SHE HAS DONE SO MANY FANTASTIC THINGS.

A COMMITMENT AT JACKSONVILLE UNIVERSITY.

19 POINTS PER GAME.

SHE CAN GO.

Sam: FOR NEWTON, THE RAMS HAVE AN EFFECT STANDING PLAYER, SMITH REALLY CARRIED THIS TEAM.

Kelcey: SHE CERTAINLY DID.

SHE MISSED LAST YEAR WITH AN ACL INJURY SO THIS IS LIKE HER FIRST HIGH SCHOOL SEASON.

Sam: THE COACH THAT LEADS THE NEWTON TEAM HAS A GREAT STORY.

HE HAS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE AT AUGUSTA BUT NOW HE HAS COME TO THE METRO ATLANTA AREA AND HE WANTS TO GET THEM THERE AGAIN.

THIS IS JAWAN BAILEY.

Kelcey: HE HAS REALLY BEEN ABLE TO TURN THE PROGRAM AROUND QUICKLY.

Sam: CODY CHAFFINS HAS MORE ON THE GRAYSON COACH.

Cody: HE FEELS LIKE HE HAS BUILT THE PROGRAM AND HE SAYS NOW WITH THE FEEDER PROGRAMS HE PROBABLY KNOWS STARTERS FOUR OR FIVE YEARS FROM NOW BUT AS FOR TONIGHT, IF HE IS GOING TO BRING A SECOND CHAMPIONSHIP BACK THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BEAT THE NEWTON RAMS FOR THE FOURTH TIME THIS SEASON.

SAM.

Kelcey: LOOK WHAT GRAYSON HAS DONE DEVELOPING THOSE PLAYERS.

CREATING THAT FEEDER SYSTEM AND ONE THING THAT COACH TIM SLATER TALKED ABOUT IS TERMINOLOGY.

THEY ARE GOING TO THROW A LOT OF JUMP DEFENSE BUT NEWTON SAYS IT DOES NOT MATTER BECAUSE THE TERMINOLOGY, HE SAYS MY KIDS KNOW HOW TO ADJUST.

AND SPENDING TIME WITH THE KIDS IN THE FILM ROOM.

AT DOING THAT YOU CAN LEARN SO MUCH.

Sam: THAT HAS BEEN PART OF THE SUCCESS OF THEIR PROGRAM.

OUR STARTERS BROUGHT TO YOU BY AMERICA'S NAVY.

THE STARTERS FOR GRAYSON.

TATUM BROWN, COCO RUDOLPH, JAYLA BENNETT AND TAMERA RUDOLPH.

Sam: HOW ABOUT THE OTHER RIMS FROM NEWTON?

Kelcey: THEY ARE READY TO GO.

MYA PERRY, LONDON SMITH, ZOEY JACKSON AND DESIREE DAVIS.

Sam: TWO TEAMS VERY FAMILIAR WITH EACH OTHER BUT SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE LAST TIME THEY MET, ESPECIALLY THE PATH THAT THEY TOOK TO GET HERE.

THEY HAD TO GET THROUGH BUFORD AND BEAT AN UNBEATEN TEAM TO GET HERE.

A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE THESE TWO TEAMS MET.

THE CHALLENGES THEY HAD TO FACE AND ENDURE GOING THROUGH THOSE GAMES.

IT ONLY PREPARES THEM THAT MUCH MORE FOR THIS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

Sam: THEY HAVE BEEN PREPARED BUT THEY HAVE HAD SOME DIFFICULT GAMES THIS POSTSEASON.

THERE YOU GO.

WE TALK ABOUT THE ROAD TO THE FINALS AND IT IS A DIFFICULT AND CHALLENGING ONE.

Kelcey: IS CERTAINLY.

THE PREPARATION THAT NEWTON HAS HAD THE LAST FEW GAMES IS GOOD.

Sam: THE BALL GOES UP AND WE ARE UNDERWAY AND THE RAMS FROM NEWTON CONTROL THE BALL RIGHT AWAY.

INSIDE IT GOES TO LEVELL.

NEXT SHOT.

TAKEN AWAY.

Kelcey: RUDOLPH GETS THE STEAL.

Sam: BROWN.

ZOIE LOFTON.

TATUM BROWN, PLAYER OF THE YEAR.

ON THE INSIDE, LEFT-HAND.

THE FIRST POINTS OF THE GAME FOR GRAYSON.

Kelcey: THEY ARE STARTING WITH THE HIGH PERCENTAGE SHOTS.

Sam: NEWTON LAYING UP AND THE BALL TAKEN AWAY.

Kelcey: KEEPING THE BALL ALIVE IS RUDOLPH.

Sam: UP TOP.

BACK INTO THE HANDS OF BROWN.

RUDOLPH.

DRIBBLE.

WATCH THE SHOT CLOCK AT 11.

GETS IT UNDERNEATH.

AND --DRAWS THE CONTACT.

-- FOULS.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE OFFICIALS FOR TONIGHT'S GAME.

Kelcey: WE HAVE GRANT TODDY AND DOMINIC DAWSON.

ALL ROUGH ON THE COLLEGE STAGE.

I THINK THEY WILL CALL IT LIKE A COLLEGE GAME.

THE EXPERIENCE IS THERE.

Sam: WE HAVE THIS 6A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HERE TONIGHT.

VERY LONG PASS [ INDISCERNABLE ] Kelcey: THEY ARE GOING TO CALL THAT AGAINST JAYLA BENNETT.

Sam: SHE MAKES THE FIRST ONE.

ONE OF THE SENIORS ON THIS TEAM.

YOU TALK ABOUT THE SENIORS AND HOW THEY ARE WHEN A NEW COACH COMES IN.

YOU HANG AROUND AND NOW YOU ARE PLAYING IN A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

Kelcey: IT'S NOT LIKE COLLEGE WHERE YOU CAN JUST JUMP INTO THE PORTAL AND TRANSFER.

YOU HAVE TO FIND YOUR WAY AND FIND A RELATIONSHIP.

Sam: ABSOLUTELY.

Sam: THE BALL TAKEN AWAY.

RUDOLPH WITH A HAND ON IT.

PERRY.

THIS IS THE 6A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

RAMS AGAINST RAMS.

THE SHOT MISSED THAT TIME BY SMITH.

SMITH COMES AWAY WITH IT.

Kelcey: LOOK AT THAT HUSTLE PLAY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.

Sam: THIS IS JUST WHAT LONDON SMITH WAS DOING LAST WEEK.

Kelcey: AS SOON AS THE SHOT WENT UP SHE WENT AFTER THE REBOUND.

Sam: TAKEN AWAY BY BENNETT.

WATCHING THAT INBOUND PASS.

HERE IS AN IT DRIVING.

BENNETT TAKES IT BACK.

AND PASSES IT UP.

OUTSIDE AND COULD NOT GO THAT TIME.

RUDOLPH.

Kelcey: A LITTLE PING-PONG ACTION HERE.

Sam: SHE MISSES.

CAN'T GET IT TO RUDOLPH THAT TIME.

BENNETT STEPPING IN.

Kelcey: THAT WILL BE THE SECOND PERSONAL FOUL ON BENNETT AND SHE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO OUT OF THE GAME.

Sam: SHE IS GOING TO GO OUT.

Kelcey: THAT IS TOUGH.

94 FEET AWAY FROM THE BASKET THERE.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE VALUE YOU BRING ON THE FLOOR AND SOMETIMES THE COMPETITIVE ENERGY CAN GET IN THE WAY.

Sam: VERY MUCH.

4:42 LEFT IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

UP AND IN!

NICE DRIVE TO THE BASKET THAT TIME!

Kelcey: GOOD SCOOP UP AND UNDER.

Sam: NEWTON WITH THE 4-3 LEAD.

GOT IT.

Kelcey: THAT WAS BEFORE THE SHOT.

Sam: THAT IS CALLED ON HARRY.

Kelcey: I LIKE HOW SHE WAS OBSERVING THE CONTACT.

AND HITTING DOWNHILL.

Sam: RUDOLPH.

OUTSIDE.

REBOUND TAKEN BY SMITH.

TAKING IT ALL THE WAY AND MADE CONTACT THAT TIME.

GOT THE BUMP BY JAHMAICA CLEGG.

FIRST PERSONAL FOR JAHMAICA CLEGG.

Kelcey: COACH SLATER IS TRYING TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF AN EXPLANATION.

SHE IS A 70% FREE-THROW SHOOTER.

Sam: SHE DOES NOT MIND GOING TO SEEK THAT CONTACT.

Kelcey: WE HAVE SEEN THAT A FEW TIMES ALREADY.

Sam: NICE SHOT AT THE REBOUND TAKEN AWAY AND PUT BACK UP BY LEVELL.

Kelcey: LEVELL WITH A HUGE REBOUND THERE.

Sam: QUICK REBOUND.

NEWTON WITH THE EARLY LEAD AS WE PLAY THE 6A CHAMPIONSHIP ON GPB.

Sam: 5-3, NEWTON LEADS.

THAT IS COACH JAWAN BAILEY.

QUITE A STORY.

Kelcey: LOOK WHAT HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH.

IT IS HARD TO KEEP KIDS ENGAGED WANTED TO COME BACK AND TRY OUT.

24-5 THIS YEAR.

Sam: HE SAID THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COACHING HERE AND IN AUGUSTA --THAT IS OUTSIDE.

DAVIS.

HE SAYS YOU HAVE MORE EYES AND A BIGGER SPOTLIGHT AND MORE TOP-TIER TALENT BUT BASKETBALL IS BASKETBALL.

Kelcey: IT IS BUT IT HELPS WHEN YOU HAVE TALENT.

Sam: SOME CONTACT THERE AND THE FOUL IS ON [ INDISCERNABLE ].

Kelcey: THAT IS HER SECOND ONE.

NICE SHOT BY DESIREE DAVIS.

THAT IS TWO FILES NOW FOR FILES.

Sam: IT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS GOING TO TAKE A SEAT AND ZOEY JACKSON IS GOING TO COME IN.

JACKSON ENTERS THE GAME.

TATUM BROWN, PART OF -- Kelcey: SUCH AN IMPRESSIVE RECORD FOR THE SENIOR.

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO GO OUT WITH THIS TITLE?

Sam: IT WOULD BE.

NEWTON IS GOING TO MAKE THE ROAD VERY DIFFICULT.

LOOK AT THAT.

Kelcey: GREAT DEFENSE THERE.

Sam: GREAT PLAY-BY-PLAY.

THEY SCORE THE BASKET THAT TIME, THAT IS RUDOLPH.

Kelcey: JUNIOR GUARD AVERAGING 17.7 POINTS PER GAME.

Sam: THE GAME IS TIED AT 7-7 AND WE'VE GOT 3:00 TO GO IN THE FIRST QUARTER.

SMITH GOING TO TAKE THE JUMPER AND MISSING AT THAT TIME.

THE BALL COMES LOOSE.

RUDOLPH ON THE MOVE.

BROWN GRABBING IT IN.

WITH THE PASS.

SHORT JUMPER THAT TIME BY LOFTON.

Kelcey: REBOUND BY TATUM.

Sam: THE DRIVE TO THE BASKET AND UP!

Kelcey: AGAIN, GETTING TO THE BASKET.

Sam: GRAYSON NOW WITH THE LEAD, 9-7.

AND SHE GOT IT!

LONDON SMITH!

Kelcey: LONDON SMITH.

THAT IS THE SECOND TIME THEY HAVE GONE UNDER THE SCREEN FOR LONDON SMITH.

COACH IS ASKING IF THAT IS AN ILLEGAL SCREEN.

THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO OVER THE TOP ON THAT.

Sam: BACK UP TO THE TOP.

2:00 TO PLAY.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW THAT ONE.

COACH SLATER WILL NOT GET THAT ONE.

Kelcey: ZOEY JACKSON CALLED FOR THAT FOUL.

TWO CALLS NOW.

THAT HAVE BEEN WAIVED OFF AFTER THE BASKET HAS BEEN MADE.

Sam: THAT ONE IS NO GOOD.

GRAYSON BASKETBALL.

DROPPING THE BASKET UNDERNEATH AND NICE MOVE TO THE BASKET BY RUDOLPH.

Kelcey: RUDOLPH IS SO ATHLETIC AND THAT FIRST STEP IS PRETTY GOOD.

Sam: LIKE LIGHTNING.

GRAYSON BACKUP BY ONE.

1:30 NOW.

Kelcey: THEY ARE SHOOTING 33%.

WAY OFF THE MARK ON THAT ONE.

Sam: RUDOLPH WITH THAT ONE IS GOING TO KICK IT OUT.

TAKING THE SHOT AND MAKING THAT ONE.

THAT IS CLEGG.

AND COACH BAYLEIGH WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT.

WE HAVE 1:16 LEFT IN THE FIRST QUARTER AND WE CAN SEE HOW THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE BACK-AND-FORTH.

Sam: TAKE A LOOK AT THE REPLAY AGAIN.

SUCH A QUICK FIRST STEP.

SHE GETS HEAD AND SHOULDERS PAST THE DEFENDER.

SHE GETS TO THE BASKET A HANDFUL OF TIMES ALREADY.

YOU HAVE GOT TO RESPECT THE OUTSIDE GAME AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES HER A DUAL THREAT.

Sam: YOU HAVE HER AND A PLAYER LIKE TATUM BROWN, PICK YOUR POISON.

RIGHT NOW, 10-13.

COACH TIM SLATER TALKED ABOUT HOW HE FEELS LIKE HIS TEAM IS DISRESPECT DID.

THEY WERE PICKED THIRD IN THE REGION.

Kelcey: THEY CERTAINLY SHOWED EVERYBODY NOT TO MESS WITH THEM.

COCO RUDOLPH, 17 POINTS PER GAME.

Sam: HE PUT THE CHIP ON THEIR SHOULDER EARLY IN THE SEASON AND IT HAS DRIVEN THE TEAM TO THIS POINT EARLY TRYING TO MAKE IT BACK-TO-BACK STATE CHAMPIONS.

CANNOT GET THAT ONE AND IT IS TAKEN AWAY THAT TIME BY CLEGG.

Kelcey: IT IS RARE TO SEE THEM SLOW THE BALL DOWN.

Sam: UNDER 1:00 TO PLAY.

GRAYSON WITH THE BASKETBALL.

BEING VERY DELIBERATE.

Sam: SITTING IN A TO-THREE ZONE NOW.

Sam: EIGHT SECONDS.

LOFTON.

BACK OUT.

OUTSIDE AND THAT WAS GOOD THAT TIME BY RUDOLPH.

Kelcey: LONDON SMITH RINGING UP THE BALL AND THE SHOT CLOCK IS OFF.

Sam: LET'S SEE HOW NEWTON PLAYS.

GOING TO TAKE THE SHOT NOW AND DOES NOT GET IT THAT TIME.

STOPPED BY JACKSON.

REBOUND, BACK UP!

Kelcey: PERRY WITH A BIG REBOUND AND PUT BACK.

Sam: WATCH NUMBER TWO DOWN UNDERNEATH.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!

Kelcey: YOU HAVE TO PLAY ALL THE WAY TO THE BUZZER.

NOTHING IS GOING TO COME EASY IN THIS GAME.

Sam: COMPLETES THE 3-POINT PLAY AND WE ARE TIED AT 13 WITH SEVEN SECONDS TO GO.

BROWN WITH THE TOUCH, THROWS IT UP.

AND THE THAT IS THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER.

IF YOU LIKE THAT ACTION, STAY TUNED BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE.

DOWN ONE QUARTER AND HEADED FOR THE SECOND.

TIED IT 13 ON THIS SATURDAY NIGHT HERE IN MACON!

Jon: WELCOME BACK TO MACON COLISEUM WE ARE SQUARE AT 7-7 AFTER ONE.

GRAYSON WON ALL THREE MATCHUPS BETWEEN THEM SO FAR.

THE LAST ONE IN THE REGION CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BY SIX POINTS BUT COACH JAWAN BAILEY FOR NEWTON SAYS THEY WANTED TO COME TO THE GAME LOOKING AT IT LIKE A TEAM THEY HAD NEVER PLAYED BEFORE.

THEY WANTED TO HAVE FRESH EYES.

Sam: THAT IS TRUE.

THE ROAD THEY CAME DOWN PREPARED THEM.

Kelcey: COACH BAYLEIGH SAID THEY DON'T EVEN THINK THEY ARE THE SAME TEAM AS THEY WERE A FEW WEEKS AGO IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF THE LAST FEW COMPETITIONS THEY HAVE HAD.

Sam: BROWN, CATCH, SHOOT, GOT IT!

Kelcey: DOWNTOWN, TATUM BROWN.

Sam: GIVING THE TEAM THE LEAD.

WE ARE EARLY IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

THE BALL COMES LOOSE.

STILL LOOSE.

--COMES UP WITH IT.

YOU HAVE TO PUSH IT HERE.

Kelcey: HERE IS ANOTHER LOOK WITH BROWN KNOCKING IT DOWN FROM THE OUTSIDE.

SHE IS SUCH A THREAT.

A LOT OF THE PLAYERS ON THIS GRAYSON TEAM --JAMIRA FLOURNOY --WHAT MAKES THIS GRAYSON TEAM SO DIFFICULT IS ALL PLAYERS CAN SCORE AT THREE DIFFERENT LEVELS SO YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CLOSE HARD BUT THEN GETTING BACK AND RETRIEVE TO GET THAT FIRST STEP.

Sam: RUDOLPH.

DOWN.

THE SHOT WAS GREAT THAT TIME BY LOFTON.

Kelcey: ZOIE LOFTON FROM THE OUTSIDE.

THEY ARE SHOWING THAT MAYBE THIS THREE POINT LINE AFTER 3 1/2 DAYS OF BASKETBALL IS NOT AN EQUALIZER.

Sam: WE HAVE BEEN QUESTIONING THAT.

RIGHT AFTER THE BASKET FALLS, NO WHISTLE.

JACKSON GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THE BALL GOES TO GRAYSON.

WE ALSO THINK ABOUT THE SIGHTLINES.

NEWTON PLAYED AT GEORGIA STATE LAST WEEK AND NOW THEY COME HERE.

THIS GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS.

Kelcey: RUNNING AND JUMPING THE TRAP OFF OF THAT FIRST PASS.

Sam: RUDOLPH.

BROWN.

UP AGAIN.

THAT WAS JAMIRA FLOURNOY.

Kelcey: IT IS GOING TO BE ON FLOURNOY.

JUST STEPS INTO THE PATH WHERE TATUM BROWN IS GOING DISPLACING.

Sam: TATUM BROWN GOES TO THE FREE-THROW.

SIX POINTS NOW FOR HER.

NOT GET SET TO TAKE THE SECOND.

MISSING THAT ONE.

THE REBOUND.

Kelcey: RUDOLPH IS GOING TO BE CALLED FOR THAT FOUL.

Sam: JAZMINE FLOURNOY COMES OUT OF THE GAME.

DOWN BY FIVE TO GRAYSON.

INSIDE 6:00 TO PLAY UNTIL HALFTIME.

PERRY ON THE DRIBBLE.

ALL THE WAY.

GOOD CONTACT BUT THEY DID NOT GET THE BASKET.

Kelcey: JAHMAICA CLEGG DOES A GOOD JOB JUMPING VERTICAL.

10 OUT OF 10 TIMES THAT IS GOING TO BE A FOUL.

Sam: PERRY AT THE FREE-THROW LINE.

Kelcey: PERRY IS A 42% FREE-THROW SHOOTER.

Sam: SHE AVERAGES --REBOUNDS PER GAME.

AND LIYAH WILLIAMS HAS STEPPED INTO THE GAME.

Kelcey: FULL-COURT PRESS NOW.

THAT IS WHAT COACH PALIN BAYLEIGH SAID HE WANTED TO DO WAS TO PUT THE FULL-COURT PRESS ON.

Sam: WILLIAMS SENDS IT BACK OUT TO TATUM BROWN.

RUDOLPH.

LOFTON.

GREAT PASS.

RUDOLPH CAN'T FINISH.

Kelcey: RIGHT AT THE BACK DOOR AGAIN.

NOT ABLE TO FINISH.

Sam: PERRY.

BACKS IT OUT AND GOES TO THE OFFENSE.

HAS TO GET IT OVER THERE.

CANNOT HANDLE THE PASS.

Kelcey: HERE IS THE JUMP DEFENSE AND GREAT HANDS THAT GRAYSON IS SHOWING.

Sam: YOU CAN SEE COACH SLATER WITH INSTRUCTIONS.

Kelcey: WHAT WE SEE A LOT OF TIMES IS WHEN THERE IS A PRESS AND YOU BREAK IT IT IS THERE TO SPEED YOU UP AND THE LAST TIME THEY WERE ABLE TO STAY COLLECTED AND CALM AND SET UP A PLAY BUT THEY COULD NOT CONNECT WITH RUDOLPH.

Sam: GRAYSON BACK WITH THE BASKETBALL HERE.

WILLIAMS AND THAT GOES OVER TO LOFTON.

FROM WAY OUTSIDE.

INSIDE.

RUDOLPH WITH THE PASS.

AND THEY FINISH THAT TIME BY RUDOLPH.

Kelcey: RUDOLPH TO RUDE OFF.

GOOD JOB JUST AS THE SHOT CLOCK WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE.

Sam: 22-16.

LOOSE BALL, TAKEN AWAY.

RUDOLPH IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.

SHE IS THE CO-DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR.

GRAYSON WORKING ON THE INSIDE.

THEY HAVE THE LEAD WITH 3:59 IN THE HALF.

Sam: 3:59 UNTIL HALFTIME.

THERE IS COACH SLATER AND HIS TEAM IS IN THE LEAD.

LOOK AT THE REBOUNDING THERE.

Kelcey: THEY ARE GETTING OUTREBOUNDED, 11-6 RIGHT NOW.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT COACH BAYLEIGH SAID IS ONE OF THE KEYS TO THE GAME IS TO MAKE SURE THAT GRAYSON HAD TO TAKE DIFFICULT SHOTS AND GETTING HANDS UP.

AND THAT IS WHAT HE IS TRYING TO DO.

Sam: LENGTH IS THEIR STRENGTH.

THAT ONE OUT THAT TIME BY DESIREE DAVIS.

DIFFERENT PLAYERS HAVE SCORED FROM EACH TEAM.

GRAYSON WITH A 22-18 LEAD.

THE DRIVE-BY TATUM BROWN.

TAKEN AWAY BY LEVELL.

NOW THE BALL GETS AWAY AGAIN.

Kelcey: YOU HAVE TO GET IT ACROSS THAT COURT.

Sam: IT IS PUT UP AND -- Kelcey: WHAT A SPECTACULAR PLAY!

ONCE LONDON GETS THE BALL IN HER HANDS, GOOD THINGS HAPPEN.

Sam: THE GRAYSON LEAD IS NOW TWO.

GETTING THE CONTACT.

RUDOLPH.

Kelcey: ONCE LONDON HAS THE BALL IN HER HANDS, GREAT VISION.

AND LONDON IS GOING TO HAVE HER FIRST PERSONAL FOUL.

Sam: YOU SEE WHAT NEWTON HAS DONE.

GREAT PASSING.

Kelcey: FOUR OF SEVEN FROM THE FREE-THROW LINE FOR GRAYSON.

Sam: MAKING THAT ONE, TAMERA RUDOLPH.

23-20.

UNDER 3:00 TO GO UNTIL HALFTIME.

Kelcey: THIS IS A MATCHUP.

TATUM GUARDING LONDON.

Sam: WRAPAROUND, PUTTING IT UP AND IN.

SHE IS DOWN ON THE FLOOR RIGHT NOW THOUGH.

A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED.

Kelcey: SHE MAKES THE SHOT BUT WITH A LOT OF CONTACT.

I THOUGHT THERE WAS A FOUL ON THIS PLAY.

THIS UNDERCUTS.

Sam: SHE IS UP RIGHT NOW AND EVEN HAS A LITTLE SMILE ON HER FACE.

SHE'S GOING TO SIT OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT.

Kelcey: WHAT CONCENTRATION THOUGH TO TURN THE CORNER AND FINISH WITH CONTACT.

ABSOLUTELY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FOUL ON TAMERA RUDOLPH.

YOU HAVE TO LET HER LAND.

Sam: PERRY LEAVES THE GAME RIGHT NOW.

2:30 TO GO UNTIL HALFTIME.

THE TAKE AWAY.

[ INDISCERNABLE ] SHE KNOCKS IT OUT AGAIN AND BACK THE OTHER WAY GOES GRAYSON.

UNDERNEATH.

LOOK AT THE SHOT THERE.

Kelcey: BIG BLOCK SHOT BY LEVELL.

Sam: ON BRI WILLIAMS.

Kelcey: THEY NEED TO GET THEIR COMPOSURE BACK.

IT IS OKAY TO GO FAST BUT YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHY YOU ARE GOING FAST.

Sam: BLOCKED AGAIN BY LEVELL.

LONDON ALL THE WAY IN.

JUST LIKE THAT, NEWTON IS BACK ON TOP.

BACK UP BY ONE, 1:35 TO PLAY IN HALFTIME.

OFFENSIVE FOUL CALLED.

THAT IS ON TAMERA RUDOLPH.

Kelcey: THIS IS THE BIG BLOCK BY LEVELL.

--COMES BACK AND SHE IS THERE AGAIN.

LONDON GOING FOR THE EASY TO.

Sam: TRANSITION BASKETBALL.

THE DEFENSE STARTED AND THAT IS WHAT LEVELL HAS DONE SO FAR IN THIS GAME.

A COUPLE OF REBOUNDS.

TWO BLOCKED SHOTS.

THE TEAM IS ALL APPEAR WITH ONE MINUTE 27 SECONDS TO PLAY IN THE GAME.

COACH BAYLEIGH, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TO YOUR TEAM WITH 1:27 LEFT TO PLAY.

Kelcey: THE DEFENSE RIGHT NOW IS SWARMING.

GRAYSON IS.

THEY ARE DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB.

THAT IS THE KEY.

THEY WANTED TO PUT GREAT DEFENSIVE PRESSURE ON THEM AND THEY ARE GETTING EASY TRANSITION POINTS RIGHT NOW.

Sam: YOU SEE GRAYSON BREAKING THE HUDDLE.

Kelcey: THEY HAVE GOT TO REGAIN COMPOSURE.

THAT IS REALLY IT.

THIS IS A GREAT BALLCLUB AND THEY ARE MOVING FAST BUT, RIGHT NOW, A LITTLE TOO FAST.

IT IS A LITTLE HELTER-SKELTER INSTEAD OF ORGANIZED CHAOS, IT IS JUST CHAOS.

Sam: NO TIME FOR THAT TONIGHT.

YOU ARE PLAYING FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP.

SO, HERE IS NEWTON WITH A BASKETBALL IN THE LEAD.

THE REBOUND TAKEN BY GRAYSON.

Sam: GOOD REBOUND.

Sam: UNDER ONE MINUTE TO PLAY.

UNTIL HALFTIME.

BROWN INSIDE.

UNDERNEATH IN TRAFFIC.

Kelcey: FINISHING WITH CONTACT.

YOU HAD A SECONDARY DEFENDER COMING OVER THE TOP AND SHE JUST TURNS BASELINE.

GREAT AWARENESS OF WERE TO GET TO THE BASKET.

Sam: GRAYSON BACKUP BY ONE.

30 SECONDS UNTIL HALFTIME.

THE PASS INSIDE AND UNDERNEATH.

NICE SCOOP UP AND UNDERNEATH.

Kelcey: DAVIS PUTTING IN SOME BACKDOOR ACTION.

Sam: THE SHOT CLOCK OFF.

GRAYSON WITH THE BASKETBALL.

10 SECONDS."

RUDOLPH IN TRAFFIC.

THE PASS.

SHOOTS IT OUT.

THEY DID NOT GET THE SHOT OFF.

Kelcey: THAT IS NOT HOW YOU WANT TO GO INTO HALFTIME.

YOU WANT TO GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE TO GET THE SHOTS OFF.

Sam: CREDIT 2NEWS DASHA NEWTON.

THE DEFENSE MADE IT TOUGH.

Kelcey: YES.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT TIME AWARENESS.

Sam: THE TEAMS HAD TO THE LOCKER ROOM WITH NEWTON WITH A ONE POINT LEAD OVER GRAYSON AS THEY PLAY FOR THE 6A CHAMPIONSHIP.

OUR COACHES INTERVIEWS A BROUGHT TO YOU BY BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT.

THE OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL.

CODY CHAFFINS.

Cody: COACH BAYLEIGH IT SEEMS LIKE HALFWAY THROUGH A QUARTER SOMETHING SPARKED WITH THE PLAYERS.

THEY ARE JUST PLAYING AND MAKING SMART DECISIONS ON CUTS AND OPENING UP OPPORTUNITIES TO DRIVE THE BALL.

Cody: IT SEEMED LIKE DEFENSE WAS LEADING TO OFFENSE.

DOING A BETTER JOB ON OFFENSE.

I NEED THE PERSONNEL LIKE GRAYSON PLAYERS LIKE TO DO AND COUNTER TO THAT.

Cody: WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO THE TEAM?

STAY TIGHT, CONTINUE TO MAKE PLAYS, TRUST EACH OTHER, AND WE WILL BE FINE.

Cody: THE NEWTON RIMS ON TOP OF THE GRAYSON RIMS AT THE HALF.

WE WILL SEE IF NEWTON CAN GET OVER THE HUMP AGAINST GRAYSON.

AFTER THE BREAK WE HAVE JON NELSON WITH THE HALFTIME SHOW.

Jon: WELCOME BACK TO MACON COLISEUM.

GIRLS 6A IS BEING DECIDED.

WE ARE HERE AND WE ARE GOING TO CATCH UP WITH THE PRINCIPLES FROM NEWTON AND GRAYSON.

I DID ASK PRINCIPAL WILLIAMS IF SHE WOULD DO THE DAILY DOUBLE AND COME BACK FOR THE BOYS GAME AND SHE SAID YES.

SO, SHE IS COMING BACK AND WE ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE THE PERPETUALLY STYLISTS --STYLISH --.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

SO, NEWTON IS IN THE LEAD, PRINCIPAL PRICE WILLIAMS.

YOU CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION OR DEFER.

OH MY.

GO AHEAD.

Jon: WHAT HAS THE RIGHT BEEN LIKE FOR NEWTON?

WE HAVE THE BOYS GAME COMING UP BUT WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE TO SEE EVERYTHING ON THE GIRLS SIDE AND TO BE HERE AT THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR?

LISTEN, I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE PROUD OF THIS GROUP OF LADIES.

THEY HAVE WORKED HARD, THEY HAVE PERSEVERED.

MORE THAN ANYTHING THAT HAVE TURNED EVERY LOSS INTO A LESSON.

IT HAS ONLY MADE THEM BETTER.

IF THEY DON'T DO ANOTHER THING TONIGHT, THEY ARE MY GIRLS.

Jon: SO LET'S CATCH UP WITH DOCTOR STUART.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO SEE THE ATHLETIC PROGRAMS HERE JUST BEFORE THE SPRING FORWARD PART OF THE CALENDAR.

IT IS WONDERFUL.

I AM SO PROUD OF OUR STUDENTS AND FEMALE ATHLETES.

PROUD OF THE BOYS AS WELL.

WE ALMOST MADE IT BACK HERE AGAIN.

IT IS EXCITING TO BE BACK AT MACON COLISEUM AS WE WERE LESTER WITH BOTH TEAMS.

CONGRATULATIONS TO NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL.

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A WIN TONIGHT.

Jon: HERE WE GO!

BUT I AM REALLY PROUD OF THE COACHES AND THE GIRLS AND THE UNITY IN THE COMMUNITY AND ALL OF THE FAMILIES.

OUR SENIORS, TATUM BROWN SHE HAS SHOWED UP AND SHOWED OUT SO WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A BIG WHEN.

Jon: WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON IT GRAYSON?

WE HAVE BASEBALL SEASON GOING ON AND WE JUST PLAYED GRAYSON --NEWTON.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT GRAYSON IS NUMBER ONE IN THE REGION WHICH WE HAVE BEEN.

JUST A MINUTE!

Jon: I'M JUST GOING TO BACK MY CHAIR UP.

[ LAUGHTER ] BASEBALL IS IN SESSION.

WE HAVE LACROSSE AND SOCCER.

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING OUR TEAMS BE REGIONAL CHAMPS AGAIN.

GO RAMS!

Jon: WHAT IS GOING ON AT NEWTON THAT FOLKS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT?

LISTEN, I BELIEVE IN KEEPING THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING.

I AM PROUD OF THE 92% GRADUATION RATE.

WE HAVE A COMMUNITY OF SUPPORTERS WHO HAVE POURED INTO THESE STUDENTS LIKE NONE OTHER.

A SHOUT OUT TO THE NEWTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WHO SPONSORED BREAKFAST.

WE HAD A COMMUNITY SENT OFF THIS MORNING AND BUSINESSES HAVE ADORNED THEIR MARQUEES WITH GOOD LUCK RIMS AND GO RAMS.

IT HAS BEEN THE MOST AMAZING FEELING TO SEE COVINGTON, GEORGIA SHOW UP FOR THE NEWTON RIMS.

THE REAL RAMS!

MAY THE REAL RIM WHEN!

Jon: THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING.

ONCE AGAIN, DOCTOR STUART, GOOD TO SEE YOU AND PRINCIPAL PRICE-WILLIAMS, YOU TOO.

YOU WILL BE BACK IN A LITTLE BIT.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR YOUR COMMUNITIES.

I AM NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE BEST RIMS WINNING BECAUSE THAT WILL HAPPEN.

WHEN WE COME BACK, WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON HERE AT CHAMPION CHICK 16 AND 17.

GIRLS 6A RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE MORE COMING UP FROM MACON COLISEUM IN JUST A BIT.

Jon: WELCOME BACK TO THE MACON COLISEUM.

THE MARGIN IS ONE TO THE RIMS ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN.

LET'S TAKE YOU THROUGH WHAT THE REST OF THE DAY HAS BEEN LIKE.

IT HAS BEEN A GREAT DAY FOR BASKETBALL.

GAME NUMBER ONE, FANNIN COUNTY WON.

TO BE THE BEST IN A-DIVISION BOYS.

THEY HAVE NOW WON 12 OF 13 IN ADAPTIVE SPORTS IN A ROW.

WE HAVE THIS ONE AND WE HAVE NEWTON AND WHEELER COMING UP NEXT.

WE HAVE KELCEY AND SAM COMING UP RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER HERE ON GPB.

Sam: WE ARE BACK HERE AND ABOUT TO START THE THIRD QUARTER IN THE GAME OF NEWTON VERSUS GRAYSON.

LET'S GO TO CODY.

Cody: HOW DO YOU EVALUATE HOW YOUR TEAM DID?

IT IS A GAME OF RUNS AND TWO TEAMS THAT KNOW EACH OTHER.

COACH BAYLEIGH DOES A GOOD JOB SO IT IS POINT, COUNTERPOINT, MOVE, COUNTER MOVE.

SO IT WILL BE DOWN TO WHO HAS THE BALL LAST AND MAKES IT RUN IN THE FINAL STRETCH AND WE WILL SEE IF WE CAN MAKE THE FINAL RUN.

Cody: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE?

JUST ENERGY.

WE WERE UP BY SIX AT ONE POINT THEN WE GOT OUT OF RHYTHM.

WE NEED TO JUST GET BACK TO THAT ENERGY THAT HAD US UP BY SIX.

Cody: GOOD LUCK IN THE SECOND HALF.

SAM AND KELCEY, BACK TO YOU.

Sam: WE ARE ABOUT TO START THE SECOND HALF.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HERE?

Kelcey: THE ENERGY ON THE GRAYSON SIDE NEEDS TO STEP BACK UP.

THEY GOT OUT OF RHYTHM BUT ON THE FLIPSIDE, NEWTON DID A FANTASTIC JOB AND I EXPECT NOTHING DIFFERENT FROM EITHER TEAM.

Sam: WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PLAYERS DOING GREAT THINGS.

FIRST OFF WE HAVE" --COCO RUDOLPH RUDOLPH.

THEN ON THE NEWTON SIDE WE HAVE LONDON SMITH.

A BIG BLOCK SHOT BY LEVELL.

Sam: LONDON DOES NOT MIND THE CONTACT EITHER.

Kelcey: WE HAVE HAD SEVEN LEAD CHANGES AND I DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING DIFFERENT.

BOTH OF THESE TEAMS HAVE BEEN VERY EVENLY MATCHED.

Kelcey: COCO RUDOLPH SLASHING AND CURLING OFF THAT SCREEN.

Sam: ANOTHER LEAD CHANGE, 27-26 TO START THE HALF.

LONDON SMITH IN TRAFFIC.

TATUM BROWN TRIED TO TIE IT UP.

Kelcey: --HAD TO SIT OUT MUCH OF THE FIRST HALF AND JUST PICKED UP HER THIRD.

Sam: LONDON NOW WITH SEVEN POINTS IN THE GAME.

Kelcey: WHAT AN IMPRESSIVE SEASON SHE HAS HAD.

SHE IS JUST STEPPING UP FOR THIS TEAM.

Sam: SHE REALLY DOES.

28-27, NEWTON WITH THE LEAD.

NOW GRAYSON.

BROWN CHECKING IN.

LONG THREE AND DOES NOT GET IT THAT TIME.

THE REBOUND BROUGHT DOWN BY MY A.

--MYA PERRY.

THE REBOUND TAKEN BY LEVELL.

Kelcey: DOWNLOAD THERE.

WE SAW LAVELL -- LEVELL GRAB THE BALL.

RIGHT OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE GRAYSON PLAYER.

YOU HAVE TO DO THE WORK EARLY.

THERE IS A MISMATCH.

WE HAVE DAVIS AND JB.

Sam: COACH BAYLEIGH WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT.

THIS EARLY IN THE SECOND HALF AND YOU ARE CALLING A TIMEOUT?

Kelcey: COACH LONDON SMITH IS TELLING COACH BAYLEIGH THIS IS WHAT IS GOING ON OUT THERE.

THE TEAMS YOU ARE SEEING IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, THERE IS ONE THING THEY HAVE IN COMMON.

THERE IS A TRUE RELATIONSHIP AND A TRUST FACTOR AS WELL.

WE HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE THEY HAVE COME OVER AND SAID THIS IS WHAT I AM SEEING OR I NEED THIS PERSON IN THE GAME AND IMMEDIATELY THE COACH HAS MADE THE ADJUSTMENT.

Sam: YOU TALK ABOUT HAVING THE COACH ON THE FLOOR AND YOU NEED THAT COMMUNICATION.

WHEN HE CALLS A TIMEOUT HE ASKS WHAT ARE YOU SEEING AND TO DO THAT AT THIS JUNCTURE OF THE GAME, YOU MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT QUICKLY BECAUSE THIS IS THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR.

LIFTED UP AND FOULED.

ON THE DRIBBLE AND HERE IS LONDON SMITH.

THE REBOUND BROUGHT DOWN.

AND WE HAVE A WHISTLE.

Kelcey: MYA PERRY IS GOING TO BE CALLED FOR.

IT IS IMPRESSIVE HOW COCO RUDOLPH GOES UP FOR THE REBOUND THEN TURNS AND CAN TAKE OFF DOWN THE FLOOR.

THAT IS NEXT LEVELL BASKETBALL RIGHT THERE.

Sam: TATUM BROWN GUARDED BY LONDON SMITH.

BROWN TAKES THE JUMPER.

MISSING EVERYTHING THAT TIME.

THE REBOUND BROUGHT BACK.

Kelcey: YOU CAN TELL SHE ADJUSTED THAT SHOT COMING OFF OF THAT SCREEN.

Sam: PERRY IS GOING TO DRIVE AND PUT IT UP.

THAT SHOT BLOCKED BY LEVELL.

A FOUL IS CALLED.

Kelcey: ON PERRY AND THAT IS HER THIRD PERSONAL FOUL.

Sam: UNDER 6:00 TO PLAY IN THE THIRD.

GRAYSON WITH THE BALL AND DOWN BY ONE.

DOWN ON THE DRIBBLE.

PICKS IT UP AND COMES UP SHORT THAT TIME.

SHORT, RUNNING ONE-HANDED.

Kelcey: LONDON SMITH NOW IN DOUBLE DIGITS AT 10 POINTS.

Sam: NEWTON WITH THE LEAD.

BROWN DRAWS THE CONTACT FROM LEVELL THIS TIME.

Kelcey: HERE IS ANOTHER LOOK AT LONDON SMITH COMING DOWN COURT.

THAT FLOATER IN THE LANE.

THAT HAS BECOME A SHOT THAT MANY SHORTER GUARDS ARE ON DAILY.

BACK IN THE DAY THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU SAW BUT THAT ONE-HANDED FLOATER TO THE MIDDLE OF THE PAINT IS AN ACTUAL PRACTICE SHOT.

Sam: WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEBODY PLAY LIKE THAT, YOU HAVE GOT TO STAY CALM.

[ INDISCERNABLE ] Kelcey: HE SURE IS.

Sam: HE MAKES A LOT OF MONEY WITH THAT.

HERE ARE THE NUMBERS FOR TATUM BROWN SO FAR TONIGHT.

SUCCESSFUL WITH THAT ONE.

Kelcey: THAT ENDS EIGHT 2:00 SCORING DROP FOR GRAYSON.

Sam: THE DRIBBLE.

THE PASS INSIDE TO LEVELL.

TRAVELING.

Kelcey: GOOD SOUND DEFENSE BY THE GRAYSON RIMS.

SOMETIMES YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TOO SPECIAL.

JUST STAND THERE AND STAY DISCIPLINED.

SOMETIMES AN OFFENSIVE PLAYER GETS THEMSELVES INTO TROUBLE.

THE NEWTON RIMS BEING LED BY SOPHOMORE LONDON SMITH WHO IS IN HER SECOND YEAR BUT REALLY JUST HER FIRST YEAR OF PLAYING.

SHE TORE HER ACL AS A FRESHMAN AFTER A FEW GAMES BUT AND SHE SAID THAT YOUR REHABBING TAUGHT HER THE IMPORTANCE OF PATIENCE.

SHE SHOWED SOME PATIENCE LAST WEEK.

SHE SCORED 24 OF HER 28 POINTS IN THAT SECOND HALF.

Kelcey: YOU CAN MAYBE ATTRIBUTE THAT YEAR THAT SHE SAT ON THE BENCH AS SHE ACTED MORE AS A COACH THAN A PLAYER.

Sam: IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT REALLY DRIVES HER.

SHE HAS A CHANCE TO WIN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP THIS SATURDAY NIGHT.

THE BASKET IS UP AND GOOD.

LONDON SMITH IS COMPETING RIGHT NOW.

NO DOUBT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY I AM WORKING HARD AS I CAN BUT YOU CAN WORK AS HARD AS YOU WANT TO.

YOU NEED TO GO OUT AND COMPETE.

Kelcey: YOU HAVE TO GIVE HER SO MUCH ATTENTION WHEN SHE DRIVES TO THE BASKET LIKE THAT.

GREAT KICK OUT TO HER TEAMMATE.

WILLIAMS KNOCKING DOWN THE SHOT.

DO YOUR JOB!

Sam: WHEN YOU HAVE A PLAYER OF THAT MAGNITUDE WHO PLAYS THE GAME, THE WAY THAT COCO RUDOLPH DOES, YOU CANNOT IGNORE.

YOU NEED TO WATCH WHERE SHE IS GOING.

HERE IS WHAT LIYAH WILLIAMS HAS DONE.

Kelcey: SEVEN POINTS COMING OFF OF THE BENCH EARLY IN THE GAME BECAUSE JB GOT INTO FOUL TROUBLE SO SHE HAS PUT IN CRUCIAL MINUTES FOR THE GRAYSON RAMS.

Sam: NEWTON WITH THE LEAD AND THAT LEAD HAS BEEN SLICED DOWN TO IN NOW.

UP AND NO GOOD.

Kelcey: GRAYSON IS GOING TO LOOK BACK AT THIS GAME AND REALIZE -- Sam: THERE IS THE TURNOVER!

NEWTON WITH THE THREE POINT LEAD.

SANDIFER INSIDE FOULS AND TAKES THE FOUL THIS TIME.

Kelcey: FIVE REBOUNDS, ONE FOR ONE FROM THE LINE.

SHE HAS DONE SO MUCH MORE THAT HAS NOT SHOWN UP ON THE STAT SHEET WITH HER AGGRESSIVENESS.

Sam: NEWTON HAS THE BASKETBALL.

NEWTON WITH A TWO POINT LEAD.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.

STAY WITH US.

Cody: UNDER 3:00 TO PLAY IN THE GIRLS 6A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

THE LAST TWO HUDDLES COACH SLATER HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT REBOUNDING AND ONCE THEM TO HIT THE BOARDS.

THEY ARE LOSING THE BATTLE ON THE BOARD AGAINST NEWTON.

I AM IMPRESSED WITH HOW CALM COACH SLATER IS.

SAM.

Sam: HE IS STILL TRYING TO KEEP HIS CALM BUT QUITE ANIMATED.

Kelcey: 32 TOTAL REBOUNDS TO 19 BEL GRAYSON.

15 OF THE 32 ARE OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS.

Sam: WATCH SHOT CLOCK.

FOUR SECONDS, TO, NINE -- ONE.

Kelcey: THERE IS NO REASON TO SWIPE DOWN ON THAT PLAY WITH THE SHOT CLOCK RUNNING OUT.

Sam: [ INDISCERNABLE ] MISSING THAT FREE-THROW WITH THE FOURTH PERSONAL.

LOOK AT THE NUMBERS!

Kelcey: WE TALK ABOUT THE SIZE DIFFERENTIAL AND IT IS NOT THAT BIG.

A SLIGHT ADVANTAGE BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR THE MARGIN OF REBOUNDS TO BE WHAT IT IS.

Sam: YOU WOULD NOT THINK SO.

ESPECIALLY WITH THE RECORD THAT THEY HAVE HAD AND THE COMPETITION THEY HAVE BEAT THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.

REBOUND UNDERNEATH PUT BACK UP AND NO GOOD THAT TIME.

WE HAVE A WHISTLE.

TRAVEL CALLED.

Kelcey: TRAVELING VIOLATION.

Sam: SEEING SOME FRUSTRATION FROM COCO RUDOLPH.

IT'S GOING TO GO BACK OVER TO NEWTON.

CAMILLE FILES.

SHE HAS A 10 POINT GAME WORKING.

DAVIS.

LONDON.

BACKS UP.

NINE SECONDS, EIGHT SECONDS.

JUMP BALL!

ALERT PLAY BY COCO RUDOLPH.

GRAYSON ONCE A TRAVEL.

Kelcey: AND THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT TO WANT THAT.

IT IS THE SAME PLAY THEY JUST HAD ON THE OTHER END OF THE FLOOR.

Sam: SHORT SHOT CLOCK.

FIVE SECONDS, ONE SECOND, THROWS IT UP AND DOES NOT GET AN ANSWER!

DAVIS GETS A REBOUND AND A WHISTLE!

THERE WILL BE A FOUL ON TAMERA RUDOLPH.

Kelcey: RUDOLPH, THAT IS HER FIFTH FOUL AND ANOTHER MISSED OPPORTUNITY ON THE BOX OUT, SAM.

Kelcey: PERRY HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO WITH THAT.

YOU LOOK UP AND YOU SEE THE SHOT CLOCK WINDING DOWN AND YOU HAVE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.

Kelcey: BOXING OUT HAS BEEN A THORN IN GRAYSON SIDE.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMMIT.

Sam: THERE HAVE BEEN SOME MISSED OPPORTUNITIES.

FREE THROWS ARE STACKING UP RIGHT NOW.

Kelcey: 12 OF 17 OVERALL AND 70.6%.

THEY HAVE NOT MADE A FIELD GOAL IN THE LAST THREE MINUTES.

Sam: YET THEY CLING TO A FOUR POINT LEAD.

TATUM BROWN DRIVING UNDERNEATH.

GOT A WHISTLE AND A TIMEOUT.

A 30 SECOND TIMEOUT.

1:25 TO GO.

Kelcey: TATUM BROWN DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN.

THE SENIOR DOES NOT WANT TO GO HOME WITHOUT A TITLE.

Sam: SHE HAS BEEN A WINNER THE ENTIRE TIME SHE HAS BEEN AT GRAYSON.

WHAT A FITTING END IT WOULD BE FOR HER TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP TONIGHT.

LIKE YOU SAID, THEY DO HAVE A SCORING PROBLEM.

-- DROUGHT.

Kelcey: THEY HAVE HAD A SCORING DROUGHT.

BOTH TEAMS ARE STAGNANT ON ANY TYPE OF CLEAR RUN.

WE TALKED WITH COACH SLATER OUT OF HALFTIME AND HE SAID IT IS A GAME OF RUNS.

EITHER 10 --TEAMS STEPPING UP AND SHOWING WHO WILL TAKE OVER.

Sam: NEWTON IT LOOKED LIKE IT MIGHT BE THEM IN THE THIRD QUARTER AND THEY GOT A LEAD BUT GRAYSON HAS REELED THEM IN AND WITH 1:25 TO PLAY, NEWTON WITH THE BASKETBALL FACING SOME PRESSURE.

CAMILLE FILES.

LIYAH WILLIAMS.

DAVIS.

PERRY HAS IT MOMENTARILY.

[ INDISCERNABLE ] UP AND DOES NOT GET IT.

THE REBOUND BY SMITH.

Kelcey: JUMP BALL IS GOING TO BE HAD AND IT WILL GO IN POSSESSION OF GRAYSON.

Sam: WATCH THIS.

WATCH WILLIAMS -- Kelcey: COMING IN AND DOING SOME SERIOUS WORK AND HAS STEPPED UP IN A BIG WAY.

Sam: NEWTON CLINGING TO A TWO POINT LEAD WITH UNDER 1:00 TO PLAY.

TO DECIDE THE CLASS 6A CHAMPIONSHIP.

THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET.

THE SHOT BLOCKED BY LONDON SMITH!

Kelcey: INBOUND!

Sam: SHE BRINGS IT BACK THE OTHER WAY AND A WHISTLE!

WHAT A TIME!

Kelcey: HUGE LOCK SHOT.

THAT POSSESSION.

Sam: DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONS, KELCEY.

THAT WILL BE A BIG PLAY BUT A LOT OF TIME IS STILL LEFT.

44.2 SECONDS TO GO.

Kelcey: PLENTY OF TIME ON THE CLOCK FOR BOTH TEAMS, ESPECIALLY THE WAY THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING DEFENSE.

TWO THINGS FOR GRAYSON.

THEY NEED TO KEEP THE BALL OUT OF THE HANDS OF LONDON SMITH.

DENY HER ALL THE WAY AND WHEN THE SHOT DOES GO UP THEY HAVE GOT TO BOX OUT.

Sam: SO WHO ELSE WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO?

Kelcey: I AM HONESTLY THINKING ABOUT THE SECOND SHOT AND LEVELL.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT WERE THE FIRST SHOT IS COMING FROM BECAUSE THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED THEY ARE GOING TO WIN THE BOARD.

LEVELL HAS BEEN SO DOMINANT.

SHE HAS SEVEN REBOUNDS RIGHT NOW.

SHE CAN ALSO DO THE WORK AND GET THE SECOND REBOUND AND JUST GO UP.

SCRAPPED BASKETBALL AND PUT BACKS.

Sam: YOU SEE LONDON SMITH AND WHAT SHE HAS DONE AND A WHOLE LOT OF EYES WILL BE ON HER.

YOU BETTER BELIEVE SHE WILL FACTOR INTO IT IN SOME KIND OF WAY.

Kelcey: NO FOULS TO GIVE IF YOU ARE GRAYSON.

I PERSONALLY WOULD HAVE PUT MORE LINKS ON LONDON.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE COCO RUDOLPH GUARDING HER.

Sam: WE HAVE A WHISTLE.

ANOTHER TIMEOUT.

PERRY WAS VERY CLOSE TO TAKING A STEP.

SO, IT WILL BE A FULL TIMEOUT.

Kelcey: IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A CORRECTION ON THE CLOCK.

GREAT DEFENSE BY GRAYSON AGAIN.

AGAIN, I WANT MORE LINKS.

THERE WAS LENGTH ON THE BALL BUT I LIKE THE LENGTH ON LONDON AS WELL.

Sam: SO WHAT GOES ON NOW.

43.3 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK.

AND LOOK AT COACH SLATER.

Kelcey: THERE IS NOTHING DIFFERENT THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

THEY NEED THE DEFLECTION AND THEY NEED TO BOX OUT.

AFTER THE SHOT GOES UP THEY NEED TO BOX OUT AND THE SECRETARY DEFENDER HAS TO COME AND HELP IF LONDON GETS THE BALL IN HER HANDS.

Sam: LET'S CHECK IN WITH CODY CHAFFINS.

Cody: COACH SAID WE HAVE TWO TIMEOUTS, DON'T FORCE IT.

NOW LET'S SEE IF NEWTON CAN EXECUTE.

Sam: THEY CHANGED THE TRIGGER ON THE INBOUND PLAY.

THIS TIME IT WILL BE CAMILLE FILES.

LONDON SMITH INBOUND.

SHOT CLOCK AT 21.

SMITH ON THE DRIBBLE.

THE DRIBBLE STOPS AGAIN.

:INTO DAVIS.

TAKEN AWAY.

WE HAVE A WHISTLE.

BROWN AND DESIREE DAVIS LOST IT RIGHT IN THE PAINT.

ANOTHER LOOK AT IT.

Kelcey: THEY CALLED OUT OF BOUNDS.

Sam: SHOT CLOCK IS OFF AND 23.3 TO GO.

COCO RUDOLPH TURNS THE BALL OVER.

JUST LOST POSSESSION OF IT.

LONDON SMITH COMES UP AND APPLIES THE PRESSURE.

THE BALL OUT OF BOUNDS.

LOOK AT THE PERSONNEL CHANGES FOR NEWTON.

Kelcey: THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF TIME HERE, SAM.

19.7 SECONDS RIGHT NOW.

THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A LOST POSSESSION THAT YOU DON'T GET A SHOT ATTEMPT OFF BUT YOU GO BACK TO YOUR DEFENSE AND IT HAS BEEN SWARMING AGAINST NEWTON.

Sam: RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE 19.7.

IF YOU ARE NEWTON YOU GET THE BALL INBOUNDS.

Kelcey: IF YOU ARE NEWTON RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG WITH THE BALL AND MEET YOUR PASSES.

YOU KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO GO FOR THE STEAL AND IF YOU DON'T GO FOR THE STEAL THEY WILL TRAP AND THIRD, THEY WILL FILE YOU.

Sam: HOW LONG DO YOU WAIT BEFORE YOU FOUL?

RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE 19.7 SO YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO DO IT.

Kelcey: IT TRULY IS A FEEL WITH THIS JUMP DEFENSE THAT IS BEING THROWN OUT BY GRAYSON.

IF YOU FEEL MAY BE THAT THEY ARE LOSING CONTROL OF THE BALL OR FUMBLING A LITTLE BIT, TURNING THEIR BACK, YOU HAVE GOT TO WAIT AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET THAT DEFLECTION.

Sam: THE INBOUND PASS.

SMITH.

WE HAVE A WHISTLE.

THE FOUL IS GOING TO BE CALLED ON TATUM BROWN.

Kelcey: WHAT COACH BAYLEIGH DID WAS SMART.

GET THE BALL INTO THE HANDS OF LONDON BUT INSTEAD OF GOING TOWARDS THE DEFENDERS, HAD HEARD --WHICH IS A LITTLE DANGEROUS, HAD HER GO AWAY TOWARDS THE GRAYSON BASKET AND JUST PLAYS KEEPAWAY.

Sam: LONDON NOT MAKING THE FREE THROW.

YOU CONCEAL OF THE PEOPLE WITH LONDON T-SHIRTS.

THEY MUST ALL THE FAMILY.

THEY ARE ON THEIR FEET.

Kelcey: THAT IS HUGE.

LONDON IS SIX OF 10 FROM THE FREE-THROW LINE.

Sam: SHE IS GOING TO GET ANOTHER.

15 SECONDS REMAINING IN THE GAME.

NEWTON WITH A TWO POINT LEAD.

LONDON HAS DONE SO MUCH TO CARRY HER TEAM TONIGHT.

SHE MAKES ABOUT ONE.

WHISTLE AND ANOTHER TIMEOUT.

COACH JAWAN BAILEY BRINGS HIS TEAM IN.

AND NOW IT IS A THREE POINT LEAD.

15 TO GO.

Kelcey: AT THIS POINT I THINK YOU CAN GO FOR A QUICK DRIBBLE DRIVE.

IT IS IF HE ON WHAT THE OFFICIALS WILL CALL, IF I AM BEING HONEST HERE.

I ALMOST LIKE THE DRIBBLE DRIVE AND THE KICK OUT.

I LIKE RUDOLPH SHOOTING IT AND BROWN BUT ONE HAS TO BE THE PERSON DRIVING IT BECAUSE THEY WILL DRAW THE MOST ATTENTION TO ONE OF THEIR TEAMMATES.

Sam: WHAT ABOUT WILLIAMS?

SHE COULD BE A THIRD ALTERNATE.

Kelcey: SHE CERTAINLY CAN.

SHE WOULD BE LIKE A DECOY.

SHE IS NOT MY FIRST OPTION BUT SHE IS ONE OF THREE FROM BEHIND THE ARC.

I THINK THE WAY THE GAME HAS BEEN CALLED THE THIS POINT I AM NOT LEAVING IT IN THE HANDS OF CHANCE.

I'M GOING TO TRY TO TIE THIS UP AND GO TO OVERTIME.

Sam: YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR CHANCES WITH THE OFFICIALS?

Kelcey: NOT TONIGHT.

Sam: WE HAVE 15 SECONDS TO GO.

WE HAVE COACH TIM SLATER AND HE HAS BEEN WORKING AT HIS TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING HARD TONIGHT.

15 SECONDS.

TRYING FOR THE THREE.

WE WILL SEE IF THEY DO THE DRIBBLE DRIVE.

LET'S SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES HIM TO GET THE BALL UP THE FLOOR.

LOFTON.

NINE SECONDS.

LOFTON -- Kelcey: THAT'S THE SHOT.

Sam: SHOTPUT BACK UP!

THE GAME IS OVER!

GRAYSON HAD TWO CLOCKS OUT IN THE FINAL 15 SECONDS AND NOW THREE LOSSES.

AND IT IS THE NEWTON RAMS.

Kelcey: YOU CANNOT ASK FOR A BETTER SHOT THERE.

I LIKE THAT SHOT.

I LIKE THAT BEING IN HER HANDS.

SO UNFORTUNATE IT DID NOT GO IN.

GREAT BALL MOVEMENT.

THAT IS THE SHOT.

IF YOU ARE COACH TIM SLATER THAT IS THE SHOT THAT WILL TIED THE GAME UP BUT KUDOS TO THE NEWTON RAMS.

WE SAID HOW HARD IT WAS TO BEAT A TEAM NOT ONCE, TWICE, THREE TIMES BUT, THE FOURTH TIME, THE RAMS GOT THEIR REVENGE.

Sam: THEY DID.

THE FOURTH TIME AROUND.

COACH JAWAN BAILEY AND THE NEWTON RAMS WHERE THE CROWN OF STATE CHAMPIONS IN CLASS 6A.

ONCE AGAIN WE SEE TEARS ON BOTH SIDES.

TEARS FOR GRAYSON AND FOR NEWTON.

Kelcey: THIS GAME DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

BOTH TEAMS WERE FANTASTIC.

THERE WERE SOME RUNS BACK-AND-FORTH.

AND BOTH TEAMS REALLY LEFT EVERYTHING THEY COULD OUT HERE ON THE FLOOR.

Sam: COACH SLATER TELLS YOU ALL THE TIME, THEY WERE PICKED THIRD PRESEASON IN THE REGION AFTER WINNING LAST YEAR.

EVERYBODY WANTING TO EXCHANGE A HUG WITH TATUM BROWN.

HER HIGH SCHOOL TIME ENDING WITH THE SETBACK AND ALL SHE HAS DONE IS WHEN THE WHOLE TIME SHE HAS BEEN AT GRAYSON.

THE RAMS ARE GOING TO TAKE THIS TROPHY BACK TO COVINGTON FOR A CELEBRATION.

THEY HAVE EARNED IT HERE TONIGHT.

NOW THEY PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THE BOYS TEAM.

LET'S GO DOWN TO JON NELSON.

Jon: THANK YOU, SAM.

IT IS TIME TO PRESENT THE 6A TROPHY AND TO DO IT IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE GHSA, DOCTOR TIM SMITH.

CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT SEASON AND ON BEHALF OF THE GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION, BREDA PEST MANAGEMENT WILL PRESENT THE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY TO NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] Jon: YOU KNOCKED ON THE DOOR THE FIRST TIME.

YOU KNOCKED ON THE DOOR THE SECOND TIME.

YOU KNOCKED ON THE DOOR THE THIRD TIME.

YOU BROKE THE DOOR DOWN THE FOURTH TIME.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

IT MEANS HOW GOOD GODS GRACE IS.

THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS.

THESE GIRLS WORKED THEIR BUTTS OFF ALL SEASON LONG AND I AM SUPER PROUD OF THEM.

THANK YOU TO THE NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL COMMUNITY FOR THE SUPPORT.

GOD IS GOOD.

Jon: GIRLS TITLE IN 6A GOES TO NEWTON.

LET'S SEND IT BACK TO SAM AND KELCEY.

Sam: A LOT OF TEARS AND A LOT OF EMOTION IN THE VOICE OF COACH BAYLEIGH.

HE HAS DONE THIS BEFORE IN AUGUSTA WITH JOSIE.

CHANGING LOCATION AND WE TALKED ABOUT HOW THINGS WENT.

IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND VERY CHALLENGING SITUATION FOR HIM.

Kelcey: IT WAS A CHALLENGING SITUATION.

HE WANTED THE SCHEDULE THAT WE AND TOWARDS THE END OF THE SEASON HE DID NOT CHOOSE THOSE OPPONENTS.

THEY WERE GIVEN TO THEM.

AND THAT SET THEM UP, THE ADVERSITY AND THE LEVELL OF COMPETITION THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH SET THEM UP TO BE SUCCESSFUL TONIGHT AND BOY OH BOY, LONDON SMITH ONLY A SOPHOMORE AND WE ARE IN FOR A TREAT THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

23 POINTS AND 11 REBOUNDS.

SHE HAD THE GAME ON HER SHOULDERS AND SHE LIT UP THE ENTIRE GAME.

Sam: NONSTOP ENERGY ON BOTH ENDS.

THE OFFENSIVE END AND THE DEFENSE EVENT.

WHATEVER HER TEAMMATES NEEDED, SHE WAS THERE TO SUPPLY YET.

Kelcey: GREAT JOB COLLECTIVELY BY THE NEWTON RAMS.

THAT GAME DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

I COULD WATCH THAT GAME OVER AND OVER.

Sam: GREAT FINISH TO THE GIRLS CHAMPIONSHIPS AND A GREAT WEEK!

IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE ALL WEEK!

Kelcey: IT HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC RIDE AND I APPRECIATE IT.

Sam: THAT IS THE FINAL SCORE.

SET FOR THE BOYS CHAMPIONSHIP COMING UP NEXT ON THE GREAT GPB!

Jon: YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A JAZZED UP CROWD TRYING TO CHASE AFTER THE DOUBLE?

NEWTON HAS A CHANCE TO DO IT IN JUST A LITTLE BIT AS THEY TAKE ON WHEELER.

COUNTDOWN TO TIP OFF UNDERWAY.

THE BOYS GAME IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND IT WILL BE A ROUGH ONE.

THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR AND WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN SHORT ORDER BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THAT ONE WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS ONE AND WHAT HAPPENED AS NEWTON HANGS ON, 59-56 IN A GAME THAT WE KNEW WAS GOING TO BE THIS WAY THE FULL 32 MINUTES.

WE HAVE COMPANY.

LET'S CATCH UP WITH COACHES AND PLAYERS AND FIND OUT WHAT IS ON THE BOARD.

WE ARE SHARING THE FINAL TIMESHEET TOGETHER.

AND IF YOU ARE GETTING A METAL BY THE WAY, THE PLAYER OF THE GAME, LONDON SMITH AND WE ARE HANGING OUT WITH COACH.

SEVEN OF 11 FROM THE LINE, 23-11.

DOUBLE-DOUBLE, LONDON, TELL ME ABOUT IT OUT THERE TONIGHT?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START.

I START WITH MY TEAMMATES.

IF IT WAS NOT FOR MY TEAMMATES I WOULD NOT SIGN .

COUNTLESS HOURS IN THE GYM.

THIS IS MY FIRST EVER DOUBLE-DOUBLE IN MY CAREER IN THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

I REALLY WANT TO SHUT OUT MY TEAMMATES BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM I WOULD NOT BE HERE.

Jon: EFFECTIVELY SHOUTED OUT.

FIRST EVER DOUBLE-DOUBLE COMES HERE.

GO THROUGH THE EMOTIONS OF THIS AS YOU SIT HERE AND TRY TO SORT THROUGH THAT SHEET.

YOU TALK ABOUT PLAYING A TEAM FOR THE FOURTH TIME.

TEST STARTING WITH THE CONFIDENCE TO COME OUT HERE AND BEYOND THIS TYPE OF STAGE AND HAVING THE CONFIDENCE TO WIN THIS GAME, WE TALK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT REBOUNDING IS BEFORE THE GAME SO, SHE GOT THE MESSAGE AND YOU KNOW, THE ENTIRE TEAM DID A GREAT JAM -- GREAT JOB.

THE CONVERSATION WAS REBOUNDING THE DEFENSE.

Jon: 23-11 IS A LITTLE BIT OF IT.

THE REBOUNDING AGE WAS -- RANGE WAS 25-33.

FREE THROWS IN THIS BUILDING A LITTLE TOUGH TO GET ADJUSTED TO.

SHOOTING IN THIS BUILDING TOUGH TO GET USED TO.

SHE FINISHES WITH 27 AND A LOT OF POISE.

A LOT OF POISE.

IT SPEAKS TO HER AND HER WORK ETHIC AND THE TIME SHE HAS PUT IN.

SHE JUST DESERVES TO BE RECOGNIZED.

SHE MISSED HER FRESHMAN YEAR WITH A TORN ACL AND DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO PLAY HER FRESHMAN YEAR AND WAS HUNGRY TO PLAY OUT IN HER SOPHOMORE YEAR AND DOMINATE AND SHE DID THAT.

Jon: YOU MISS AN ENTIRE YEAR.

WALK ME THROUGH RECOVERY AND THE FRUSTRATION OF WANTING TO BE OUT WITH TEAMMATES AND THE JOY THAT YOU HAD TO COME BACK AND BE A PART OF IT.

A YEAR AGO FROM TODAY, I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HERE.

ESPECIALLY [ INDISCERNABLE ].

SOME DAYS I DID NOT WANT TO DO IT BUT THE DAYS THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT ARE THE DAYS THAT YOU NEED TO DO IT.

THERE WAS A LOT OF FIGHTING THROUGH THE RECOVERY.

BUT I HAD THE BEST PHYSICAL THERAPIST IN THE WORLD.

I 110% NOW BECAUSE OF HER.

Jon: WALK ME THROUGH THE REST OF THE ROSTER.

YOU HAD FIVE OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO CONTRIBUTED ON THE SCORE SHEET TO MAKE THIS A SUCCESS.

THIS IS TEAM EFFORT TOP TO BOTTOM.

THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ABOUT ALL YEAR.

WE KNEW WE HAD A REALLY DEEP TEAM COMING INTO THE SEASON.

WE PLAYED A LOT OF PEOPLE EARLIER IN THE YEAR.

I JUST THINK THAT PREPARE THEM FOR THESE MOMENTS.

DESIREE DAVIS WITH 10 POINTS AND CAMILLE FILES WITH 10 POINTS, SHE IS NOT KNOWN FOR HER SCORING BUT SHE SHOWED UP TONIGHT.

ALL AROUND TO I AM VERY PROUD OF THESE YOUNG LADIES.

Jon: SECOND CHANCE POINTS, 17.

YOU WERE PLUS 10 IN THAT CATEGORY.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THIS PROGRAM?

WE HAVE A YOUNG COURT.

THE MAJORITY OF THESE KIDS COME BACK NEXT YEAR AND THEY WILL HAVE A BULL'S-EYE ON THEIR BACK.

YOU KNOW, IT DOES NOT GET EASIER.

I DO KNOW THAT.

SO I WILL MAKE SURE THAT THEY ENJOY THIS MOMENT AND THIS TIME WITH THE NEWTON COMMUNITY AND HOPEFULLY OUR BOYS PULL THIS OFF AS WELL AND WE CELEBRATE WITH THEM.

Jon: YOU ARE PROBABLY THINKING LIKE MONDAY AFTERNOON OR TUESDAY YOU GET BACK INTO THE GYM?

I AM EXTREMELY TIRED SO I AM GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME AND MAKE SURE THEY TAKE SOME TIME.

THE LAST CHAMPIONSHIP, THE BOYS 6A COMING UP AND IT IS WHEELER AND NEWTON TRYING TO CHASE AFTER THE DOUBLE.

WE ARE JOINED ONE FINAL TIME THIS WEEKEND BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION, DOCTOR TIM SMITH.

WHEN WE LOOK BACK AT THIS WEEKEND, THIS FOUR DAYS, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE STORIES THAT STICK WITH YOU FROM THESE DIFFERENT TOWNS THAT HAVE COME HERE AND CELEBRATED AND THEN HERE IN BOTH NUMBERS.

WHAT HAS STUCK WITH YOU?

GREAT COMMUNITY SUPPORT.

LOVING THE ATHLETES FROM THEIR HOMETOWN.

REALLY CELEBRATING THEM HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD.

AND THE KIDS LIGHTING IT UP ON THE COURT.

WE HAVE HAD SOME GAMES IN THE LAST QUARTER WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME BIG LEAD SHIPS BECAUSE OUR ATHLETES WOULD NOT QUIT AND THAT IS GRIT AND THEY HAVE SHOWN THAT THIS WEEKEND IT IS GREAT.

Jon: JUST TODAY IT IS HOMER, BLUE RIDGE, COVINGTON, LOGANVILLE, LOCALLY.

I MEAN, IF WE JUST TALK ABOUT THE MATCHUP WITH BEST IN SOUTHWEST -- WHAT A GAME.

Jon: WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF CRAZY GAMES BUT THE ATMOSPHERE HERE.

ONE BID SHOWING OFF.

THIS IS THE LOUDEST I HAVE HEARD THIS BUILDING IN A LONG TIME.

WHEN YOU HAVE 6000 PEOPLE IN A GAME THEY CAN MAKE A LOT OF NOISE.

THERE WAS A LOT OF EMOTION AND I WILL SAY THAT IS THE LAST TIME I --FIRST TIME I'VE HAD THAT HAPPEN.

Jon: AND YOU HAVE --WINNING A TITLE.

HOLY INNOCENTS KNOCKING OFF ABRAM CHRISTIAN.

SAVANNA WINNING AND HARDAWAY WINNING FOR THE GIRLS.

IT IS AUGUSTA, SAVANNAH, AND COLUMBUS ALL OVER.

IT IS ALL OVER THE STATE AND THEY HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD TO US THIS WEEK.

THEY COME HERE AND CELEBRATE ALL OF THE WORK THAT THEY HAVE DONE THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.

Jon: I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE EFFORTS OF THE GHSA TO PULL THIS OFF.

WE TALKED WITH YOU AND WITH ROB AND A LOT OF FOLKS PULL THIS TOGETHER WHEN IT COMES TO THE GHSA.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO HAVE ALL OF THIS EFFORT PUT TOGETHER?

THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT WE DON'T GET TO SEE OR TALK TO.

WE HAVE CREWS THAT COME IN FROM ALL OVER THE STATE.

GUYS THAT LIVE THE GAME AND LOVE TO HELP.

A LOT OF LOGISTICS THAT PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE.

THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MUCH BUT MAKING SURE THAT THE BALLS HAVE AIR AND THE GOALS ARE SET UP PROPERLY AND WE MEASURE THOSE AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS DONE WELL.

ALL OF IT COMES TOGETHER BUT IT IS WORK FOR THOSE GUYS.

OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PEOPLE.

IT IS JUST THE DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT WE WORK WITH.

IT IS A BIG EVENT AND I THINK WE DO IT AS WELL AS ANYBODY IN THE NATION.

THE COVERAGE WE GET FROM YOU GUYS IS THE BEST AROUND.

Jon: I KNOW THAT WHEN THIS IS OVER THERE IS NO REST OF THE GHSA.

YOU ARE GOING TO PACK EVERYTHING IN THE TRAILER BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS A TRUCK THAT CAN CARRY IT BACK AND, YOU HAVE SOME STUFF TO DO BUT WHAT IS NEXT FOR THE GHSA?

WE ARE IN SPRING SPORTS SO WE ARE COMING UP WITH SOCCER AND BASEBALL, LACROSSE.

TRACK.

ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

TENNIS.

GOLF.

WE START ROLLING THOSE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN MAY WHICH IS NOT THAT FAR OFF WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

Jon: IT IS NOT.

DO YOU STILL GIVE YOURSELF $.53 PER MILE WITH THE TRUCK?

IT'S $.53.

Jon: I KNEW IT WAS IN THERE SOMEWHERE.

THANK YOU TO YOU AND TO THE GHSA FOR BEING A GREAT PARTNER WITH GEORGIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING.

THANK YOU FOR A GREAT WEEK AND FOUR DAYS.
