Scoreboard Show | Mitchell County Stuns Clinch, TCC Rolls Over HoCo, and Northside Rallies Past Tift County ၏ စာသားမှတ်တမ်းအပြည့်အစုံ

think that's a 69 00:04:09.500 --> 00:04:13.129 pretty mundane task, right? Takes, what, 10 seconds? But it's 70 00:04:13.150 --> 00:04:15.729 been a bigger problem than we realize. So anyway, what's up? 71 00:04:15.750 --> 00:04:19.069 Jamie Fraley-Seger checking in from Camden. She's Miss Camden County, 72 00:04:19.689 --> 00:04:25.220 as officially anointed by me. Well-deserving. Gilbert Ellis, Jr., Appling, 73 00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:29.889 Oliver Beach, 45-0 in the final. So, Jacqueline, and I 74 00:04:29.910 --> 00:04:31.709 don't know if you were aware of this, somebody else, 75 00:04:32.529 --> 00:04:34.370 most of y'all in the state of Georgia or in 76 00:04:34.389 --> 00:04:36.290 the south know about this. Of course, we have a 77 00:04:36.350 --> 00:04:39.629 hurricane coming in, and that's why we have so many 78 00:04:39.670 --> 00:04:43.240 games that have been moved to tonight. Now, there are 79 00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:46.639 some teams that have held out and are going to 80 00:04:46.660 --> 00:04:49.920 play tomorrow, and I think that's a mistake. I could 81 00:04:49.939 --> 00:04:53.620 be wrong. I'm sure these administrations of all these schools 82 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.879 that have decided to forego moving the games up tonight, 83 00:04:57.060 --> 00:05:00.660 like about half the state did, I'm sure that they 84 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.839 feel like they have an accurate enough weather forecast to 85 00:05:04.899 --> 00:05:09.819 make an educated guess on what it's going to be tomorrow. 86 00:05:09.860 --> 00:05:12.920 But you've got a couple of teams in Camden County 87 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:17.920 that are going to be traveling to Lowndes County tomorrow, 88 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:22.060 early afternoon, And then they've got to drive home. And 89 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:31.040 that is a hike on school buses on non-major interstate roads. 90 00:05:31.540 --> 00:05:34.850 I'm just guessing, almost hoping, that that game is going 91 00:05:34.870 --> 00:05:37.230 to be postponed to a later date. That's just my guess. 92 00:05:38.649 --> 00:05:40.170 But we'll see. We'll see if they're able to play it. 93 00:05:41.329 --> 00:05:43.810 But there's a lot of games that were not rescheduled 94 00:05:43.829 --> 00:05:45.730 and will be played tomorrow. And all I've got to 95 00:05:45.769 --> 00:05:47.670 say is good luck, man, because we have got some 96 00:05:48.129 --> 00:05:52.269 treacherous weather. that is scheduled to come in tonight, overnight, 97 00:05:52.370 --> 00:05:55.410 supposed to linger with us all day tomorrow and Saturday morning. 98 00:05:55.430 --> 00:06:00.399 So we'll see what's going on. Yeah, you're right. It 99 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:05.000 definitely could alter the Georgia-Alabama game. Again, I don't see 100 00:06:05.019 --> 00:06:07.420 how they're going to be able to play that because 101 00:06:07.459 --> 00:06:08.800 the heart of this hurricane is going to go right 102 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:10.790

up through where this game is supposed to be played. But, again, 103 00:06:10.810 --> 00:06:14.750 we'll see. Jacqueline Pollock says the TCC broadcast team, we're 104 00:06:14.769 --> 00:06:19.180 talking about that during halftime show, 44 out of 399 105 00:06:19.180 --> 00:06:23.279 teams have been accurately reported. Yeah, it's pretty bad. But again, 106 00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:26.420 I encourage you guys to watch. Again, y'all can go 107 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.180 on and watch my conversation with Todd Holcomb. Again, all 108 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.300 of our shows are archived here, just like this one is. 109 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:34.730 So you'll go and see me and Todd Holcomb talk 110 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:36.250 about it. So go back and revisit it. Go back 111 00:06:36.310 --> 00:06:40.129 and re-watch it. And you'll see what Todd and I 112 00:06:40.189 --> 00:06:43.870 talked about and how this has happened, how this has occurred, 113 00:06:44.250 --> 00:06:46.089 and what they're doing to fix it. So it's pretty 114 00:06:46.129 --> 00:06:50.550 good stuff. Gilbert Ellis Jr. wasn't able to attend any 115 00:06:50.569 --> 00:06:52.350 games this week due to being in Albany. I've had 116 00:06:52.410 --> 00:06:54.670 to keep up through max preps. Good luck with that, man. 117 00:06:56.069 --> 00:06:57.970 That's all I'll tell you. Okay, so what I've got. 118 00:06:58.870 --> 00:07:02.339 By the way, speaking of TCC, Thomas County Central. I'm 119 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.439 just going to go ahead and put this out there. 120 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:06.980 By the way, that's my dog hacking in the background 121 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:12.620 in case you'll hear. Thomas County Central is all over 122 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.779 a good Houston County team. The last score I had 123 00:07:16.819 --> 00:07:19.459 was 36-3 as they went into the third quarter. If 124 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.379 anybody's got an update on that, let me know. But 125 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.250 I'm going to go and say this right now. Okay. 126 00:07:29.889 --> 00:07:32.410 You can pretty much go ahead and give Thomas County 127 00:07:32.470 --> 00:07:37.410 Central the state championship Class 6A trophy. And I'm going 128 00:07:37.449 --> 00:07:41.189 to go ahead and tell you this. I would, at 129 00:07:41.379 --> 00:07:48.790 this point, put Thomas County Central– up against anybody, regardless 130 00:07:48.810 --> 00:07:53.339 of classification. You know, I've actually wondered about that, how 131 00:07:53.379 --> 00:07:58.540 TCC would fare against Buford, Carrollton, whomever. I don't think 132 00:07:58.579 --> 00:08:00.639 anybody's going to touch TCC. I think they are the best, 133 00:08:02.230 --> 00:08:06.649 hands down, the strongest football program, high school football program 134 00:08:06.670 --> 00:08:10.699 in the state of Georgia, bar none. I really believe 135 00:08:10.730 --> 00:08:13.550 that because they're not only beating teams, they're beating good 136 00:08:13.610 --> 00:08:16.829 teams and they're not just beating them. They're destroying teams. 137 00:08:17.310 --> 00:08:20.689 Houston County has got one of the strongest offenses in 138 00:08:20.730 --> 00:08:23.829 the state of Georgia. Now they've lost some scores like 139 00:08:23.829 --> 00:08:27.430 70 to 66. And, uh, you know, they got into 140 00:08:27.449 --> 00:08:29.879 an offensive shootout last week against Tifton. And I mean, 141 00:08:30.269 --> 00:08:34.179 so while they give up points, they score a bunch. 142 00:08:34.580 --> 00:08:37.000 And so far, last time I checked, they had three, 143 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:44.610 three points, uh, I mean, they're unbelievable. I mean, they're 144 00:08:45.070 --> 00:08:50.620 reaching a point that is unheard of, unparalleled in the 145 00:08:50.629 --> 00:08:52.519 state of Georgia in the history of high school football. 146 00:08:53.139 --> 00:08:56.759 And I've watched a lot of it in my lifetime. Okay. 147 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.379 Kerry Claiborne, what's going on, Kerry? What's happening, brother? Y'all 148 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.899 got any scores? Send them to me. It's kind of 149 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.700 what this show is all about. We're just going to share... 150 00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:12.980 We kind of share scores. Now, Kerry, you know, and 151 00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:15.159 Kerry's a big Buford fan. He's the PA announcer for 152 00:09:15.179 --> 00:09:18.440 the Buford Wolves. Look, and I get it. I think 153 00:09:18.620 --> 00:09:20.750 I know Buford has every right to believe they are 154 00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:24.389 the best team. I think they are. Carrollton, you know, 155 00:09:24.450 --> 00:09:28.710 they're on a roll. But I've never seen anything like 156 00:09:28.769 --> 00:09:32.840 what Thomas County Central is doing. Never. The last team 157 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:37.519 that played them tough– was the Roswell Hornets last year 158 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:40.759 at TCC. It was a fairly close game. I say 159 00:09:40.779 --> 00:09:43.070 fairly close because I think TCC wound up beating them 160 00:09:43.090 --> 00:09:45.309 by three touchdowns. But that's just where we are with 161 00:09:45.330 --> 00:09:47.870 this TCC team. That's just how dominant they are. You 162 00:09:47.889 --> 00:09:55.710 consider a three-touchdown win close. Okay, so anyway. Thomasville over 163 00:09:55.809 --> 00:10:03.740 Fitzgerald 17-14. That is in the fourth quarter. 17-14, Thomasville 164 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.899 over Fitzgerald. I had that. By the way, that's one 165 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.159 of my pick six games tonight. I'll have to look 166 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.399 and see exactly what the score was, but I had 167 00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:15.600 Chris beating Sumter. Gabe Garrett, what's going on, buddy? Evening, Filipino. 168 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.340 I love it, dog. I love nicknames. UGA Alabama game 169 00:10:19.399 -->

00:10:21.059 is still on go right now. Weather is supposed to 170 00:10:21.100 --> 00:10:23.059 be passed, but it's only been windy at game time. Okay, 171 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.320 that's a good update. Speaking on UGA, they just got 172 00:10:25.340 --> 00:10:27.879 a dog commit from my Tumas County. I saw that. 173 00:10:27.990 --> 00:10:32.850 Nick Carroll, big pickup. By the way, interestingly enough, Gabe, 174 00:10:33.669 --> 00:10:37.009 I don't get many stat updates for our top performers 175 00:10:37.070 --> 00:10:41.090 list on Nick Carroll. See if you could help me 176 00:10:41.110 --> 00:10:44.769 with that. Okay. I would really appreciate that because that man, 177 00:10:44.789 --> 00:10:48.529 he's a beast, but I never have anybody reporting stats 178 00:10:48.769 --> 00:10:54.539 for our top performers list. So anyway, all right. So again, 179 00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:56.919 looking for some scores. So Gilbert Ellis Jr. said, what 180 00:10:56.940 --> 00:10:58.679 score you got for? Last score you got was Liberty 181 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.659 County and Long County was 22-8. Liberty, Liberty, Liberty. All right, 182 00:11:03.710 --> 00:11:10.330 Liberty 22-8 over Long County. I'm just writing these down 183 00:11:10.350 --> 00:11:12.610 so I don't have to ask again. All right, I 184 00:11:12.629 --> 00:11:16.690 had Lee County all over Veterans, 35-0. No real surprise there. 185 00:11:18.830 --> 00:11:22.039 Worth County all over Kendrick, and I mean bad. And, again, 186 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.240 no surprise there. Worth County was up 42-0, and I 187 00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:28.559 think that was like in the second quarter. I don't 188 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:30.720 even think they had reached the half yet. One game 189 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.500 we're watching that's a pretty good game is Cook and 190 00:11:33.570 --> 00:11:37.269 Brooks County. It was 9-9 at the half. if anybody 191 00:11:37.309 --> 00:11:40.289 has an update on Cook County, Brooks County, please let 192 00:11:40.309 --> 00:11:45.309 me know. Uh, Jacqueline Pollock tells us final score, Columbus 193 00:11:45.309 --> 00:11:52.970 49 to six over Hardaway. Okay. Thank you for that, Jacqueline. 194 00:11:52.990 --> 00:11:57.029 Appreciate that. If anybody else has any other scores, please 195 00:11:57.070 --> 00:11:59.509 let me know if you got anything that's happening around 196 00:11:59.549 --> 00:12:02.230 the state. Uh, that's what we're here for is to 197 00:12:02.250 --> 00:12:08.350 kind of share some scores. Um, So Crisp Sumter is 198 00:12:08.370 --> 00:12:15.129 going to be played tomorrow at 530. Again, Tift County, Northside, 199 00:12:15.169 --> 00:12:18.409 Warner Robins, big region game. And the reason for that 200 00:12:18.450 --> 00:12:22.779 is for a couple of things. Tift County in Region 2, 6A, 201 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.759 with Northside, Warner Robins, and those teams are vying for 202 00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:28.659 a playoff spot. Right now Tift County is in pretty 203 00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:32.679 good shape. A win tonight over Northside probably secures a 204 00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:36.519 playoff spot, probably locks them in. To the postseason, I 205 00:12:36.539 --> 00:12:39.740 think they are right around 22, if I'm not mistaken, 206 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.220 or somewhere around there. Top 32 teams to get into 207 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.419 the state playoffs in every classification. So just looking for 208 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.879 an update. Our Cuban and I, rather, on TIFT and Northside. Cook, again, 209 00:12:49.940 --> 00:12:55.440 Cook and Brooks County. That's another important game for playoff ramifications. 210 00:12:55.559 --> 00:13:01.419 Brooks leading or was tied with Cook at halftime 9-9. 211 00:13:02.139 --> 00:13:08.639 Both teams in desperate need of a win. Okay, let 212 00:13:09.220 --> 00:13:15.309 me check real quick here. Let's see what my, let's 213 00:13:15.330 --> 00:13:21.450 see exactly what my pick six was, because I forgot, 214 00:13:22.250 --> 00:13:25.090 to be honest with you. So I wonder what my 215 00:13:25.129 --> 00:13:28.330 pick six was. Let me see here. All right, so 216 00:13:28.350 --> 00:13:30.190 I've got some more updates coming in. Let me see 217 00:13:30.230 --> 00:13:32.529 here on the, so I'd actually just put out there 218 00:13:33.049 --> 00:13:36.559 Mitchell County and Clitch County. That's one we're watching tonight. 219 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:41.080 Anybody got anything? on Mitchell County clinch. Clinch is the 220 00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:44.779 big favorite in that game. However, last thing I had 221 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:51.669 was Mitchell County leading clinch 12-3. That was in the fourth. Guys, 222 00:13:51.789 --> 00:13:54.490 if that holds up, that right there is the easy 223 00:13:54.669 --> 00:13:58.610 upset of the night. Again, that was in the fourth quarter, 224 00:13:58.730 --> 00:14:04.419 so that is a final. Mitchell County has upset clinch 12-10. 225 00:14:04.580 --> 00:14:09.799 Are you kidding me? That's officially the first big upset 226 00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:14.019 of this week, whatever it is, week seven or week eight. So, wow, 227 00:14:14.059 --> 00:14:17.820 that is huge, big time. Keith Barg has given us 228 00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:26.909 an update. Tiff, 24-19 on north side. 24-19 now on 229 00:14:26.990 --> 00:14:29.909 north side. Oh, boy, that makes it closer now. There's 230 00:14:29.950 --> 00:14:33.090 still seven minutes left, so be careful there. North side 231 00:14:33.129 --> 00:14:34.879 of Warner Robins trying to come back in that game. 232 00:14:35.210 --> 00:14:37.450 They've got it now to under a touchdown as they 233 00:14:37.470 --> 00:14:43.370 trail by five points. Cook and Brooks still 9-9 starting 234 00:14:43.409 --> 00:14:47.450 the third quarter. So that game has held up through 235 00:14:47.610 --> 00:14:53.049 a quarter going to the fourth quarter.

Brooks and Cook. Lee, 236 00:14:53.730 --> 00:14:56.169 Kerry Claiborne says, Lee, a whole bunch of veterans, nothing. 237 00:14:56.570 --> 00:15:00.549 Well put, Kerry Claiborne. Ampling, 45-0 over Beach. I think 238 00:15:00.610 --> 00:15:04.970 somebody else had that one. Worth 57-0 over Kendrick. Boy, 239 00:15:04.990 --> 00:15:10.879 we got some doozies tonight, don't we? Steve Grafton is 240 00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:14.679 giving us a score here. B.C., is that Benedictine? No, 241 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:19.320 who is that? Who is that, B.C.? No, that's not 242 00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:22.980 Bradwell Institute. Anyway, whoever B.C. is, they're up 45-0 or 243 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:32.049 45-14 on Ace. Ace is the place. Peach, Oliver, Westside, Macon, 54-14. Man, 244 00:15:32.070 --> 00:15:37.679 we got some blowouts tonight, don't we? Incredible. Cairo over 245 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.159 Schaller is another blowout. 17, or I'm sorry, it's 33-12 Cairo. 246 00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:46.080 I'm telling you, watch out for Cairo. The Cairo Syrup 247 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.039 Makers are looking like they are going to be one 248 00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:53.919 of the, they're going to be a state championship contender. 249 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.399 There are teams that are really starting to separate themselves 250 00:15:57.419 --> 00:16:00.279 from everybody else. I think Cairo Syrup Makers could be 251 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.490 one of those teams. Thomas County Central is certainly one 252 00:16:03.529 --> 00:16:06.169 of those teams. I just don't know in Class 6A 253 00:16:06.190 --> 00:16:08.490 who's going to touch Thomas County Central. I'm all ears 254 00:16:09.230 --> 00:16:11.610 if anybody's got any tips for me, if anybody's got 255 00:16:11.629 --> 00:16:17.299 any suggestions. I don't know. I'm just asking. Who is 256 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.320 going to keep the game close with Thomas County Central? 257 00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:24.759 I'd like to know your thoughts. Because right now, nobody 258 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.600 has been able to. I mean, they dispatched of a 259 00:16:28.899 --> 00:16:32.879 really good Lee County team. I mean, pretty bad. And 260 00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:36.960 Lee County's tough. I mean, Houston County tonight, Houston County's 261 00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:38.710 no pushover. Now, they give up a lot of points, 262 00:16:38.730 --> 00:16:41.250 but they score a lot of points. That's what gets me. 263 00:16:41.509 --> 00:16:45.730 We've seen the offensive juggernaut of Thomas County Central and 264 00:16:45.769 --> 00:16:49.960 what they've been able to do offensively. But you take 265 00:16:50.029 --> 00:16:54.759 that and now you throw in a defense that's keeping– 266 00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:00.879 another top offensive team like Houston County, keeping their offense 267 00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:07.410 to three points in the third quarter. Guys, that's just 268 00:17:07.470 --> 00:17:12.269 unheard of.

I mean, again, I've never seen anything like it. Never. Okay. No, 269 00:17:12.289 --> 00:17:13.910 let me check. See if we got any other scores 270 00:17:13.930 --> 00:17:20.150 coming in. Jacqueline Pollock says, another family connection, City Pelham. 271 00:17:21.970 --> 00:17:25.650 Pelham loses to Early County 42 to nothing. Ouch, that's 272 00:17:25.670 --> 00:17:34.279 a bad loss. Bad loss for Pelham, the Pelham Hornets. 42, no, 273 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:37.299 that was a– they were a pretty solid program not 274 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.349 long ago. Worth County beats the Dogs not out of Kendrick. 275 00:17:41.710 --> 00:17:45.089 Indeed they did, 64 to nothing. Again, be sure to 276 00:17:45.130 --> 00:17:48.349 catch the Worth County Coaches Show. All these coaches that 277 00:17:48.390 --> 00:17:51.190 we do every week. It would be good to get 278 00:17:51.230 --> 00:17:54.690 back with a win with Worth County's head coach, Jeff Hammond. 279 00:17:55.049 --> 00:18:01.029 So what was that final score? 60– what was it? 64-0. Okay. 280 00:18:01.190 --> 00:18:04.910 Thank you for that, Jacqueline. Yeah. All right. So now 281 00:18:04.970 --> 00:18:08.720 Brooks County has gone up on Cook 15-9. That's in 282 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:13.519 the third. Wow. I think it could come down to 283 00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:16.390 the wire there. Again, that's two teams in dire need 284 00:18:16.430 --> 00:18:20.279 of a win, Brooks and Cook. Cook took a really 285 00:18:20.339 --> 00:18:24.079 bad loss against Berrien. Not that Berrien's not a good 286 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.299 football team, but Cook just did not look very good 287 00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:30.359 at all in that game. Congratulations to Berrien and Jackson Dean. 288 00:18:30.380 --> 00:18:33.359 They're having a great season. So thank you for that. 289 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:38.009 Gilbert Ellis Jr., Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, 29-15 over Long. That 290 00:18:38.109 --> 00:18:42.009 is a final. Cairo all over Shaw, 33-12. That's in 291 00:18:42.029 --> 00:18:45.109 the fourth. Fire coaches of Georgia. What's going on, brother? 292 00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:47.960 No one's touching TCC if they stay healthy. Yeah, you're right, man. 293 00:18:48.109 --> 00:18:54.109 I mean, nobody, nobody. I mean, again, I'm all ears, man. 294 00:18:54.730 --> 00:19:04.450 Who in Class 6A could possibly stay anywhere within two, 295 00:19:04.490 --> 00:19:10.069 three touchdowns? I don't see it. I just don't see it. Look, 296 00:19:10.490 --> 00:19:13.490 I've been surprised before, but I've never seen any level 297 00:19:13.529 --> 00:19:16.630 of dominance like what TCC is showing. so far this year. 298 00:19:17.069 --> 00:19:18.950 Like I said, the closest game that they had was 299 00:19:19.049 --> 00:19:23.359 Roswell in last year's semifinals. That was when Roswell was 300 00:19:23.380 --> 00:19:30.839 the defending region champions. They swept Gainesville, Milton, everybody else 301 00:19:30.859 --> 00:19:33.660 in that region. But anyway, it's a brand-new year, and 302 00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:35.559 I just don't know who is going to hold– I 303 00:19:35.569 --> 00:19:38.509 don't even know who's going to play Thomas County Central close, 304 00:19:38.609 --> 00:19:41.309 much less give them a fight for a win. Okay, 305 00:19:41.329 --> 00:19:43.390 this is one I've been wondering about. Jack, thank you 306 00:19:43.410 --> 00:19:49.130 for this. So– Bainbridge leading Monroe 22-7. Interesting little conversation. 307 00:19:50.349 --> 00:19:53.029 here jamie dubose who once was the lounge high football 308 00:19:53.049 --> 00:19:55.269 coach for a couple of years he leaves and goes 309 00:19:55.289 --> 00:19:58.579 to gulf shores alabama and then he went somewhere else 310 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.259 and he's kind of bounced around he's a good coach 311 00:20:00.910 --> 00:20:05.900 um but jamie dubose gathered up The Bainbridge Middle School 312 00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:10.099 football team, who had won, I guess, their district championship, 313 00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:12.599 and said, you know what, guys? By the time y'all 314 00:20:12.619 --> 00:20:14.299 get up here to the high school level, I am 315 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.519 going to make sure y'all have an indoor practice facility. 316 00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:19.240 By the way, that's one of the things that Todd 317 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:21.690 Holcomb and I talked about this morning. Again, you guys 318 00:20:21.710 --> 00:20:23.930 can go back and watch that interview in its entirety 319 00:20:24.049 --> 00:20:27.210 right here at ITG Next. Todd Holcomb and I talked 320 00:20:27.230 --> 00:20:29.589 about a lot of these different things, but we talked 321 00:20:29.630 --> 00:20:32.869 about the weather. being such a factor this year. You're 322 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:36.529 going to see, obviously, if the GHSA cannot extend the 323 00:20:36.549 --> 00:20:39.130 start of the season forward and try to get past 324 00:20:39.150 --> 00:20:44.259 some of these late summertime thunderstorms that have caused such– 325 00:20:44.390 --> 00:20:46.890 played such havoc with these games this year, I've never 326 00:20:46.910 --> 00:20:50.559 seen anything like it. Now, this weekend's– and that's an exception. 327 00:20:50.660 --> 00:20:51.960 This is an exception to the rule. This is a 328 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:57.039 hurricane kind of– I'm not counting this. But these heat-induced– 329 00:20:57.549 --> 00:21:01.650 Afternoon thunderstorms, did it cause such delays, postponements, games to 330 00:21:01.690 --> 00:21:04.769 be rescheduled? Okay, so if there's nothing that the GSA 331 00:21:04.789 --> 00:21:07.089 can do about that, okay, and to get these guys 332 00:21:07.230 --> 00:21:09.640 out of the heat as far as the practices goes, 333 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:13.819 look for more and more schools to start building these 334 00:21:13.980 --> 00:21:16.279 indoor practice facilities.

Now, that's not going to do much 335 00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.720 to help the games. I get that. But a lot 336 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:21.900 of teams are also having one of the things, there's 337 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:23.910 a couple of things, a couple of factors that this 338 00:21:23.990 --> 00:21:28.420 heat is causing. It's causing games to be postponed, like 339 00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:33.980 I just talked about. And it's also causing teams to 340 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:40.740 alter their practice times. Some teams going at 5, 6 a.m. 341 00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:43.980 North Gwinnett, my buddy Eric Godfrey, said they practice as 342 00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:47.759 late as 7.15, 7.45 some nights, even up in North 343 00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:50.180 Atlanta with the heat being what it is. So it's 344 00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:52.589 just interesting how the weather is playing havoc this year. 345 00:21:53.130 --> 00:21:56.509 in Georgia high school football. So the indoor practice facilities 346 00:21:56.609 --> 00:21:59.890 used to be very, very few and far between. I mean, 347 00:22:00.109 --> 00:22:03.849 only the elite had them. Uh, Carrollton, Colquitt County were 348 00:22:03.869 --> 00:22:06.549 two of the first programs that really started this. And 349 00:22:06.609 --> 00:22:10.730 now you've got everybody almost, not really, but seemingly just 350 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.819 about every program is putting together, putting up some sort 351 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:19.420 of covered and or indoor practice facility. Diff County just 352 00:22:19.460 --> 00:22:24.309 completed a construction of their, uh, uh, They're a covered 353 00:22:24.349 --> 00:22:28.609 facility that was modeled after Georgia Southern University's football program. 354 00:22:29.710 --> 00:22:34.009 It's not completely hermetically enclosed, but it's covered. And so 355 00:22:34.029 --> 00:22:38.269 that keeps you protected from the direct sunlight. So anyway, 356 00:22:38.990 --> 00:22:42.880 all right, still looking for updates on Thomasville Fitzgerald. Last 357 00:22:42.910 --> 00:22:46.779 thing we had was Thomasville over Fitzgerald 17-14. Anybody got 358 00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:49.319 an update on that? Any updates that you've got, any scores, 359 00:22:49.660 --> 00:22:52.509 we will certainly take them. Again, big, big thanks to 360 00:22:52.549 --> 00:22:58.710 our friends at Community Bank of Georgia, Kelly Stone, Travis Seal, 361 00:22:58.869 --> 00:23:01.970 all the folks at Community Bank of Georgia. Big thanks 362 00:23:02.309 --> 00:23:06.200 for all you do with us, sponsoring our scoreboard show, 363 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:11.859 sponsoring our lounge coaches show, sponsoring our Appling County coaches show. 364 00:23:12.299 --> 00:23:16.880 So a big time sponsor that is very much involved 365 00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.059 with us. And we appreciate those guys a whole lot. 366 00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:24.430 Big time. All right, Fire Football Coaches of Georgia says, 367 00:23:24.470 --> 00:23:27.650 I love Milton, Gainesville, or even a rematch with Lee, 368 00:23:27.670 --> 00:23:30.890 but I just don't see if they stay healthy. Yeah, 369 00:23:31.289 --> 00:23:33.970 I mean, I was thinking about Milton, maybe. A lot 370 00:23:34.009 --> 00:23:36.769 of respect for Ben Reeves and Milton. I mean, they're 371 00:23:36.890 --> 00:23:39.250 one of the teams that comes to mind. You're right, Fire, 372 00:23:39.269 --> 00:23:43.950 the Gainesville Red Elephants, another team that comes to mind. So, yeah, 373 00:23:43.990 --> 00:23:45.930 those are two, you know, I would definitely like to 374 00:23:45.970 --> 00:23:48.730 see them play, you know. We'd love to see him play. 375 00:23:48.970 --> 00:23:50.680 Just as a reminder, for those of you that may 376 00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:53.359 not know, last year when Thomas County Central played Gainesville 377 00:23:53.420 --> 00:23:59.420 in the state championship, it was a beatdown of monumental proportion. 378 00:24:00.339 --> 00:24:05.109 A state championship game, okay, was not even close. And 379 00:24:05.210 --> 00:24:07.769 this year's TCC team may even be stronger than last 380 00:24:07.789 --> 00:24:11.029 year's was. We say Jacqueline Pollock. I can say this, Phil. 381 00:24:11.069 --> 00:24:12.849 I'm going to have to start streaming again. I have 382 00:24:12.869 --> 00:24:15.609 to make TCC a part of my show. Don't worry, 383 00:24:15.630 --> 00:24:18.750 I won't compete with you because my day off is Sundays. No, 384 00:24:19.009 --> 00:24:22.130 we don't compete with anybody. We're a business. We have sponsors. 385 00:24:22.690 --> 00:24:26.019 We do what we do. Gilbert Ellis, Jr., Mitchell beats Clinch. Yeah, 386 00:24:26.059 --> 00:24:31.000 that's a shocker there. That's a complete shocker. Gilbert, I 387 00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:34.259 talked about this earlier. Mitchell County beating Clinch is by 388 00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:38.869 far the upset of the week so far, and this 389 00:24:38.930 --> 00:24:44.849 is only Thursday. Listen, congratulations to Kareem Hiss. He's the 390 00:24:44.950 --> 00:24:49.849 new head coach at Mitchell County. Great, great, great win 391 00:24:50.490 --> 00:24:54.069 and a bad loss for Rance Morgan in Clinch County. Okay. 392 00:24:54.089 --> 00:24:58.960 That's a big upset. 12-10. And it was in Homerville, too. Wow. 393 00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:04.519 Huge win for Mitchell County. Walter Johnson, I'm watching and 394 00:25:04.539 --> 00:25:07.680 listening from Albany, Georgia. What's up, my man? 12-10 triumph 395 00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:09.769 over Clinch County has to be the biggest win the 396 00:25:09.809 --> 00:25:13.319 Mitchell County program has had in the last 20 years. Listen. Listen. Yeah, 397 00:25:13.339 --> 00:25:15.019 I was just trying to stress just how big of 398 00:25:15.059 --> 00:25:19.509 an upset that was, Walter, and you kind of compounded that. 399 00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:22.390 I would

agree with you. Tip of the hat to 400 00:25:22.410 --> 00:25:27.490 Mitchell County. That is big time. Wow. Mack Foster tells 401 00:25:27.549 --> 00:25:29.609 us that Tift has just lost another game. Are you 402 00:25:29.690 --> 00:25:38.359 kidding me? What? That's a bad loss, man. Come on. 403 00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:45.009 Are you serious? Did Tiff County really lose that game 404 00:25:45.670 --> 00:25:51.029 to Northside Warner Robins? Oh, that's a bad loss. Somebody 405 00:25:51.089 --> 00:25:53.970 update me on that one. Fire tells us it's 21-15 Brooks. 406 00:25:53.990 --> 00:25:57.130 Nine minutes left to go in the game. Brooks over Cook. 407 00:25:58.150 --> 00:26:05.730 Thomas County Central just went final. Look at that. 43-3. Wow. Wow. Man, 408 00:26:05.869 --> 00:26:11.359 really shocked about this. Thomasville 23-21 over Fitzgerald. Ten seconds 409 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:16.440 left in the game. Thomasville leading Fitzgerald 23-21. Are you 410 00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:22.150 serious that Tift County lost? Come on. Somebody help me 411 00:26:22.190 --> 00:26:28.150 out with that. Mack, I hope you're wrong, man. That's 412 00:26:28.190 --> 00:26:37.119 a bad loss. That's another bad loss. Golly. Just so 413 00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:39.519 you all know, I grew up in Tifton. Okay. Okay. 414 00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:47.339 And I'm trying– I'm hoping, and I think he ultimately will. 415 00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:49.940 That's Jeff Littleton, head coach of the Tiff County Blues. 416 00:26:50.059 --> 00:26:51.420 I think he'll get them back to where they need 417 00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:55.980 to get. But these are games you need to win. 418 00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:02.829 These are games you need to win. Matt Beecher. What's up, Matt? 419 00:27:02.849 --> 00:27:04.170 I was wondering if you were going to make it, man. 420 00:27:04.250 --> 00:27:07.940 Appling County improves the 7-0 with an impressive win over Beecher. 48-0, 421 00:27:08.339 --> 00:27:14.119 Jeff Davis destroys Bacon County on jacket homecoming to stay undefeated. 37-0. Oh, 422 00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:20.140 my gosh. TCC has TIF next week. Well, that's going 423 00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:22.440 to be another loss. See, TIF County's got to win 424 00:27:22.460 --> 00:27:27.519 these games over Northside and veterans. You've got to win 425 00:27:27.539 --> 00:27:32.819 those games. Can somebody confirm for me that final score 426 00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:35.410 on TIF? I just saw my buddy, Mac Foster, had 427 00:27:35.470 --> 00:27:39.869 posted Tiff lost another game. See, I was worried about 428 00:27:39.910 --> 00:27:43.869 that when I saw that score went to 24-19, Tiff 429 00:27:44.289 --> 00:27:47.869 over Northside. That worries me. That's not a good score. 430 00:27:47.890 --> 00:27:50.049 That's not a good lead. Anytime you've got less than 431 00:27:50.109 --> 00:27:54.450 a touchdown lead with seven, eight minutes left, that's a 432 00:27:54.630 --> 00:27:58.849 bad loss, bad loss. TCC wins. Thank you, Phillip Moore. 433 00:27:58.869 --> 00:28:07.710 TCC wins 43-3, huge win. Robbie Hopkins, GCS 10 next week. Yep. Okay, 434 00:28:07.750 --> 00:28:11.690 so WPAX said Thomasville Fitzgerald game just went final. Thomasville 435 00:28:11.710 --> 00:28:18.430 has defeated Fitzgerald 24-21. Chris Pace. Chris Pace likes that. 436 00:28:18.809 --> 00:28:24.119 Chris Pace, Thomasville 24-21 final. Thank you, Thomasville. Big win, right? 437 00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:28.920 I love it, buddy. What's up, Chris Pace? So I 438 00:28:28.940 --> 00:28:31.460 had picked Thomasville to beat Fitzgerald. That was one of 439 00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:33.980 my pick six games. I don't have it in front 440 00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:35.940 of me. I can't remember what my score was. But 441 00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:38.339 not too bad this year on my pick six. I've 442 00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:41.480 been doing pretty good. Again, looking for a final score. 443 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.269 I'm guessing that final score, I'm just guessing that Northside 444 00:28:45.289 --> 00:28:53.269 must have scored to win something like 26-24. Chris Pace, 445 00:28:53.490 --> 00:28:58.410 Northside 25-24, 148 in the fourth. So maybe if it 446 00:28:58.430 --> 00:29:01.170 ain't over yet, there's still hope. Although my buddy, Matt 447 00:29:01.210 --> 00:29:09.319 Foster– Okay, Gabe Garrett, 24-19. Yeah, but I think Chris 448 00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:12.759 Pace's score is probably more accurate. Probably Northside scored a 449 00:29:12.779 --> 00:29:16.119 touchdown to go up 25-24, so I'm going with Chris 450 00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:23.730 Pace's score. Northside, 25-24. GPB says 24-19 tipped over Northside. Yeah, 451 00:29:23.829 --> 00:29:26.809 I'm guessing Chris Pace's score is right with about a 452 00:29:26.950 --> 00:29:29.730 minute and a half left in the game. So hopefully 453 00:29:29.789 --> 00:29:34.000 Mac Foster was a little bit– Quick on the draw. 454 00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:35.950 Let's see if Tift County maybe can come back with 455 00:29:35.990 --> 00:29:42.519 a field goal or something. Okay, so firing football coaches. 456 00:29:44.140 --> 00:29:48.140 My buddy there says, Tift is not over yet. Tift ball, 457 00:29:48.380 --> 00:29:51.000 they're down 25-24, 140 to go. Okay, I feel a 458 00:29:51.019 --> 00:29:54.119 little bit better. At least there's still a chance. Oh, man, 459 00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:55.569 I tell you, man, when you root for a team 460 00:29:55.869 --> 00:29:59.150 who's struggling, who's just every win, you know, makes such 461 00:29:59.170 --> 00:30:02.309 a difference. Tickett has got a pretty good field goal kicker. 462 00:30:02.369 --> 00:30:03.990 Let's see if they maybe can get down in field 463 00:30:04.009 --> 00:30:07.269 goal range and get something. Kenneth Hurst, what's going on, man? 464 00:30:07.289 --> 00:30:08.529 I know it was a big night for you guys 465 00:30:08.609 --> 00:30:11.650 up there in middle Georgia

with TCC 49-3. Some of 466 00:30:11.910 --> 00:30:14.369 you TCC fans now starting to come into the show 467 00:30:14.390 --> 00:30:16.990 with these games getting over. Listen, and I'm going to 468 00:30:17.009 --> 00:30:19.490 try to update this as much as I can. And 469 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:21.000 I've said this, and I'll probably repeat it some more 470 00:30:21.019 --> 00:30:23.740 since we've got some more of you TCC fans coming in. 471 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:27.720 Gabe Garrett, Worth had a rough one tonight. Yeah, I 472 00:30:27.740 --> 00:30:30.779 hear you, buddy. Yeah, they did, didn't they? So– For 473 00:30:30.819 --> 00:30:35.420 you TCC fans that are late joining us, TCC would 474 00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:42.240 beat anybody, and I mean anybody in the state. All right, 475 00:30:42.259 --> 00:30:45.210 Jacqueline says, I'm listening to the Cairo game now. Per 476 00:30:45.230 --> 00:30:50.529 GPB's fourth quarter, Cairo 47-18 over Shaw. Yeah, they're going 477 00:30:50.549 --> 00:30:52.549 to win that one. There could be 100 minutes left, 478 00:30:52.950 --> 00:30:55.730 and they're going to win that one. Watch out for 479 00:30:55.750 --> 00:31:02.880 the Cairo syrup makers. They are super, super tough. All right, so, man, 480 00:31:02.980 --> 00:31:05.259 somebody keep an eye on that Tiff County game. Biggest 481 00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:09.660 upset of the night, obviously, is Mitchell County going to Cairo, 482 00:31:09.700 --> 00:31:13.359 going to Homerville, and beating the Cairo, I'm sorry, the, 483 00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:17.720 my bad, Clinch County. My bad. Let me start over. 484 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:24.190 Mitchell County, to me, C's here. Mitchell County defeating Clinch, 12-10. 485 00:31:24.470 --> 00:31:29.250 Biggest upset by far of the night. That is huge. 486 00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:40.809 Big time upset. Okay, so last score we had was 487 00:31:40.869 --> 00:31:43.769 Brooks leading Cook 15-9. Wanted to keep an eye on 488 00:31:43.829 --> 00:31:48.500 that one. Benedictine, I think. Did Benedictine play tonight? I'm 489 00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:56.799 not sure. Thomas Hill has defeated Fitzgerald. Okay, fired football 490 00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:59.039 coach that says a big penalty, then a huge completion 491 00:31:59.140 --> 00:32:03.480 as Tift at the plus 40, still 1.15 to go. Okay, 492 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.359 let's go. Got to get about probably a good 20, 493 00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.269 25 more yards to give Tift a legitimate shot at 494 00:32:10.309 --> 00:32:14.410 a field goal. I say we. Tift has always been 495 00:32:14.450 --> 00:32:18.390 my team. So, yeah, this is one I'll get upset about. 496 00:32:19.250 --> 00:32:22.150 Let's see here. Phil, who wins between Buford and TCC? 497 00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:28.829 Matt Beecher, I got to tell you, man, I don't 498 00:32:28.869 --> 00:32:33.690 see how you could pick against TCC right now. Gabe Garrett, wow, 499 00:32:33.849 --> 00:32:39.240 look at this. Over in Quitman, Brooks Cook, 15-15. How 500 00:32:39.259 --> 00:32:41.960 much time we got left in that? That's a huge game. 501 00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:46.559 Both those teams really, Josh McFathers, Brooks County Trojans, really 502 00:32:46.779 --> 00:32:50.319 need that win, big time. But there again, Cornelius Pig 503 00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:52.890 Brown's Cook team, needs a win too so both those 504 00:32:52.910 --> 00:32:57.390 teams desperately need a win um i know cook's field 505 00:32:57.410 --> 00:32:59.829 goal kicker kicked about a 25 yard field goal earlier 506 00:32:59.849 --> 00:33:04.309 in the game right before the half uh calhoun county 507 00:33:04.349 --> 00:33:12.190 defeats southwest georgia stem 44 22 oh and tag on 508 00:33:12.380 --> 00:33:15.519 another touchdown for cairo yeah that's All right, so fired 509 00:33:15.539 --> 00:33:19.289 football coaches of Georgia. Brooks goes up 21-15. Fire, do 510 00:33:20.170 --> 00:33:22.450 you have any idea how much time we got in 511 00:33:22.470 --> 00:33:26.130 that Brooks-Cook game? It's got to be getting late. Brooks 512 00:33:26.309 --> 00:33:30.750 up 21-15. Wow. Cook coming off a really bad loss 513 00:33:31.150 --> 00:33:35.349 against Berrien. Not that Berrien's really good, but just a 514 00:33:35.349 --> 00:33:41.279 bad loss. There are good wins, and there are good wins. 515 00:33:41.779 --> 00:33:43.519 Believe it or not, there is such a thing as 516 00:33:43.539 --> 00:33:47.130 a good loss. If you compete and you give it 517 00:33:47.170 --> 00:33:48.549 all you got and you come up just a little 518 00:33:48.569 --> 00:33:51.559 bit short, you know, especially in a game you're not 519 00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:58.079 picked to win, that's a good win. That's a good loss. Okay, so. Okay, 520 00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:01.279 so fire tells us it was 21-15 Brooks. Kenneth Hurst 521 00:34:01.299 --> 00:34:03.640 says there's about six minutes left. So still a lot 522 00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:06.640 of time left. Chandler Howell, what's going on, Chandler? Thomas 523 00:34:06.660 --> 00:34:09.980 Field just beat Fitzgerald 24-21. Thomas Field did a reverse 524 00:34:10.019 --> 00:34:12.840 play with 30 seconds left in the game. Another tough 525 00:34:12.940 --> 00:34:18.670 night in Fitzgerald. Wow. Fourth down and 15 for Tiff. Oh, boy. 526 00:34:20.510 --> 00:34:23.889 Fourth down and 15 for Tiff at midfield. Penalty killed Tiff. 527 00:34:24.090 --> 00:34:26.449 A minute left. Timeout Tiff. Okay, this is going to 528 00:34:26.469 --> 00:34:30.929 take a miracle now for Tiff County to come back in. Oh, well. 529 00:34:30.949 --> 00:34:34.340 There it goes. The cookie crumbles, as they say. We'll 530 00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:38.039 see if some kind of miracle. I don't know. Listen, 531 00:34:38.099 --> 00:34:39.659 if I got fourth and 15, you know what I'm 532 00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:43.389 going to do? I'm going to try to. induce a 533 00:34:43.530 --> 00:34:47.539 pass

interference penalty. Get a receiver to get in some traffic, 534 00:34:47.579 --> 00:34:50.340 throw it up for grabs, and hopefully you get a penalty. 535 00:34:50.380 --> 00:34:53.860 Good receivers can draw a pass interference penalty. That is 536 00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:57.139 my strategy. That's what I would do. But, again, 4th 537 00:34:57.159 --> 00:34:59.550 and 15, that's a long way to try to get 538 00:34:59.590 --> 00:35:01.630 a first down. I just don't know if there's enough 539 00:35:01.670 --> 00:35:11.480 time left anyway. Bleckley County defeats Ace Charter 45-15. Thomasville 540 00:35:11.699 --> 00:35:15.380 beats Fitzgerald 24-21. Now, for those of you that don't know, 541 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:21.380 Fitzgerald had a hoss of a running back. I'm trying 542 00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:24.329 to remember his name. William? Is it William Devine? I 543 00:35:24.369 --> 00:35:30.510 can't remember. Great running back. He decides to transfer to Coffey. Now, 544 00:35:30.550 --> 00:35:32.250 he didn't see a look of play in time last week. 545 00:35:34.929 --> 00:35:41.260 And he was the guy at Fitzgerald. Don't know any reason. 546 00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:44.659 Don't know. I'm assuming it's, I think it was a 547 00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:46.670 legitimate move. I think the father actually got a job 548 00:35:47.090 --> 00:35:50.190 in Douglas slash Coffey County. If that's the case, okay, 549 00:35:50.570 --> 00:35:52.829 that's cool. Okay, there's nothing to do about that. But 550 00:35:52.869 --> 00:35:55.210 if there was a decision to move that young man 551 00:35:55.250 --> 00:35:59.190 from Fitzgerald to a bigger school, and I don't know. 552 00:35:59.269 --> 00:36:01.050 I don't want to speculate. I have no idea what 553 00:36:01.090 --> 00:36:04.730 happened there. But... That's probably going to turn out to 554 00:36:04.789 --> 00:36:09.199 be not good for Fitzgerald. I mean, he was the guy. Now, 555 00:36:09.590 --> 00:36:12.760 I don't think it made that big of a difference tonight. 556 00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:19.579 I'm not putting this loss on that young man because 557 00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:23.719 Fitzgerald usually has a pretty good group of running backs. 558 00:36:23.739 --> 00:36:27.219 In other words, they normally don't just rely on one guy. 559 00:36:27.619 --> 00:36:29.719 That's always been. That's the way it was when Tucker 560 00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:31.820 Pruitt was at Fitzgerald. That's the way it was when 561 00:36:31.860 --> 00:36:34.719 his dad was. Robbie Pruitt was at Fitzgerald's the way 562 00:36:34.739 --> 00:36:39.909 it is when everybody's at Fitzgerald, including Wesley Blankenship. But anyway, 563 00:36:41.349 --> 00:36:50.309 so Tiff fails to convert. Dadgummit. Tiff failed to convert. 564 00:36:50.349 --> 00:36:53.820 They rolled left through short of the line to gain. Well, 565 00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:57.739 that never works, does it? Northside with the ball, 55 566 00:36:57.739 --> 00:37:02.250 seconds

remaining, up 25-24. Boy, that's going to be a 567 00:37:02.289 --> 00:37:04.769 bad loss for Tift, or a good win for Northside. 568 00:37:05.730 --> 00:37:09.909 Good win for Daniel Boone-Williams. Comes to Tift, and Tift 569 00:37:09.929 --> 00:37:12.409 had that game in control, and they lost. Tift's still learning, 570 00:37:12.869 --> 00:37:16.369 trying to figure out how to win. That's the big thing. Tift, 571 00:37:16.690 --> 00:37:18.050 they've got to figure out how to win. They've got 572 00:37:18.070 --> 00:37:19.849 to figure out how to close games. I think that's 573 00:37:19.869 --> 00:37:22.750 at least the second game they've led, and have let 574 00:37:22.809 --> 00:37:27.699 it slip away. But I still trust. Jeff Littleton, good coach, 575 00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:32.920 good coach. Baby steps. Okay, Obadiah Farley, what's going on, dog? 576 00:37:33.820 --> 00:37:36.159 Obadiah Farley, man, listen, Obadiah, I've been talking about your 577 00:37:36.179 --> 00:37:40.030 TCC guys. So, Obadiah, I'm going to put it out 578 00:37:40.050 --> 00:37:46.510 there because I know you're TCC's number one fan. So, Obadiah, 579 00:37:47.610 --> 00:37:50.380 they should go ahead and give the state championship trophy 580 00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:54.590 to Thomas County Central. Nobody is going, I mean, I 581 00:37:54.610 --> 00:37:58.829 don't see how anybody could touch TCC. Now, it didn't 582 00:37:58.889 --> 00:38:02.969 take tonight's win to really make up my mind at all, 583 00:38:03.210 --> 00:38:08.050 but it really almost put the icing on it. And 584 00:38:08.070 --> 00:38:11.869 I'll tell you why. Sure, they were favored to beat Hoco, 585 00:38:12.630 --> 00:38:16.030 but Houston County has been scoring a buku of points 586 00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:20.260 against everybody. I mean, I don't know what they're averaging, 587 00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:23.239 but my buddy Jeremy Edwards' team is, got one of 588 00:38:23.260 --> 00:38:27.170 the most potent offenses in the state. Now, they have 589 00:38:27.210 --> 00:38:31.949 no defense, okay? Certainly didn't help them tonight. But when 590 00:38:32.010 --> 00:38:41.619 TCC holds a HOCO offense to a field goal, oh, 591 00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:44.320 but I've already said it one game at a time. No, dude. 592 00:38:46.219 --> 00:38:50.159 They would have to have a monumental collapse to not 593 00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:52.960 win the state championship. And I've got to be honest 594 00:38:52.980 --> 00:38:54.460 with you guys, I've never seen anything like it. I've 595 00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:56.570 been around the game of football for a long time. 596 00:38:56.909 --> 00:39:01.429 Played it, announced it, talk about it, report on it, blah, blah, blah. 597 00:39:01.889 --> 00:39:03.949 I've never seen anything like what Thomas County Central is doing. 598 00:39:04.269 --> 00:39:06.389 Go ahead and give them the trophy. And I'll say this, 599 00:39:06.429 --> 00:39:08.210 of course, we put up a graphic.

We put up 600 00:39:08.250 --> 00:39:11.630 a graphic at ITG Next about a month ago saying, hey, 601 00:39:12.010 --> 00:39:16.389 who would win between TCC and Buford? I can't remember 602 00:39:16.429 --> 00:39:19.110 what the final tally was. A lot of people said TCC. 603 00:39:19.469 --> 00:39:21.449 A lot of people are going to go to Buford, naturally, 604 00:39:21.710 --> 00:39:28.289 because it's Buford. But, man, I just, but wouldn't you 605 00:39:28.429 --> 00:39:36.300 love to see TCC and Carrollton? Because I think Carrollton 606 00:39:36.460 --> 00:39:41.809 may be a smidge better than Buford. Maybe. They're pretty good. 607 00:39:42.469 --> 00:39:45.599 Chris Pace says ball game is over. Northside wins 25-24. 608 00:39:45.650 --> 00:39:52.099 That's a bad loss. Bad loss, man. Philip Moore. Listen, Phil, 609 00:39:52.119 --> 00:40:00.639 do you see any team in 6A... Do you see 610 00:40:00.699 --> 00:40:07.429 any team in 6A to nest TCC this year? I'm 611 00:40:07.449 --> 00:40:12.610 guessing you to beat TCC. Is that what you're asking me? No. No, 612 00:40:12.849 --> 00:40:17.869 I don't. I'll tell you this, too. I'll give you 613 00:40:17.889 --> 00:40:26.289 in 6A... Creekside is pretty good. Creekside is pretty tough. 614 00:40:27.550 --> 00:40:30.219 So I think they could give them a game. I'm 615 00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:33.019 not saying they would have won. See, I'm just looking 616 00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:35.719 for somebody that can keep it close against TCC. Gilbert 617 00:40:35.739 --> 00:40:39.780 Ellis Jr. replies to Walter L. Johnson II. First time 618 00:40:39.820 --> 00:40:41.460 to Albany, and this is a nice city, and the 619 00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:43.469 people I've encountered have been very polite and friendly a 620 00:40:43.489 --> 00:40:46.090 few years ago. I remember my alumnus playing Westover in Monroe. 621 00:40:46.969 --> 00:40:50.289 So I actually worked at the Albany Herald. in another life, 622 00:40:50.349 --> 00:40:54.769 before I got into sports, I was in newspaper management. 623 00:40:54.929 --> 00:40:57.690 I was the state operations director for the Albany Herald. 624 00:40:57.730 --> 00:41:06.000 I oversaw the Herald's 28-county South Georgia coverage area. And, yeah, 625 00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:09.179 it was as busy a job as it sounds like. 626 00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:14.780 But I liked Albany. A lot of people bashed on Albany. 627 00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.900 It was a great city. That's got a lot of crime, 628 00:41:17.940 --> 00:41:20.329 but Who doesn't? But it was a good seat. I 629 00:41:20.349 --> 00:41:24.090 loved Albany, the time I spent there. Jacqueline Pollock says, 630 00:41:24.130 --> 00:41:26.469 TCC versus Carrollton or Buford. Play the game at Ed 631 00:41:26.510 --> 00:41:30.550 Pilcher Field at Thomas County Stadium, a.k.a. the Jaguars next year. 632 00:41:30.570 --> 00:41:32.630 Going to see a good ball game. Actually, I think 633 00:41:32.650 --> 00:41:33.889 if you played it

anywhere. I don't know if it 634 00:41:33.909 --> 00:41:36.429 would matter, to be honest with you. Rosser Sutherland. What's 635 00:41:36.449 --> 00:41:39.599 going on, big dog? Rosser Sutherland checking in from Marietta. 636 00:41:39.619 --> 00:41:41.440 We have a resurgent Etowah team to deal with at 637 00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:43.239 home tomorrow. You better believe it, buddy. This is not 638 00:41:43.260 --> 00:41:45.659 the Etowah Eagles of old, is it? I did get 639 00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:47.800 to meet Zach Coburn in person last night. Really? How 640 00:41:47.820 --> 00:41:50.210 about that? That's pretty cool, man. I'm glad you guys 641 00:41:50.230 --> 00:41:55.389 got to meet. Listen, Rosser, you got to work on 642 00:41:55.489 --> 00:41:59.199 Coach Duke for me to get a coaches show. I've 643 00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:01.400 already got some new coaches lined up for next season. 644 00:42:02.300 --> 00:42:04.659 Hopefully we'll get most of these guys back next year. But, 645 00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:06.960 you know, we do 10 coaches show now. Look, I 646 00:42:06.980 --> 00:42:12.789 want to do 20 coaches shows. Jacqueline Pollock says Albany Herald. 647 00:42:12.829 --> 00:42:14.550 Now there's a newspaper I haven't heard the name of 648 00:42:14.590 --> 00:42:16.739 in a while. Yeah, it was. Albany Air, when I 649 00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:20.719 was there, we had a circulation of about 45,000. Seven 650 00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:25.050 days a week. Never stops. You know, the newspaper is 651 00:42:25.469 --> 00:42:29.730 one of the very few things that you start putting 652 00:42:29.789 --> 00:42:37.010 it together and it gets produced in a day and 653 00:42:38.750 --> 00:42:42.969 shelf life ends in about a 24-hour period. You have 654 00:42:42.989 --> 00:42:45.639 to have it out by 6 a.m. the next morning. 655 00:42:45.940 --> 00:42:48.760 And then you start all over again. One of the 656 00:42:48.780 --> 00:42:53.440 very few products, if you think about it. Robbie Hopkins, 657 00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:56.179 did you see Carroll City's punishment for the brawling? Grayson, 658 00:42:56.239 --> 00:43:00.980 I did. So there are no postseason. And I think 659 00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:08.489 they've got almost all their players suspended. Crazy thing is, 660 00:43:08.530 --> 00:43:12.530 like Dean Fabrizio and I talked about earlier today, they 661 00:43:12.550 --> 00:43:15.170 call Florida, we've always called Florida the wild, wild west. 662 00:43:16.699 --> 00:43:25.219 But it looks like, you know, Carroll City from Miami, boy, 663 00:43:25.260 --> 00:43:27.260 they really– and I'm talking about the Florida High School 664 00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:29.659 Association is what I'm talking about here. Because there was 665 00:43:29.699 --> 00:43:31.780 this kind of thing for a while there. The Florida 666 00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:34.150 High School Association had really no boundaries or had no 667 00:43:34.230 --> 00:43:36.369 limits on their teams or players. Well, it seemed like 668 00:43:36.389 --> 00:43:39.429 that changed with this Miami Carroll City team. Randy Morris 669 00:43:39.449 --> 00:43:41.710 checking in from Charlton County. Randy, what's going on, dog? 670 00:43:42.150 --> 00:43:44.510 What you got, man? Are you guys playing tonight? Y'all 671 00:43:44.530 --> 00:43:47.469 playing tomorrow? What's the deal? Update me. Ken Washington Jr. 672 00:43:47.510 --> 00:43:51.480 clarifies that it's 15 players from Miami Carroll City. Cairo 673 00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:54.300 now leads Shaw 53-18. Jacqueline Pollock, thank you for that. 674 00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:56.960 That thing may get up into the 70s before it's 675 00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:02.510 all over with. All right, looking for a final on 676 00:44:03.869 --> 00:44:15.539 Cook Brooks. I think last time my buddy– I think 677 00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:20.400 last time– let's see. I think last update we had 678 00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:24.929 was 15– no, 21-15. So if anybody gets an update 679 00:44:25.070 --> 00:44:30.909 on Brooks Cook, would love to hear that. Biggest upset 680 00:44:30.929 --> 00:44:33.730 of the night tonight was Mitchell County going to Homerville 681 00:44:33.809 --> 00:44:40.940 and beating Clinch. Huge, huge upset. 5-0-9, still left to 682 00:44:40.980 --> 00:44:44.210 go in the K-Road game. Ken Washington, Jr. says, I 683 00:44:44.250 --> 00:44:46.989 live down here. It's not usually that bad due to 684 00:44:47.010 --> 00:44:50.230 the strict punishments. They got outside of Florida and thought 685 00:44:50.269 --> 00:44:53.269 they were safe. LOL. Ken Washington, that's a great post, buddy. 686 00:44:55.139 --> 00:44:57.320 You know, and here's the deal. So that Miami Carroll 687 00:44:57.340 --> 00:44:59.519 City team, you know, they come to Georgia now. They 688 00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:04.800 came to Georgia and played Lee County, played Grayson. I'm 689 00:45:04.820 --> 00:45:06.280 trying to think if there's any other Georgia teams that 690 00:45:06.300 --> 00:45:09.610 they played. Kenneth Hurst, 21-15. Brooks is out of finals. 691 00:45:12.510 --> 00:45:16.590 Obadiah Farley, everyone shared the live so we can get 692 00:45:16.610 --> 00:45:19.269 some scores in. Thank you for that, Obadiah. Thank you 693 00:45:19.289 --> 00:45:22.059 for that. Let's get the live shared. Come on, let's go, guys. 694 00:45:22.659 --> 00:45:27.860 Jack it up a notch. Per GPB, final score in overtime, 695 00:45:28.059 --> 00:45:33.429 Hepzibah defeats Washington County 42-35. Jacqueline, I love it. You 696 00:45:33.449 --> 00:45:36.949 get some of these abstract scores. I did not have 697 00:45:37.010 --> 00:45:39.489 any idea what was happening. Randy Morris tells us that 698 00:45:39.530 --> 00:45:43.230 Charlton beat Atco. 48 to nothing tonight. Let me say 699 00:45:43.269 --> 00:45:48.329 this about Atkinson County. And, look, this is not trying 700 00:45:48.349 --> 00:45:50.710 to take a shot at anybody. I want to

see 701 00:45:50.750 --> 00:45:54.369 teams be competitive, whatever it takes. I think Atkinson County 702 00:45:54.409 --> 00:45:57.170 would probably do themselves a favor by maybe going to 703 00:45:57.190 --> 00:46:01.219 eight-man football. It's been a while since Atkinson County was competitive. 704 00:46:02.510 --> 00:46:04.199 And you can see, I mean, they're losing games pretty bad. 705 00:46:04.219 --> 00:46:07.599 Our fire football coach in Georgia tells us that Brooks 706 00:46:07.619 --> 00:46:11.139 is going to punt with about 25 seconds left. They're 707 00:46:11.159 --> 00:46:16.139 going to punt to Cook. They're up 21-15. Wow. So 708 00:46:16.610 --> 00:46:20.389 could Cook possibly run a punt back and wind up 709 00:46:20.429 --> 00:46:28.670 winning this 22-15? Yeah, I knew what you meant. Brokes 710 00:46:28.730 --> 00:46:31.650 up 21-15. I got you. So is it possible that– 711 00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:36.739 you kind of get these feelings sometimes. Yeah. Possible that 712 00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:44.809 Cook runs this punt back Possible that Cook does something freaky. 713 00:46:46.309 --> 00:46:50.010 Scores to tie it, and the extra point, they win it. Listen, 714 00:46:50.030 --> 00:46:51.329 we've had so many games like that this year. It 715 00:46:51.349 --> 00:46:55.639 wasn't surprising. But let's see. They're going to either set 716 00:46:55.699 --> 00:46:58.539 up a block or set up the return. Yep. Good 717 00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:00.179 call there. Let's keep an eye on that one. Fired. 718 00:47:00.579 --> 00:47:05.989 Jacqueline Pauling says, per GPB, final score, Lee County thrashes 719 00:47:06.139 --> 00:47:13.420 veterans 49 to nothing. Yep. Let me say this about 720 00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:15.579 Tift County. I know you guys might get tired of 721 00:47:15.659 --> 00:47:18.880 hearing me say this. Tift County was showing improvement under 722 00:47:18.940 --> 00:47:22.300 Jeff Littleton. You know, I mean, they had a lot 723 00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:28.469 of players back this year. This is not what I expected. 724 00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:34.769 Not what I expected. I'm beginning to think somebody's put 725 00:47:34.809 --> 00:47:39.369 a curse on Tift. They've got good players. I mean, look, 726 00:47:39.670 --> 00:47:42.610 there's some teams that are bad. Tift has got some talent. 727 00:47:45.190 --> 00:47:47.670 But it looks like they are still trying to figure 728 00:47:47.690 --> 00:47:51.730 out how to win. Okay. They led tonight by, I 729 00:47:54.650 --> 00:48:00.030 don't know, what, like eight points or something. They're losing 730 00:48:00.070 --> 00:48:02.429 these games late. It's like they're running out of steam 731 00:48:02.449 --> 00:48:12.829 or something. I don't know. Walter L. Johnson says it's 732 00:48:12.869 --> 00:48:18.489 now 53-25 K-Row. With 515 and counting to play and regulation. Yeah, K-Road. 733 00:48:18.510 --> 00:48:20.670 Look out for K-Road. By the way, the best coach 734 00:48:20.690 --> 00:48:23.159 you guys have never heard of is David Coleman of K-Road. 735 00:48:23.699 --> 00:48:29.940 Best coach. Guy is fantastic. Jacqueline Pollock. Per GBV final score, 736 00:48:29.980 --> 00:48:33.530 Randolph Clay defeats Seminole County 22-19. That's a good game 737 00:48:33.570 --> 00:48:38.250 right there, by the way, guys. Let me check. So 738 00:48:38.269 --> 00:48:40.469 we do, of course, our top ten. We are part 739 00:48:40.630 --> 00:48:44.639 of the statewide composite top ten that we do with 740 00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:51.159 the AJC, SCORE Atlanta, Max Preps, 680 Defend out of Atlanta, 741 00:48:51.619 --> 00:48:58.989 and a couple of other entities. And I've got Dylan Terry. 742 00:48:59.030 --> 00:49:01.030 What's going on, man? The game tomorrow is going to 743 00:49:01.050 --> 00:49:03.710 be interesting with Lowndes and Camden. That is. What do 744 00:49:03.730 --> 00:49:06.659 you think, Dylan? What do you think, Dylan? Who do 745 00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:09.380 you think's got it, man? I'm picking Lowndes. That was 746 00:49:09.420 --> 00:49:11.619 one of my pick six games, by the way. So 747 00:49:12.110 --> 00:49:16.869 Randolph Clay, by the way, is my fifth ranked team. 748 00:49:17.909 --> 00:49:28.699 And who do they beat? Seminole County? uh i think 749 00:49:28.739 --> 00:49:30.679 i put i think i dropped seminole out of the 750 00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:33.599 rankings but anyway still a big win for uh randolph 751 00:49:33.619 --> 00:49:38.119 clay and that's good because i had him ranked Kenneth Hurst, 752 00:49:38.260 --> 00:49:40.539 Tiff should stay home next week. Yeah, I mean, look. 753 00:49:46.590 --> 00:49:48.329 I would think that Justin Rogers is probably going to 754 00:49:48.349 --> 00:49:49.650 come out and play a lot of JV. I don't 755 00:49:49.690 --> 00:49:53.849 know yet. Gilbert Ellis Jr. is going to sign out 756 00:49:53.969 --> 00:49:57.329 on us. Good night, everyone. Stay safe over the weekend. Gilbert, 757 00:49:57.710 --> 00:49:59.510 thank you so much for checking out the show, my man. 758 00:49:59.989 --> 00:50:04.659 Appreciate that. Larry Pope, what's up? Phil? Phil? Thomasville beat 759 00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:08.460 Fitzgerald 24-21. Yes, they did. Larry, by the way, I 760 00:50:08.500 --> 00:50:11.440 know you were watching the live earlier this morning that 761 00:50:11.480 --> 00:50:14.300 I was doing with Todd Holcomb from the AJC. For 762 00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:18.309 some reason, man, I thought Valdosta had played Florida teams. 763 00:50:18.610 --> 00:50:21.829 Maybe I was thinking of last year. But you're right, man. 764 00:50:21.849 --> 00:50:24.650 They only had that one Florida team and they forfeited 765 00:50:24.730 --> 00:50:29.030 or the team forfeited to Valdosta. So anyway, Larry, I 766 00:50:29.050 --> 00:50:32.650 apologize for that, man. I saw your comment after I 767 00:50:32.670 --> 00:50:35.960 got off with with Todd. Ken Washington, Jr., I think

768 00:50:35.980 --> 00:50:38.039 Lowndes takes it due to Camden's defense, but I still 769 00:50:38.059 --> 00:50:39.179 think it will be a good game. I do, too. 770 00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:41.260 I do, too. I think it will be a touchdown game. 771 00:50:41.900 --> 00:50:44.460 Dylan Terry, to be honest, I think Lowndes got it, 772 00:50:44.550 --> 00:50:46.289 but I don't know because it's going to be their 773 00:50:46.670 --> 00:50:49.969 first competitive game. That's a good point. Now, for those 774 00:50:50.030 --> 00:50:51.389 of you that may not be in the know, you know, 775 00:50:51.449 --> 00:50:55.030 Lowndes has played a really soft schedule, and they've taken 776 00:50:55.050 --> 00:50:56.699 care of business, but this is going to be the 777 00:50:56.780 --> 00:51:03.820 first really tough game. Jacqueline Pollock says, North Hall has 778 00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:08.579 defeated Chester T 63-0. So it's another big win for 779 00:51:08.739 --> 00:51:13.099 North Hall, who, by the way, I have North Hall ranked. 780 00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:24.619 Where's North Hall at? I have them ranked ninth in 781 00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:29.090 Class 4A. So it's good when my ranked teams get 782 00:51:29.130 --> 00:51:31.340 a win. That means it makes you look like you 783 00:51:31.360 --> 00:51:33.820 know what you're talking about. By the way, I have 784 00:51:33.860 --> 00:51:39.619 called a lot of grief ranking Cedartown this year. Okay. Now, 785 00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:45.489 so far I've had the last laugh. Okay. I hear you, Bo. 786 00:51:45.510 --> 00:51:47.909 I hear you, buddy. It's all good, Phil. Just had 787 00:51:47.969 --> 00:51:51.409 to correct you guys. It's brotherly love. You got that right, dog. 788 00:51:51.630 --> 00:51:57.469 No sweat. But I've called grief on ranking Cedartown. Dylan Terry, 789 00:51:57.489 --> 00:51:58.630 I'm going to get you to comment here in a second. 790 00:52:00.369 --> 00:52:03.030 Matt Beecher, Pierce beat Tatton on 56-17. Man, we had 791 00:52:03.050 --> 00:52:06.260 some blowouts tonight, didn't we? Kenneth Hurst, Brooks has won. 792 00:52:06.449 --> 00:52:10.480 Brooks has defeated Cook. That is terrible for my buddy, Dr. 793 00:52:10.519 --> 00:52:13.900 Mike McCartney. He's my dentist, he's my friend, and he 794 00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:16.980 is the play-by-play voice of the Cook-I-Hornets. And he loves 795 00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:21.389 his Cook-I-Hornets. What's up, Justin Calhaly? Depends on what happens 796 00:52:21.409 --> 00:52:23.750 with the weather, I'll be at Lounds versus Camden or 797 00:52:23.789 --> 00:52:27.130 stay close to home with Dublin-Swainsboro. Let me know, buddy. 798 00:52:27.369 --> 00:52:29.670 Let me know what you're going to do there. So, Justin, 799 00:52:29.690 --> 00:52:31.059 do you think these games are going to make it? 800 00:52:32.550 --> 00:52:35.889 Do you think Camden– I don't know, man. I haven't 801 00:52:35.909 --> 00:52:40.670 saw the lace on the hurricane. But

I'm just surprised 802 00:52:40.690 --> 00:52:44.449 they're allowing Camden to travel across the state and back 803 00:52:45.389 --> 00:52:50.719 with this weather, this pending weather. I don't know. I'm 804 00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:53.820 just– I got a funny feeling. Let's watch out for 805 00:52:53.860 --> 00:52:57.800 that Lowndes-Camden game. That thing may get postponed. I'm just saying, 806 00:52:57.840 --> 00:52:59.659 keep an eye on it. Keep an eye on that. 807 00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:01.940 There's a good chance they're not going to play that game, 808 00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:05.159 but we'll see. Fire football coaches of Georgia, what's up, buddy? 809 00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:07.449 Brooks County has won it. That is a great win 810 00:53:07.840 --> 00:53:11.269 for head coach Josh McFather. You're absolutely right. Big win. 811 00:53:11.309 --> 00:53:14.309 If anybody needed a big win, if anybody needed any win, 812 00:53:14.570 --> 00:53:18.030 it was Josh McFather of Brooks County. Larry Polk says, 813 00:53:18.070 --> 00:53:20.170 if it rains a lot, like, lounge comfortably, but if 814 00:53:20.230 --> 00:53:23.889 it's not, only because due to Jace missing, Gaines got 815 00:53:23.909 --> 00:53:26.429 to get back together. That's a good call. So, Jace Johnson, 816 00:53:26.449 --> 00:53:29.389 they all, everything, Texas A & M commit for the 817 00:53:29.429 --> 00:53:32.530 Lowndes High Vikings. They've been very, very careful with him. 818 00:53:33.710 --> 00:53:35.309 You know, I do the weekly show with Adam Carter, 819 00:53:35.329 --> 00:53:37.789 the Lowndes High head coach, and he's pretty much been 820 00:53:38.010 --> 00:53:42.369 straightforward with me and said, look, we have treated it 821 00:53:42.449 --> 00:53:46.710 very gingerly, meaning with Jace. You know, they really don't 822 00:53:46.750 --> 00:53:48.449 gain a lot. You know, they do a lot of 823 00:53:48.489 --> 00:53:51.820 wildcat stuff, meaning they direct snap to Derek Woods, the 824 00:53:51.860 --> 00:53:54.840 running back, and they've been taking care of business. So 825 00:53:54.880 --> 00:53:57.119 we'll see if it is, you know, the downtime, the 826 00:53:57.159 --> 00:53:59.929 lack of activity, the lack of playing time has affected Jace. 827 00:53:59.949 --> 00:54:02.630 We'll find out if indeed they play that tomorrow. Guys, 828 00:54:02.750 --> 00:54:05.250 I'm calling it right now 50-50 whether that game is 829 00:54:05.269 --> 00:54:06.949 going to be played or not. I'm telling you. Have 830 00:54:06.969 --> 00:54:10.429 you all seen the forecast for tomorrow? I know we 831 00:54:10.489 --> 00:54:14.010 may not get the whole, you know, the whole enchilada, 832 00:54:14.050 --> 00:54:17.929 so to speak. But, I mean, they're forecasting like, you know, tornadoes. 833 00:54:18.909 --> 00:54:22.360 coming off these outer bands of this hurricane. I mean, 834 00:54:22.380 --> 00:54:26.079 I saw tonight like 40, 50-mile-per-hour gusts. That's wind. I mean,

835 00:54:26.099 --> 00:54:28.699 they ain't playing that. I got my doubt. We'll see. 836 00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:31.400 Justin Cahaley, what's up, buddy? I think so last weekend 837 00:54:31.460 --> 00:54:33.679 it dumped eight inches of rain. I don't think it'll 838 00:54:33.699 --> 00:54:36.530 be anywhere. Well, you're right. That's a good point. If 839 00:54:36.550 --> 00:54:38.869 they played an eight inches of rain last week, they 840 00:54:38.909 --> 00:54:42.170 may be able to play. But, Justin, stay in touch 841 00:54:42.190 --> 00:54:45.929 with me about where you're going to be tomorrow. Dylan Terry, 842 00:54:45.989 --> 00:54:49.179 Coach Cater got those guys– oh, you mean Coach Carter. 843 00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:51.500 Coach Carter got those guys ready. They're going to be 844 00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:53.639 put on the show. I'll get it done. Yeah, I 845 00:54:53.679 --> 00:55:00.090 hear you. Matt Beecher tells us that Wheeler County is upset. Trootland, 28-16. 846 00:55:00.130 --> 00:55:03.389 Was that an upset? You know, I think I just 847 00:55:03.510 --> 00:55:14.860 ranked Trootland for the first time this week. But anyway, 848 00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:16.239 let me get back to this. So I've been catching 849 00:55:16.260 --> 00:55:20.800 a lot of heat for ranking Cedartown. Okay. Everybody looks 850 00:55:20.860 --> 00:55:23.800 at Cedartown last year. They finished two and eight. Well, 851 00:55:23.960 --> 00:55:26.880 I don't rank teams, and I don't think it's wise 852 00:55:26.900 --> 00:55:31.780 to judge teams based on their record last year. A 853 00:55:33.099 --> 00:55:37.440 couple of years ago, Irwin County was coming off about 854 00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:41.880 a 10-year, one of the most dominant 10-year runs of 855 00:55:42.059 --> 00:55:45.050 any team in this state regardless of classification. But I 856 00:55:45.130 --> 00:55:48.070 saw where they were losing everybody. So I did not 857 00:55:48.150 --> 00:55:52.949 rank them in the preseason, class A, double, whatever division 858 00:55:52.969 --> 00:55:55.320 that was. I'm so glad they've done away with that. 859 00:55:55.389 --> 00:55:57.360 And I got called every name in the book for 860 00:55:57.420 --> 00:56:00.059 not having an Irwin County rank. People ask me, are 861 00:56:00.099 --> 00:56:04.780 you crazy? Well, I may be. But that was the year, 862 00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:09.260 you know, last year that Irwin County didn't, was it 863 00:56:09.300 --> 00:56:11.469 last year? Yeah, they didn't win a game or won 864 00:56:11.530 --> 00:56:13.760 a game in it. They went like three or four 865 00:56:13.800 --> 00:56:15.559 games to score a point. So I could kind of 866 00:56:15.579 --> 00:56:17.420 see that coming. It's not that hard. I just like 867 00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:21.039 to see how many players, starters, key contributors of teams losing. 868 00:56:21.400 --> 00:56:23.320 And that's the way it was with Cedartown. I saw 869 00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:25.510 that Cedartown finished 2-8, but they were bringing everybody back 870 00:56:25.550 --> 00:56:26.570 this year, so I thought they were going to be 871 00:56:26.590 --> 00:56:28.230 a little bit better. So I ranked them in the 872 00:56:28.250 --> 00:56:30.550 top ten. Again, everybody's been calling me every name in 873 00:56:30.570 --> 00:56:34.170 the book, all these Rock Mart fans, you know, whatever, 874 00:56:34.230 --> 00:56:37.730 making fun of me. I don't care. So, so far, Cedartown, 875 00:56:38.929 --> 00:56:41.429 after losing to Rock Mart, I think they won five. 876 00:56:42.099 --> 00:56:44.119 either five or six straight. Now they're going to play 877 00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:46.679 Cartersville tomorrow and I get it. They'll lose. So does 878 00:56:46.739 --> 00:56:49.980 everybody else lose to Cartersville? That's another team that's pretty dominant, Cartersville. 879 00:56:50.639 --> 00:56:52.139 I mean, they beat a good cast team 50 to 880 00:56:52.219 --> 00:56:55.360 nothing last week. So just because I rank a team 881 00:56:55.400 --> 00:56:56.980 doesn't mean I'm saying they're going to beat the number 882 00:56:57.019 --> 00:56:58.219 one team in the state. You know what I mean? 883 00:56:58.780 --> 00:57:03.829 So anyway, Cedartown so far, you know, top 10 team, 884 00:57:04.789 --> 00:57:06.809 maybe in the back half of the top 10, but nevertheless, 885 00:57:06.849 --> 00:57:08.610 so far so good for Cedartown. Just thought I'd throw 886 00:57:08.630 --> 00:57:12.590 that out there. Um, Stephen K. Wynn, yeah, man, we 887 00:57:12.610 --> 00:57:15.389 got an update on this. Fire football coach of Georgia 888 00:57:15.409 --> 00:57:17.570 was giving me an update on Tiff Northside. That's such 889 00:57:17.590 --> 00:57:21.659 a bad loss for Tiff County, man. My gosh, that's 890 00:57:21.699 --> 00:57:25.780 a bad loss. Yeah, James Romer, it has been mentioned. 891 00:57:29.500 --> 00:57:35.280 My gosh. Larry Pope, Phil, I can't wait for Valdez 892 00:57:35.300 --> 00:57:39.059 to play next week. Also being broadcast by GPB two weeks. Yeah, yeah. 893 00:57:41.059 --> 00:57:43.860 Four days off is too long. So, GPB is going 894 00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:49.050 to come do a rare South Georgia game between Colquitt County. 895 00:57:49.090 --> 00:57:51.949 I call them Colquitt. They're going to come to Colquitt 896 00:57:52.010 --> 00:57:56.110 and do the Colquitt-Valdosta game. A very rare South Georgia 897 00:57:56.409 --> 00:58:01.039 GPB broadcast. In fairness, GPB, a lot of you guys 898 00:58:01.059 --> 00:58:03.559 talk about GPB never coming to South Georgia. Do y'all 899 00:58:03.579 --> 00:58:11.389 know the enormous production cost? that GPP has to incur. 900 00:58:12.269 --> 00:58:20.170 And remember, this is Georgia Public Television. Okay. They have 901 00:58:20.230 --> 00:58:24.929 a mobile production truck. It's an 18-wheeler. It's just like 902 00:58:24.949 --> 00:58:27.280 an 18-wheeler that would haul tomatoes or

something going down 903 00:58:27.300 --> 00:58:29.219 the road except for that big GPP sports on the side. 904 00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:37.480 But inside that tractor trailer is a full-scale professional mobile 905 00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:42.679 production facility. So they go park that thing close to 906 00:58:42.699 --> 00:58:46.760 the stadium, and you've got Matt Stewart up in the 907 00:58:47.179 --> 00:58:50.019 press box doing the play-by-play while the guys in the 908 00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:56.550 truck are producing it and sending it out to cable 909 00:58:56.590 --> 00:58:59.150 providers and what have you across the state. That's how 910 00:58:59.210 --> 00:59:01.389 they send their signal out. Now, the farther they get 911 00:59:01.409 --> 00:59:04.329 from North Georgia, which is their home in Atlanta, the 912 00:59:04.389 --> 00:59:08.090 tougher it gets, the more expensive it gets. So be 913 00:59:08.170 --> 00:59:11.579 cool to our friends at GPB. and good for them 914 00:59:11.880 --> 00:59:14.360 to be coming to south georgia to do a game 915 00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:17.550 but again just to tell you why they don't do 916 00:59:17.590 --> 00:59:22.349 that because it is an enormous enormous cost for gpb 917 00:59:22.769 --> 00:59:25.610 and remember their funding was already cut uh which i 918 00:59:25.610 --> 00:59:26.929 don't really have an opinion on either way one way 919 00:59:26.949 --> 00:59:29.400 or the other but um yeah their funding which they 920 00:59:29.420 --> 00:59:33.960 get from the federal government. It was cut. Anyway. Stephen 921 00:59:33.980 --> 00:59:36.460 King win. Yeah, Northside has a bad loss. Bad loss. 922 00:59:36.500 --> 00:59:40.079 I'm tired of seeing these losses by Tiff. It's tough, man. 923 00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:42.019 And that's a game you should have won. That's a 924 00:59:42.139 --> 00:59:44.699 game Tiff County should have won. Tiff County led the game, 925 00:59:44.860 --> 00:59:47.610 and they lost it. They let it get away. Tiff 926 00:59:47.619 --> 00:59:50.690 County's had two good wins this year. Well, that's not true. 927 00:59:50.829 --> 00:59:52.650 They've had three good wins. They beat a good Effingham 928 00:59:52.690 --> 00:59:56.329 County team up there. They beat a good Crisp County 929 00:59:56.389 --> 01:00:07.960 team up there. And they beat who else? I know 930 01:00:07.980 --> 01:00:12.659 Tiff County's won three games, haven't they? Who am I missing? Anyway, 931 01:00:13.570 --> 01:00:15.949 these are games Tiff County should be winning. Tiff County 932 01:00:16.010 --> 01:00:18.769 right now is projected to make the playoffs. They have 933 01:00:18.809 --> 01:00:22.389 a PSR of like 22. Top 32 teams get in. 934 01:00:22.789 --> 01:00:24.329 But if you keep losing games like this, you're going 935 01:00:24.349 --> 01:00:28.530 to fall out. Randy Morris said we had 13 inches 936 01:00:28.570 --> 01:00:34.389 of rain. Where was that, Randy? Lowndes? Kareem Hess. Kareem, 937 01:00:34.849 --> 01:00:39.750 we've been talking about you tonight. Big win, big dog. 938 01:00:40.389 --> 01:00:44.429 Kareem Hess, the head coach of the Mitchell County Eagles, 939 01:00:44.780 --> 01:00:50.260 gets the biggest win of the night, of the week. 940 01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:51.659 That might be the biggest win of the year. I 941 01:00:51.659 --> 01:00:54.059 think it's Mitchell County's biggest win in 20 years, like 942 01:00:54.079 --> 01:00:56.880 somebody else pointed out. Kareem Hess, thanks so much for 943 01:00:56.900 --> 01:00:59.099 joining us, brother, head coach of the Mitchell County Eagles. 944 01:00:59.119 --> 01:01:03.199 That's a big, big win. Not even ranked in the AJC, 945 01:01:03.239 --> 01:01:05.860 but we got you ranked, don't we, dog? Don't I 946 01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:08.659 have you ranked? I sure do. So I'm giving you 947 01:01:08.679 --> 01:01:14.159 the love. Who cares about AJC, Kareem? We got you, dog. 948 01:01:14.199 --> 01:01:20.170 We got you covered. Congratulations, Kareem. Big win. They go 949 01:01:20.269 --> 01:01:24.230 to Homerville. They beat a good Clinch County team. Remember, 950 01:01:24.250 --> 01:01:26.010 Clinch County was the team I had preseason number one. 951 01:01:28.289 --> 01:01:31.469 That's a big win for you guys, Kareem. Great, great, 952 01:01:31.889 --> 01:01:40.010 great win. Congratulations, brother. Irwin County beats Lanier County 49-14. Yikes. Now, see, 953 01:01:40.030 --> 01:01:43.739 that's a bad loss for Lanier. I was just talking 954 01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:48.139 about Irwin. You know, they're still struggling, but Lanier's struggling. 955 01:01:48.179 --> 01:01:50.969 That's– That's a tough loss for Lanier County. It's a 956 01:01:50.969 --> 01:01:53.130 good win for Irwin County. Thanks, Matt Beecher, for that. 957 01:01:53.889 --> 01:01:56.389 Ken Washington, Jr. has got a question for me. Phil, 958 01:01:56.409 --> 01:01:58.420 I have to ask you. I know everybody had Kip 959 01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:01.079 Collegiate Atlanta as a laughingstock before they played Valdosta, but 960 01:02:01.579 --> 01:02:03.260 they've shut everybody out for the most part and have 961 01:02:03.300 --> 01:02:05.860 found themselves in the rankings in a few polls, including ours. 962 01:02:06.940 --> 01:02:09.139 Are they still considered a cupcake, at least in 3A? 963 01:02:09.179 --> 01:02:14.179 I'm telling you they were competitive. No, they're not a cupcake. No. No. So, Ken, 964 01:02:14.219 --> 01:02:19.079 do you understand what, you know, Do you understand that 965 01:02:19.179 --> 01:02:24.320 we are part of the composite rankings, the weekly statewide 966 01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:28.699 composite rankings? When you guys open on Wednesday morning, the 967 01:02:28.739 --> 01:02:32.719 AJC gives you the top 10, or that's actually top 968 01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:37.590 15 in every classification. Okay, Ken, in case you didn't know, 969 01:02:38.610 --> 01:02:42.150 that's us.

I do that on Sunday. I rank all 970 01:02:42.210 --> 01:02:44.929 the teams. I send it in to my buddy Todd 971 01:02:44.949 --> 01:02:50.980 at the AJC. So it's our rankings. It's the AJC's rankings. 972 01:02:51.659 --> 01:02:57.360 It's 680, the fan out of Atlanta's rankings. It's Score Atlanta. 973 01:02:57.880 --> 01:03:00.659 It's Maxwell Ratings. And I think it's Recruit Georgia. It's 974 01:03:00.760 --> 01:03:04.570 us six. So that is together. And the reason I 975 01:03:04.630 --> 01:03:07.389 point that out is that is the way it should be. 976 01:03:08.090 --> 01:03:11.150 People should not be saying, well, just one poll. We're 977 01:03:11.190 --> 01:03:14.190 not in this one poll or that one poll. Look 978 01:03:14.210 --> 01:03:18.179 at the composite rankings. That's six different entities, and we 979 01:03:18.440 --> 01:03:22.019 all are pretty close for the teams that we have. 980 01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:24.840 You can actually see how we each voted. If you 981 01:03:24.860 --> 01:03:28.099 guys will look at the Georgia High School Football Daily 982 01:03:28.440 --> 01:03:31.400 every Wednesday morning, you can see how we all voted. 983 01:03:31.699 --> 01:03:35.320 It's got our ITG next votes. It tells who I 984 01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:39.440 voted for as far as the rankings go. It tells 985 01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:43.219 you how I have one team in what place. And 986 01:03:43.239 --> 01:03:45.539 he does that for everybody. So, anyway, Ken, check that out, man. 987 01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:51.039 You'll see kind of how we all rank teams. But, yeah, 988 01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:53.099 so speaking of that, let me see what I got. 989 01:03:54.050 --> 01:03:59.750 Talking about Kip Collegiate. Got to love that name, though. 990 01:03:59.769 --> 01:04:06.719 They got to change that. Kip Collegiate Academy. So I've 991 01:04:06.739 --> 01:04:11.360 got a ninth in 3A. So, yeah, I'm sorry I'm 992 01:04:11.380 --> 01:04:17.530 not taking a lot. Randy Morris says, that was like 993 01:04:17.630 --> 01:04:26.949 Charlton when Coach Mack left. Randy, what are you talking about? 994 01:04:26.969 --> 01:04:28.710 Are you talking about like the comparisons to Tiff County 995 01:04:28.750 --> 01:04:37.710 or what? Yeah, what was the coach at Charlton County? 996 01:04:38.130 --> 01:04:44.780 I can't believe I can't remember his name. Mack Warder. 997 01:04:45.369 --> 01:04:51.550 Coach McWhorter. Yeah, Coach McWhorter, is that right? Man, one 998 01:04:51.570 --> 01:04:58.039 of the best ever. I had guys that I knew 999 01:04:58.119 --> 01:05:05.619 that refereed. And they would tell me, I would ask them, man, 1000 01:05:05.659 --> 01:05:08.579 where are you going this week? Oh, we're going to 1001 01:05:08.619 --> 01:05:11.030 the best place in the state. I'm like, where's that? 1002 01:05:11.190 --> 01:05:15.800 The Swamp. And, um, I guess it was a combination 1003 01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:21.349 of Charlton County and Clinch County, both those places. Because 1004 01:05:21.369 --> 01:05:23.550 they were both really, really good, both top programs in 1005 01:05:23.570 --> 01:05:25.750 the state. And they said, man, there was nothing like 1006 01:05:25.829 --> 01:05:32.809 going there. But I know the Boss Bailey, Champ Bailey, 1007 01:05:32.829 --> 01:05:39.900 the Bailey brothers, they played at Charlton, didn't they? Yeah, anyway. 1008 01:05:40.599 --> 01:05:43.579 Stephen K. Wynn, yes, that is a bad loss for Tift. 1009 01:05:44.340 --> 01:05:47.679 You're right. And I'm tired of talking about it. No offense. 1010 01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:50.539 I hate that. It's a shame they should have won, man. 1011 01:05:50.659 --> 01:05:53.199 I kept up with them. They were winning the whole game, Steve. 1012 01:05:53.559 --> 01:05:57.849 And they let it get away. Man, I'm going to 1013 01:05:57.869 --> 01:06:04.309 start cussing if I don't watch out. Thank God. That's 1014 01:06:05.659 --> 01:06:09.179 going to be hard. Whatever. Larry Pope is replying to 1015 01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:12.050 Ken Washington, Jr. All the teams they played are either 1016 01:06:12.090 --> 01:06:14.650 undefeated region player, thriving in region and rankings. But Phil 1017 01:06:14.690 --> 01:06:20.460 just wants us to play guys like TCC Lee. He 1018 01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:22.480 just wants what's best for the fans and brand, and 1019 01:06:22.500 --> 01:06:24.139 that's fair enough. So I don't see what's wrong with 1020 01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:27.559 yours or his side. Yeah, look, I always want teams 1021 01:06:27.599 --> 01:06:30.360 to play the best teams, of course. And, look, I 1022 01:06:30.380 --> 01:06:32.920 mentioned this this morning, by the way, Larry. I don't 1023 01:06:33.139 --> 01:06:35.159 know if you saw this. It's like when I told– 1024 01:06:35.179 --> 01:06:36.619 by the way, you guys need to go back and 1025 01:06:36.659 --> 01:06:41.050 watch myself and Todd Holcomb from earlier this morning. Todd is, 1026 01:06:41.090 --> 01:06:43.050 he is the guy when it comes to Georgia high 1027 01:06:43.070 --> 01:06:47.550 school football. Todd is just cool, calm, collected, but he 1028 01:06:47.610 --> 01:06:49.400 is just an encyclopedia when it comes to Georgia high 1029 01:06:49.420 --> 01:06:53.280 school football. And he said, we were talking about, and 1030 01:06:53.900 --> 01:06:55.360 I actually threw this out there. I said, you know, 1031 01:06:55.980 --> 01:06:59.800 kudos to Ballard Austin and Shelton Felton. They came up with, 1032 01:07:00.059 --> 01:07:02.039 when all these coaches were trying to come up with 1033 01:07:02.099 --> 01:07:05.280 just the right schedule that would get them a high 1034 01:07:05.400 --> 01:07:08.849 seed in this PSR. Well, Coach Felton, man, nailed it. 1035 01:07:09.710 --> 01:07:13.519 You know, Everybody's been kind of beating up on Valdosta 1036 01:07:13.539 --> 01:07:15.380 a little bit. I've actually been in that conversation because 1037 01:07:15.400 -->

01:07:18.139 they've played a lot of these light teams, I'll call them. 1038 01:07:18.500 --> 01:07:21.639 But there are teams that are good enough with winning 1039 01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:25.079 records who have played other good teams, and that's how 1040 01:07:25.099 --> 01:07:28.699 you get your points. You beat teams with winning records, 1041 01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:34.869 and you beat teams whose opponents have winning records. And 1042 01:07:34.889 --> 01:07:37.190 that's how all this thing works. And that's why Valdosta 1043 01:07:37.289 --> 01:07:38.840 is– they're going to get the number one seed in 7-0. 1044 01:07:41.289 --> 01:07:42.409 And I'm going to be honest with you. I'll say 1045 01:07:42.429 --> 01:07:46.710 this right now. Valdosta, with that top seed, the way 1046 01:07:46.750 --> 01:07:49.690 this thing is laid out, Valdosta is going to have 1047 01:07:49.730 --> 01:07:54.219 a pretty nice path that if they take care of business, 1048 01:07:55.860 --> 01:07:58.900 they're going to be, they've got a very, very good 1049 01:07:58.960 --> 01:08:03.460 chance of playing for a state title. I'm just telling you, 1050 01:08:03.500 --> 01:08:06.239 watch out. Because I've seen some of the projections that 1051 01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:10.889 they've made. Lauren Maxwell has already made some projections where 1052 01:08:11.429 --> 01:08:14.250 You know, if you get the number one seed, you're 1053 01:08:14.269 --> 01:08:17.170 going to be set up pretty good. So keep an 1054 01:08:17.310 --> 01:08:21.649 eye on Valdosta in the playoff. They could make some noise, 1055 01:08:22.149 --> 01:08:27.720 for sure. Bruce Carter, what's going on, dog? Baker County 1056 01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:32.460 at Young Americans Christian in Conyers was canceled altogether. We 1057 01:08:32.500 --> 01:08:34.460 offered to come up tonight, but they said no. So 1058 01:08:34.500 --> 01:08:36.600 it goes down as a no contest from other schools. Well, 1059 01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:41.340 why is that not a forfeit, Brooks? You guys should 1060 01:08:41.359 --> 01:08:44.899 get the win, right? Win by forfeit. One to nothing. 1061 01:08:44.930 --> 01:08:50.750 What's going on? Jacqueline Pauly says, The South Georgia game, 1062 01:08:50.770 --> 01:08:56.369 GBB should broadcast, is the Lowndes-Valdosta game at the Concrete Palace. Well, 1063 01:08:56.510 --> 01:09:01.720 there's only one problem with that. Lowndes. does not put 1064 01:09:01.729 --> 01:09:07.420 up with that. No TV, no stream, no, no, no. Valdosta, 1065 01:09:07.520 --> 01:09:12.140 with the largest season ticket base in the state, they 1066 01:09:12.260 --> 01:09:15.180 value people paying to come to the game, and I 1067 01:09:15.180 --> 01:09:19.020 don't blame them. Lowndes has got a very good business model. 1068 01:09:20.149 --> 01:09:21.529 They have a lot of people that pay to come 1069 01:09:21.550 --> 01:09:22.899 to the game, and they're not going to mess that up, 1070 01:09:22.930 --> 01:09:25.090 and they're going to blame them. Yeah, I think streaming, 1071 01:09:25.800 --> 01:09:28.380 and we streamed games for about four or five years. 1072 01:09:28.619 --> 01:09:29.939 We had our Friday night game of the week. I 1073 01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:34.319 went all over the state doing games. In fact, we 1074 01:09:34.399 --> 01:09:40.060 were one of the very, very few teams or companies 1075 01:09:40.180 --> 01:09:46.300 that were allowed to stream a Lowndes home game. We 1076 01:09:46.380 --> 01:09:52.079 sure did. Now, we put together a deal with Lowndes, 1077 01:09:53.300 --> 01:09:56.550 the terms of which I'm not going to disclose. Let's 1078 01:09:56.569 --> 01:09:58.550 just say there was something in it for everybody. But 1079 01:09:58.829 --> 01:10:02.449 we streamed maybe one of the very, maybe the last, 1080 01:10:02.489 --> 01:10:05.710 I don't know, one of the very, very few media 1081 01:10:05.810 --> 01:10:10.510 outlets that have streamed a game at Lowndes. It was 1082 01:10:10.569 --> 01:10:12.770 Lowndes versus Lee. It was the game that Dean Fabrizio 1083 01:10:12.789 --> 01:10:16.510 got kicked out. And he actually takes me from the 1084 01:10:16.529 --> 01:10:18.970 locker room when he did. I'm like, didn't you? As 1085 01:10:19.010 --> 01:10:21.170 Larry was with me during the game. But anyway, that 1086 01:10:21.189 --> 01:10:22.449 was a lot of fun. But you're probably not going 1087 01:10:22.470 --> 01:10:25.449 to see many games broadcast live from lounge. This is 1088 01:10:25.470 --> 01:10:31.369 not something they do. Cole Moore, Tiff County belongs nowhere 1089 01:10:31.390 --> 01:10:37.479 near the playoffs. Well, I understand what you're saying. But, again, 1090 01:10:37.520 --> 01:10:39.939 the way the PSR is set up, there's a lot 1091 01:10:39.979 --> 01:10:44.779 of teams that can probably say that. So, anyway, it 1092 01:10:44.840 --> 01:10:51.260 is what it is. Bruce Carter, Randolph Clay, 22-19 over 1093 01:10:51.300 --> 01:10:56.149 Seminole County. Randolph Clay is 7-0. Oh, yeah, someone gave 1094 01:10:56.159 --> 01:10:58.350 us that score a while ago. Absolutely, yeah. Randolph Clay 1095 01:10:58.770 --> 01:11:01.350 is tough. In fact, Brooks, I was talking about this earlier. 1096 01:11:01.430 --> 01:11:06.850 I've got Randolph Clay ranked fifth right now in Class A. 1097 01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:12.640 And depending on how the team's ahead of them, So 1098 01:11:12.659 --> 01:11:15.460 I've got Johnson County, Lincoln County, Macon County, Clinch County. 1099 01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:17.500 Clinch is going to– okay, so see, Clinch County is 1100 01:11:17.520 --> 01:11:19.520 going to drop because of this loss to Mitchell County. 1101 01:11:20.899 --> 01:11:23.569 So Randall Clay with that win tonight, Randall Clay is 1102 01:11:23.590 --> 01:11:25.409 going to at least probably move up to fourth, maybe higher. 1103 01:11:25.449 --> 01:11:30.989 But I work on my rankings every Sunday. Kareem

Hess, 1104 01:11:31.050 --> 01:11:32.409 I know somebody else is going to be moving up. 1105 01:11:33.609 --> 01:11:38.479 Mitchell County, the Eagles of Kareem Hess get the biggest 1106 01:11:38.640 --> 01:11:45.250 win of the night going to– in beating Rance Morgan's 1107 01:11:45.310 --> 01:11:48.090 Clinch County Panthers. That's a big win. That's the upset 1108 01:11:48.109 --> 01:11:49.550 of the night, and that's probably the biggest win for 1109 01:11:49.590 --> 01:11:54.140 Mitchell County football in 20 years. Big win. Congratulations, Kareem Hess. Who, 1110 01:11:54.159 --> 01:11:56.340 by the way, Kareem Hess, the former Chief County Blue Devil. 1111 01:11:59.560 --> 01:12:05.319 Kareem Hess was a beast of a running back. Of course, 1112 01:12:05.359 --> 01:12:12.329 I mean that with all sincerity and compliments. Jacqueline Pollock says, 1113 01:12:12.369 --> 01:12:14.130 I'd like to see KRO, TCC, and Thomasville in their 1114 01:12:14.149 --> 01:12:16.850 respective state championship games. It'd be cool if out-of-state allowance 1115 01:12:16.890 --> 01:12:20.930 was in, too. Yeah, listen, I've always said, okay, and 1116 01:12:20.970 --> 01:12:23.529 if you know football in the state, especially in South Georgia, 1117 01:12:23.550 --> 01:12:27.840 you'll understand what I'm saying. It's important that programs like 1118 01:12:28.100 --> 01:12:34.180 Thomasville are good in football because Thomasville went through a 1119 01:12:34.199 --> 01:12:38.439 stretch there where they went through some lean years. Of course, 1120 01:12:38.460 --> 01:12:41.310 Thomas County Central did, too. But it's good for the 1121 01:12:41.409 --> 01:12:48.029 city of Thomasville to have good football. Thomasville, as much 1122 01:12:48.069 --> 01:12:50.630 history as there is in Valdosta, I'd get that. But 1123 01:12:50.670 --> 01:12:53.149 Thomasville is just one of those unique towns, man. It's 1124 01:12:53.239 --> 01:12:58.720 like the center of the South Georgia high school football universe. Again, 1125 01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:00.640 if you know, you know. And if I got to 1126 01:13:00.659 --> 01:13:06.550 explain it to you, then, you know, why not? Anyway. Okay, 1127 01:13:06.590 --> 01:13:08.649 Obadah Farley asking me what my shocker and upset of 1128 01:13:08.670 --> 01:13:10.170 the night. I hope you just heard me. It's definitely, 1129 01:13:10.329 --> 01:13:15.890 without a doubt, clear cut. Mitchell County defeating Clinch County. Boom. 1130 01:13:16.850 --> 01:13:19.590 Biggest upset of the night. Obadah, that may be the 1131 01:13:19.609 --> 01:13:24.569 biggest upset of the year. Randy Morris. So you're in Folkestone. 1132 01:13:24.970 --> 01:13:35.189 I got you. So, Brooks, why do y'all not get 1133 01:13:36.029 --> 01:13:38.069 the win by forfeit tonight? You got to explain that 1134 01:13:38.149 --> 01:13:44.020 one to me. Matt Beecher agrees with me. Mitchell over Clinch. 1135 01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:47.539 Kareem Hess, man, you should not even have to buy 1136 01:13:47.579 --> 01:13:52.380 a meal for the rest of your life. I'm telling you, man. 1137 01:13:52.739 --> 01:13:56.510 It's huge. Ken Washington Jr. said, yeah, I see it 1138 01:13:56.609 --> 01:13:59.510 all as all of you guys' rankings. Yes. Yeah. You 1139 01:13:59.529 --> 01:14:01.010 can see how we all voted. You can see how 1140 01:14:01.050 --> 01:14:03.810 we all ranked teams. There's no hiding it. And I 1141 01:14:03.850 --> 01:14:10.890 like that. Talking about the Georgia composite rankings, which we 1142 01:14:10.909 --> 01:14:14.159 are a part of. Brooks Carter, early counting 22, nothing 1143 01:14:14.180 --> 01:14:23.989 over Pelham. Actually, I thought it was worse than that. Yeah, Brooks, 1144 01:14:24.069 --> 01:14:33.399 I had 42 to nothing early over Pelham. So, Erling 1145 01:14:33.420 --> 01:14:36.239 County going to go to Randolph-Clay next week. Both are 1146 01:14:36.279 --> 01:14:43.899 unbeaten in the region. See, that's the beauty of what 1147 01:14:43.939 --> 01:14:46.119 region play does. That's why this win tonight by Brooks 1148 01:14:46.149 --> 01:14:50.739 County is so big. And listen, this is pretty typical 1149 01:14:50.779 --> 01:14:56.810 of Brooks. They've always had a slow start. But it's 1150 01:14:56.869 --> 01:15:00.579 like Jeff Littleton, of all people. Jeff Littleton led the 1151 01:15:00.600 --> 01:15:05.659 Bamers to one of the more improbable state championships in 2018. 1152 01:15:05.659 --> 01:15:07.399 So if anybody wants to say the guy can't coach, 1153 01:15:07.439 --> 01:15:10.649 then you don't know what you're talking about. Jeff Littleton 1154 01:15:10.689 --> 01:15:19.630 inherited an absolute mess that was brought forth by, who 1155 01:15:19.649 --> 01:15:22.189 was the Tiff County guy? Dean, was it Nathan? What 1156 01:15:22.210 --> 01:15:26.550 was his name? Noel Dean. The worst thing that could 1157 01:15:26.569 --> 01:15:28.840 have ever happened at Tiff County. Jeff County is still 1158 01:15:28.880 --> 01:15:32.380 recovering from that. So anyway, but Jeff Littleton wasn't one 1159 01:15:32.399 --> 01:15:33.619 to always hit, man. It doesn't matter how you start, 1160 01:15:33.640 --> 01:15:40.130 it's how you finish. And Jeff Littleton's 2018 Babers team 1161 01:15:40.149 --> 01:15:43.850 was 5-5. In fact, I think they started off like 1-3. 1162 01:15:45.550 --> 01:15:47.770 But they come back, finish 5-5, and then won five 1163 01:15:47.789 --> 01:15:50.449 straight in the playoffs, including a big second-round win over 1164 01:15:50.529 --> 01:15:56.789 Buford to win the 2018 Class 5A state championship. Randy 1165 01:15:56.810 --> 01:15:59.329 Moore says, it is Champ Bailey Field now. How about that? 1166 01:16:00.550 --> 01:16:07.600 And it should be. I heard about Massalon, which is 1167 01:16:07.640 --> 01:16:09.819 crazy because they have the money and support to do it. But, hey, 1168 01:16:09.880 --> 01:16:11.600 in TCC, we're going to

play later. Oh, it's about 1169 01:16:11.640 --> 01:16:14.119 Massalon at TCC. By the way, you guys, we have 1170 01:16:14.180 --> 01:16:22.079 put together a pretty nice and extensive documentary on Massalon football. 1171 01:16:24.460 --> 01:16:27.859 It should be, hopefully, it should be available to watch. 1172 01:16:28.590 --> 01:16:36.270 I think we've got some screenings planned for it. But, yeah, 1173 01:16:36.310 --> 01:16:39.210 our very own Mark Dykes went up there and talked 1174 01:16:39.250 --> 01:16:43.569 to a lot of former Massalon players. Chris Spillman, I 1175 01:16:43.590 --> 01:16:48.619 think Chris Spillman was a Massalon player, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, 1176 01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:51.359 we've got a lot of good stuff. But a full 1177 01:16:51.880 --> 01:16:58.060 feature documentary. we have produced with Massillon football. They're a 1178 01:16:58.060 --> 01:17:02.000 good program. And they're getting close to Valdosta in the 1179 01:17:02.079 --> 01:17:05.739 overall win total. That was a great game that those 1180 01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:07.640 two programs played a couple of years ago up there 1181 01:17:08.039 --> 01:17:14.989 in Massillon. Poncellus Evans checking in. Big win for Ward tonight. Yes, 1182 01:17:15.050 --> 01:17:18.250 it was. Big win. Matt Beecher says, Coach, Rich McWhorter 1183 01:17:18.310 --> 01:17:20.050 is one of the top five coaches ever, in my opinion. 1184 01:17:20.069 --> 01:17:22.060 I agree with you. On that, had a great program 1185 01:17:22.079 --> 01:17:24.840 down in the swamp in Charlton County. Won four state titles, 1186 01:17:24.979 --> 01:17:27.779 three in a row at one point in the early 2000s. 1187 01:17:27.979 --> 01:17:34.560 Isn't it funny how some of these programs dominate? And 1188 01:17:34.619 --> 01:17:40.619 I've talked about this before, Matt. There's two things in 1189 01:17:40.659 --> 01:17:47.039 high school football. Coach, quarterback. You find the right guy, 1190 01:17:49.420 --> 01:17:54.029 head coach, quarterback. That could make all the difference in 1191 01:17:54.050 --> 01:17:57.800 your program if you have them, if you don't have them. 1192 01:17:57.819 --> 01:18:00.180 And I have talked about this numerous times. Some of 1193 01:18:00.220 --> 01:18:02.479 you maybe get tired of me saying this, but I 1194 01:18:02.479 --> 01:18:04.199 know we have some new people on the show every week, 1195 01:18:04.260 --> 01:18:06.420 and I like to make sure that I let people 1196 01:18:06.460 --> 01:18:08.060 know about this and how I feel about it because 1197 01:18:08.079 --> 01:18:11.010 I think I can back it up. And this is 1198 01:18:11.029 --> 01:18:13.630 probably the case with Rich McWhorter, Matt. You can tell 1199 01:18:13.649 --> 01:18:16.689 me if you agree with me. If you ever see 1200 01:18:16.850 --> 01:18:20.949 a longtime head coach step away from a program that 1201 01:18:22.159 --> 01:18:28.189 Rich McWhorter, Coach Soliday at Irwin, John Reed at Rome, 1202 01:18:30.350 --> 01:18:34.170 Jeff Littleton at Bainbridge. Look what happened to Bainbridge and 1203 01:18:34.189 --> 01:18:39.060 Jeff Littleton left. And there's more. But when you see 1204 01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:43.579 a longtime successful head coach leave, that's usually an indication 1205 01:18:43.680 --> 01:18:47.579 that things are about to go south. And there are 1206 01:18:47.619 --> 01:18:51.140 more examples of that. And it's something I've picked up on. on. 1207 01:18:53.619 --> 01:19:02.000 Cecil Flo at Parkview. Now, my buddy Adam Clark is 1208 01:19:02.119 --> 01:19:06.430 one of the best coaches in Georgia. He is the guy. 1209 01:19:07.439 --> 01:19:10.840 that rebuilt Milton, turned it over to Ben Reeves, who 1210 01:19:10.859 --> 01:19:14.090 has continued that legacy there. And then Ben Reeves actually 1211 01:19:14.100 --> 01:19:16.590 started his own legacy there, a big-time winning football program. 1212 01:19:16.630 --> 01:19:19.310 Ben Reeves won two state championships. So Ben Reeves has 1213 01:19:19.350 --> 01:19:23.569 kept things going. But, you know, Adam Clark, Milton used 1214 01:19:23.590 --> 01:19:26.130 to be bad. They used to be terrible. Adam Clark 1215 01:19:26.149 --> 01:19:29.329 took over, came over from West Forsyth, and rebuilt Milton. 1216 01:19:29.350 --> 01:19:32.069 Now he's doing the same thing at Parkview. But anyway, 1217 01:19:32.090 --> 01:19:33.909 always watch that. When you have a good coach leave, 1218 01:19:35.640 --> 01:19:40.420 bottom of the fallout. But isn't it funny how when 1219 01:19:40.439 --> 01:19:42.460 you have a coach leave, it takes a while for 1220 01:19:42.500 --> 01:19:49.930 you to build the program back up. Rosser, Sutherland, and 1221 01:19:50.010 --> 01:19:53.170 Buford is actually about to play some cupcakes in region. Well, yeah, 1222 01:19:53.329 --> 01:19:55.630 you're right about that. It may only finish between 8 1223 01:19:55.630 --> 01:20:01.399 and 11 at PSR. Yeah, we talked about that. We 1224 01:20:01.420 --> 01:20:07.930 talked about that this morning with Todd Holcomb. Yeah, Mac Foster, 1225 01:20:07.989 --> 01:20:10.890 I see you comment, man. I saw it earlier when 1226 01:20:10.930 --> 01:20:12.800 you said Tiff Conner was about to lose another one. 1227 01:20:12.850 --> 01:20:15.899 I know that game hadn't quite ended. That's a bad loss, Mac, 1228 01:20:16.229 --> 01:20:28.439 bad loss. Very disappointed, very disappointed. All right, Alan Clanton, 1229 01:20:28.479 --> 01:20:33.800 I got you, man. Where you at, Dr. Mike McCartney? 1230 01:20:33.819 --> 01:20:44.250 I want to hear from Dr. Mike. All right. Hang 1231 01:20:44.369 --> 01:20:58.550 on a second. Give me just a second, guys. So Kendrick, 1232 01:20:58.989 --> 01:21:02.710 I've got a buddy, Kendrick, who played for Lanier for 1233 01:21:02.729 --> 01:21:07.869 the baseball team. Great young man. He just reached out 1234 01:21:07.909 --> 01:21:12.289 to me. He's got a college

baseball scholarship, I think, 1235 01:21:12.369 --> 01:21:17.260 in Maine. But he is a great, great young man. 1236 01:21:18.340 --> 01:21:21.720 Part of their three straight state championships. He and I 1237 01:21:21.739 --> 01:21:29.750 stay in touch. I meet all these young men. It's fantastic, man. Fantastic. 1238 01:21:30.289 --> 01:21:34.189 We have so many outstanding young people that are going 1239 01:21:34.210 --> 01:21:36.890 to make up the future of this country. And I 1240 01:21:36.930 --> 01:21:38.710 just love staying in contact with these guys. I tell 1241 01:21:38.729 --> 01:21:41.810 them to call me anytime. And the beautiful part of 1242 01:21:41.840 --> 01:21:43.350 what I do, I'll tell you that. He's a lot 1243 01:21:43.390 --> 01:21:49.810 of great coaches and a lot of players. So, my 1244 01:21:49.829 --> 01:21:54.239 buddy Dr. Mike McCartney says, had a lot of self-inflicted errors. 1245 01:21:54.399 --> 01:22:00.359 Defense did the job last two weeks. Yeah. Hang on 1246 01:22:00.380 --> 01:22:03.619 just a second, guys. I'm not ignoring you. I don't 1247 01:22:03.659 --> 01:22:06.079 know why these guys aren't on the scoreboard show. Come on. 1248 01:22:06.600 --> 01:22:17.960 Y'all know better than that. Okay. But, yeah, Mack, that's 1249 01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:24.819 a bad loss, man. It's a bad loss. Allen Clanton, 1250 01:22:25.329 --> 01:22:30.909 Bainbridge 25-15 over Monroe. Brooks 21-15 over Cook. Yep, yep. 1251 01:22:32.170 --> 01:22:36.449 Charlton 48-0 over Atko. By the way, Allen, I was 1252 01:22:36.489 --> 01:22:38.609 saying earlier, it's about time for Atko, I think. And 1253 01:22:38.640 --> 01:22:40.140 I don't know if Lanier may want to go this route. 1254 01:22:40.819 --> 01:22:46.430 Consider eight-man football. I'm not taking shots. I'm not. I'm 1255 01:22:46.449 --> 01:22:49.229 not taking shots. You know, you want to be competitive. 1256 01:22:50.369 --> 01:22:51.909 Make it fun for the players. Make it fun for 1257 01:22:51.930 --> 01:22:53.869 the fans. I would love to go out and root 1258 01:22:53.890 --> 01:23:00.399 for a competitive eight-man football team. Bad loss for Lanier. 1259 01:23:00.439 --> 01:23:02.899 There were some bad losses for teams. Tiff County's loss 1260 01:23:02.939 --> 01:23:07.920 was bad. Cook's loss last week to Baylor's was bad. 1261 01:23:07.960 --> 01:23:10.779 I'd say tonight, I mean, it's not like you have 1262 01:23:10.800 --> 01:23:12.720 a good win or a good loss or a bad loss, but, 1263 01:23:12.739 --> 01:23:21.859 you know, Brooks and Cook are big rivals, okay? So 1264 01:23:22.000 --> 01:23:26.060 there are good losses. There is such thing. Let me 1265 01:23:26.079 --> 01:23:29.659 put it this way. There are losses you can live with. 1266 01:23:29.979 --> 01:23:32.890 I'll put it that way, okay? TCC, Oliver Hoko, 49-3. 1267 01:23:32.899 --> 01:23:35.699 I mean, go ahead and give the state title to TCC. 1268 01:23:36.100 --> 01:23:44.470 If not, tell me who's going to beat TCC. And how? 1269 01:23:47.689 --> 01:23:54.590 Lee County all over Veterans Night, 49-0. Westside Macon gets 1270 01:23:54.609 --> 01:23:59.000 beat by Peach, 54-14. Pierce, 56-17 over Tottenham. Boy, we 1271 01:23:59.020 --> 01:24:01.220 had a lot of doozies tonight, didn't we? Great day. 1272 01:24:03.560 --> 01:24:10.500 These are some bad games. You're welcome, Kareem. That's a 1273 01:24:10.539 --> 01:24:13.720 great win. Kareem Hess. Mitchell County, head coach of the 1274 01:24:13.739 --> 01:24:19.680 Mitchell County Eagles. Big, big win tonight over Clinch County 1275 01:24:19.880 --> 01:24:24.850 in Homerville. Wow, that's huge, brother. Matthew Gay, congratulations to 1276 01:24:24.869 --> 01:24:28.770 the Mitchell County Eagles and Coach Kareem Hess. Yep. And 1277 01:24:28.869 --> 01:24:32.229 Bo Johnson in Irwin County beating Lanier. What's up, Matthew Gay? 1278 01:24:33.350 --> 01:24:35.979 Those are big wins, for sure. We've been talking about them, absolutely. Absolutely. 1279 01:24:48.939 --> 01:24:51.510 Alan Clanton says, I'm sorry, but I don't call Mitchell 1280 01:24:51.550 --> 01:24:56.909 County beating Clinch a forfeit. Did anybody say that? I 1281 01:24:57.850 --> 01:25:02.189 don't know what you're talking about. Chandler Howe, Landon Curry 1282 01:25:03.319 --> 01:25:06.439 running back for Fitzgerald. If you meant to say you 1283 01:25:06.460 --> 01:25:09.779 didn't see that being an upset, well, you're crazy. But anyway, 1284 01:25:09.800 --> 01:25:12.420 you say you didn't call Mitchell County beating Clinch a 1285 01:25:12.460 --> 01:25:14.140 forfeit at all. Anyway, I don't know what you're trying 1286 01:25:14.159 --> 01:25:17.609 to say. Chandler Howe, Landon Curry running back for Fitzgerald 1287 01:25:17.630 --> 01:25:19.550 was running the ball hard tonight. I like to see 1288 01:25:19.569 --> 01:25:22.489 the leadership from the running back. Look, and Chandler, that's 1289 01:25:22.510 --> 01:25:24.369 what I'm talking about. When they lost the other young 1290 01:25:24.409 --> 01:25:31.000 man to Coffey, I still don't understand what was up 1291 01:25:31.020 --> 01:25:33.659 with that. I don't know. I don't want to get family, 1292 01:25:33.699 --> 01:25:37.060 but I have no idea. But he was the dominant 1293 01:25:37.159 --> 01:25:40.800 guy at Fitzgerald. He was the man. But now Fitzgerald 1294 01:25:40.819 --> 01:25:45.689 has always had that stable of running backs, and I'm assuming, Chandler, 1295 01:25:45.710 --> 01:25:47.750 that they've still got other ones like this young man 1296 01:25:47.770 --> 01:25:54.859 you're talking about. Landon Curry. Thomasville's good. Thomasville's good. I 1297 01:25:54.880 --> 01:25:56.680 knew this would be a good game. I picked Thomasville 1298 01:25:56.699 --> 01:25:59.960 to win in my pick six. But I think a 1299 01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:04.079 lot of it, though, you know, is this top Fitzgerald 1300 01:26:04.140 --> 01:26:08.079 running back

leaving for coffee. Okay? So that's a tough– 1301 01:26:08.100 --> 01:26:12.390 that's a really tough loss, meaning in personnel. So, yeah, 1302 01:26:12.430 --> 01:26:18.250 that's just not– that's just no good. All right. Okay, 1303 01:26:18.270 --> 01:26:20.390 Mac Foster, I don't think Chipped is going to win 1304 01:26:20.430 --> 01:26:26.260 another game at all this year. They should be veterans. Should. 1305 01:26:29.220 --> 01:26:30.840 But I don't know. I mean, it's certainly not going 1306 01:26:30.960 --> 01:26:34.119 to be TCC. It goes without saying. Mac, I don't 1307 01:26:34.140 --> 01:26:37.399 even know who else they got. Man, that's a tough loss. 1308 01:26:37.659 --> 01:26:47.760 Tough loss. Okay. All right, so the only game still 1309 01:26:47.800 --> 01:26:50.460 going on, it looks like, is Wayne County grows. In 1310 01:26:50.500 --> 01:26:59.119 the third quarter, Wayne County leads grows 31-0. Yikes. There 1311 01:26:59.159 --> 01:27:08.390 were some doozies tonight. Towers defeat Stone Mountain 17-0. Ken Washington, Jr. Phil, 1312 01:27:08.409 --> 01:27:10.010 I never asked you who your college team was, but 1313 01:27:10.050 --> 01:27:11.720 what's your thoughts on the Georgia vs. Alabama game of 1314 01:27:11.729 --> 01:27:18.319 the Hurricane Bowl? You know... Alabama's quarterback is unbelievable. I 1315 01:27:18.359 --> 01:27:25.189 can't remember his name, but he is incredible. I can't see, 1316 01:27:25.670 --> 01:27:27.470 and from what I understand, is Alabama the favorite in 1317 01:27:27.510 --> 01:27:30.390 this game? Ken, to answer your question, man, I really 1318 01:27:30.409 --> 01:27:32.550 see it as kind of a toss-up. I mean, Georgia, 1319 01:27:32.569 --> 01:27:35.770 I think, has impressed me enough to almost consider them 1320 01:27:35.810 --> 01:27:42.050 the top team in the country. But I also understand 1321 01:27:42.510 --> 01:27:44.869 that they really haven't played that difficult to schedule. I mean, 1322 01:27:45.250 --> 01:27:48.069 I was shocked the way that they dispatched of Oklahoma 1323 01:27:50.029 --> 01:27:52.560 and Arkansas. Of course, Arkansas is not really that good. 1324 01:27:53.020 --> 01:27:55.409 So it's kind of hard to say. I guess until 1325 01:27:55.479 --> 01:27:58.619 somebody beats Georgia, I'm probably going to take Georgia because 1326 01:27:58.640 --> 01:28:01.600 Georgia is my team. But I do know that this 1327 01:28:01.699 --> 01:28:05.340 Alabama quarterback is dangerous, man. He is one of the 1328 01:28:05.380 --> 01:28:09.000 best I have ever seen. So there you go. All right, guys, 1329 01:28:09.020 --> 01:28:10.020 going to stay on here for a few more minutes, 1330 01:28:10.039 --> 01:28:11.399 and then we're going to wrap it up. I've been 1331 01:28:11.420 --> 01:28:13.920 on here since 930. I appreciate everybody checking in with 1332 01:28:13.960 --> 01:28:19.880 us tonight. Dr. Sonja Wright-Smith says, it's a shame how 1333 01:28:19.920 --> 01:28:27.949 the

refs at Fitzgerald cheated all night. But cheating never 1334 01:28:28.010 --> 01:28:33.670 works out. Refs should be reported horrible. Yeah, I just 1335 01:28:33.710 --> 01:28:36.090 don't know what, I don't have any contact. I don't 1336 01:28:36.109 --> 01:28:39.250 know what to say about that. But I'm glad you're 1337 01:28:39.270 --> 01:28:42.000 here on the show, Dr. Sonja. Sonja Wright-Smith. I have 1338 01:28:42.079 --> 01:28:44.840 really missed seeing you. And you used to be a 1339 01:28:44.899 --> 01:28:48.449 regular on the show. Really missed seeing you and chatting 1340 01:28:48.470 --> 01:28:52.289 with you. Hope you'll make it back on our Monday show. 1341 01:28:52.470 --> 01:28:53.989 We normally do the show on Friday, by the way. 1342 01:28:54.250 --> 01:28:55.649 Just doing it at night early. But it's great to 1343 01:28:55.689 --> 01:29:00.439 see you. Thomasville Beat Fish Journal 2421. even though the 1344 01:29:00.500 --> 01:29:07.840 refs tried to cheat for them. Alan Clanton, my bet 1345 01:29:08.079 --> 01:29:10.310 is it gets postponed to an Alabama game. Yeah, it 1346 01:29:10.350 --> 01:29:15.369 could be. I'm still thinking this Lounge-Camden game. You know, 1347 01:29:15.489 --> 01:29:18.170 not necessarily for the game. I'm thinking about the travel. 1348 01:29:18.750 --> 01:29:20.569 You know, Camden County, that's going to take them almost 1349 01:29:20.609 --> 01:29:24.750 three hours on those buses, you know, to get back. 1350 01:29:24.850 --> 01:29:27.529 I don't know. We'll see. Crazier things have happened. Crazier 1351 01:29:27.550 --> 01:29:31.390 things have happened. We'll see. But I'm just not sure 1352 01:29:31.430 --> 01:29:33.569 they would be able to play that. Well, they could 1353 01:29:33.590 --> 01:29:36.949 be able to play the game. But, you know, that's 1354 01:29:36.989 --> 01:29:41.439 a long bus ride for Camden in bad weather. That's 1355 01:29:41.479 --> 01:29:47.000 all I'm saying. Rosser Sutherland, Newton played tonight and beat 1356 01:29:47.060 --> 01:29:54.029 Rockdale County 46-16. All right, trying to see what other 1357 01:29:54.050 --> 01:29:58.430 scores we got. Mack Foster, Jr. I'm pulling for Coach 1358 01:29:58.470 --> 01:30:00.270 Kareem Vance and the Eagles the rest of the season. Oh, 1359 01:30:00.289 --> 01:30:02.689 me too. I pull for him every Friday night. By 1360 01:30:02.710 --> 01:30:04.630 the way, in case you haven't seen Mack, we did 1361 01:30:04.670 --> 01:30:07.210 a– I did. I wrote a story on Mitchell County 1362 01:30:08.689 --> 01:30:11.850 about their Georgia match program. I also talked about Kareem 1363 01:30:11.869 --> 01:30:15.090 Vance and the football team. Check it out if you 1364 01:30:15.130 --> 01:30:21.340 haven't seen it. Richard Lewis. Will– We're headed back from 1365 01:30:21.359 --> 01:30:25.470 Warner Robins. Them jackets keep rolling. Everyone drive safe. Go Jackets. 1366 01:30:25.510 --> 01:30:27.770 Richard Lewis, thank you so much for

checking in. And Richard, 1367 01:30:27.810 --> 01:30:32.970 like I've been saying all night, who's going to beat TCC? Nobody. Nobody. 1368 01:30:33.529 --> 01:30:36.390 And I mean nobody. Nobody in the state. Let them 1369 01:30:36.409 --> 01:30:41.329 play the overall state championship game, TCC versus anybody. I'm 1370 01:30:41.350 --> 01:30:44.079 telling you, man, who's going to beat them? Greg Maddux. 1371 01:30:47.149 --> 01:30:51.029 Cook's 27-year playoff run is probably over. What's up, Greg? Now, 1372 01:30:52.909 --> 01:30:55.399 where are they at in the PSR, Greg? You've got 1373 01:30:55.420 --> 01:30:57.520 to remember, this PSR is going to let a lot 1374 01:30:57.579 --> 01:31:01.119 of teams get in that normally wouldn't get in. So 1375 01:31:01.159 --> 01:31:02.510 I don't know where they are. You may be right, 1376 01:31:02.630 --> 01:31:16.079 but just double-check that. Dr. Sonia Wright-Smith asking where you've been. Yes, 1377 01:31:16.100 --> 01:31:18.300 my apology. Hope you've been dealing with kids. Oh, my gosh. 1378 01:31:18.340 --> 01:31:20.819 I'm so sorry. I didn't know that. My bad. I 1379 01:31:20.880 --> 01:31:26.779 really did not know that. Oh, wow. Well, I hope 1380 01:31:26.819 --> 01:31:29.390 your husband, is he doing better? I'm not trying to 1381 01:31:29.430 --> 01:31:33.130 be nosy. This is none of my business. But obviously, 1382 01:31:33.250 --> 01:31:35.989 I was wondering where you were, wondering where you've been. 1383 01:31:36.069 --> 01:31:38.229 So that kind of explains it now. So I hope 1384 01:31:38.289 --> 01:31:40.850 everything continues to go well. I hope everything's going well. 1385 01:31:41.189 --> 01:31:45.680 with you and your husband, Dr. Sonja Wright-Smith. Good people. 1386 01:31:46.359 --> 01:31:50.140 James Reimer says, Wayne County defeated Groves 51-0. Well, that's 1387 01:31:50.159 --> 01:31:57.869 just a blowout tonight. I mean, ugh, stinkers. I said, 1388 01:31:57.890 --> 01:32:00.510 Georgia is my team too, Phil. I got you. Yep. 1389 01:32:02.550 --> 01:32:05.750 That's fantastic. All right, guys. That is going to wrap 1390 01:32:05.770 --> 01:32:08.520 it up for us on this Thursday night, special Thursday 1391 01:32:08.539 --> 01:32:10.819 night edition. Man, I Started this morning with Todd Holcomb. 1392 01:32:10.840 --> 01:32:13.140 You guys go and go back and check the show 1393 01:32:13.180 --> 01:32:15.079 that I had this morning with the AJC's Todd Holcomb. 1394 01:32:15.100 --> 01:32:16.979 You guys will like it where we talked about the 1395 01:32:17.039 --> 01:32:20.659 PSR and some of the challenges and some of the 1396 01:32:20.699 --> 01:32:24.819 possible changes that may be coming with the PSR with 1397 01:32:24.859 --> 01:32:31.250 over 300 incorrect PSR standings out this week. Now, they 1398 01:32:31.270 --> 01:32:34.149 got corrected, but still, there's a problem there. And we 1399 01:32:34.170 --> 01:32:35.430 talked about it this morning. Go back and check it 1400 01:32:35.470 --> 01:32:38.130 out here at ITG Next. Guys, thank you so much 1401 01:32:38.149 --> 01:32:40.020 for checking out the show tonight. Thank you for all 1402 01:32:40.060 --> 01:32:42.050 that you do. Appreciate it.
