE TO TACKLE HIM OR NOT, ONLY LISTED AT 180, 5'9", CAM ROBINSON, PHYSICAL BETWEEN THE TACKLES.
>> AVERAGING 119 YARDS PER GAME WITH NINE TOUCHDOWNS , THEY WERE UNSURE ABOUT THEIR RUNNING BACK POSITION, COMING INTO THE SEASON, THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BY COMMITTEE, THE FORMER WIDE RECEIVER STEPPED UP AND WON THE JOB.
>> IT IS A SURPRISE FOR THIS OFFENSE, HE HAS MADE HIMSELF A PROUD MEMBER OF THIS TEAM FROM THE BACKFIELD THAT WE KNEW WHAT HE COULD DO IN THE SLOT AND OUT ON THE EDGE.
NOW DOING IT FROM THE RUNNING BACK POSITION.
>> PLAYING DOWN TO MAKE A MAN MISS, GOES TO THE PYLON, AND TOUCHDOWN, BUT THERE IS A FLAG DOWN.

HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS COMING BACK ON HIM.
>> OFFENSE, PFIZER PENALTY FROM THE PREMIUM SPOT.
REPLY, FIRST DOWN.

YOU ARE TEMPTED TO GIVE HIM THE BALL ON EVERY PLAY.
YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT TO HIM ON EVERY PLAY, BUT JUST THE FACT THAT HE IS ON THE FIELD MAKES THE DEFENSE WORRY THAT HE IS GETTING THE BALL.
>> FLESHED OUT ON THE POCKET, RUNNING FROM INSIDE THE 10, STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS, SEVEN, AND THERE IS A GOOD LUCK AT THE VISIBILITY TO GET OUT THERE AND MAKE A PLAY WITH HIS LEGS AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE REGION BANK STARTERS FOR BUFORD ON DEFENSE.

HEDRICK HOUSTON LEADING THE WAY.
>> BIG-TIME PRESSURE UPFRONT.
ROLLING RIGHT TO GET OUTSIDE THE POCKET, HERE, HE IS WAITING FOR CALEB DOWNS WITH HIS BIG RED ZONE TARGET .
A LOT OF GREEN COMING TO THIS DEFENSIVE LINE.
A LOT OF TALENT READY TO BLOCK IN THOSE SITUATIONS, AND HEDRICK HOUSTON IS THE LEADER UPFRONT FOR THE STEAM.
>> I THINK IT WAS JACK WHO GOT TO HIM FIRST, THIS WAS A 29 YARD ATTEMPT BY ULRICH, 6 FOR 12 DIG ON THE SEASON.
AND THE KICK IS BLOCKED.
KICKED OUT OF BOUNDS BY MILLCREEK.
BUFORD WILL TAKE OVER THE 20 YARD LINE.
29 YARD FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT BLOCKED BY THE BUFORD WALLS.
THAT WAS 21 , DEVON WILLIAMS, WHO GOT HIS HANDS ON IT.
>> RIGHT HERE AT THE END.
>> RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE IS McKENNA.
OR, NUMBER 9, NOT McKENNA'S.
>> A LO KICK, NOT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON WILLIAMS.
THEY WILL EXPAND ON GET A HAND ON THE BALL WITH A BIG STAND.
FOR THIS BUFORD DEFENSE.
THE SECOND RATED DEFENSE IN THE DIVISION.
WITH THOSE KINDS OF PLAYS, THEY HAD THE SHORT FIELD, HAD SOME MOMENTUM, STEPPING UP WHEN IT COUNTS.
>> NINE PLAY, 30 YARD DRIVE AND IT IS STALLED AFTER THE BLOCK FIELD-GOAL.
NOW I THOUGHT THEY WOULD TAKE OVER AT THE 20.
BUT, THEY ARE PUTTING IT WHERE MILLCREEK KICKS IT OUT OF BOUNDS.
PENALTY CALLED ON THE WALLS, GOING TO PACK UP ANOTHER FIVE YARDS.
MAY BE BECAUSE THE BALL DID NOT GET TO THE INSIDE.
>> A GREAT TIME FOR THIS MILLCREEK DEFENSE TO STEP UP AND MAKE BIG PLAYS.
SHORT PICKUP RIGHT THERE.
HAYNES FROM HIS CURRENT CARRY OF THE GAME.
>> GETTING OFF THE BLOCK, THESE LINEBACKERS WILL HAVE A LOT OF PRESSURE TONIGHT.
UPFRONT, THREE OR FOUR DEFENSE, THESE LINEBACKERS ARE COUNTING ON HIM TO MAKE THOSE KINDS OF PLAYS.

A BIG LOSS.
>> BIG-TIME PLAY FOR CALEB DOWNS, IT JUST USES ON THE SCREEN.
WATCH TO COME OUT OF THE SECONDARY, HE IS NOT HAVING ANY OF THIS RIGHT HERE.
DRIVING THE LANE, PERFECT TACKLE, THERE.

WAYNE, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR KEYS TO THE GAME.
>> Wayne: NEED TO MAKE IN GAME ADJUSTMENTS.
BUFORD ON THE DEFENSE LIKE TO RUN A LOT OF SCHEMES, THEY WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING AS THE GAME ON DEFENSE FOR BUFORD THEY WANT TO RUN THE BALL ON OFFENSE, STOP THE RUN , SO FAR SO GOOD FOR THE DEFENSIVE FRAME.
>> Matt: BEAUTIFUL IN ITS SIMPLE CITY.
THEY CERTAINLY HAVE THE TALENT TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.
THIRD-DOWN AND TWO AS WE START THE SECOND QUARTER.
>> ROBINSON, 3 OF 18 RUSHING THE BALL, THIRD-DOWN AND FOR.
BIG RUN BY ROBINSON, CHASED TO THE 35 YARD LINE .
20 YARD PICKUP.
>> Wayne: RUNNING BACK, MET IN THE HOLE WITH A PHYSICAL HIT THERE.
BUTLER KEEPING HIS BALANCE, IS ROBINSON, KEEPING THE DRIVE GOING RIGHT HERE, BIG HIT.
YOU CAN SEE THE OFFENSE OF LINE THERE IS HOLDING HIM UP.
HE GETS BALANCED ON A BIG FIRST DOWN CONVERSION.
>> Matt: ROBINSON ABSORBED THE CONTACT AND KEEPS ON MOVING.
Kevin MITCHELL, WITH HIS FIRST CARRY OF THE BALL CAME.
>> Wayne: GOT THE SENSE EARLY ON THAT WAS A BIG THIRD-DOWN THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND GET THIS OFFENSE ON THE STEEL.
YOU CAN CONTINUE TO GIVE BUFORD THESE SHORT STEELS.
NICE JOB THERE.
>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND 11.
>> Matt: GOING FOR THE HOME RUN, OUT THERE, CATCHES IT FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.
TOUCHDOWN, MILLCREEK.
46 YARDS AND THE HAWKS ARE ON THE BOARD.
GAME, BIG PLAYERS SHINING.
THEY GO ROUTE OUT ON THE EDGE, MAN-TO-MAN COVERAGE .
THE ROLLOUT, THERE .
FLAT OUT TALENT.
GOOD START COMING UP WITH A BIG PLAY FOR HIS OFFENSE OF TEAM.
>> Matt: ULRICH, IT IS GOING TO BE NO GOOD.
LIFTED OFF TO THE RIGHT.
SO, A TOUGH NIGHT FOR ULRICH, SO FAR.
>> Matt: GREAT JOB HERE, PLAY DESIGN, FORCED ON THE ONE-ON- ONE MATCHUP .
LEADING RECEIVER FOR MILLCREEK THIS YEAR, HE IS THERE GO TO GUY.
THAT IS A LOT TO ASK OF DEVON WILLIAMS, THERE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE FOR WOODS TO WORK IN.
>> Matt: WOODS HAS COMMITTED TO EASTERN MICHIGAN .
TOUCHDOWN CATCH FOR THAT SENIOR WIDE RECEIVER.
HE CHOSE EASTERN MICHIGAN BEFORE OTHER OFFERS, INCLUDING GEORGIA SOUTHERN, BUT, HE HAS BEEN THE GO TO GUY THIS SEASON.
>> Wayne: CAN YOU IMAGINE , YOU'RE GOING TO GET THOSE KINDS OF PLACE WHERE YOU TRY TO CREATE THOSE ONE-ON-ONE MATCHUP'S TO TAKE YOUR CHANCE WITH THAT 50/50 BALL .
A BIG- TIME SEASON FOR THAT YOUNG MAN RIGHT THERE.
>> Matt: HERE'S A LOOK AT THE GOVERNOR'S RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN SCORING DRIVE.
FIVE PLAYS, 56 YARDS .
46 HAVE BEEN COMING ON THE COUCH .
ULRICH, WITH THE KICKOFF, AND HAYNES IS STANDING DEEP , AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RETURN BACK.
THEY BRING IT OUT TO THE 20 YARD LINE.
>> Wayne: BOTH TEAMS, SO FAR, SETTING UP THE FIGHT TO KEEP THAT AS THE FIELD GOES ON, TRADING BODY BLOWS RIGHT NOW, SOME OF THE EARLY ENERGY HAS WORN OFF AND THEY ARE PLAYING FOOTBALL.
>> Matt: YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH THAT THIRD AND TO CAM ROBINSON 20 YARD RUN TO KEEP THE DRIVE GOING WHICH RESULTED IN THE 46 YARD PENALTY.
>> Wayne: GIVING THE DEFENSE A BREAK, YOU GOT A LOT OF GUYS ON BOTH TEAMS GOING BOTH WAYS .
STAR PLAYER ON DOWNS, THAT IS GIVING HIM TIME TO CATCH A BREAK.
>> Matt: LIPKE BRINGS THE OFFENSE BACK OUT, PASSING 34 YARDS SO FAR IN THE GAME.
JUSTICE HAYNES GETS ABOUT FOUR YARDS ON THE PLATE.
HE HAS NOT BEEN A BIG FACTOR IN THE GAME SO FAR.
THAT IS HIS SEVENTH CARRY.
>> Wayne: YOU START FEEDING HIM BACK TO BACK RENT, NICE JOB BY A FUTURE ELITE RIGHT NOW.
TEAMS COMING OUT ON THE SECONDARY TO MAKE THAT TACKLE.
>> Matt: HOW ABOUT THOSE GUYS GOING TO ALABAMA?
>> Wayne: IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES.
>> Matt: YOU TALK ABOUT AUBURN, LOOK AT ALL THE GEORGIA FANS.
IT BRINGS TEARS TO THEIR EYES, TOO.
THE TOP TWO PROSPECTS IN THE STATE HAVE BOTH COMMITTED TO PLAY FOR THE CRIMSON TIDE?
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE UPSET ABOUT THAT.
>> Matt: PASS RUSH, BALL OUT OF THERE, COMPLETING OF A 39 YARD LINE.
PARSON MAKES THE CUT BACK ACROSS THE FIELD, DOWN TO THE 35 YARD LINE.
GREAT JOB BY LIPKE TO GET IT OUT OF THERE, UNDER PRESSURE, AND FIND SAM HARKNESS FOR THE 49 YARD CATCH AND RUN.
>> Wayne: HE IS THERE TO TAKE THE HEAT.
YOU CAN SEE THE PRESSURE COMING UP THE MIDDLE , RIGHT IN HIS FACE, THERE.
JOSH ENGLUND ON PRESSURE, GETTING THE BALL OUT.
NO ONE IS OUT THERE COVERING SOMETIMES IT IS GOOD TO BE THE FOURTH RECEIVER, NOBODY PAYS YOU ATTENTION.
COMING UP WITH BIG PLAYS ON OFFENSE.
>> Matt: FIRST AND 10 FOR THE WALLS.
THE BALL AT THE 35 , BACK IN BUSINESS AGAIN.
JUSTICE HAYNES .
RUNNING DOWN TO THE 20 YARD LINE.
THERE IS NO PANIC OR ANYTHING IN HIS RUN, HE IS PATIENTLY RUNNING AND WAITING FOR IT TO OPEN UP.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB SHOWING PATIENTS AND PUTTING HIS OFFENSE OF LINE GET OUT TO RUN ON THE BLOCK HERE AS YOU CAN SEE, CAMERON IS OUT ON THE EDGE SECURING THE BLOCK AND YOU'RE RIGHT.
COOL AND CALM, ALMOST LIKE MARCUS ALLEN, BACK IN HIS DAY.
HE JUST LETS THE BLOCK 50 WITHOUT EXPLODING FEED.
>> Wayne: JUSTICE HAYNES, 15 YARD PICKUP.
37 FOR HIM TONIGHT ON EIGHT CARRIES.
>> Matt: RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE, CRISTIN BUTLER, HIS FIRST CARRY OF THE BALLGAME.
WE FIRST SAW CRISTIN BUTLER LAST YEAR , AND WE WERE LIKE, WHO IS THIS GUY?
>> Matt: BIG, PHYSICAL, THERE IS NO MISTAKE WHEN HE COMES IN THE GAME.
HE COMES TO LOWER THOSE YARDS.
>> Matt: HE HAS OFFERS BY TENNESSEE TECH AND GRAND LINK STATE.
>> Wayne: RIGHT NOW, PUTTING TOGETHER A SUCCESSFUL DRIVE IS BUFORD RIGHT NOW, >> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND 5 .
>> Matt: MOVEMENT ON THE WALLS.
>> Wayne: IN MOTION THERE YOU CAN SEE BY THAT OFFENSE.
>> Referee: FALSE START, OFFENSE, FIVE YARD PENALTY, SECOND DOWN.
>> Matt: THAT WAS THE FULLBACK, ELIJAH WILLIAMS BECAUSE OF THAT RIGHT.
FULLBACKS, AT LEAST IN HIGH SCHOOL.
>> Wayne: AT LEAST IN BUFORD, THEY DO.
OLD-SCHOOL RUNS FOR DEFENSE , THEY ARE CONFUSED, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT POSITION IS.
>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND 10.
LIPKE FIRES, CAUGHT, TOUCHDOWN.
SECOND BIG CATCH FOR THE TIGHT END, ELI TONIGHT BUT HE THROWS FOR 22 YARDS.
>> Wayne: EXECUTION BY THE OFFENSE OF LINE.
COMING OFF THE EDGE IS PRESSURE FROM MILLCREEK.
YOU CAN SEE AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCREEN RIGHT THERE, PICKING UP JAMAL ANDERSON AND JUST WIDE OVER THE BACKEND, TO THE TOUCHDOWN.
WHAT AN ANSWER BY THE OFFENSE FOR A BIG-TIME GAIN.
>> Matt: THEY LOOK GOOD.
FOR OF THE FIRST SIX OPPONENTS THEY PLAYED HAVE BEEN RANKED IN THE TOP 10.
5 ARE TO 7 PLAYING MILLCREEK HERE TONIGHT BUT THEY ARE BATTLE TESTED, AND THEY'VE GOT THE WINS AND THE PELTS ON THEIR BELTS.
TOUCHDOWN PASS , 1806.
BUFORD ON TOP.
>> FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IS BROUGHT TO YOU IN PART BY THE GOVERNOR'S RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN.
CELEBRATE LIFE, LIVE DRUG-FREE.
>> Matt: WELCOME BACK TO TOM WRIGHT AND STADIUM, FIRST HALF, 18-6, FOR THE BUFORD WOLVES.
SECOND EXPERIENCE TONIGHT, IT HAS BEEN AN EARLY START FOR JONES COUNTY.
TWO SCORES ON THE BOARD, THEY LET 14-0.
TOUCHDOWN HAS RESPONDED WITH A TOUCHDOWN.
SO, THE MARGIN HAS CLOSED.
BULLDOGS STILL TRAILING RIGHT NOW .
JONES COUNTY, THAT ONE IS SECOND QUARTER.
ALL NIGHT LONG, BROUGHT TO US BY OUR FRIENDS AT PARADE IS PEST MANAGEMENT.
BIG REGIONAL BATTLES GOING ON RIGHT NOW, 21-3 OF THE HOUSE, ROSWELL LEADING 28-3, BERKS COUNTY IN A NON-REGION GAME LEADING 7-0.
ALSO, RAVEN AND TO MATT STEWART.
>> Matt: ELI , TWO CATCHES FOR 46 YARDS TONIGHT BUT HE HAD ONE CATCH FROM 12 YARDS IN THE FIRST SIX GAMES OF THE SEASON.
CONTENT WITH THE FAIR CATCH ON THERE?, THAT IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF HOW BUFORD CAN BE DUE.
THEY HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT WEAPONS , THEY CAN BRING THE TIGHT END OUT WHO HASN'T BEEN USED HARDLY AT ALL THIS SEASON AND MAKE HIM A WEAPON, TONIGHT.
>> Wayne: THE OFFENSE RIGHT NOW IS HUMMING.
RUNNING SO FAR IN THIS FIRST HALF, FOUR PLAYERS FROM 20 YARDS.
WEIGHT WIDE OPEN BOSTON COVERAGE, NOBODY COULD SCREEN WITH HIM, BIG-TIME PLAYER, BIG- TIME PROGRAM.
>> Matt: I MEAN, WHEN YOU HAVE ONE CATCH THEY ARE NOT EXPECTING ELI TO GET THE BALL , TOO BIG CATCHES, ONE DOWN ON THE ONE YARD LINE, 22 YARD TOUCHDOWN CATCH A FEW MOMENTS AGO.
SO, MILLCREEK, BACK ON OFFENSE.
>> Matt: ROBINSON SHOWING A LOT OF FORTITUDE OVERPLAY.
>> Wayne: NOT SURE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH THAT RUNNING BACK EDITION.
THE SEASON STARTED, CALLUM ROBINSON WANTING TO PLAY SLOT, FOR A GUY LIKE HIM TO SWITCH OVER AND START RUNNING THE TACKLES TO TAKE THOSE HITS AND AN OUTSTANDING JOB.
>> AN EMPTY BACKFIELD FOR THE HAWKS.
FINDING A WAY TO GET CALEB DOWNS INVOLVED IN THE OFFENSE, DON'T THEY?
SECOND DOWN AND FIVE.
THROWING TO THE HOME RUN, AND , HE CANNOT COME UP WITH IT.
BLACKWELL, GREAT COVERAGE OVER THE SIDELINE.
>> Wayne: ONCE AGAIN, THE FOUR- MAN STACK AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN, AND EMPTY BACKFIELD TRYING TO CREATE THAT ONE-ON- ONE MATCHUP, TAKING A BIG SHOT DOWN TO JENKINS, BLACKWELL, IN TIGHT COVERAGE, CANNOT COME UP WITH THE CATCH.
RIGHT NOW, MILLCREEK WILL CONTINUE TO GET CORNERS IN THOSE ONE-ON-ONE SITUATIONS.
>> Matt: YOU GOT TO GET FIRST DOWN HERE, YOU CANNOT GIVE BUFORD THE BALL BACK, RIGHT?
PASS, HARD, TRYING TO GO TO WALLS, CALEB DOWNS WAS OUT THERE BLOCKING FOR THEM.
MISFIRED BY AIDAN CLARK AND THEY WILL HAVE TO PUNT IT AWAY.
>> Matt: WIDE RECEIVER SCREEN TRYING TO GET THE BALL BEHIND THAT , DOWNS BLOCKING OUT IN FRONT OF HIM, HIGH ON THE THROW, THERE.
HAVING TO PUNT THIS BALL BACK TO BUFORD.
A DANGEROUS TIME IN THE GAME FOR MILLCREEK.
>> Matt: ULRICH, ON TO PUNT.
JORDAN ALLEN STANDING DEEP FOR THE WALLS.
ULRICH AVERAGING 42 YARDS PER POINT THIS SEASON.
>> Matt: ALLEN WILL TAKE IT FROM THE 18 YARD LINE.
GORDON ALLEN.
THE PUNTER TO BEAT, GOT A BLOCKER, HE'S GOING TO GO THE DISTANCE.
TOUCHDOWN, JORDAN ALLENS, AS BUFORD.
>> Wayne: THROWING THE BALL IN OVER THE DANGER ZONE, DID NOT KNOW IT WOULD HAPPEN THIS QUICK, BUT WITH THESE ATHLETES OUT ON THE FIELD, THIS TALENT OBVIOUS, FOR JORDAN ALLEN INTO OPEN FIELD.
A BIG BLOCK THEREBY HIS DEEP AND.
HE FINDS HIS WAY INTO THE BLOCKING SCHEME, TOUCHDOWN TO PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THE FIRST HALF.
>> 24-6.
43 YARD POND.
82 YARD PUNT RETURN.
TICKET AT THE 18 AND TO THE HOUSE.
GOOD FOR THE 25-6 LEIFER BUFORD.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB HERE BY ALAN.
BLOCKER IN FRONT.
>> Matt: HOUSTON HOLDING.
>> Wayne: HIS OTHER FIVE-STAR DEFENSIVE END THE BLOCKING FOR HIM AGAINST THE PUNTER.
WHEN I SAW THAT, THIS WAS A DONE DEAL RIGHT THERE.
>> Wayne: MILLCREEK DEFENSE, MOUNTING PRESSURE AT ANY MOMENT CAN GO ON ONE OF THOSE DRIVES WITH THEIR RUN GAME.
>> Matt: 82 YARD PUNT RETURN, SOFT FORWARD ALREADY BEEN OFFERED BY YELLOW TECH GEORGIA TECH, YELLOWJACKET COACHING THERE TONIGHT.
>> Wayne: SO MUCH TALENT , NOTHING ABOUT THAT PLAY SO SOPHOMORE.
BIG-TIME PLAY BY JORDAN OUT.
>> Matt: RANKED NUMBER SEVEN IN THE NATION, THE USA TODAY TOP 25.
BILL GREEN CHECKED IN AT NUMBER 21, THAT KICK WILL BOUNCE OUT WOULD LET IT GO, THEY WILL BRING IT OUT TO THE 35.
>> Matt: THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING A FEW MOMENTS AGO MILLCREEK WAS ON OFFENSE, YOU CAN'T GIVE THEM THE BALL BACK.
>> Wayne: YOU CANNOT GIVE THE OFFENSE THE ROLLBACK.
>> Referee: OUT OF BOUNDS ON THE KICKING TEAM, RECHECK FOLLOWING THE FIVE YARD PENALTY.
>> Matt: SO THEY WILL MAKE THEM RECONNECT, THAT OPTION, RATHER THAN THE 35.
>> Wayne: ALSO SOMETIMES HAS BEEN USED BY COACHES WHEN YOU'RE COVERAGE TEAM HAS RAN ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE, YOU HOPE THEY ARE BREATHING A LITTLE HARD, CURVES AND CORNERS YOU CAN GET A BIG RETURN FOR YOURSELF.
>> Matt: ANOTHER KICK COMING DOWN AT THE 33.
THAT IS WHERE MILLCREEK WILL GO ON OFFENSE.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE HAWKS RESUME, BROUGHT TO YOU BY DBH TD.
MADE THE PLAYOFFS EIGHT STRAIGHT YEARS, QUARTERFINALS IN 2019 AND 2021.
SEMIFINALS IN 2015 AND 2016, THEY WERE 13-1 IN BOTH OF THOSE SEASONS.
BUT HAVE ONE TO REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, THEY DID IT IN 15 AND IN 16.
>> Matt: JOSH LOVELADY WHO WAS AN ASSISTANT ON JARVIS'S STAFF.
JARVIS, HEAD COACH OF THE PROGRAM FOR THE FIRST 15 YEARS, NOW HE IS AT ELBERT COUNTY WITH A TOP 10 TEAM.
46 POINTS PER GAME .
MILLCREEK HAS BEEN HELD TO ONE TOUCHDOWN, SO FAR HERE, TONIGHT.
>> THE BALL IS FUMBLED, THE WALLS ARE INDICATING THEY HAVE GOT IT.
NOTHING FROM THE OFFICIALS JUST YET.
AND THEY'VE GOT.
MY GOODNESS, MILLCREEK POPPED IT UP ON THE FIRST PLAY AFTER SURRENDERING THE 82 YARD PUNT RETURN.
>> Wayne: I'M SURE IT'S A LEGAL PROCEDURE PENALTY BY MILLCREEK OFFSIDES BY BUFORD.
>> Referee: PENALTY DECLINED, RESET THE CLAIM GAME CLOCK TO 6- 28.
>> Matt: ROBINSON NEVER GOT IT, HIGH ON THE HAND OFF.
OFF THE SHOULDER PAD, RATHER, LIKE YOU WANT IT.
TAKE AWAY FOR THE BUFORD DEFENSE TONIGHT.
>> Matt: FIRST AND 10, WALLS GO BACK ON OFFENSE TO SEE IF THEY TAKE A SHOT OF THE END ZONE .
NOTHING DOING RIGHT THERE.
YARDAGE ON THAT PLAY, TRYING TO RUN A REVERSE.
WHITE, FIRST OFFENSE FOR HIM.
IS IS INTERESTING, TYPICALLY YOU GO TO YOUR BEST PLAYER.
HERE TO REVERSE , NOT MOVED AT ALL BY THE DEFENSE, RIGHT THERE.
NICE JOB BY THEM STAYING HOME.
THE DEFENSIVE END COMING UP FOR WHITE ON THE NEGATIVE PLATE.
>> Matt: SECOND AT 17.
LIPKE IN THE POCKET.
49 YARD LINE.
QUARTERBACK SACK, BACK TO BACK PLAYS .
>> Wayne: ALL OF US HERE BY JOSH ENGLAND ON THAT TIME.
ANDERSON.
THE LEADING TACKLE, PLANNING A SIX, WORKING TO THE BALL.
DOWNS AGAINST THIS OFFENSE.
>> Matt: JOSH WIMBLEY SAYS JOSH EMILY REMINDS HIM OF KAREN, FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
APPROACHED KAREN WHEN HE WAS ON THE SOUTHWEST .
BACK RIGHT THERE, JUSTIN BAKER, ON THIRD AND 27.
>> Wayne: NO THIRD AND 26 ON THE DRAW.
ATHLETIC .
RUNNING AND POUNDING DOWN THE FIELD.
BAKER, ALSO A SELF MORE.
PICKED UP HER FOURTH AND SHORT.
THEY CAN TAKE THEIR TIME TO TRY TO PICK THIS UP.
>> Matt: SOUTHERN CAL, PENN STATE AND ARKANSAS.
>> Wayne: LOOKS LIKE THAT MAY BE A PENALTY BECAUSE THEY BRINGING THE BALL BACK?
>> Referee: REPLAY THIRD-DOWN.
>> Matt: THAT ERASES THE BIG RUN BY JUSTIN BAKER.
NOW THIRD-DOWN, LET'S FIGURE OUT THE YARDAGE.
THEY HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
THIRD AND 35.
>> Wayne: RUNNING THE DRAW OR THE SCREEN OUT ON THE EDGE .
MAYBE MAKE A BIG PLAY .
TAKING A CHANCE TO ENJOY THE INTERCEPTION, HERE.
>> Matt: LIPKE, COMPLETE ON THE EDGE.
WHITE DROPPED OUT OF THE 44 YARD LINE.
THAT WILL BE WELL SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN.
>> GOOD JOB OF GETTING THE BALL UP FIELD , STAR SAFETY ON THE EDGE, ONE OF THOSE PLAYERS FOR BUFORD, THE STAR ENDING UP IN THE TWO-WAY GOAL SITUATION FOR HIS TEAM.
>> Matt: TAYLOR BOOTS IT AWAY FROM THE 45, OVER THE HEAD, AND DOES NOT SAVE IT FROM GOING INTO THE END ZONE, 44 YARD TOUCHDOWN, BRING IT OUT TO THE 20 YARD LINE.
UNDER 4:00 TO PLAY IN THE HALF.
BUFORD LEADING 25-6.
>>> WELCOME BACK TO TOM WRIGHT AND STADIUM.
BUFORD LEADING 25-3.
COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES ON THE HALF- TIME SHOW WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT OTHER BATTLES HAPPENING AROUND THE STATE HERE.
IN REGION 178, IT'S A SEASON OPENER FOR COLBERT COUNTY BEATING CAMDEN COUNTY 28-7 IN THE SECOND.
ON THE SPORTS APP, FRIDAY BATTLE, JONES COUNTY LEADING 6- 0.
THAT'S A SURPRISE.
A LOT MORE OF WHERE THAT CAME FROM IN JUST A FEW MINUTES, MATT.
>> Matt: THANK YOU .
25-6, SMART ON THE SIDELINE.
IS TO BE THE COACH ON THE COACHING STAFF.
>> Wayne: THE ONE THEY USUALLY PLAY AT MBS.
INCOMPLETE, TRYING TO GET THE BALL TO JENKINS.
ALL KINDS OF COACHES, YOU HEARD JOHN NELSON TELL YOU BEFORE THE START OF THE GAME.
KIRBY SMART, GOT A BIG GAME TOMORROW IN TENNESSEE.
SO, NICK SABIN IS NOT HERE BUT HE SENT HIS EMISSARIES TO CHECK OUT THE TOP TWO PROSPECTS FOR THE STATE OF GEORGIA, CALEB DOWNS AND JUSTICE HAYNES.
THEY HAVE PLAYED SUPPORTING ROLES HERE TONIGHT BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN THE BIG STORY.
THEY HAVE BEEN PART OF THE BIG STORY, THERE ARE JUST SO MANY WEAPONS, WHAT YOU SAID, ALMOST ANYBODY ON THIS BUFORD TEAM MAKING PLAYS OFFENSIVELY OR DEFENSIVELY.
>> Matt: PASS INCOMPLETE, SETTING THE BALL ON THE FIRST CATCH OF THE GAME.
OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 40 YARD LINE.
>> Wayne: ANDERSON.
LOVELADY TALKED ABOUT HIS ABILITY TO STAY OUT IN SPACE.
THIS IS HOW YOUR FIVE STAR LINEBACKER SHOULD BE OUT IN SPACE CATCHING THE BALL.
IN THOSE KINDS OF SITUATIONS THAT IS WHERE YOU WANT TO GET HIM THE BULK OF THOSE ONE-ON- ONE MATCHUP SAT ON THE EDGE.
HE IS IN FOR THIS TEAM.
>> Matt: FIRST DOWN FOR CALEB DOWNS.
CROSSING MIDFIELD AND DOWN TO THE 35 YARD LINE.
YOU CAN SEE MILLCREEK GETTING INTO A DESPERATE SITUATION HERE GOING BACK TO BACK TO JAMAL ANDERSON AND CALEB DOWNS.
>> Wayne: THOSE GUYS WILL GET MORE TOUCHES THIS TIME COMING OUT OF THE BACKFIELD .
SHOWING YOU STEALS WHEN YOU THINK HE IS REALLY A RUNNING BACK.
THAT IS THE THING, WHEN YOU FLIP OVER, THEY LOOK LIKE THAT IS THEIR NATURAL POSITION.
>> Matt: QUARTERBACK SACK BACK IN THE 43 YARD LINE.
CLARK DOES NOT GET RID OF THE BALL, AND SACKED BY RYAN McGINNIS.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB , NOT REALLY SURE IF THERE , LOOKED LIKE HE FROZE LIKE A DEER IN HEADLIGHTS.
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE WANTED TO GO WITH THE BALL.
TACKLED IN BY McKENNAN.
>> Matt: ANOTHER HICCUP FOR APPALACHIAN STATE .
BARNES BEING CHASED, AND THEY FLY 38.
>> Wayne: WILLIAMS UP OFF THE EDGE.
YOU LOOK AT THEIR NUMBERS, ALWAYS ON THE QUARTERBACK, THE QUARTERBACK AND NEVER FEEL COMFORTABLE, JUST SITTING AT THAT SPOT.
THEY CAN DO A LOT OF THAT WITH JUST A THREE-MAN RUSH.
>> Matt: THIRD-DOWN AND 12.
TIME OUT CALLED BY BUFORD, THAT IS THE LAST OF IS HALF.
>> Referee: FINAL TIME OUT OF THE HOUSE.
>> Matt: YOU CANNOT LOOK AT THE BUFORD STAFF AND MEASURE THEIR PERFORMANCES, BECAUSE THE STAFF DIDN'T HAVE ANY PLAYERS WHOSE STATS JUMP OFF THE PAGE AT YOU BECAUSE THEY USE SO MANY DIFFERENT PLAYERS.
THEY ARE SO DEEP, NOBODY HAS GOT SPECTACULAR STATS, BUT THEY ARE ALL SPECTACULAR PLAYERS.
>> Wayne: DEFINITELY.
ROTATE, THEY HAVE AN UNSELFISH CULTURE IS WHAT STANDS OUT THE MOST .
DON'T WORRY ABOUT HOW MANY CARRIES, DON'T WORRY ABOUT HOW MANY SNAPS.
WHEN YOU GET OUT IN THE GAME THERE'S A STANDARD YOU LIVE UP TO.
>> Matt: BUFORD IS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING NO ONE HAS EVER DONE WHICH IS WHEN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN EVERY CLASSIFICATION.
YOU CAN SEE, 20 YEARS AGO THEY WERE STILL IN SINGLE-A.
A RURAL COUNTRY SCHOOL, BUT THEY HAVE GROWN AS THE CITY OF ATLANTA HAS GROWN.
SIX TITLES IN AA.
TWO IN TRIPOLI, ONE IN FOUR A, ONE IN 5A, THE LAST TWO HAVE COME IN SIX A, NOW THEY ARE PLAYING IN SEVEN I.
>> Wayne: SEEMS LIKE EACH LEVEL GOES TO TAKE A VOTE , LIKE, THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT.
YOU NEED TO FIND SOMEBODY ELSE TO PLAY.
THEY HAVE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB.
IF YOU NEVER TUNED INTO BUFORD YOU WOULD HAVE ALREADY THOUGHT THE TALENT THEY HAVE ON THE FIELD.
>> THIRD-DOWN AND 12 COMING UP HERE.
MY QUESTION AT THE START OF THE SEASON IS, CAN THEY WIN THE SEVEN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
MY QUESTION IS, WHO IS GOING TO STOP THEM?
>> Matt: THIRD AND 12 RUNNING THE SCREEN PASS.
DOWNS HAS THE FIRST DOWN AND FOR .
>> Wayne: TIME TO PREPARE RIGHT NOW WITHOUT HAVING TO DO IT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.
SHOWING POWER THERE AT THE END OF THIS , JUST A LITTLE COME BACK.
LOOK AT THE SPEED, THE EXPLOSION.
THE COUPLE OF PLAYS AGO, THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE BACK IN THE POSITION.
THEY LOOK LIKE A DOMINANT RUNNING BACK.
>> JAMAL ANDERSON GETTING A LITTLE TO BE UP THERE.
ATTACKS BY ANDERSON, SECOND AND ONE ON THIS DRIVE .
NOW, THE JAMAL ANDERSON MIGHT BE THE GUY WHO GETS THE ON SPORTSMAN LIKE PENALTY, AS YOU CAN SEE FRUSTRATION STARTING TO KICK IN.
>> Matt: BOLDEN RIGHT THERE, SNAPPING AT EACH OTHER, BASED ON HOW MANY STARTS THEY HAVE, THERE'S SO MUCH TALENT , YOU EXPECT THAT KIND OF MOXIE WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE KINDS OF PLAYERS BUT YOU GOT TO CONTROL IT.
RIGHT NOW, MILLCREEK DO NOT NEED PENALTIES LIKE THIS.
BAR JAMAL ANDERSON.
>> Wayne: I KNOW YOU CANNOT BEAT A TEAM BY USING CALEB DOWNS AND JAMAL ANDERSON, GIVING THEM THE BALL ON EVERY PLAY, BUT THAT MIGHT BE THE ONLY WAY MILLCREEK CAN BE BUFORD, IS FOR THOSE GUYS TO GET, YOU KNOW, 90% FROM HERE ON OUT.
>> Referee: UNFORTUNATELY CONTACT .
RESULT , FIRST DOWN.
>> Matt: MILLCREEK THERE, TYPICALLY THE PERSON IS A SOMETHING LAST IS THE ONE WHO GETS CAUGHT AND THIS TIME, THEY THREW THE FLAG ON BUFORD, NOT MILLCREEK.
SO, FIRST AND GOAL, TO GO.
HUGE POSSESSION FOR MILLCREEK TO HAVE A SHOT AT WINNING THIS GAME IN THE SECOND HALF.
BUT HAVE GOT TO GET SIX RIGHT HERE.
>> Wayne: ANDERSON AND DOWNS ON THIS DRIVE HERE, WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT, YOU GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET BACK IN THE SKIN, EVEN IF IT COST YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BALL.
>> Matt: HANDOFF GOES TO DOWNS, HE WILL TAKE IT IN FOR THE SCORE.
CALEB DOWNS, SIX YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN , AND THERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE, RIGHT THERE.
MILLCREEK PATH TO VICTORY, COMING BACK IN THIS GAME WILL BE, HOW MANY TIMES CAN THEY GET CALEB DOWNS THE BALL, HOW MANY TIMES CAN THEY GET JAMAL ANDERSON THE BALL.
>> Matt: RATE ZONE BLOCKING UPFRONT.
WALK IN.
>> Referee: TIME OUT, MILLCREEK.
FIRST TIME OUT OF THE HOUSE.
>> Matt: I THINK THEY'RE TRYING POINT PLATE THEY WILL RUN HERE.
NINTH RUSHING TOUCHDOWN OF THE SEASON FOR CALEB DOWNS, CAPPED AT PLAYS, 80 YARD DRIVE TO GET THEM BACK IN THE GAME.
>> Matt: HE'S A SPECIAL.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB LOOKING ON THE LINE, YOU SEE KIM ROBINSON WITH A LITTLE KICK OUT BLOCK , THEN THE RUNNING GAME AS I SAID.
>> Matt: IS IT JUST ME, I'M WATCHING THIS PLAY, AND I AM REVISITING MEMORIES OF ERIC DICKERSON.
>> Wayne: DOWN THE SIDE, IS NOT THAT BODY POSITIONING.
>> Matt: YAPHET HE LOOKS LIKE ERIC DICKERSON.
MY GOODNESS.
YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.
HE IS THE NUMBER ONE SAFETY IN THE COUNTRY .
YOU'RE WATCHING THIS GAME AND YOU THINK, MAYBE HE'S THE NUMBER ONE RUNNING BACK IN THE COUNTRY.
HE COULD BE WHATEVER HE WANTS.
>> Wayne: HE DEFINITELY HAS THOSE KINDS OF SKILLS.
I KNOW HE IS HEADED TO TUSCALOOSA WITH THE TIDE, A BIG DEFENSIVE TEAM, BUT THOSE SMARTS HE HAS SHOWED WITH THE BALL IN HIS HAND, DEFINITELY MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE, MAYBE I SHOULD SWITCH HIM TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BALL.
>> Wayne: THEY WERE CAMPING IN GEORGIA, THIS SUMMER, AND JOSH LOVELADY TELLS THE STORY, TALKING TO KIRBY SMART, AND CALEB DOWNS IS THROWING THE BALL DOWNFIELD, AND KIRBY WAS LIKE, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING, WHAT IS THIS GUY NOT DO?
GOING FOR TWO, RIGHT HERE.
>> Matt: SMART RIPS IT OUT THERE , THERE IS THE CONVERSION.
25.
25-14.
>> Wayne: THE GREAT THING ABOUT MILLCREEK AND THIS OFFENSE .
YOU COULD SEE HIM COMING IN MOTION , WIDE RECEIVER SCREENED OUT ON THE EDGE, IN MOTION ON THE EDGE, SAFE THEREBY CLARK, GETS THAT MATCHUP ANYTIME IN THAT SITUATION.
IS PLAYERS ARE COMING ALIVE, UNDERSTANDS THAT ANY CHANCE THEIR STAR PLAYERS KNOW HOW TO TAKE OVER THIS GAME.
>> Matt: SPEAKING OF THE STAR PLAYERS, HERE IS THE LOOK AT THE MILLCREEK TOP PROSPECTS.
CALEB DOWNS, THE FIVE-STAR COMMITTED TO ALABAMA, JAMAL ANDERSON , THE FOUR-STAR LINEBACKER COMMITTED TO CLEMSON.
MIKAEL WOULD , THREE STAR WIDE RECEIVER COMMITTED TO EASTERN MICHIGAN.
AIDAN BANFIELD, A THREE STAR GUARD WITH FIVE OFFERS INCLUDING GEORGIA TECH AND VANDERBILT.
COLE MULLINS, ALSO A BASEBALL PROSPECT DOES NOT HAVE ANY STARS YET BUT HE HAS BEEN OFFERED BY WAKE FOREST AND DUKE , AND VANDERBILT JUST THIS WEEK GAVE HIM AN OFFER.
>> MILLCREEK BACK IN THE GAME.
IF YOU ARE A HAWKS FAN, YOU'RE THINKING, WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE.
AFTER WHAT YOU SAW FROM CALEB DOWNS AND JAMAL ANDERSON ON THIS PREVIOUS DRIVE.
FUMBLED AND PICKED UP, AND THAT WILL WORK OUT WELL FOR THE HAWKS.
THE WALLS GETTING BACK TO THE STRATEGICALLY PLACED KICKOFF, AND THERE IS A FLAG DOWN, AS WELL .
THEY TRAP HIM DOWN DEEP AFTER A SHORT RETURN BY MADDOX .
CHECK THE PENALTY FLAG.
>> Referee: DURING THE RETURN, ILLEGAL PASS ON THE RETURN TEAM.
HALF THE DISTANCE TO THE GOAL FOR THE START OF THE FILE, FIRST DOWN.
>> Matt: MILLCREEK, I THINK, HAS TWO TIMEOUTS REMAINING, HERE.
WE WILL SEE HOW THEY USE THEM.
SEE IF THEY CAN TRY TO GET THE BALL BACK.
>> Matt: THE RIGHT TIME FOR THIS DEFENSE TO STAND UP WITH PRESSURE .
TRYING TO GET THE OFFENSE A SHORT STEEL RIGHT HERE BEFORE THE HALF.
>> Matt: THE BALL WILL BE PLACED DOWN AT THE TWO YARD LINE .
FIRST AND 10.
TACKLE RIGHT THERE OF THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
BIG-TIME PLAY BY JUSTIN .
>> Wayne: FORMER SAFETY LOOKING LIKE IT RIGHT THERE.
IS A CORNERBACK RIGHT NOW.
HIS ABILITY TO STEP UP IN THE WHOLE, HAYNES RIGHT THERE, TRYING TO GET TO THE OUTSIDE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, NOT SURE IF THAT TACKLE IS NOT A TOUCHDOWN.
WE KNOW THE KIND OF SPLIT SPEED THAT HAYNES HAS, RIGHT THERE.
>> Matt: ALSO A SWIMMING STAR FOR MILLCREEK .
THE SECOND PLAYER THAT WE HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR THAT HAD SWIMMING AND FOOTBALL COMBO .
MUST BE SOMETHING NEW, BECAUSE I NEVER BUT, HE'S A GREAT ATHLETE , IN THE POOL AND ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD AS WELL.
A MAN DOWN FOR BUFORD.
BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO I.D.
HIM JUST YET.
>> Wayne: I WANT TO SAY THAT IS 65.
YEP.
I CAN TELL BY HOW HIGH THEIR HANDS ARE TAPED.
SUMS UP, BUT HANDS UP AS HE IS PLAYING THOSE TACKLES.
WHAT A PLAYER HE IS.
ONLY BEEN PLAYING FOOTBALL FOR THREE YEARS, NOW HE IS ADMITTED TO LSU.
CHAIRS THE TIGERS OVER 41 OTHER OFFERS INCLUDING MICHIGAN, TEXAS A& M, NORTH CAROLINA, HOPEFULLY, HE IS OKAY .
RAIDED AS A GUARD BY ESPN , TOP 25 IN THE NATION.
6'4", 280 .
COACH BRIAN SAYS HE REMINDS HIM A LOT OF A FORMER BUFORD WALLS THE GREAT WHO ALSO WENT ON TO PLAY IN LSU, JAMAL ALEXANDER.
>> Wayne: 280, RIGHT DOWN TO THE NEXT LEVEL, LSU.
ANOTHER 15 OR 20 POUNDS TO PUT ON AT THE NEXT LEVEL.
>> Matt: HOPEFULLY HE WILL BE OKAY, AS THEY ASSIST HIM OFF THE FIELD BUT THAT WOULD BE A BIG LOSS FOR THIS BUFORD TEAM.
>> Matt: THE BACKUP ON THE DEPTH CHART AT LEFT TACKLE IS VINCENT FORNEY, THE SON OF CANAAN FORNEY.
>> Wayne: HE WAS WITH THE FALCONS FOR TWO YEARS.
A BIG JOB RIGHT NOW, STEPPING IN EARLY IN THIS GAME.
FORNEY WILL HAVE TO STEP UP QUICKLY.
>> Matt: LET'S SEE HOW THEY BRING HIM IN , HE IS THE NEXT GUY ON THE DEPTH CHART.
SECOND DOWN AND 10.
PASS OUT OF THE END ZONE , INCOMPLETE AT THE 43.
THE THIRD TIME THEY TRIED TO GO TO KJ BOLDEN WITHOUT SUCCESS.
JACOB PATTERSON, WHO MOVED TO SAFETY ON THE COVERAGE.
>> Wayne: BOLDEN HAS THE CHANCE TO KEEP THROWING UP HIS OWN ENDS AND, HERE.
EARLY ON OUT OF STEP THERE ON PATTERSON.
HE WAS NOT ABLE TO COME UP WITH THE CATCH.
>> Matt: 5 OF 9 PASSING FOR 113 YARDS.
BOLDEN HAS NOT YET HAD A BIG ON THIS GAME, OFFENSIVELY.
THIRD DOWN AND 10, THIS IS A BIG PLATE THAT THEY CAN GET THE BALL BACK IF THEY GET THE STOP.
JUSTICE HAYNES WILL NOT GET THE FIRST DOWN.
MILLCREEK IS GOING TO STOP THE CLOCK WITH ANOTHER TIME OUT?
FORCING BUFORD TO PUNT OUT OF THEIR OWN ENDS IN.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB OF RALLYING TO THE BALL BY THAT DEFENSE.
YOU COULD SEE HAYNES JUST ABOUT TO SQUEEZE UP OUT OF THEIR.
YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS HE IS WHEN HE GETS IN A FOOT RACE.
NICE JOB BY THE DEFENSE, NOT COUNTING MORE THAN ONE MAN, BRINGING A MAN OF HIS CALIBER DOWN.
ABOUT TO SQUEEZE OUT OF THAT GAP, ABOUT TO START RUNNING.
BLOCK THERE AT 21.
>> Matt: THE CO-DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR FOR THIS MILLCREEK PROGRAM.
BUT HAVE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB.
BUFORD HAS A COUPLE OF BIG PLAYS, ONE ON SPECIAL TEAMS.
THAT HAVE COME UP WITH SOME BIG STOPS, AND THAT WAS MAYBE THE BIGGEST OF THE GAME, BECAUSE MILLCREEK IS GOING TO GET THE BALL BACK AND STILL HAVE ONE TIME OUT REMAINING WITH A CHANCE TO SCORE AGAIN.
REMEMBER, YOU HAVE ALREADY , HE HAS HAD A 56 YARD FIELD GOAL IN A GAME THIS SEASON.
>> Wayne: YOU CANNOT FALL ASLEEP WHEN YOU HAVE A RETURN MEMO CALEB DOWNS, COMING IN WITH THE PRESSURE, HERE, FORCING THE POND AND GET THE BALL OFF QUICKLY DO YOU HAVE BUCK FOR YOUR RETURN MAN TO SET UP A BLOCK.
>> Matt: FORCED ENTRY, THEY RUN A FAKE AND PICK UP A FIRST DOWN.
JUSTICE HAYNES, CROSSED THE 30 STILL ON HIS FEET COME ALL THE WAY UP TO THE 42 YARD LINE.
HOW ABOUT THAT GUTSY CALL?
INSIDE YOUR OWN 10 , YOU RUN A FAKE PUNT AND PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN WITH A 33 YARD RUN.
>> Wayne: GOT TO CALL THE LOTTERY NUMBERS ON DISPLAY RIGHT HERE.
GREAT JOB BY THE PUNTER FAKING, AND YOUR BEST OFFENSE OF WEAPON GETS OUT ON THE EDGE AND JUST WILL NOT GO DOWN.
A BIG FOURTH-DOWN --I MEAN, WOW, THAT IS A BIG PLAY, THERE.
>> Wayne: UNBELIEVABLE THEY WOULD DO THAT.
ICEWATER IN THEIR VEINS.
FLAG TO BOLDEN, FIRST GOT FOR HIM, RUN OUT OF BOUNDS BY PATTERSON, THAT THE PENALTY CALL.
MY GOODNESS.
THE GUTS IT TAKES TO RUN THAT PLAY.
IF YOU FAIL, CAN YOU IMAGINE?
>> Wayne: THAT IS COACH RECOGNIZING THE MAGNITUDE, HE DOES NOT WANT TO GIVE THIS TEAM THIS BALL BACK.
>> Referee: ATTEMPT ON THE OFFENSE, FIVE YARD PENALTY FROM THE PREVIOUS SPOT, REPLAY FIRST DOWN.
FINDING A WAY TO GET INTO THE HALF WITH THE SCORE, 25-14 AND KEEP THAT MOMENTUM.
>> Matt: NO DOUBT.
HE SOUGHT EXACTLY HOW QUICK THAT WAS, AND HE REMEMBERED EXACTLY HOW MILLCREEK WAS ABLE TO SCORE ON THEIR PREVIOUS POSSESSION.
HE REALIZES THIS GAME IS FAR FROM OVER.
>> Matt: FIRST AND 15 FOLLOWING THE PENALTY MARK .
BREAKS DOWN, HE FIRES, NEARLY INTERCEPTED AT THE 50 YARD LINE.
NEARLY HAD HIMSELF A PICKOFF, HE SHOULD HAVE.
JOHN, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
>> John: WHEN YOU LOOK AT COACH , THE FAKE PUNT ON A FOURTH- DOWN, YOU LEARN SOMETHING LIKE THAT FROM PREDECESSOR JESS SIMPSON.
HE LEARNED, DON'T BE AFRAID TO TAKE CHANCES.
HUMAN TO TALK ABOUT A CHANCE, THAT IS TAKING A CHANCE.
LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED ON THE GAME PLAN, YOU END UP WITH A SUCCESSFUL FAKE PUNT.
>> Wayne: IT IS CRAZY, THE BALL GOES TO HAYNES, AND HAYNES OUT ACROSS THE 50 TO THE 48.
THERE IS STILL TIME ON THE CLOCK TO MOVE HERE, 15 YARD PICKUP, CHANGE TO MOVE, THEY HUSTLE BACK TO THE LINE.
CLOCK IS MOVING AGAIN.
THEY WILL SPIKE IT.
SHOT AT THE END ZONE.
>> Matt: WHEN YOU HAVE A PLAYER LIKE KJ BOLDEN OR ELIJAH WILLIAMS, YOU HAVE A FIELD-GOAL KICKER WHO THINKS HEY, MAYBE I CAN GET ANOTHER 20 YARDS DOWN THE FIELD .
>> Matt: THIS IS A GREAT JOB BY BOTH OF THESE TEAMS.
MILLCREEK HAS THE SAME THOUGHT PROCESS IN MIND , SQUEEZE EVERY SECOND OUT OF THIS HALF.
DON'T MISS HER SCORING OPPORTUNITY.

>> Matt: THE PRESSURE IS COMING, CHASED OUT OF THERE, LIBBY RUNS TO THE SIDELINE TO GET OUT OF BOUNDS.
WITH UNDER FIVE SECONDS LEFT, FOUR SECONDS LEFT IN THE HALF.
>> Wayne: INTO THE MIDDLE OF THIS OFFENSE , A NICE JOB .
YOU TALKED ABOUT AN ATHLETIC SCRAMBLE TO GET OUT ON THE EDGE, HERE, MAKING THE BEST DECISION , GET OUT OF BOUNDS, LEAVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME TO RUN ON THE PLAY, INTO THE END ZONE.
>> Wayne: PROTECTION HAVING TO MOVE AROUND, THROWING DOWNFIELD ACROSS THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
INCOMPLETE, THAT IS THE END OF THE HALF.
>> Matt: JACKSON WAS BACK IN THE ENZYME TO MAKE SURE THAT PASS IS BETTER DOUBT.
>> Wayne: ANDERSON RUNNING DOWN.
>> Matt: SOLIDLY FOR BUFORD.
JOHN NELSON IS HANDING BY.
>> John: COACH, WHEN WE WERE TALKING THIS WEEK AND YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED FROM YOUR PREDECESSOR, DON'T BE AFRAID TO TAKE CHANCES, YOU CERTAINLY DID THAT WITH THAT FAKE PUNT INSIDE YOUR >> Wayne: WE NEED TO RECAPTURE SOME MOMENTUM AND NOT GIVE UP ANY POINTS FOR HALFTIME SO WE CAME BACK IN TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.
>> Wayne: WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT FIRST 15 OR 16 MINUTES WITH A LEAD ON THE BOARD?
>> Wayne: I THOUGHT WE WERE PLAYING REAL WELL.
WE HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING DIFFERENT AT THAT POINT.
TURNOVER IN HIS OWN AND WE GAVE UP A LONG DRIVE, SO WE ARE PLAYING PRETTY GOOD, WE JUST HAD TO KEEP IT GOING UP, WITH MORE ENERGY AT HALFTIME.
>> Matt: KEEPING AN EYE ON THIRD QUARTER.

MILLCREEK WOULD HAVE CONSECUTIVE POSSESSION BECAUSE THEY ARE GETTING THE BALL FIRST IN THE THIRD QUARTER.
>> COACH SAID THAT HE RECOGNIZED THAT WAS NOT A GOOD TIME TO GIVE THEM THAT BALL BACK WITH THE MOMENTUM THEY HAD.
HE HAD TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO END THE HALF WITH THE BALL, BECAME A BIG WITH HAYNES, PICKING UP ABOUT 30 YARDS ON THE FOURTH AND THREE.
>> Matt: READY TO START THE THIRD QUARTER, AS I WAS SAYING WHEN WE BROKE AWAY FOR THE INTERVIEW WITH LOVELADY, 8000 CHICKENS SOLD PRIOR TO THE GAME.
SO, WHO KNOWS WHAT THE EXACT DEPENDENCE IS FOR THE WALKOUT, BUT STANDING ROOM ONLY AN HOUR BEFORE KICKOFF.

HE IS MOVING ALONG, CLOSED FOR 20 OR 30 YARDS, RIGHT HERE DRIVING , BALANCED .
>> Wayne: RIGHT THERE, WAYNE, ONE YARD EQUAL TO 17.
IS ALREADY CAN KICK IT ONE YARD DEEPER, INTO THE END ZONE, BUFORD HAS IT AT THE 20 INSTEAD OF THE 37.
>> Wayne: COMING ALIVE IN THE FIRST HALF, HE WAS QUIET IN THE FIRST HALF, NOW SHOWING YOU WHY HE IS HEADED TO ALABAMA.
>> Matt: 156 YARDS RUSHING, 24 YARDS PASSING RIGHT THERE, THAT WAS THE 37 YARD KICK RETURN.
>> Referee: FIVE YARD PENALTY, FIRST DOWN.
>> Wayne: YOU GET THE FEELING WHEN WE GET TO THE FOURTH QUARTER, WE ARE HEADED TOWARDS EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT OFF THE TOP.
CALEB DOWNS VERSUS JUSTICE HAYNES.
WHICH ONE WILL WIN THAT FOURTH QUARTER, RIGHT?
HAYNES GOT A BIT OF ADVANTAGE BECAUSE HE HAS THE 12 POINT LEAD.
>> Matt: BUFORD, UP TO THE THIRD 35 YARD LINE.
THAT WAS JUSTIN BAKER ON THE CARRY.
>> Wayne: BACK IN THE GAME IN THE SECOND HALF, WENT OUT EARLIER , COMING OFF THE FIELD.
GOOD TO SEE HIM AT LEFT TACKLE, HEADED TO LSU.
>> Matt: BUFORD HAS POWER FIVE TACKLES, AND EVAN FORRESTER ON THE RIGHT SIDE , A THREE-STAR JUNIOR WITH OFFERS FROM PENN STATE, FLORIDA STATE, ARKANSAS, AND ARKANSAS STATE.
>> Matt: RUNNING THE SCREEN, AJ GOLDING, HE GETS CUT DOWN AT THE 40 YARD LINE.
LITTLE GAME FOR BOLDEN RIGHT COMING UP TO MAKE THAT TACKLE.
>> Wayne: THOSE OF THE KIND OF PLACE I THINK BUFORD NEEDS TO DIAL UP , JUST WAIT UNTIL HE GETS THE BALL.
NO ROUTE TO IT, START TRYING TO GET HIS ATHLETIC ABILITY GOING.
COMING TO CLEAN UP THINGS ON THE EDGE.
>> Matt: THIRD-DOWN AT EIGHT.
>> Wayne: SLEEPING AT NIGHT AFTER THESE GAMES THE WAY HE FLIES AROUND.
>> Wayne: FIVE-STAR, NUMBER ONE RANKED SAFETY IN THE JUNIOR CLASS.
SCRAMBLING.
MAKING A SACK, BALL IS OUT.
WERE COVERED UP THE 26.
NOW, THE REFEREE IS CALLING THAT AN INCOMPLETE PASS?
I AM NOT SURE HOW THAT CAN BE AN INCOMPLETE PASS, I WOULD HAVE TO SEE THE REPLAY.
>> Wayne: NUMBER 25 HERE COMING IN.
>> Wayne: OH MY GOODNESS.
>> Matt: THAT BALL IS OUT AND GONE.
NOT GETTING THE BALL OUT, NEVER REALLY GETTING THE ARM GOING TOWARDS IT, P. >> Matt: NEXT INCOMING WITH PRESSURE, NUMBER 45 RIGHT THERE, THAT IS NOT AN INCOMPLETE PASS, THEY MISSED THAT ONE.
FAIR CATCH IS CALLED FOR, LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT'VE BEEN INTERFERED WITH, FOR A MOMENT, HE STILL MAKES THE CATCH AT THE 26 YARD LINE.
A TOUGH BREAK FOR MILLCREEK.
HAD THERE BEEN REPLAY, BUT WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN UNDER REVIEW.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB WITH THE DEFENSE, FINDING WITH PRESSURE.
OFFENSE BALL GOING BACK.
THEY WILL NEED MANY OPPORTUNITIES WITH BIG STRIKES AND PLAYS.
HOW EFFECTIVE, AS HE TALKED ABOUT, IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, WILL BROWN BE, HAVING TO DO ALL THIS WORK?
HE IS STILL UPSET, AND RIGHTFULLY SO, ABOUT THAT INCOMPLETE PASS CALL.
THEY WOULD HAVE HAD THE BALL INSIDE THE 25 YARD LINE , OR THEREABOUTS.
NOW, THEY TAKE OVER AT THEIR OWN 21.
>> Matt: TO THE AIR, HE TRIED TO REACH BEHIND HIM, GREAT CATCH.. >> Wayne: HIS NUMBER ONE TARGET .
THOSE GUYS HAVE A GOOD CONNECTION.
ANYTIME HE LOOKS OVER AND SEES THEM IN A ONE-ON-ONE SITUATION, BROUGHT IN TO STOP THAT RUN AND PLATE MAN ON THE CORNER.
THEY ARE DECIDING THAT THEY WILL ATTACK IT.
>> THREE CATCHES FOR 62 YARDS, DENIES.
ONE ON THE TOUCHDOWN CATCH, THEY GO BACK THE OTHER WAY, NEARLY INTERCEPTED AT THE 34 YARD LINE, BY WHITE.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY WHITE FALLING BACK INTO DISPLAY.
OFF ZONE ON THE BACK, YOU CAN SEE HIM GREETING THE QUARTERBACK, HI.
INCHES AWAY FROM INTERCEPTING THE BALL .
THAT WOULD BE A BIG PLAY FOR HIS DEFENSE, NOW THE THIRD AND 10.
THE SITUATION THEY CAME INTO THIS GAME, WANTING TO CREATE, NOW, CAN THE D LINE GET THE PRESSURE?
>> Matt: THIRD-DOWN AND 10, CLARK HERE IN THE SECOND PASS HALF.
THAT WILL BE ON MILLCREEK.
>> Wayne: FALSE START, ADHERE.
>> Referee: FALSE START, PENALTY FIRST DOWN.
>> Wayne: I THINK THEY INTERPRET THAT IS LINING UP IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE.
>> Matt: YOU ARE TYPICALLY USED TO THE ENCOURAGEMENT CALL COMING UP ON DEFENSE BUT BECAUSE THE OFFENSE OF PLAYER LINED UP IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE IT'S CALLED ENCOURAGEMENT.
THIRD AND 15.
>> Matt: LETTING IT AIR OUT, AND DEVON WILLIAMS CAME UP WITH IT, THE CORNER WAS RUNNING STRIDE FOR STRIDE ON THIS FOURTH-DOWN.
>> Wayne: WILLIAMS, THIS IS ABOUT 50 ON THE CORNERS.
YOU CAN SEE HIM RIGHT THERE, RUNNING BACKS ARE ALLOWED MORE TOUCHING WHEN THEY GET TO IDENTIFY THE BALL.
GOOD JOB KNOCKING THE BALL AWAY.
>> Matt: YOU SAW HIS TRAILING ARM, HE MADE SURE HE HAD A GRAB FOR THAT WIDE RECEIVER, TOO.
AND THE KICK IS OUT OF THERE, SOMEHOW, ULRICH GOT IT OUT OF THEIR, FUMBLED.
LET'S SEE WHO'S GOT IT.
BATTLED AT THE 41 YARD LINE.
ALREADY ONE FOR MILLCREEK AND IT IS MILLCREEK'S BALL .
JORDAN ALLEN HAD AN 82 YARD PUNT RETURN TOUCHDOWN IN THE FIRST HALF , MAKES A MISTAKE HERE, LATE IN THE THIRD QUARTER, AND GIVE THE HAWKS THE BALL AROUND THE 40 YARD LINE.
>> Wayne: THAT WAS THE RIGHT CALL FOR THE FAIR CATCH, HE JUST DID NOT GET IN FRONT OF THE BALL.
HE GOT HIS HANDS ON IT, AS HE WAS FALLING DOWN .
>> Matt: CALEB BUCKMAN, RECOVERED THE FUMBLE.
FIRST TURNOVER FOR BUFORD IN THIS GAME.
>> Matt: WE ARE SEEING THE HAWKS TAKE AN IMMEDIATE SHOT AT THE END ZONE, HERE.
THEY DO.
ON FOR THE HOME RUN, PENALTY FLAG IS OUT, DEVON WILLIAMS, THIS TIME, >> Wayne: THAT IS ENOUGH FOR WOODS, THE SITUATION FOR HAYDEN PARK, MIKELL WOOD, IN A ONE-ON-ONE SITUATION.
>> Referee: PRESENT APPEARANCE, DEFENSE, TENURED PENALTY FROM THE PREVIOUS SPOT.
FIRST DOWN.
>> HE THREATENS RECEIVER, NOTHING FANCY ABOUT THESE ROUTES.
IT IS THE BELIEF THAT HE IS A BETTER RECEIVER THAN YOUR CORNER.
YOU CAN SEE DEVON WILLIAMS GRABBING, ONCE AGAIN.
PASS INTERFERENCE RIGHT THERE.
DESPERATION FOR WILLIAMS ON THE ROUTE.
THE FIRST SNAP GOES TO CALEB DOWNS, HE GETS A COUPLE OF YARDS.
SO, THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY THAT MILLCREEK HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR.
IF THEY CAN CASH IN AND SCORE, WE HAVE A ONE SCORE GAME IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.
>> Matt: WHAT A BATTLE BETWEEN THESE TWO TEAMS PLAYING EACH OTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.
SECOND DOWN AT EIGHT, RUNNING THE REVERSE.
PARKED OUT THERE, BLOCKING FOR IT.
DOWN TO THE 20 YARD LINE.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY BOLDEN, NOT LETTING HIM COME UP TO THE PLATE.
OUTSIDE FORCE AND CLARK REVERSING JENKINS, BUFORD, NUMBER ONE, HE COMES UP, HE DOES NOT KEEP THE PLAY INTO THE INSIDE.
>> Matt: THAT IS THE END OF THE THIRD QUARTER.
32-20, BUFORD ON TOP.
AS WE HAD TO THE FINAL 12 MINUTES, MILLCREEK WITH A CHANCE TO GET CLOSER THAN THEY HAVE BEEN SINCE EARLY IN THIS BALLGAME.
>>> BROUGHT TO YOU IN PART BY REGIONS BANK.
GET BACK IN THE GAME WITH REGIONS BANK.
>> Matt: 32-20, BUFORD ON TOP OF MILLCREEK AS WE HEAD INTO THE FOURTH QUARTER.
OUR FINAL LOOKING BROUGHT TO YOU BY BRAINERD PEST MANAGEMENT AND JONES COUNTY HAS COME UP WITH A BIG WIN TONIGHT IN DUTCH TOWN AS THE GREYHOUNDS BEAT THE BULLDOGS 24-7 THE FINAL THERE.
BRADEN PEST MANAGEMENT, OFFICIAL PEST CONTROL OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.
STICK AROUND, WHEN THIS GAME IS OVER, POST GAME SHOW WITH HANNAH GOODEN.
HERO THIRD AND FOURTH, WE START THE FOURTH.
>> Matt: GONE TO THE END ZONE, FOURTH AND FOR.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB OF RUNNING THE LINEBACKER, JADEN OFF THE ROUTE BUT GETTING DOWNS.
JUST A MILLISECOND SO YOU CAN BREAK FREE.
HERE, FOURTH AND FOR, MILLCREEK ON THIS OFFENSE HAS DECIDED TO GO FOR IT IN THIS SITUATION.
>> SETTLING FOR THE FIELD GOAL HERE.
FOURTH AND FOUR, GAIN AT THE 16.
NINE OF 21 PASSING, 131 AND A COUPLE OF TOUCHDOWNS.
TIME OUT CALL BY BUFORD, HERE IN THE SECOND HALF.
FOURTH AND FOR COMING ON WHEN WE GET BACK.
>> Matt: TOM WRIGHT AND STADIUM, FOURTH AND FOR COMING UP THE LANE, WHERE IS THE BALL GOING?
>> Wayne: IN THIS SITUATION YOU GOT TO GET THE BALL TO CALEB DOWNS.
ESPECIALLY IN THE RED ZONE, ONE OF THOSE GUYS WITH THE BALL IN HIS HAND HE CAN MAKE GUYS MISS AND PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN WITH HIS NATURAL RUNNING ABILITY.
>> Wayne: DO YOU RUN SOME SORT OF A SCREEN FOR HIM?
HE MIGHT BE IN THAT BUNCH UP THERE, THAT MIGHT BE WHERE THE BALL IS GOING ON THE SCREENPLAY, LET'S SEE.
TRIED TO GET BUFORD TO JUMP RIGHT THERE.
A HUGE PLAY TO START IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, ESSENTIALLY, THERE GOES KIM ROBINSON.
FIRES IN THE MIDDLE, THAT IS A DOWNS.
>> Matt: NICE ROUTE COMBINATION OF TOP.
DOWNS, WORKING WITH A CROSSING ROUTE, HERE, MAKING SURE HE GETS , MAKES HIMSELF BIG IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT ZONE TO COME UP WITH SLANT ROUTE, NICE JOB ONE OF THOSE GUYS YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION ON WHAT SIDE OF THE BALL YOU WANT TO PLAY TOO.
>> Matt: BAR UNDER PRESSURE, HELMET COMES OFF, HE WILL HAVE TO COME OFF THE FIELD UNLESS THEY CALL A TIME OUT.
HOPEFULLY, HE'S OKAY.
YOU MIGHT HAVE HIT HIS HEAD HARD ON THE FIELD, THERE.
WATCHING THAT HELMET COME OFF.
WE SAW HIM LEAN FORWARD, NOW HE IS UP .
YEAH, HE IS HURTING.
>> Wayne: BIG PRESSURE ON THE FIELD HERE, YOU CAN SEE IT RECUSED IN WORKING AROUND.
>> Matt: HE GOT HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.
>> Wayne: MURPHY, RIGHT HERE AT THE END.
>> Matt: HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.
>> Wayne: BACKUP QUARTERBACK QUARTERBACK IS A SOPHOMORE.
THAT WAS CHRISTIAN BUTLER, NO ILL INTENT, HE WAS IS COMING UP TO MAKE THE TACKLE, AND HIS ARM HIT MARTIN IN THERE, TAKING THE SNAP.
>> Wayne: THROWING THE BALL IN THE SITUATION, FALLING ASLEEP WITH BUFORD, AND HE'S JUST GOING TO RUN THE WILDCAT AND RUN THE BALL.
>> Matt: RUN IT AND SHE WILL TAKE IT INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE MILLCREEK TOUCHDOWN.
>> Wayne: 11 YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN .
32-26.
>> TOUCHDOWN EARLIER IN THE GAME, KIM ROBINSON KICKING OUT, AND HERE IS THE TALENT, THE VISION, THE SIZE AND STRENGTH RIGHT THERE.
KJ BOLDEN INTO THE END ZONE, THE DIFFERENCE MAKER FOR CALEB DOWN.
>> Matt: BOLDED ON FOR THE PAC , AND IT IS A 32-27 CAME.
WE ARE SET UP FOR SOME KIND OF FOURTH QUARTER, HERE.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB ON THE LEFT SIDE CENTER THERE WITH THE ZONE BLOCK .
LOOK AT THE CUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DEFENSE.
WHEN CALEB DOWN HAS THE BALL IN HIS HAND, ALL THE WEIGHTS >> YOU GET THE IDEA THAT WHEN HE GETS TO ALABAMA BUT HE GETS TO DO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO, FROM A TALENT STANDPOINT.
HE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT.
SIX PLAY 41 YARD DRIVE AFTER THE FUMBLE ON A PUNT RETURN.
OPENING TOUCHDOWN OF THE GAME SCORED BY BUFORD.
BUFORD ONCE LED 25,006 IN THE SKIN.
POP UPTICK FIELDED AT THE 30 YARD LINE.
OFFENSE.
COACHES CAME OUT TONIGHT.
THIS CAVALCADE OF STARS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.
>> Wayne: THE RECRUITMENT DEPARTMENT ASKING THEM, DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO MAKE ANOTHER RUN AT THIS CALEB DOWNS?
WHAT A GREAT GAME.
NOT JUST FOR COACHES, BUT FANS , THE TWO OF US WATCHING RIGHT NOW, FINALLY TURNING INTO THAT HEAVYWEIGHT SLUG THAT WE SAW .
>> Matt: FIRST AND 10, DYLAN LITKE ESCORTED BACK TO KEEP IT.
AND LIPKE FALLS FORWARD.
PICKS UP ABOUT 4 ON THE PLATE.
FLAG OUT , SOMETHING HAPPENED AT THE END OF THE PLAY, NICK MADE THE TACKLE.
>> Wayne: HE RUNS TO THE SIDELINE.
>> Matt: MIGHT HAVE HAD HIS ANKLE TWISTED AS HE WAS TACKLED.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID.
I WAS GETTING READY TO SAY, I WOULD NOT PUT IT PAST A DEFENSIVE PLAYER TO TWIST AN ANKLE AT THE END OF THE TACKLE.
THAT HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO DO THAT.
>> Referee: FELL ON THE PLAY, PERSONAL FOUL ON THE FENCE, 15 YARD PENALTY FROM THE END OF THE RUN.
>> Matt: NUMBER 25, NICK ENNIS , YOU CAN'T GIVE UP THAT KIND OF YARDAGE.
IT'S ABOUT PLAY.
THIS IS NOT A PART OF THE GAME AT ALL.
CLEANING UP OVER THE YEARS, THAT IS INTENTIONAL, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOTBALL FROM THAT YOUNG MAN.
CAUGHT UP IN HIS EMOTIONS OF THE MOMENT.
>> Matt: PLAY THE GAME CLEAN.
40 YARD LOT LINE.
DUMPS IT OFF TO MADDOX, THE FIRST TIME HE HAS HAD THE BALL TONIGHT, BACKUP LINEBACKER, HE GETS TOUCHES INTO THE BACKFIELD, BUT IS HIS FIRST OF THE NIGHT.
>> Wayne: NICE JOB WITH MADDOX KEEPING IT HIGH TO THE TALL RECEIVER.
GETTING THE BALL .
KEEPING THIS DRIVE GOING.
>> Referee: TAKING A LOOK AT THE RECRUITING RESUME FOR MADDOX , AND THE HURDLE ON FIRST DOWN.
JUSTICE HAYNES HAD HURDLED FOR THE FIRST DOWN.
>> Wayne: TRYING TO JUMP OVER THE THE DEFENDER, PICKED UP THE FIRST DOWN.
>> Wayne: HAYNES FOR HAVING HIS KNEE UP IN THAT SITUATION?
I'M NOT SURE.
>> Wayne: WE WILL FIND OUT IN A MOMENT.
>> Referee: 15 YARD PENALTY FROM THE SPOT OF THE FOUL.
SECOND DOWN.
>> Matt: JUST TRYING TO GET THE FIRST DOWN.
OVER HIM.
NOT SURE WHAT THAT CALL IS RIGHT THERE.
I'VE NEVER HEARD OF HURTLING.
AS A PENALTY.
>> Matt: YOU SEE IT ALL THE TIME BUT APPARENTLY IN THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULEBOOK, IT'S A PERSONAL FOUL .
BACKED UP TO THE 44 YARD LINE.
>> Matt: HAYNES, ON THE KERRY.
THEY ARE TRYING TO STRIP HIM OF THE BALL, ANDERSON REACHING INTO RUSSELL ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND.
21 YARD PICKUP.
>> Wayne: THIS IS BECOMING THE BATTLE OF ALABAMA.
JUSTICE HAYNES MAKING BIG PLAY AFTER BIG PLAY FOR THIS OFFENSE.
YOU CAN SEE HIM AT THE END CARRYING FOUR OR FIVE GUYS FOR A RUN OF FIVE YARDS.
>> Matt: THEY MAKE SURE ANDERSON GETS CLEARED, NEED AN ESCORT OF THAT PILE OF WALLS.
>> Wayne: GREAT BLOCKING UP FRONT, AND NOW, JUST LOOK AT HAYNES, TAKING THE EFFORT TO MAKE THESE PLAYS .
ANDERSON PULLING HIM DOWN .
>> Matt: EMOTIONS ARE RUNNING HIGH.
FLAG JUST CAME OUT, AND YOU CAN SEE THE COACHES ARE UPSET WITH ANDERSON.
>> Wayne: DID HE GET EJECTED?
HE POINTED TO THE SIDELINE LIKE HE MAY HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT OF THE GAME.
>> Matt: YOU CAN SEE JOSHES ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE FIELD.
HE IS ON THE BEAUFORT SIDE OF THE FIELD.
HE IS UPSET WITH THE CALL.
WE WILL TRY TO GET CLARIFICATION.
HERE COMES PATRICK INGRAM, OUR REFEREE.
>> Matt: THEY ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT.
WE DID NOT SEE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED THAT WENT INTO THAT PILE ON THE SIDELINE.
>> Wayne: YOU COULD SEE JAMAL ANDERSON SAYING SOMETHING TO FOLKS AFTER .
HE WENT TO THE GROUND AND THE SIDELINE.
BUFORD FOR 15 YARDS.
>> Matt: UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT .
WE ARE WAITING FOR AUDIO, BUT UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT.
KEEP AN EYE ON THE PLAYWRIGHT HERE.
YEAH, HE RIPPED HIS HELMET OFF.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO RACE JUSTICE HAYNES HELMET OFF , AND THEN WHATEVER HAPPENED DOWN THERE IS ANYBODY'S GUESS.
WE CANNOT SEE.
15 YARD PENALTY GIVES BUFORD THE BALL AT THE 20 YARD LINE.
>> Matt: JUSTICE HAYNES STOPS, REDIRECTING HIMSELF.
DOWN TO THE 15 YARD LINE, HEADED TOWARDS A 200 YARD RUSHING NIGHT.
>> Wayne: BIG SECOND HALF, MAKING BIG PLAYS, BIG KICKOFF RETURN.
FINISHING RUN CARRIED BY THESE.
>> Matt: 17 CARRIES FOR 182 YARDS AND A TOUCHDOWN.
SECOND DOWN AND 6.
NINE MINUTES TO PLAY IN REGULATION.
BLITZ IS COMING, PASSING INSIDE THE 10, TOUCHDOWN, BUFORD.
>> Matt: HAYNES ON THE PLUS SIDE, UNDER CENTER, WATCHING IT, CUT BACK LANE.
JOSH ENGLAND IS GETTING UP IN THE LINE.
BIG-TIME RUN THERE.
>> Wayne: TOUCHDOWN RUN BY JUSTICE HAYNES.
91 YARDS RUSHING ON A 24 YARD PASS SETTING UP FIRST TOUCHDOWN LOOKS LIKE A 30 YARD KICK RETURN IN THE SECOND HALF.
HE HAS LIVED UP TO THE BILLING, VENTURA LIFTING THROUGH.
BUFORD BACKUP , RUN ON MILLCREEK.
WHAT A BATTLE WE HAVE HAD TONIGHT.
HERE IN BUFORD, THE SALARY RUNNING OF JUSTICE HAYNES TO BE THE BLITZ.
>>> FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA IS BROUGHT TO YOU IN PART BY GEORGE'S EMC.
SO MUCH MORE THAN ELECTRICITY.
>> Wayne: I WILL GO AHEAD AND USE THE R WORD, REGULATION MARCHING BACK TO 39-27.
AFTER THAT LAST EXCHANGE, YOU SAID A LOT OF FLAGS AND A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE PILE, THE MILLCREEK COACHING STAFF IS VERY X UPSET ABOUT THE ACTIVITY OF THE BOTTOM OF THE PILE.
THEY SAW A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON THAT WAS NOT BEING CALLED TO KEEP AN EYE ON OFFENSE FOR MILLCREEK ON THE UPCOMING DRIVE.
SET OF GLOVES ON, SO HE MAY SEE THAT IF CLARK CANNOT GO.
LET'S GET BACK TO IT:49 TO GO.
>> Wayne: THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION.
>> Matt: NO DOUBT, TEMPERS HAVE FLARED , IT HAS GOTTEN SHOULD BE BETWEEN THESE TWO RIVALS .
FUNNY TO CALL THEM RIVALS WHEN THEY ARE PLAYING FOR THE FIRST TIME, BUT, BECAUSE ALL THESE KIDS GREW UP PLAYING AGAINST EACH OTHER, AND WITH EACH OTHER IN WHEN IT FOOTBALL LEAGUE WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER, AND IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, IT IS A RIVALRY.
>> Matt: POP UPTICK, FAIR CATCH MADE, 33 YARD LINE AGAIN.
HAYDEN CLARK.
BACK OF THE HEAD ON THE PREVIOUS DRIVE.
>> Wayne: INTO HUDDLE.
CALEB DOWNS CONSISTENTLY HAS BEEN THE MAIN TARGET, ALONG WITH WOODS, TO GET THEM INTO THIS GAME.
>> Matt: CALEB DOWNS IS LINED UP ON THE HASH WITH THAT BUNCH SET.
>> Wayne: HANDLES OUT OF THERE WALKER .
NINE OFFERS INCLUDING FLORIDA, ARKANSAS, SOUTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA TECH.
WALKER IS JUST A SOPHOMORE.
GOT A MAN DOWN.
NIKO MAGGIO IS SLOW TO GET UP.
6'2", 250 SOPHOMORE , DEFENSIVE LINEMAN.
>> Wayne: MIGHT BE A CRAMP, TIME TO GET SOME WATER IN THAT BODY.
THE ONE THING THEY DON'T TEACH YOU ABOUT CRAMPS IS THAT ONCE THEY START, WATER DOES NOT HELP OUT.
IT TAKES A WHILE, TRYING TO MASSAGE IT .
STRAIGHT, THEY HAVE NOT LOST A GAIN SINCE SEPTEMBER 17th OF 2021 WHEN THEY LOST TO FLORIDA'S 3A NUMBER ONE, 7-0.
THEY HAVE 133 OF THEIR LAST 34 GAMES , DATING BACK TO THE 2020 SEASON OPENER WHEN THEY LOST TO NORTH COBB.
SO, NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE THE NUMBER ONE RANKING ON THE LINE HERE, TONIGHT, BUT ALSO THAT LONG 17 GAME WINNING STREAK.
THE WINNER OF THIS BALLGAME WILL BE THE OVERWHELMING FAVORITE TO BE THE REGION CHAMPION HERE IN REGION EIGHT, SEVEN A .
SECOND DOWN AND NINE.
RUSH.
WAS IT CAUGHT BY JENKINS AT THE 38?
LOOKS LIKE THAT WILL BE RULED A CATCH .
>> Wayne: NICE JOB BY DEFENSIVE END ELIJAH WILLIAMS, THE BOWLING GREEN COMMIT MOVING OVER AND UNDER ON THE LEFT TACKLE, THERE.
CAUSING PRESSURE, CAUSING HIM TO HAVE TO THROW THAT BALL QUICK.
DOWN THIRD AND LONG.
BUFORD TRIED TO FORCE ALL NIGHT LONG.
RUSHING WITH TREMENDOUS PRESSURE.
>> Matt: 1:41, RUSH INCOMPLETE OR DOWNS BUT CALEB DOWNS DOES NOT GET A FIRST DOWN.
FORCED RIGHT HERE, YOU GOT TO GO FOR IT, DON'T YOU?
>> Wayne: DEFINITELY .
YOU WILL NOT GET A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES, YOU ARE DOWN TWO SCORES IN THIS GAME, THE WAY THAT BUFORD HAS RUN THE BALL IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO PUNT.
>> Matt: REALLY SURPRISED THEY ARE PUNTING HERE WHEN YOU ARE DOWN TWO SCORES.
DOWN ONE SCORE, I UNDERSTAND.
THEY'VE GOT THE UNIT ONTO PUNT.
ON FOURTH AND 4.
>> Matt: BUFORD IS NOT GOING TO LET THEM RUN A FAKE.
>> Matt: ALLEN, BACKTRACKING TO A FAIR CATCH AT 19, GIVES BUFORD THE BALL , WITH 7 1/2 MINUTES TO PLAY.
I DON'T KNOW THAT I LIKE THAT DECISION AS A MILLCREEK FAN, BECAUSE, EVEN IF BUFORD GOES THREE AND OUT HERE, YOU WILL BURN TWO MINUTES ON THE CLOCK.
>> Wayne: YOU HAVE MET REALLY NOT SHOWN THE ABILITY TO STOP HIM FROM GETTING THE FIRST COUPLE OF DOWNS.
THAT IS ALL THEY WANT TO DO , TO TRY TO KEEP THE BALL .
>> Matt: FIRST AND 10 FROM THE 19.
JUSTICE HAYNES , HE GETS A SOLID FIVE OR SIX ON THE PLAY.
THAT PUTS HIM OVER 200 YARDS .
JUSTIN BAKER, NOT 22, AND JUSTIN BAKER ON THE CARRY THAT TIME.
>> Wayne: JUSTIN BAKER, ONE POT AND UP THE FIELD, A PHYSICAL RUNNER AS WE HAVE SEEN , HE IS EXCITED THOSE COUPLE OF TIMES HE GETS THE CARRY.
INTO PERSPECTIVE, HE IS THE BACKUP RUNNING BACK, HE HAS THE OFFER FROM SOUTHERN CAL.
HE'S THE BACKUP.
SECOND AT SIX.
>> RUN BLITZ ONCE AGAIN TO JOSH ENGLAND COMING UP ONTO THE GEORGIA LINE, MILLCREEK UNDERSTANDS THEY NEED TO STOP HIS RUN GAME.
26 RIGHT HERE.
CALEB DOWNS, AS WELL.
YOU CAN SEE BAKER , HE COULD HAVE KEPT HIS FEET, THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE BACK, EVERYONE THAT CAME TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
>> Matt: THIRD-DOWN AND 1 .
ALREADY BURNED A MINUTE OFF THE CLOCK, HERE.
MADDOX, GETTING HIS SECOND CARRY, HE HAS HIMSELF A FIRST DOWN.
>> Wayne: 6'2", JR., STAR.
7-8, >> Matt: HE HAS 15 OFFERS.
PENN STATE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN STATE.
YOU DON'T GET A BREAK.
SOMEHOW YOU'RE NOT CATCHING A BREAK.
>> Matt: FIVE YARD MARKOFF COMING UP AGAINST THE WALLS.
>> Wayne: FIVE YARD DISTANCE FOR THE BALL.
SELLING OUT, STOPPING THE RUN, KEEPING THESE PLAYERS FROM BUFORD , THE TALENT THEY HAVE, THERE IS NO ONE ON THE BACKEND TO STOP IT.
FIRST AND 15 NOW, MADDOX GETS ANOTHER CARRY.
>> Matt: GRECO, THE CORONER GOT UNDER FIVE MINUTES LEFT IN REGULATION .
>> Matt: A 12 POINT DIFFERENCE.
CAN'T GET ANOTHER FIRST AND AT THAT POINT GOT THREE TIMEOUTS ON FIRST DOWN AND YOU END UP HAVING TO BRING THOSE, YOU GOT TO GET OFF THE FIELD.
>> Matt: JUSTICE HAYNES NOW IN THERE.
ROLLING TO THE RUN.
STEPPING OUT OF DOWNS AT THE 44.
A REAL KILLER RIGHT THERE.
YOU RESET THAT DOWNS, RESET THE CLOCK AT 35.
MAKE THE PLANT, TWO MINUTES LEFT IN THE GAME.
>> Matt: OUT TO STOP THE RUN.
BUYING THE FAKE.
ROLLOUT .
>> Wayne: A LOT OF EMPTY SPACE OUT THERE TO MAKE THAT FIRST DOWN.
>> Matt: A 14 YARD RUN FOR WHISKEY RIGHT THERE IN THE STICKS.
AFTER ABOUT A TWO OR THREE YARD GAME.
THE DEFENSIVE TACKLE IS MAKING THE TACKLE.
>> Wayne: THIS WILL BE THE 12th PENALTY ON BUFORD, TONIGHT.
ITS OWN CHARACTERISTIC .
YOU TALK ABOUT -- ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT PRE-SNAP PENALTIES FOR THEM, RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE JUST IN A RUN BASED, HEAVYSET -- >> Matt: BUT HAVE BURNED 3:00 OFF THE CLOCK ALREADY.
>> Wayne: THREE TIGHT ENDS IN THE GAME.
>> Matt: THIS IS RIGHT IN THEIR WHEELHOUSE, RIGHT?
KILL THE CLOCK.
MILLCREEK CALLS TIME OUT.
THAT LEADS THEM WITH TOO.
ON THE HAWKS.
39-27, BUFORD LEADS .
WHAT A PERFORMANCE BY CALEB DOWNS TONIGHT, LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT GO IN THE LOSING EFFORT.
>> Wayne: BEWARE THE START, SPECIAL-TEAMS, THE MERE FACT HE IS BACK ON THE KICKOFF TO KICK THE BALL.
>> Matt: DOWNS, SEVEN CARRIES, YARDS.
>> John: FIREFLIES ARE OUT IN THE STUDENT SECTION AS WE ARE WINDING DOWN .
SOME OTHER FOLKS ARE IN THE BARN TONIGHT , WITH FINAL SCORES.
IRWIN COUNTY AND BIG REGION WIN TONIGHT, LAMBERT WITH A BIG WIN, THEY STICK ON THE HEAVY SIDE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE LEDGER, THEY ARE STARTING TO GET A LOT OF CREDIT NUMBERS.
THEY WIN 20-3.
SINGLE-A RANK NEAR THE TOP, CHRISTIAN HERITAGE, 42-41.
HERITAGE WITH A WIN IS A NOT A 42-12.
MORGAN COUNTY, 49-33 AND AN EMOTIONAL WIN TONIGHT FOR THE FOLKS IN JEFFERSON A RAINBOW CAME OUT OF FLOWERY BRIDGE TONIGHT.
BIG WIN FOR JEFFERSON, THERE, AS WELL.
>> THOUGHT AND HEARTS AND PRAYERS CONTINUE TO BE WITHOUT JEFFERSON COMMUNITY, AS THEY MOURN THE LOSS OF ELIJAH DeWITT.
TOUGH TIMES FOR THAT COMMUNITY.
>> Matt: SECOND DOWN AND SEVEN, ONTO THE 50.
ON THE TIME OUT.
>> Wayne: HE DOES NOT WAIT, TAKES SOME HITS.
HE GOES OUT TO VIRGINIA TECH, COMMITTED OVER 17 OTHER OFFERS, INCLUDING EAST CAROLINA.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH HANNAH GOODEN TO FIND OUT WHAT IS COMING UP.
>> Wayne: THANKS, COMING UP ON THE POST GAME SHOW PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY.
WE ALREADY HAVE COACHES WAITING TO TALK ABOUT THEIR GAMES.
BERKS COUNTY THE FIRST LOSS OF THE SEASON, 34-7.
IN THE REGION, SANDY CREEK OVER ATLANTA 24-12.
WE ARE FILLING OUT ALL OF OUR SHEETS AND FINAL SCORES AND STICK AROUND AFTER THE BROADCAST TO HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.
>> Matt: LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
JAMPACKED STELLAR POST GAME SHOW WE TOOK ON ALL THE SCORES COME HERE FROM THE COACHES, LIBBY COMMITTED TO VIRGINIA TECH.
VIRGINIA FARRELL AT MILTON LAST YEAR.
COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER.
>> Matt: THIRD AND THREE.
TIME IS RUNNING OUT ON MILLCREEK.
TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR MILLCREEK.
>> Wayne: DOWNS TO THE MINUTE.
>> Matt: TOSSED TO HIM AND HE HAS THE FIRST DOWN.
STILL MOVING, FINALLY, CALEB COLLIDE.
DOWN FOR THE 40 YARD LINE.
THAT MIGHT BE IT.
WE STILL HAVE 4:00 TO GO AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, BUT, MILLCREEK IS JUST ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS.
>> Wayne: BLOCKING BY THE LINE, ONE CUT OF THE FIELD, SHOULDERS SQUARE, PUSHING FILE, I WILL END THIS GAME FOR MY TEAM.
NICE JOB BY JUSTICE HAYNES.
>> Wayne: 19 CARRIES FOR 211 YARDS.
>> Wayne: HIS DAD PLAYED FOR THE STEELERS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
I DON'T THINK HE HAD THAT KIND OF SPEED THOUGH.
I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK.
>> Wayne: THAT IS WHAT MADE JUSTICE HAYNES CAN TO ALABAMA SO SHOCKING FOR GEORGIA FANS, BECAUSE, I THINK THEY JUST NATURALLY ASSUMED, SINCE HIS DAD STARTED WITH THE BULLDOGS, HIS SON, JUSTICE WOULD FOLLOW SUIT.
JUSTICE HAYNES ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS MAKING HIS OWN PATH , COMMITTING TO ALABAMA DURING THE SUMMER.
THE NUMBER TWO RUNNING BACK IN THE CLASS OF 2023.
>> Matt: MADDOX RUMBLED DOWN TO THE 36.
MILLCREEK MIGHT HAVE USED THEIR LAST TIME OUT.
THEY DID.
AT THIS POINT, IF THEY GIVE UP ANOTHER FIRST DOWN THEY MAY NEVER GET THE BALL BACK AT THIS POINT.
IT HAS COME DOWN TO THAT, NOW.
SECOND AND 11 COMING UP.
A GAME THAT DID NOT DISAPPOINT ON THIS OCTOBER NIGHT.
WITH A LOT OF EMOTIONS .
AS YOU SAID, MATT, ONLY 10 OR 12 MILES APART.
YOU IMAGINE THAT RIVALRY, THIS IS THE FIRST GAME THEY HAVE PLAYED WITH MILLCREEK SETTLING IN ON THEIR COMMUNITY AND HEARD THE WORD BUFORD, BUFORD, BUFORD, JUST WAITING ON A CHANCE TO GET OVER THERE.
>> Matt: COLLAPSING TO 7-0 OF THE SEASON.
THEY BEAT THE NUMBER TWO TEAM IN ALABAMA, THOMPSON, 38-7.
THEY BEAT THE NUMBER 10 TEAM IN NORTH CAROLINA, MALLORY CREEK 56-7.
MALLORY COBB WE HAVE SEEN TWICE, NORTH COBB RENT SEVEN.
WHEELER, RUSH AND LIPKE THROWS IT AWAY.
SEE IF THEY DROP THE FLAG ON BACK.
>> Matt: EFFECT GOES BACKWARDS IT IS A FUMBLE OUT OF BOUNDS.
>> Wayne: BACKWARDS PADS, VERY DANGEROUS.
VERY INTERESTING THAT HE DECIDED TO THROW THE BALL IN THAT SITUATION, YOU IMAGINE THEY WOULD JUST RUN THE NEXT TWO DOWNS, >> Matt: NOW IT IS SET UP WITH THAT PLAY GOING BACKWARDS SO DRAMATICALLY.
MILLCREEK IS GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO GET THE BALL BACK.
RULING THAT A BACKWARDS PASS.
A PASS FUMBLING OUT OF BOUNDS.
NOW IT IS WORTH DOWN, THEY WILL HAVE TO GIVE IT UP, COULD NOT TOTALLY RUN THE CLOCK OUT, HERE.
HAWKS WILL GET THE BALL BACK.
PROBABLY WITH MORE TIME THAN I THOUGHT THEY WOULD, BY THE TIME THEY KICK IT AND GET THE BALL SAT DOWN AND RUN A PLATE.
LIVING UP TO BILLING.
>> IF YOU ARE AN ALABAMA FAN, HOW EXCITED MUST YOU BE AFTER WATCHING THESE TWO GUYS GO AT DOWNS HAS BEEN SPECTACULAR ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.
JUSTICE HAYNES HAS RUSHED FOR 216 YARDS.
>> Wayne: OUT FOR ALABAMA, THEY ARE STILL ENGAGED IN THE GAME.
WITH WHAT THEY HAVE DONE ALREADY, THEY SHINED TONIGHT IN THE GAME.
>> Matt: JUSTICE HAYNES, NUMBER ONE PROSPECT IN THE STATE.
LIVE STAR GOING TO BAMA, THE NUMBER TWO PROSPECT IN THE STATE, JUSTICE HAMES, FIVE-STAR GOING TO ALABAMA.
>> Wayne: WHAT IS THE OVER AND UNDER ENDING UP THERE?
>> Matt: WHAT IS THE OVER AND UNDER THEY ARE IN THE NFL DRAFT IN 2026?
PUNT.
HIT AND DOWNED INSIDE THE 20.
SPOTTED AT THE CENTER.
THAT IS WHERE MILLCREEK GOES BACK TO WORK.
THEY SCORED TWO TOUCHDOWNS AND SOMEHOW GET THE BALL BACK AFTER SCORING THE FIRST ONE, THEY HAD TO:08 TO GO.
JOIN US NEXT ON FRIDAY NIGHT, WE HAVE ANOTHER SPECTACULAR GAME FOR YOU AS THE TROJANS, THEIR FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK, JUDY LEWIS.
YOU WILL LOVE WATCHING THIS KID PLAY UP AGAINST THE WESTLAKE LIONS.
DAVE YOUNG TERRELL, NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT HERE .
PASS COMPLETE TO ROBINSON, STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS TO STOP THE CLOCK.
BUFORD RAN FIVE MINUTES AND 21 SECONDS OFF THE CLOCK ON THAT DRIVE.
AFTER MILLCREEK HAD DECIDED TO PUNT IT AWAY ON FOURTH AND FOR.
>> Wayne: YOU GET SOMETHING DEEP, LOOKING FOR DOWNS, >> Matt: CHASE THROWING ON THE RUN.
IN A TIGHT SPOT TO CALEB DOWNS, HE MAKES A GREAT CATCH AT THE 33.
>> Wayne: KEEP EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF YOU, MAKE THEM EARN EVERY YARD.
NO TIME OUT.
>> Matt: SAW THE SMILE ON CALEB DOWNS FACE.
HE KNOWS NOT ONLY FROM THE COMMUNITY, BUT, HE KNOWS FROM RECRUITING SO MANY OF THESE GUYS, BUT WHEN THEY ARE OUT THERE MAKING THEIR VISITS, MEETING ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE, WHAT IS OUT OF BOUNDS, AT THE 44 YARD LINE.
>> Matt: DOLPHINS COVERAGE, YOU HAVE TO COME UP ONLY RUSHING FOR 3.
RIGHT NOW, MILLCREEK IN IT IS A TWO-MINUTE SITUATION, DOING JUST WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
KEEPING THE BALL OUT ON THE EDGE.
MAKING FIRST DOWN, THEN GETTING OUT OF BOUNDS.
>> Matt: FIRST AND 10, SLIDE DOWN BY CLARK, HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE QUICKLY, OFF AND RUNNING.
LOTS OF TIME BURNING HERE.
RUSH, CLARK.
DOWNS, WITH THE CATCH AND RUN.
GOING TO CONTINUE TO RUN, HE DOES NOT PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN.
49, LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A CRACK CRAP AND THAT WILL STOP THE CLOCK, HE WILL HAVE TO COME OFF THE FIELD.
>> Wayne: WELL-DESERVED CRAP, NO ONE CAN QUESTION HIM.
WE HAVE SEEN THIS YOUNG MAN PLAY AN ENTIRE GAME .
EARLIER IN THE HOUSE IS GETTING A MASSAGE DOUBT.
>> Matt: SO, THE QUESTION BECOMES, WAYNE, WILL WE SEE THESE TWO TEAMS AGAIN?
13 TOUCHES FOR 1:31, ON DOWNS TONIGHT.
MIKE AT AROUND SIX OR SEVEN TACKLES.
RECEIVING TWO YARDS AFTER THE CRAP, THE WAY THE PLAYOFFS IS SET UP, REGION FOR THE FINALS AND WE HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN BEFORE.
WE HAVE HAD TWO OR THREE TEAMS PLAYING IN THE STATE FINAL, NOT RUNNING UNDER IT, THE BALL WILL GO OVER ON DOWNS.
THAT WILL DO IT FOR MILLCREEK TONIGHT ON OFFENSE.
>> FIGHTING IN THAT GAME.
INTO THE REGULAR SEASON.
INTO THE REGULAR GAME.
>> Matt: WHAT A BALLGAME.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT BUT THAT IS ONE HECK OF A FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA RIGHT THERE BETWEEN TWO GREAT TEAMS .
EVERETT IS GOING TO RUN THEIR WINNING STREAK TO 18 GAMES.
IMPROVING TO 7-0.
IN THE DRIVERS SEAT TO WIN THE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOR A THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR, AND FOR THE 32nd TIME IN PROGRAM HISTORY.
>> Matt: A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE TEAM TO CONTINUE.
NOT JUST THEIR OWN WINNING STREAK INTO THE GAME , PERFORMING AT A HIGH LEVEL.
NATIONAL RANKING BUFORD.
>> Matt: NUMBER SEVEN IN THE MOST RECENT USA TODAY SUPER 25.
THIS WILL NO DOUBT GIVE THEM SOME BALANCE IN THAT POLL.
WE WILL SEE BRIAN BRADLEY PUMP FIELD.
39-27 VICTORY FOR THE BUFORD WALLS , THE NUMBER ONE TEAM IN THE STATE , 7-0 ON THE SEASON.
>> Matt: 46 POINTS, AT THE 27.
FROM THE LEGS OF JUSTICE HAMES IN THE SECOND HALF .
A DOMINANT PERFORMANCE RUNNING THE BALL.
>> Matt: AND GOES FOR OVER 200 YARDS TONIGHT.
JUST A HARD-FOUGHT BATTLE TONIGHT BETWEEN TWO GREAT TEAMS.
BUFORD, AS THEY SO OFTEN HAVE DONE , FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, GOES THROUGH THE CONGRATULATORY LINE >> Matt: THE WALLS IMPROVED TO 2-0, TEQUILA COMING UP FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE REGULAR-SEASON HOME FINALE.
MILLCREEK DROPS TO 6-1 OVERALL.
1-1 IN THE REGION, AND THEY WILL HOST COLLINSVILLE NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT.
DEFENDING SEVEN A CHAMPIONS IN A BIT OF A REBUILD, WE SAW THEM EARLIER ON GPB WITH A WIN OVER BERKELEY.
>> Wayne: THE THING ABOUT THIS GAME TONIGHT, TOO, BUFORD HAS A LOT TO PROVE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STILL QUESTIONING HOW THEY CAN PLAY AT THIS LEVEL .
THEY ARE USED TO PLAYING AT A LOWER LEVEL, WITH NOT AS MUCH DEPTH .
>> Matt: FUTURE ALABAMA TEAMMATE .
BOY, THOSE GUYS PLAYED INDIVIDUALLY GREAT BALLGAME TONIGHT, TOUGH TO TAKE A LOSS, BUT MILLCREEK HAS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF TONIGHT.
CERTAINLY, BUFORD PLAYS ANOTHER OUTSTANDING GAME AS WE HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THE STANDARD THAT HAS SET IN THAT PROGRAM.
THE BEST IN THE STATE, MORE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS THAN STATE HISTORY, BUT, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT HERE IN 2022, BUFORD IS THE NUMBER ONE PROGRAM IN THE STATE.
JOHN NELSON HAS GOT IT SET UP WE ARE GETTING READY TO SEND IT OVER TO HIM WITH OUR GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME.
NELLY?
CHECK UP WITH COACH FIRST, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I NOTICED IN THE HANDSHAKE LINE WAS THAT YOU GAVE DICKIE MAY ONE OF THE BIGGEST BEAR HUGS I HAVE EVER SEEN.
ONE OF YOUR MENTORS, ESPECIALLY, WHEN IT COMES TO DEFENSE, TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH HIM, TONIGHT, >> SHARING WITH MICHAEL EVERY DAY.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE, HE GREW ME UP AS A COACH.
>> John: WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS GAME TONIGHT, EBBS AND FLOWS AND BACK AND FORTH, AND THEN IT JUST CAME DOWN TO A LOT IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, BREAKDOWN THE FOURTH QUARTER FOR ME, BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSE, AND THEN THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF TIME WERE IT GOT DISTANCE AND CLOSE ALL OVER AGAIN.
>> AND LET MY BOYS GOT A TASTE OF IT.
A COUPLE OF TIMES WE ALREADY HAD BUT PLAYING A RIVALRY GAME LIKE THAT TO STEP UP, IF WE HAD GOTTEN OUT WITH A WIN WE COULD PLAY SET OURSELVES UP FOR THE SEASON BUT WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
WE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO, I THINK WE PLAYED A GOOD GAME TONIGHT.
>> THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
TIME TO TAG OUT.
JUSTIN, YOUR TURN.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WE GOT THE HAT, LET ME FIX THE TOWEL THEREFORE YOU.
LET'S WORK ON THE TOWEL HERE.
MAKE SURE THE LOGO MATCHING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
THERE WE GO.
WE WILL FIGURE IT OUT.
THERE WE GO.
AS WE KNOW TAG IN JUSTICE HAYNES, WHAT WAS IT LIKE OUT THERE TONIGHT?
TO TOP 20 TEAMS NATIONALLY GOING AFTER IT, ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND CALEB IS PRETTY TIGHT, WHAT WAS IT LIKE OUT THERE FOR YOU TONIGHT?
>> I GOT TO GIVE THANKS TO MY OFFENSE OF LINE, QUARTERBACK HAD A GREAT GAME, HE HAD TWO TOUCHDOWNS AS WELL.
RECEIVERS LOOKING DOWNFIELD, DEFENSE PLAYED GREAT.
BUT, GOING BACK TO YOUR QUESTION, WE ARE GOOD FRIENDS BUT ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD, THIS WEEK, I WAS NOT FRIENDS WITH HIM AT ALL.
WITH HIM AS A PLAYER, AND THEY PLAYED A WELL THOUGHT GAME.
WE ARE FORTUNATE TO COME OUT ON TOP.
>> John: LET ME BRAG ON YOUR OFFENSE OF LINE HERE.
YOU HAD THE LONG TOUCHDOWN LINE WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU SENT FOURTH OR FIFTH GEAR, 30 YARDS TO GO.
WHAT IS IT LIKE RUNNING BEHIND THOSE GUYS , KNOWING THAT THE HOLES ARE GOING TO BE THERE.
>> IT'S ELECTRIC.
MY LEFT TACKLE IN MY RIGHT TACKLE ARE WORKING EVERY TIME, THEY ARE ALWAYS WORKING, BIG WINNING REGION, 2-0, A LOT OF FOLKS ARE LOOKING AT YOU NATIONALLY AND ALL THAT KIND OF WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE RIGHT NOW?
>> I THINK WE TOOK STEPS THIS WEEK, COACH WILL TELL YOU, TOO, WE HAVE NOT PLAYED OUR BEST FOOTBALL YET.
WE CONTINUE, WE WANT TO PEEK AT THE RIGHT TIME, GETTING BETTER EACH WEEK AND I THINK WE TOOK A DIRECTION THIS WEEK, IMPACTED IN THIS GAME, AND GOT TO CONTINUE TO GROW.
>> 22 CARRIES , JUSTICE HAYNES BECAUSE HE HAS THE HAT AND THE TOWEL WHICH MEANS ONLY ONE THING, GEORGIA COTTON COMMISSION PLAYER OF THE GAME, THANKS FOR HANGING OUT.
>> A BIG WIN FOR BUFORD TONIGHT, WHAT'S SEND IT BACK TO 264 BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING THAT MUCH CLOSER TO THE POST GAME SHOW AREN'T WE?
>> WE ARE INDEED.
>> A REMINDER ONCE AGAIN, NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL FRIDAY IN GEORGIA COMING TO YOU FROM ATLANTA.
IT IS A BIG REGION TO BATTLE, CARROLLTON TROJANS TAKING ON THE LIENS, A TON OF TALENT ON THE FIELD NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT, LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AFTER RECRUITING 2022.
SO, YOU GOT TO HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WONDERING IF BUFORD CAN PLAY IN 780 YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS?
>> NO DOUBTS.
THEY SHOWED NO WEAKNESS THAT THEY WON'T BE PLAYING FOR ANOTHER TITLE HERE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
>> IN DECEMBER, A CONSECUTIVE STATE TITLE, CONVINCING 39-27 VICTORY, TONIGHT, OVER NUMBER THREE IN UNDEFEATED, MILLCREEK AS THE WALLS IMPROVED TO 7-0 ON THE SEASON, AND JUSTICE HAYNES GOES FOR OVER 200 YARDS AND THE FIVE-STAR ALABAMA COMET ALONG WITH CALEB DOWNS, ANOTHER FIVE- STAR ALABAMA COMET ON THE SHOW.
NOW FOR WAYNE GANDY AND OUR ENTIRE TEAM, I'M MATT STEWART, SO LONG FROM BUFORD.
THE POST GAME SHOW WITH HANNAH GOODEN AND JOHN NELSON IS ABSOLUTELY NEXT.
>>> FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA IS PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY.
BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.
>>> WELCOME TO THE POST GAME SHOW PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNORS OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY REMINDING YOU TO BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.
I AM HANNAH GOODEN.
IF YOU JUST WATCHED WE HAD A WILD GAME.
REGION EIGHT, SEVEN A MATCHUP BETWEEN MILLCREEK AND BUFORD, THE WALLS PULLED IT OUT 39-27 TOM RYAN STADIUM FOR THEIR HOMECOMING WHEN.
A FAVORITE TO WIN THE REGION ONCE AGAIN.
THIS ONE WAS BACK AND FORTH, AND BUFORD FINALLY PULLED AWAY IN THE FOURTH, I CANNOT WAIT TO TALK TO MY PARTNER, JOHN NELSON ABOUT THAT ONE.
FIRST, WE HAVE GOT TO CHECK IN WITH COACHES ALL AROUND THE STATE.
A, JOHN.
LET ME GET YOUR QUICK THOUGHTS ON THE GAME REALLY QUICK.
>> TREMENDOUS WORK.
WE HAVE SEEN WHY BOTH OF THESE TEAMS ARE RANKED TOP 20 IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IT COMES TO BUFORD AND MILLCREEK.
WE CAN SEE THAT THE ATHLETES WE HAVE BEEN FOCUSING ON, THANK HALF WHEN WE ARE RECRUITING 2021 AND 2022.
WE GET A LOOK AT CALEB DOWNS, WE GOT TO SEE JUSTICE HAYNES UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.
NORTH OF 200 YARDS, STELLAR WORK BY BOTH OF THESE TEAMS.
I KNOW A LOT OF FOLKS ARE EXPECTING DEEP PLAYOFF RUN SYMBOLS.
>> THANKS.
MUCH MORE TO TALK ABOUT.
JUSTICE HAYNES, WHAT A NIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO NORTH GEORGIA.
THERE WAS A BIG REGION EIGHT DIVISION ONE SINGLE A MATCHUP TONIGHT.
RAVEN COUNTY HANDED ELBERT COUNTY ITS FIRST LOSS OF THIS SEASON.
RAVEN COUNTY GOES 8-0 , 1-0 IN REGION PLAY.
REGION OPENER, WE HAVE GOT MICHAEL DAVIS HERE, CALLING UNIT, COACH, I WANT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT THIS GAME, CALLING IN FROM THE BUS.
TELL ME ABOUT WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR TEAM TONIGHT, COACH.
>> IN THAT ENVIRONMENT, WE PLAYED A LOT ON THE ROAD THIS YEAR, WE ARE READY TO GO HOME.
BUT, WE WERE STRUGGLING A BIT OFFENSIVELY, WE GOT MORE OFFENSE IN THE SECOND HALF.
>> CODE, LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO FINALLY BE IN REGION PLAY, ONE OF THE FINAL REGIONS TO ACTUALLY GET INTO GAMES WHERE YOU GET TO DECIDE SEATING FOR THE THIRD SEASON.
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO FINALLY PLAY A REGION GAME?
>> IT'S NICE TO PLAY SOMEBODY WITHIN THREE HOURS.
FOR ALL THE ROAD MILES WE HAVE PUT ON THIS YEAR, BUT YEAH, WE WERE FORTUNATE 7-0 RIGHT OUT OF THE CHUTE, AND TOAST IS A REALLY GOOD JOB, THERE.
WE CAME OUT TO PLAY REALLY GOOD.
>> FINAL SCORE, 41-21.
CODE, WE'VE GOT TO GIVE YOUR PLAYERS A SHUTOUT BEHIND YOU PICK WHICH BUS ARE YOU ON?
>> I DIDN'T GET A SHOUT OUT TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW.
GIBSON .
THE ALL-TIME GEORGIA RECEIVING RECORD, TONIGHT .
>> AWESOME, COACH, CONGRATULATIONS I THINK WE ARE LOSING YOU, COACH.
BAD SIGNAL THERE.
NORTH GEORGIA, WE WILL LET YOU GO.
TO GET HIMSELF.
GET HOME SAFE.
>> BRINGING JOHN BACK IN.
WHAT A WIN.
THAT SCORE WAS PRETTY SURPRISING, TO ME.
>> YEAH.
I KNOW THAT A LOT OF US ANTICIPATED THAT THESE , FROM WHAT COACH IS ECHOING, GIBSON IS ONE OF THE TWO TALENTS IN THE QUARTERBACK, FOR GIBSON TO GET THE STATE RECORD, WHEN IT COMES TO RECEIVING , A TREMENDOUS FEAT.
THINK ABOUT IT.
RIGHT NOW, THEY STILL HAVE TWO GAMES TO GO, AND JADEN SET THE RECORD, I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, WE KNOW A LOT OF TEAMS ARE ANTICIPATING, A LOT OF FOLKS ARE ANTICIPATING RAVEN COUNTY TO MAKE JADEN GIBSON ON THE OFFENSE ON THE OTHER END IF I AM DOING MY MATH RIGHT, IT IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS YEAR IN EIGHT GAMES, IN A WINS, THAT MICHAEL DAVIS OF RAVEN COUNTY HAS SCORED NORTH OF 40 POINTS.
SO, THEY ARE ABLE TO WIN GAMES IN BOTH WAYS.
THEY ARE NOT OUTSCORING FOLKS IN SOME INSTANCES, ONLY BEATING STEPHENS COUNTY, A VERY TOUGH STEPHENS COUNTY TEAM 14-7.
BEATING ST. FRANCIS BY 3, FELLOWSHIP BY 5, FELLOWSHIP ACADEMY BY 2 SCORES BUT THEY ARE WINNING BIG AND WINNING CLOSE.
>> RAVEN COUNTY REMAINS UNDEFEATED, RANKED ONCE AGAIN IN THE UPCOMING BOWL.
WE WILL CHECK BACK IN WITH YOU IN JUST A SECOND WE HAVE ANOTHER COACH WAITING FOR US.
SANDY CREEK VERSUS CARVER ATLANTA.
THIS ONE IS REGION FIVE, SANDY CREEK GOES 7-1.
1-0 IN REGION PLAY, ANOTHER REGION OPENER TONIGHT.
COACH, BRETT GARVIN IS HERE TO TALK TO US ABOUT THE FINAL FOR HOW WOULD YOU ASSESS THE BALL TONIGHT, COACH?
>> DEFENSIVE PLAY REALLY WELL, THAT WAS 88-6 GAME FOR A WHILE.
FOURT -QUARTER MAY BE RIGHT TOWARDS THE END OF THE THIRD QUARTER.
CARVER IS A FANTASTIC TEAM.
THEY PLAYED FOR IT LAST YEAR, AGAINST CEDAR GROVE, WE PLAY NEXT WEEK ALSO OUR REGION.
SO, A TOUGH REGION TO BE IN.
BUT I THINK WE HELD ON, WE PLAYED REALLY WELL, DEFENSIVELY.
WE PLAYED VERY AGGRESSIVE AND A VERY PHYSICAL FOOTBALL GAME.
SO WE GOT A COUPLE OF TURNOVERS LATE, AND HAD A SHORT FIELD FOR OUR OFFENSE WHICH HELPED US OUT A GOOD BIT.
>> COACH, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE AS A TEAM RIGHT NOW HEADING INTO REGION PLAY.
I KNOW MOST YEARS I GET TO ASK YOU THAT QUESTION A MONTH AGO, BUT THROUGH YOUR NON-REGION SCHEDULE, WHAT DID YOU LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF IN ADDITION TO WHAT YOU LEARNED ABOUT YOURSELF TONIGHT?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, I TALKED WITH THE GUYS LAST YEAR AND WE DECIDED THAT WE KNEW WE WOULD BE A SMALL REGION.
AND SO, WE KNEW WE HAD TO GO OUT AND PLAY SOME GOOD COMPETITION.
WE WANTED TO GET OUR KIDS READY TO PLAY IN TOUGH ACCOMMODATION.
AND, SO, WE WENT OUT AND SCHEDULED AS MANY TOUGH GAMES AS WE CAN GET.
EVEN KNOWING THAT WE WOULD HAVE THESE GAMES IN OUR REGION PLAY, ANYWAY, SO YOU KNOW, COLLINS HILL, WE WENT OVER SOUTH CAROLINA AND PLAYED GREENWOOD, EAST CAL, THAT IS OUR ONLY BLEMISH UP TO THIS POINT.
JACKSON, THEY ARE A VERY GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM.
HARRIS COUNTY, THEY HAVE A TRADITION THERE.
THAT IS WHAT THE KIDS WANTED, AND I THINK IT TELLS US WE GET IN THESE BIGGER GAMES, IT SEEMS LIKE THE KIDS DON'T GET RATTLED WHEN THINGS AREN'T GOING WELL .
THEY CONTINUE TO KEEP FIGHTING, KEEP FIGHTING.
I HAVE TO ATTRIBUTE THAT TO JUST PLAYING BIGGER GAMES.
IT IS CLEAR YOU HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE BECAUSE YOU HAVE PERFECT FRAMING ON YOUR SHOT WITH YOUR TROPHIES AND THE HELMET.
I GOT TO SAY, I KNOW YOU SAID THAT UP TO >> THAT'S JUST THE WINDOW IN MY OFFICE.
>> I'M JUST MESSING WITH YOU?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CALLING IN.
WE WILL HEAR FROM YOU SOON.
>> ALL RIGHT.
SEE YOU THEN.
>> ALL RIGHT, JOHN, LET'S BRING YOU BACK IN.
THOUGHTS ON THE REGION FIVE, AAA, JOHN, THERE'S A LOT OF TOUGH COMPETITION, THERE.
>> YOU MENTIONED TOUGH COMPETITION NEXT WEEK, CEDAR GROVE HEADS TO SANDY CREEK.
THAT IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT GAME IN THE HOPPER FOR BRETT GARVIN.
HIS OFFENSE ONCE AGAIN HAS BEEN PRETTY PROLIFIC.
IN THE 40s AGAINST GREENWOOD AND ALEXANDER, WE WENT TO OVERTIME, THAT WAS A GAME IN THE 20s.
COLLINS HILL AND HARRIS COUNTY BOTH IN THE 30s.
JACKSON, ALMOST AT 30 POINTS AND THEN THE OUTPUT TONIGHT AGAINST CARVER, ATLANTA BUT THIS WILL BE THEIR TOUGHEST TEST ON THE BOARD NEXT WEEK.
THEN, CEDAR GROVE, AND IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, THIS WILL DETERMINE YOUR ORDER WHEN IT COMES TO THE POSTSEASON.
THE ONE, TWO, THREE, AND FOR.
BECAUSE, AFTER CEDAR GROVE, THEY GET A BYE WEEK AND THEN THEY WILL FINISH UP LAST WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON ON DECISION DAY, WHEN THEY GO TO PLAY DOUGLAS AT LAKEWOOD.
CEDAR GROVE AND SANDY CREEK.
PUT THAT ONE IN YOUR EARLY SPOT SHADOW FOR NEXT WEEK.
>> STICKING WITH AAA, JOHN, THERE WAS A GAME WE WERE WATCHING TONIGHT, THIS ONE IS AT REGION TOO.
A BIG RIVALRY, EAST COUNTY VERSUS NERI PERSONS, WINNING 35- 18.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT FINAL SCORE?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM PEACH COUNTY AND FROM MARRIED PERSONS, IT'S A REGION RIVALRY AND IT IS A RIVALRY RIVALRY.
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT PLAYING EACH OTHER, THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS, THAT MIDDLE GEORGIA RIVALRY WE CAN SEE WITH ROUND ROBINS IN NON-REGION PLAY, ONCE AGAIN, NOT NECESSARILY A SURPRISE THAT THESE TWO TEAMS FINALLY GET TO HOOK UP IN REGION PLAY, BUT, WITH JACK CAMPBELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT PEACH COUNTY THIS SEASON, THEY HAVE BEEN UP AND DOWN.
YOU LOOK AT THE BIG WIN THAT STARTED THINGS OFF, THEY LOSE , THEN THEY TURN AROUND AND BEAT JONES COUNTY, THEY HELP THEM TO THREE POINTS, THEN THEY LOSE TWO DIGIT 3 COMING INTO THE MARRIED PERSONS CAME.
SO THAT UP AND DOWN IS SOMETHING THAT CAMPBELL WANTS TO ADDRESS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON.
>> WE HAVE ANOTHER COACH CALLING IN , JOHN, ANOTHER ONE ON THE ROAD.
AN AWAY GAME.
HEAD COACH JOEY KING ON THE LINE.
CARROLLTON VERSUS PEBBLE BROOK .
CARROLLTON PULLED OUT THE WIN 42-12 TO GO UNDEFEATED .
8-0, 2- 0 IN REGION PLAY.
, BUT THIS CAME DOWN FOR US.
COACH, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
>> I GOT YOU.
>> THERE YOU ARE.
I WAS TO TELLING YOU TO BREAK DOWN THE GAME.
WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS FROM THE 42-12 WHEN?
>> FIRST THING WE NEEDED TO LIMIT THE BIG PLACE.
MAY HAVE SOME OF THE BEST PASSING IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
THEY HAD SOME BIG PLAYS, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE KEPT THEM BOTTLED UP.
SPREAD OUT, WE HAVE FIVE DIFFERENT RECEIVERS OFFENSIVE MINDED, THROWING THE BALL, PLAYERS MAKING PLAYS , SO I WAS SUPER PROUD OF OUR EFFORT, TONIGHT.
>> CODE, IT'S JOHN.
REALLY QUICKLY WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK, HOW MATURE IS SOMEONE LIKE LEWIS, IN CONTROL OF THIS OFFENSE, CONSISTENTLY SCORING IN THE LOW 30s OR LINING UP THE SCOREBOARD.
HOW MATURE IS HE?
>> HE'S VERY MATURE.
HE'S A REALLY CEREBRAL KID.
PUTTING A LOT ON THE QUARTERBACK.
HE HAS A SUPPORT CAST AROUND HIM.
BUT ENCOURAGE HIM ALONG THE WAY.
>> CODE, I SEE THAT YOU ARE IN THE CAR, SOMEWHERE.
WITH ANY PLAYERS OR STAFF MEMBERS?
WHERE ARE YOU CALLING IN FROM?
>> YES.
I AM WRITING DOWN THE HIGHWAY HERE, ALL THE KIDS ARE ASLEEP IN THE BACK OF THE BUS.
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS A CAR.
IT'S VERY DARK IN THERE.
GET BACK SAFE, COACH, GRADUATIONS ON THE WIN.
>> THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING ME.
>> HEY, SPEAKING OF CARROLLTON, IT IS OUR FOOTBALL FRIDAY GEORGIA GAME OF THE WEEK NEXT WEEK.
REGION TWO, SEVEN A BATTLE IN ATLANTA.
CARROLLTON.
QUARTERBACK JUDY LEWIS BACK IN ACTION, THEY WILL BE FACING WESTLAKE.
HAVE A REALLY GOOD ONE IN QUARTERBACK DAVE JAN TERREL.
THAT WILL BE A GREAT ONE AT 7:30 P.M. ON THE 21st BUT I WANT TO BRING THOUGHTS ON THIS MATCHUP?
>> I THINK IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT.
>> YEAH, IT WILL BE OKAY.
I THINK IT WILL BE OKAY.
>> WE SAW WESTLAKE EARLY IN THE YEAR GOING UP AGAINST CHRIS, WHO IS HANDLING THEIR BUSINESS AT AAA, THIS YEAR.
AND, AS WE KNOW HE WANTS TO PLAY ANYBODY, ANYPLACE, ANYTIME, QUITE TWICE ON TUESDAY.
GETTING REPS IN SEASON ONE.
IN SEASON TWO I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS LOOK AT THIS REGION OF CARROLLTON WESTLAKE CAMPBELL AND PEBBLE BROOK AND THOUGHT THEY KNEW BEFORE WOULD BE IN ORDER BUCK BUT WITH CARROLLTON ON THE WIN, EAST TOWN COMING INTO REGION PLAY TONIGHT, 0-1, NOW THE BROOK WITH TWO GAMES LEFT IN THEIR SEASON, REGION FIVE OVERALL, THE ONE, THE TWO, THE THREE, AND BEFORE.
>> AWESOME.
WE CAN'T WAIT FOR IT.
WE HAVE TO STEP ASIDE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK BUT WE HAVE MUCH MORE , MANY MORE COACHES CALLING IN.
STICK WITH US, THE COACH GET POST GAME SHOW ON GPB.
>>> FOOTBALL FRIDAYS IN GEORGIA PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY.
PROVIDING REMINDING YOU TO BE SAFE ON EVERY TRIP.
BUCKLE UP, GEORGIA.
>>> WELCOME BACK TO FOOTBALL FRIDAYS GEORGIA POST GAME SHOW PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY.
INVITING YOU TO BUCKLE UP.
LET'S GET RIGHT TO DUBLIN HEAD COACH ROGER HOLMES.
THEY PLAYED A NON-REGION GAME TONIGHT AGAINST JULIE COUNTY.
ANOTHER COACH CALLING IN FROM ON THE ROAD IN VIENNA.
COACH, FINAL FOUR IN THIS ONE, 21-6.
WHAT WERE YOUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS FROM THE GAME?
>> IT WAS A HECK OF A FOOTBALL GAME.
FIRST HALF, 706, WE WERE ABLE TO COME OUT WITH A COUPLE OF TOUCHDOWNS ON THE BOARD.
IN THE FOURTH QUARTER IT WAS A TOUGH AND PHYSICAL FOOTBALL GAME FOR SURE.
WE WERE FORTUNATE TO GET OUT WITH A WIN.
>> CODE, LAST WEEK BEFORE THIS DULY COUNT AGAINST YOU GOT THIS BIG WIN TO GET THINGS MOVING IN REGION PLAY THE BENEFIT IS A GREAT FIRST STEP FOR YOU AFTER THE EARLY START WHERE YOU ARE 3- CHARLESTON GAME ON THE BOARD BUT ONCE AGAIN AS YOU ARE NOW GETTING INTO THE MEAT OF REGION PLAY, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE AS A TEAM?
>> JOHN, WE ARE GETTING BETTER, I THINK, DEFENSIVELY.
OFFENSE OF LUPUS FOOTBALL TEAM HAS YET TO REALLY FIND AN IDENTITY.
YOU KNOW?
WE ARE JUST A LITTLE OFF.
I THINK IF WE CAN , YOU KNOW, FIND A WAY TO GET PLAYING BETTER OFFENSIVELY, AND I THINK THE FACT THAT HOPEFULLY WE CAN PLAY SOME GAMES IN A ROW, WE HAD A WEEK OFF, AND WE LOST THE CHARLESTON GAME DUE TO WEATHER, NOW THIS WEEK IS ON BREAK.
I WOULD LOVE TO GET IN A ROUTINE AND GET BETTER.
>> THANKS SO MUCH FOR CALLING IN.
WE ALWAYS LOVE HEARING FROM YOU.
>> THANK YOU, SEE YOU, HANNAH.
>> GET HIMSELF.
>> OKAY, JOHN, THEY ARE BACK TO REGION PLAY NEXT WEEK.
THEY FACE JEFFERSON COUNTY.
THOUGHTS ON THAT MATCHUP ?
DUBLIN IS NO 4-2, 2-0 IN REGION PLAY.
KEMBA GO 3-0?
>> I THINK THAT JEFFERSON COUNTY HAS HAD A BIT OF A SEASON , THEY ARE COMING INTO THIS WEEKEND WITH 1-6.
SO, THEY WILL HAVE A HANDFUL OF GAMES LEFT.
ONE OF THEM, AGAINST THE TEAM THAT A LOT OF FOLKS REMEMBER, ALL THE SUCCESSES BUT JEFF HAS HAD A LEAN YEAR THIS YEAR.
A LOT OF FOLKS ANTICIPATING THE DEVIL, GETTING TO DO NEXT WEEK AT 2-0, THEN TO GO TO 4-2 ONCE AGAIN.
REMEMBER, WHEN THEY GO INTO THE POSTSEASON, THEY WILL HAVE A GOOFY NUMBER OF GAMES BECAUSE THEY GOT CANCELED BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER.
THEY WILL HAVE NINE GAMES.
WHEN THEY FINISH UP JUST TO, EXPLORING, AND THEN THE BIGGEST ONE ON THE BOARD WILL BE ON DECISION DAY.
SWAINSBORO AND DUBLIN, THAT ONE IS GOING TO BE THE ONE, I THINK.
SWAINSBORO, DUBLIN, AND BLAKELY, WITH BEN TURNER THAT PART OF THE DISCUSSION, TOO.
A LOT OF FOLKS ARE LOOKING AT THE ONE, TWO, AND THREE.
MAYBE YOU CAN SIT THERE AND MAKE SURE THAT THINGS ARE A LITTLE DIFFICULT FOR THOSE OTHER THREE TEAMS.
>> WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR STREAM GAME TONIGHT, JOHN?
I KNOW YOU ARE FOLLOWING THAT ONE ALL NIGHT WITH JONES COUNTY VERSUS DUTCH TOWN.
JONES PULLED IT OUT 24-7, FOR A BATTLE IN HAMPTON, WHAT DID YOU SEE TONIGHT?
>> THE BIGGEST THING WAS THE EARLY START THE JONES COUNTY GOT.
WHEN YOU GET THE FIRST SCORE ON THE BOARD, THEN YOU GO ON SIDEKICK.
ONCE AGAIN, THIS HAS BEEN THE RIVERBOAT GAMBLER WE HAVE SEEN AT JONES COUNTY WHERE, TO KEEP HIS OFFENSE ON THE FIELD, TO KEEP YOUR OFFENSE OFF THE FIELD, HE IS NOT AFRAID AND WE HAVE SEEN THIS WITH JONES COUNTY IN THIS GAME, IN THE PAST, WHERE THEY ARE SPLITTING UP 100 POINTS ON THE BOARD, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, HE IS GOING TO TRY TO KEEP HIS OFFENSE ON THE FIELD AND KEEP YOU AND YOUR OFFENSE FROM BEING ON THE FIELD.
SO, THE ON SIDEKICK EARLY IN THE FIRST QUARTER, NOT A SURPRISE AT ALL.
THEN THEY CONTINUE TO ADVANCE, ADVANCE, GET TO THE MARGIN ON THE BIG WINS, BIG REGION WIN FOR JONES COUNTY TONIGHT.
DUTCH TOWN IS THE ONE WITH WORKS TO DO FOR THE REMAINING WEEKS OF THE SEASON.
>> JONES COUNTY WAS ON THE ROAD IN THAT ONE.
WE FINALLY HAVE A COACH THAT HAD A HOME GAME HERE TO TALK TO US ABOUT IT.
JOHN CALHOUN, HEAD COACH OF CONKLIN COUNTY DEFEATED CAMDEN 49-21.
COACH, YOU WERE LEADING 28-7 IN THE SECOND QUARTER.
TELL ME WHAT WAS WORKING SO WELL TONIGHT.
>> HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING?
THANKS FOR HAVING ME, AS ALWAYS.
YOU KNOW, WE WERE CLICKING, AT TIMES, WE HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT OFFBEAT, WE HAD A GOOD THREE WEEKS OF PRACTICE.
WE PLAYED ON THAT WEDNESDAY, SO IT FEELS LIKE WE HAD NOT PLAYED IN A LONG TIME, BUT OUR KIDS PRACTICED WELL, AND WE CANNOT REALLY FAST AND FOCUSED, SO, IT WAS GOOD, 35-7 AT THE HALF.
SO, THAT IS ONE OF THE BETTER OFFENSE OF HOUSE BUT I HAVE BEEN AROUND IN A LONG TIME.
>> GOINGS ON WEDNESDAY TO A FRIDAY, HOW DIFFICULT IS THAT YOU HAVE TO SIT THERE AND RUSHING YOUR GAME PLAN AND YOUR PRACTICE SCHEDULE OUT, BECAUSE, WE HAVE SEEN TEAMS LIKE IN APLIN COUNTY, PLAYING TWO GAMES IN A WEEK AND THEY HAD TO CRAM THINGS TOGETHER.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE, TED, TO HOW TO BUDGET THINGS OUT, SLOWING THINGS DOWN AND STILL GET YOUR GAME PLAN FOR TONIGHT?
>> YOU KNOW, -- >> GOING BACK TO SOME FUNDAMENTALS, HAVING SOME BIG- TIME TALKS AND MEETINGS, IT WAS REALLY GOOD THAT OUR KIDS DID THAT, TONIGHT LOOK A LOT BETTER THAN THE LAST GAME.
SO, THAT WAS GOOD TO SEE.
HOPEFULLY THAT WILL CONTINUE.
>> COACH CALHOUN, YOU CONTINUE TO BE UNDEFEATED 7-0 ON THE REGION OPEN, 1-0 IN REGION PLAY, THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN.
ALL RIGHT, WE LOST COACH.
I WANT TO BRING YOU INTO TALK ABOUT REGION 178, I KNOW WE TALK ABOUT IT A LOT, BUT AS WE GET FURTHER ALONG, IN REGION PLAY, WHAT ARE YOU SEEING FROM REGION ONE, 7A?
>> THE WIN TONIGHT AGAINST RICHMOND HILL, SO HE GOES TO 2- 0, AND NOW RICHMOND HILL, 3-5 RIGHT NOW ON 0-2.
COFFERED WITH THE WIND IN THEIR REGION OPEN AN ASSET-ZERO, LOOKING FOR THE REMAINDER, HE GOES TO THE HARDPAN NEXT WEEK AND THAT WILL BE A BIG ONE.
THAT WILL GAUGE THINGS OUT WITH YOUR ONE, TWO, AND THREE, AND SET THINGS UP FOR YOUR FINAL TWO WEEKS.
HERE IS THE RUN IN IT TO SEAN CALHOUN.
YOU FINISH WITH TWO ROAD GAMES, YOU GO THERE TO TAKE ON FELTON ON THE 28th, THEN ON DECISION DAY, YOU ARE AT RICHMOND HILL.
SO, MET LIZOTTE, THE FIRST WEEKEND OF NOVEMBER, REALLY COULD , YOU KNOW, FOUL THINGS UP A BIT IF HE COMES UP WITH AN OFFSET WIN IF HE COMES UP WITH HIS FIRST WIN.
SEAN CALHOUN OF CONKLIN WILL PREPARE FOR THE OPPOSITE BUT THAT IS THE RUN IN FOR SEAN CALHOUN.
YOU HAVE GOT HIM COMING TO YOUR PLACE BUT THEN YOU GO TO VALDES ARE, THEN YOU MAKE THE TRUCK AT PALMER, ON DECISION TO TAKE HER OF THE DECISION.
COMING OUT OF REGION ONE.
>> ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING MATCHUPS FOR ME, TONIGHT, IT WAS ON THE TOP OF THE SCOREBOARD.
THE EARLY COUNTY WAS 7-0 HEADING INTO TONIGHT, BUT HAVE ALREADY PLEDGED REGION ONE.
BROOKS COUNTY HAD NOT PLAYED IN THREE WEEKS.
THAT DID NOT MATTER, BECAUSE THEY ONE 34-7 .
TELL ME ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT ONE.
>> I MEAN, THAT IS THE KEY, HERE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT BROOKS COUNTY, AND THAT THREE WEEK GAP --I'M GUESSING WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, YOU WANT LORI FREEMAN TO BE OUR GUEST ON THE PODCAST ON MONDAY WHEN WE TAPE, IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE HANDING OUT HERE?
>> I THINK THAT IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY.
>> OKAY.
BECAUSE, I MEAN, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, A THREE WEEK GAP, A LOT OF FOLKS HAVE A GAP , TO BUY WEEKS IN A THREE GAME PERIOD WHERE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET THINGS PUT AWAY BUT A THREE WEEK GAP IS UNHEARD-OF WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO PLAY A SEASON, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GO INTO A MINI REGION, LIKE WE TALK ABOUT WITH MY TEAMS LIKE BERKS COUNTY.
BECAUSE YOU HAD THE GAME WITH BAINBRIDGE, PLAYED OF THE 60 THE LAST MONTH, THEN YOU HAVE PIKE LIBERAL ARTS, AND WAS ABOUT TO GO BAINBRIDGE, BY WEEK, LIKE LIBERAL ARTS, BY THAT IS HOW THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO GO.
AND PIKE LIBERAL ARTS BACKED OUT OF THEIR GAME AGAINST DOWTIN, AND MY SPIDEY SENSES WERE WHEN THEY BACKED OUT OF THE GAME AGAINST BROOKS, BECAUSE LIBERAL ARTS IS IN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF ALABAMA HIGH SCHOOL EE ASSOCIATION BECAME UP FROM PRIVATE SCHOOLS, IN THE AHS AA.
AND, THEY ARE DOWN TO LIKE 30 KIDS.
SO, WHEN YOU HAVE ONE CANCELLATION, I FIGURED THERE WOULD BE A CASCADE .
DOWTIN WAS STILL LOOKING FOR AN OPPONENT, I DON'T THINK THEY FOUND ONE FOR THEIR BYE WEEK.
THE SAME THING WITH BROOKS COUNTY ON A THREE-WEEK BIOPIC THAT IS UNHEARD-OF , TO TRY TO GET THINGS SQUARED AWAY.
THEN, YOU COME IN WITH EARLY COUNTY BEFORE YOU GET IN TO REGION PLAY?
BY THE WAY, YOUR REGION PLAY HAS OR WHEN COUNTY IN IT.
SO, THEIR REGION PLAY STARTS NEXT WEEK.
IT IS CRAZY WHAT MAURICE FREEMAN AND THE BERKS COUNTY TROJANS HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS YEAR.
BUT, THEY HAVE ONLY HAD ONE BLEMISH, THE LOSS TO COOK, IN SEASON THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS ANTICIPATED FROM THE FOLKS IN GOODMAN.
>> WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT REGION 178, HATS OFF TO HEAD COACH FELTON, HERE TO TALK TO US ABOUT HIS GAME TONIGHT OVER RICHMOND HILL.
20-NOTHING TO GO-ZERO.
2-0 IN REGION PLAY.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW, COACH.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR GAME TONIGHT.
>> THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING ME ON.
IT WASN'T A CLEAN WILDCAT GAME BUT WE FOUND A WAY TO STARTED OUT SLOW.
BIG WIN AGAINST LINE, GREAT DEFENSE, GETTING THE WIN TO ZERO.
>> COACH, JOHN AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT REGION ONE 7A, TALK ABOUT HOW TO THE REGION THIS IS, AND THE REST OF YOUR >> IS A TOUGH REGION.

DENMARK VERSUS LAMBERT .
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT?

HEAD COACH MARK STRAUSS, CAVALRY DAY, THEY DEFEATED SAVANNAH 40 2-0, CODE, TELL ME ABOUT YOUR GAME.
>> I WILL TELL YOU, THE SCORE CERTAINLY DOES NOT INDICATE THE GAME PLAYING OUT.
HAVE A REALLY GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM.
CLOSE INTO THE THIRD QUARTER.
EVERY KID WHEN THE GAME IS 14- 0, WE HAVE THE SENSE OF TOUCH DOWN, SIMMONS I THOUGHT REALLY KIND OF --WE HAD SOME OPPORTUNITIES ALREADY TO MAKE IT A THREE SCORE GAME IN THE FIRST HALF, BUT THIS NEVER QUITE HAPPENED.
IT FELT LIKE ONCE WE GOT THAT SCORE LEAD, WE TOOK OFF FROM THERE.
THE KIDS PLAY REALLY HARD.
JOHN HAS A GOOD TEAM, A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THOSE GUYS.
OUR KIDS GOT ROLLING AFTER THAT SCORE.
>> COACH, YOU ARE 6-0, 4-0 IN REGION PLAY, ANOTHER BIG REGION BATTLE WITH SAVANNAH COUNTRY DAY NEXT WEEK.
WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO REMAIN UNDEFEATED?
>> I WILL TELL YOU, ANOTHER GAME FOR US, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT EITHER TEAM COMES TO THE GAME WITH, IT WILL BE A TOUGH AND PHYSICAL FOOTBALL GAME.
THEY WILL HAVE THEIR A GAME COMING TO US AND WE JUST GOT TO GET READY TO PLAY EACH WEEK.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD COACHING, HERE.
GETTING READY, AND ALL THE GAMES WE'VE GOT LEFT.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF US STAYING HEALTHY, STAYING FOCUSED, AND JUST PLAYING ONE AT A TIME, AND ONE FRAME AT A TIME REALLY.
