27
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 4: One an awesome night. We've kind of hit full darkness

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 4: here in Bank of America City and the lights are

29
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 4: on and for these boys, this is the thrill of

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 4: a lifetime. As the captains walk out to midfield, they're

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: gonna do the coin flip on the panther head right

32
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 4: there at the fifty yard line. What an unbelievable opportunity

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: for all these boys, especially these senior leaders on both teams.

34
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 4: And I'm super excited for this game to kick off.

35
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 4: We've talked about it, some contrasting styles, but two of

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 4: the very best teams in the state of North Carolina,

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 4: and they have such mutual respect for one another. I'm

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 4: really excited to see this game. We might have a shootout,

39
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. We got two great quarterbacks and coaches

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 4: are ready to move the ball around the field.

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 3: Absolutely captain's meeting at midfield. As JJ just said, we'll

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: get you the results of the coin toss here in

43
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: just a second. We got cameras and microphones huddling around midfield.

44
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: So I've got the binoculars up here in the press

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: box today. But even with these, I'm not sure if

46
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: I can make out exactly what's about to happen here,

47
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: though I will try. And this again is a heavyweight

48
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: showdown coming your way just moments from now.

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 4: Huff held on to beat South Point in the early game.

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: If you couldn't be with us for that one fourteen

51
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: to ten the final score. The huff Huskies led by

52
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: a couple of rushing touchdowns from their junior quarterback Ethan Royle.

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: They got the go ahead score in the fourth quarter,

54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: and a late interception by Josevion Currents, the quarterback from

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: South Point, sealed the Stallion's fate. The Huskies one to

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: oh in week one, and South Point, of course falling

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 3: to OH and one and now the second game moments

58
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: away Grimsley in town from Greensboro underhead coach Darryl Brown,

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: the Worlies have become one of the premier powers in

60
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: North Carolina. Brown took over in twenty sixteen after building

61
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: Southern Guildford into a perennial contender, and has guided Grimsley

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: to multiple state championship appearances and two four A state

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: titles in the past five years, including last season's perfect

64
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: sixteen and oh run capped by a win over Rollsville

65
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: in the title game. As we talked about on the

66
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: other side, West Charlotte, led by Sam Grinder, it's not

67
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: just another it's not another Friday Night. It's a celebration

68
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: of a phoenix like resurgence for the West Charlotte Lions.

69
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: Before Sam Grinder arrived back in twenty twenty one, the

70
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: program had been mired in one of its toughest stretches

71
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: in decades, posting just thirty one wins against seventy seven

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: losses in the previous ten seasons.

73
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,839
Speaker 4: But what a turnaround it's been.

74
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: After a rebuilding oh and eleven days, Grinder steadily turned

75
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: the program around, leading them to seven and five and

76
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, nine and four and twenty twenty three,

77
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: and culminating in a monumental thirteen and two run in

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four that ended with a hard fought fourteen

79
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: to seven victory over Fayettevill seventy first for the NCCHSAA

80
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 3: three A state Championship, West Charlotte's first title since nineteen

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: ninety five.

82
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: JJ, and we're.

83
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 5: Getting ready to kick off here.

84
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 4: Sam Grinder wins wins the toss to first, so he's

85
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 4: gonna put that balls in the hand of Grim's quarterback

86
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: Faison Brandon to get started. I think that's kind of interesting.

87
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 4: I would have think. I think I would rather have

88
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 4: the ball to start. I don't know if I want

89
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: to give my opponent, the number one player in the country,

90
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 4: the ball first crack. But we're gonna see it. We're

91
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 4: gonna hopefully have some fireworks here to get started early.

92
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 4: I to look down on the field right there, number

93
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 4: thirty eights.

94
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: Brandon Raccoon, the sophomore kicker, will handle kickoff duties tonight.

95
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: We're told by Sam Grinder that and Angel who As

96
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: will also participate in some kicking duties tonight. Dante Nicholson

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 3: will talk about that when the time comes. He'll do

98
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: the punting tonight. And since we've got JJ to my right,

99
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: Arturro Gonzaleses will be the long Stafford Tile for the

100
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 3: West Charlotte Lions.

101
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 5: Let's do it.

102
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 3: Standing back at his own five yard line, Jaden Taylor,

103
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: but the kick is short fielded by Grimsley at the

104
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 3: twenty five yard line and returned out to the thirty one.

105
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: It's number five Kai in Battle receiving the kick, securing

106
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: the football and Faison Brandon and the Whorley's offense will

107
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: go to work first down and ten from their own

108
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: thirty one yard line.

109
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 5: Brandon is the.

110
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: Six four to two ten senior committed to Tennessee number

111
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: one quarterback recruiting the country, and what we're going to

112
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: see tonight is an interesting style. We got a big,

113
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: big offensive line, but you got the best quarterback in

114
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 4: the country, and they're ready to.

115
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 5: Throw the ball all around the yard.

116
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: They certainly are see wide receivers to the far side

117
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: of the formation. Man in motion to give is to

118
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: number two Micah Williams on first down, and Williams is

119
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: stuffed immediately by the Lions defensive front.

120
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: You know, Damario Wilson, who's the tackle, made that tackle

121
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: right away. Sam Grinder went out of his way to

122
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 4: just start to go, hey, he's my.

123
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 5: Two gap guy.

124
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: He's gonna be in both gaps and first play quick

125
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: quick spot stop behind the line of scrimmage for two

126
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 4: yard losses. Michael Williams two yard loss.

127
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: He backed up Mitchell Summers, one of the best running

128
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: backs in the state of North Carolina history at Grimsley

129
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 3: the last couple of years, and now it's Micah's turn

130
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: to take the primary snaps.

131
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: In the backfield.

132
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: There's Brandon wide receiver screen to the far side, caught

133
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: by Alex Cooper, who picks up a couple on second down.

134
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 4: Much like the first game, we're kind of seeing both

135
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: teams feel out the defense, a quick run, a quick pass,

136
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 4: try to get their quarterback into the flow of the game.

137
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 4: That really plays in the hands of the defense because

138
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 4: everything's right in front of him.

139
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 3: Third down in nine nine from the thirty two yard line,

140
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: Grimsly moving left to right on your radio dial, ball

141
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: spotted on the far side. Hash four wide receivers in

142
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: the formation, three cluster to the bottom of the formation,

143
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: one to the top.

144
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 4: There's phase on pressure in his face.

145
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: Tries to dump off a screen to Williams, but incomplete

146
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: and a three and out for the Whorlies on their

147
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: opening drive.

148
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: Eliza little John kind of plays a linebacker, edge player,

149
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: one of the very best players on this West Charlotte defense.

150
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: And he got a lot of quick pressure there on

151
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 4: Fason and it's a really good start for West Charlotte.

152
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: So they take that. They win the toss, they defer,

153
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: give the ball the number one player in the country

154
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 4: and then three and out.

155
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 5: So just the way they drew it up here.

156
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: Early, Chase hull Mantle, we'll stand back at his own

157
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: eighteen yard line to punt the football. It'll be his

158
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: first attempt of the season. He'll handle the punting and

159
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: the kicking duties for Grimsley. There's a low spiral line

160
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: drive punt that sales out of bounds at about the

161
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: thirty two yard line. We'll see where they market the

162
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: thirty two. Indeed, so West Charlotte will start at its

163
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: own thirty two for the first time in twenty twenty

164
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: five jimur.

165
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 4: And Nichols is gonna be the guy that's gonna be

166
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 4: running the show here. You know, Coach Grinder said, this

167
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 4: guy has elite processing skills. He gives about ten minutes

168
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 4: and all the different stuff that Nichols has done in

169
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: the offseason, not only to improve that area, but just

170
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: to demonstrate his ability to process. That always gives a

171
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 4: coach the feeling of it. I can put a lot

172
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: on his plate because I trust what his eyes and

173
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: what his brand are sort of telling him, and I'm

174
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 4: excited to see how they use him.

175
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 5: Here in twenty twenty five.

176
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: Wes Charlotte, moving right to left, Nichols sends a man

177
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 3: in motion, a little bit of a sweep action there

178
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: on first down. The handoff ghost to number twenty three

179
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: is just Seer Gray who picks up a couple.

180
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: And just like we talked about in the first game,

181
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: helmet's already flying off. We've already had two on the ground.

182
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on in the equipment staff,

183
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 4: but all all the equipment managers that need to buckle

184
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 4: all these chin straps, they're already flying here.

185
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: Early West Charlotte's offense, as we mentioned, led by Jamori

186
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: Nichols Sam Grinder, comes from a traditional wing T background.

187
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: We'll see a lot of misdirection in this offense. Some

188
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: outside zone buck sweet RPOs and they're looking for play

189
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: action down the field when the opportunity presents itself. Here's

190
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: second and eight to give up the middle. Emory McLain

191
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: with the carry, his first of the night, picks up two.

192
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: That'll bring up third down and six.

193
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 4: More so than the other teams that we've seen here tonight,

194
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 4: this has been a very slow pace here to start

195
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: the game. Feels like coach Grinder wants to kind of

196
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 4: get in the flow of the game. Give Nichols good

197
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: opportunity to see the whole field and look, he's trying

198
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 4: to get the hands. Get the ball in the hands

199
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 4: of his receivers, Dante Nicholson, Jordan Moore, j D McDonald,

200
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: who is actually the putt returner. We're trying to figure

201
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 4: out ways to get the balled sideline. The sideline because

202
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: just as big as Grimsly is on the offensive line,

203
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: they are on the defensive line as well.

204
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 3: Nine to twenty here in the opening quarter, third down

205
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 3: and five from their own thirty seven, it's Jimuri Nichols

206
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 3: and West Charlotte. Nichols flushed out of the pocket, moving

207
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: right to the short side, throws back across his body,

208
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 3: dangerous decision, skips off the turf incomplete number thirteen. McKay yon,

209
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: the defensive back, dove in and was hunting a turnover.

210
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: We couldn't get there in time.

211
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: Couple quick three and outs there, and your guy Virginia

212
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 4: Tech commit.

213
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 5: As of this morning.

214
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 4: Andrew Rogers flushed out Nickols to the right side of

215
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 4: his screen towards the bench of Grimsley and kind of

216
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 4: forced an awkward throw, could have been worse, kind of

217
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 4: lands it at the feet of the defender and had

218
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 4: two three and outs here and we're off and running.

219
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: Kyle Bailey, JJ Jansen here with you. The second game

220
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: of the Keep Pounding High School Classic underway, and each

221
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: offense with a three and out on its opening drive.

222
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: Alex Cooper standing at his own thirty four yard line

223
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: to receive the punt, had a short kick, a bit

224
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: of a shank, sales out of bounds and the far

225
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 3: side line judge continues to trot up the field until

226
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: he stops at the forty seven yard line, and so Faison,

227
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: Brandon and Grimsley will take over for the second time.

228
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 4: Just shy of midfield. So we actually saw this in

229
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: the first game as well, both coaches kind of taking

230
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 4: their time, trying to get a feel for the game.

231
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: A couple of quick three and ounces again, same thing

232
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: that happened in the Huff South South Point game is

233
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 4: everyone's kind of getting the field, getting their feet wet.

234
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 4: What you're looking for here in this first what we say,

235
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 4: like the first ten of the first fifteen is both

236
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: sides are sort of feeling each other out, what formations work, Where.

237
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 5: Are my mismatches?

238
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 4: Faison Brandon as the number one player, A lot's ultimately

239
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 4: gonna be put on his shoulders. But early on, can

240
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 4: Darryl Brown find some easy throws for him? Find some

241
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: easy plays? Jesse Tripp, He's the play call he's the

242
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 4: quarterback coach. He's how much can I take off of

243
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 4: his plate early so that the playmaking skills come up late.

244
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 5: We'll be curious to see.

245
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 4: Kind of how they continue to fill each other out

246
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 4: in this kind of punch CounterPunch element that we've got

247
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 4: going on here, this big game between two defending state

248
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 4: champions face on.

249
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: Brandon, as we've mentioned, number one rated quarterback in the country,

250
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: committed to Tennessee three seasons at Grimley, did not start

251
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 3: as a freshman, but played in every regular season game,

252
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: been the starter since his sophomore year, and comes in

253
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: boasting a twenty nine and one record as a starter.

254
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: Leadership is the first word that Darryl Brown used to

255
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 3: describe him, saying he's not a vocal guy, but he

256
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 3: leads by example. Says he's taken ownership of the offense,

257
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: and Brandon's experience allows for a lot of flexibility for

258
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 3: Daryl Brown a company because of Andon's experiences. Here on

259
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: first down, fires one out to the near side, falls

260
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: in complete looking for Hudson Cooper, brother of Alex and Brandon.

261
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 4: Didn't get a ton on that football. A bit of

262
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 4: a dangerous play right there. It was very close to

263
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 4: a lateral to the west. Charlotte sideline actually thought it

264
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 4: was a lateral and they kind of scooped the ball

265
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 4: up and run. We're gonna get another look here on

266
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: our replay, and the ball does come forward just a

267
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 4: little bit. But a really really nice job on the

268
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 4: clothes out there against Hudson Cooper, the wide receiver.

269
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 5: That play was done by Xavier Porter.

270
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: Second down and ten now balls at the forty seven

271

00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 3: near side. Brandon from the gun screen to Cooper, he's

273
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 3: got room to run.

274
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 4: It's a foot race.

275
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,680

00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 4: Unnald Screen. Hudson Cooper comes back through the middle, and

281
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,320

Speaker 3: from fifty three yards out, his first touchdown to the season.

299
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: Same for quarterback fase On Brandon and the Grimsley Worthies

300
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: out of Greensboro lead at seven to nothing here in

301

Speaker 3: the keep Pounding Classic. But would you look at this?

302
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: More fireworks on the way on special teams. We got

303
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 3: a big return and right away dub c answering number

304
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: fourteen Davon Jones to the house. But will it stand?

305
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: A flag all the way back at the thirty three

306
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 3: yard line. Davion Jones, who Sam Grinder told us back

307
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: on Tuesday, might just be the best player on the

308
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: field with an immediate response, but a flag may erase

309
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 3: all of it.

310
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 4: I think we're going to get a likely a holding

311
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 4: the flags back around the minus thirty three yard line,

312
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 4: and it looks like everyone's beginning to work their way back.

313
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: Holding is the call? Number thirteen?

314
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: Trenton Ramser the senior, He's the culprit on that one.

315
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 3: Let's see if the replay gives us any indication as

316
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: to what actually happened and how egregious it was or wasn't.

317
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 4: Here's the replay.

318
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: Davion Jones found a lane squeezing through it. Great elusiveness

319
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 3: made a couple of defenders miss no look on that

320
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: replay as to the infraction in question, but either way,

321
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: it's coming.

322
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 4: Back and that's a massive, massive play. What you end

323
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 4: up getting a lot of time on special teams is

324
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: we say the officials are sort of officiating the grass,

325
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 4: meaning can't really see whether there's a hole, but if

326
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 4: someone ends up on the ground, they know that that's

327
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: not supposed to look right. And so what we had

328
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 4: there was a couple of white shirts were on the

329
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: ground right near Trenton rams are in. I have to

330
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: be honest, whenever you hold somebody, don't put your hands

331
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 4: up like you didn't do anything. They tend to officiate

332
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 4: that too, the I didn't do it hands and they

333
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 4: got them there.

334
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 3: First down to ten from the twenty five yard line

335
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 3: for West Charlotte, still trailing seven to nothing. The kickoff

336
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 3: return touchdown erased by a penalty that time number twenty three.

337
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: Just Seer Gray with the second carry of the evening

338
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 3: and it's a pick up of eight.

339
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 4: Kyle, I want to go back to that tunnel screen.

340
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 4: We talked about a fifty three yard play. That's what

341
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 4: all these coaches are hunting for. Can I get my

342
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 4: quarterback an easy completion and let run after the catch

343
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 4: handle it? And what we saw there was was a

344
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 4: run action to the left and then the throwback to

345
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 4: the right, and we saw really good ball handling by

346
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 4: Faizon Brandon to get the ball on the run to

347
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 4: Hudson Cooper and then all those big offensive linemen one, two,

348
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 4: three cleared out there, guys for a big play.

349
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: Second down and two it's another handoff up the middle,

350
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 3: some pinballing across the line of scrimmage, and just Seer

351
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: Gray picks up a West Charlotte first down. Notable here

352
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: on the near side of the formation was number two

353
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: wide receiver Dante Nicholson Charlotte forty nine ers commit I

354
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: bring him up. I was surveying which wide receivers were

355
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: on the field. Noticeably absent tonight is number nine Katie Cotton,

356
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 3: who is committed to Duke University. We found out minutes

357
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: before the game tonight that he is not dressed out

358
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: and will not play. Hoping for more updates on that

359
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 3: first down and ten from the thirty eight West Charlotte

360
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 3: moving right to left, quick hit or near side. Number

361
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: two Dante Nicholson makes a play like a vapor trail

362
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 3: down the near.

363
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 4: Sideline, a foot race.

364
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 3: That he's pushed out of bounds at the seventeen yard line.

365
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: Massive pickup on first down for West Charlotte. And despite

366
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 3: the kickoff return being erased, they've still got a lot

367
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 3: of juice out there and they're set up first down

368
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 3: and ten inside the red zone.

369
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 5: Another little wide receiver screen.

370
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 4: This block was sort of sprung from sprung free by

371
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 4: rakeeem Finch on the sideline on the West Charlotte side.

372
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.

373
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 4: The plays right now are going to the outside, and

374
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 4: that's been really good, getting the guys the ball in space.

375
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 4: There are some really good athletes on the field working

376
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 4: to the outside.

377
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: Forty five yards from Nickel to Nicholson. And on first

378
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: down and ten for the seventeen so Maury Nichols hands

379
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 3: off to number two Emery McClain and with a full

380
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 3: head of steam, he picks up six.

381
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 4: These plays are just extensions of the run game. Get

382
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 4: the ball on the outside. It's two on two, it's

383
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: three on three. In the case of the last wide

384
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 4: receiver screen, it's just one on one. I've got two guys,

385
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: you've got one. I got a ball handler and a

386
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 4: blocker sprung a big one free.

387
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: If you're listening out there on sports radio WFNZ, we

388
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: appreciate you being with us off and running here. In

389
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: game number two, seven to nothing, Grimsley on top of

390
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 3: West Charlotte threatening second down and four from the eleven.

391
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: It's a handoff to Emory McClain again and it looked

392
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 3: like he had some room to run, but was tripped

393
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 3: up an ankle tackle and potentially a touchdown saving tackle

394
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 3: by an interior defensive lineman trying to figure out exactly

395
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 3: who that is.

396
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 4: But a nice play right there by Grimsley. Jaden Warlaw

397
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 4: with a really nice play kind of evading at tackler,

398
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 4: and you know sometimes you're just try to grab a

399
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 4: shoe string there and came up with one.

400
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 5: They're setting up a big third down.

401
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 3: It's third down and three and it's a run off

402
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 3: the right side and a first down pick up of four.

403
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 3: Sam Grinder trusting in his run game right there on

404
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: third down and that trust pays off for him.

405
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 4: Just Sir Gray moving the sticks for the Lions. Both

406
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: offenses after that first three and out are really kind

407
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 4: of finding their comfort zone. A lot of multiple plays

408
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 4: in formations, keeping the ball moving.

409
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 3: Finch goes in motion, hard Count draws Grimsley across the

410
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage.

411
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 4: Looks like they didn't call it. They're still going audible

412
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 4: in here.

413
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: I think West Charlotte was expecting a penalty because we

414
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 3: clocked down to two. They're gonna have to burn a

415
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: time out here. And Sam Grinder comes running onto the

416
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 3: field signaling for a time out. The near sideline judge.

417
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I've seen that before. But Jamari Nichols, good job.

418
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 3: Hard Count clap draws multiple defenders across the line of scrimmage.

419
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: No flag comes in and it kind of caught West

420
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 3: Charlotte off guard.

421
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, they kind of got stuck in between there. Sometimes

422
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 4: the center will snap the ball. Teams will have like

423
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 4: a go call, like if the defensive line comes across

424
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, the center snaps it and everyone

425
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: just got a predetermined whether it's four vertical routes or

426
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 4: something very quick and easy that everyone knows to convert to. Instead,

427
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 4: ball's not snapped, defense retreats and Sam Grinder's trying to audible,

428
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 4: trying to get into a new look. He sees a

429
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 4: blitz kind of get uncovered, and I think all the

430
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 4: players on West Charlotte just thought, well, they must have

431
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 4: thrown the flag and they didn't play clock goes down

432
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 4: and just couldn't get it communicated. So I'll have to

433
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 4: burn their first time out here with five eighteen left

434
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 4: in the first quarter.

435
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 3: Kyle Bailey, JJ Janssen here with you on Charlotte Sports

436
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: Leader Sports Radio ninety two to seven wfn Z. Proud

437
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 3: to bring you to keep Pounding High School Classic for

438
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: the first time on these airwaves, but an event that's

439
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: been around for a couple of years. Kudos go out

440
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: to David and Nicole Tepper, ownership here at the Carolina

441
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 3: Panthers and Riley Fields, director of community relations, and everyone

442
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 3: who has a hand in making this happen, this doubleheader

443
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 3: that celebrates the sport of football, but also high school

444
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: football here in a great state four high school football.

445
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 3: You often hear about the Texas and California and Florida's

446
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 3: and Georgia's of the world, but this is one of

447
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 3: the most populated states in America and with that brings

448
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 3: a lot of young talent in youth sports. Football in particular,

449
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 3: and that's on display here tonight. First down in six

450
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: rather first down in goal for West Charlotte, and that

451
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: play starts but stopped by one, two, three, four penalty

452
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: flags out there on the field.

453
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 4: I think they're all going to get the same false start.

454
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: Everyone kind of started except for the snap. So fall

455
00:22:54,680 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 4: start on everybody.

456
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 3: Number seventy three, Khalil Cheese, Hansley McNair, he goes by Cheese.

457
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 5: It's gonna be easier for us.

458
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 4: We'll just call him cheese. That's always one as I

459
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 4: played offensive line in high school and one of my

460
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 4: biggest frustrations is when everyone false starts but they call

461
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 4: you just you're the one guy they singled out. Yeah,

462
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 4: I was never a big.

463
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 5: Fan of that.

464
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

465
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: This West Charlotte offensive line, by the way, from right

466
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: to left goes six three three twenty six two three

467
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: thirty five, six feet three fifteen, six feet two fifty

468
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: five and six two two seventy five.

469
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 4: Big boys out there, Big.

470
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 3: Boys absolutely first down and goal from the eleven after

471
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: a five yard penalty and another flag flies in as

472
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: soon as Jamari Nichols gets his hand on the football,

473
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 3: and immediately we see another false start penalty will be

474
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 3: called against West Charlotte, And this is common.

475
00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 4: Let's say in high.

476
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 3: School football all in week one, you get some sloppiness,

477
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 3: you get some pre snap procedural penalties. We saw it

478
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 3: in the first game between Huff and South Point. If

479
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 3: you're Sam grinder at certainly driving you crazy right now,

480
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: especially given the fact that you felt like you had

481
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 3: a lot of momentum after the big play to Nicholson

482
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: that got you down inside the red zone.

483
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, your first and goal at the six now your

484
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 4: first and goal at the sixteen. But yes, Kyle, like

485
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 4: the early games, you got some pre snap penalties. You're

486
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 4: gonna have some delayed games or using timeouts. Can you

487
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 4: survive this first quarter and kind of begin to find

488
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 4: the vibe of the game and the feel this is

489
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 4: the first game for a lot of these boys in

490
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 4: ten ten months. They just get to snap off.

491
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 3: Nichols thought he might hand it off to Gray, pulls

492
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 3: it out and was swarmed by three Grimsly defenders back

493
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: at the eighteen yard line.

494
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 4: That's a loss of two. Andrew Rodgers was the first

495
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 4: one in there, and again he's he's retafficked here.

496
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 5: Early on.

497
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 4: Jaden Warlaw, the junior defensive tackle also in on the hit.

498
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: And now you're trying to figure out, Hey, if I'm

499
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: coach Grinner, Hey, how do we find a field goal here?

500
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 4: This is second a goal from the eighteen. You don't

501
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 4: have to force it into the end zone. Let's find

502
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 4: some yards, Let's maybe get into third and manageable and

503
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 4: worst case scenario walk away here with some points on

504
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 4: what was a really good drive until the two fall

505
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 4: star penalties. And now all of a sudden, we've burned

506
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 4: a second time out for West Charlotte.

507
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 3: Yep, the lines went from first to goal at the

508
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 3: six to now facing second and goal from the eighteen

509
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: yard line. Time out. Take it on the field. We'll

510
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: keep it right here. Kyle Bailey, JJ Jansen with you

511
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 3: here on this Friday evening, celebrating Friday Night lights and

512
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: about the biggest way possible here at Bank of America Stadium,

513
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 3: one of, if not the best high school football game

514
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: in America, West Charlotte versus Grimsley, Charlotte versus Greensboro, and

515
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 3: it's seven tohing after a Hudson Cooper fifty three yard

516
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 3: touchdown on a tunnel screen from Fazon Brandon lift the

517
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: fireworks and got us started here in the first quarter.

518
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 3: West Charlotte immediately, it seemed, responded with a Davon Jones

519
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: kickoff return for a touchdown, a play that was called

520
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: back because of a hold on number thirteen Trenton rams Aer.

521
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 3: West Charlotte, though unfaced a forty five yard pass play

522
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 3: from Jamuriy Nichols to Dante Nicholson that set them up

523
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: first in goal with the six. But a handful of

524
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 3: penalties and some mistakes and some Grimsley defense now has

525
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 3: us it's second down and goal from the eighteen.

526
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 4: If I'm West Charlotte here, as they're kind of recollecting

527
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 4: their thoughts, this drive has been pretty good.

528
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 5: How do I come away with points right now?

529
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 4: If I'm Sam Grinder Jamuri Nichols in this West Charlotte offense,

530
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 4: They've burned two timeouts, they were in the red they

531
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 4: were down in the tight red zone, down at the

532
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 4: six yard line, and now all of a sudden, I

533
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 4: find myself in the second goal from the eighteen, and

534
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: you know Grimsley's defensive line is going to pin their

535
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: ears back. I imagine we're going to see Andrew Rodgers

536
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 4: off the side cashes bostick off the other side, and

537
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 4: how do I just protect the ball and find a

538
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 4: way to come away with this drive with points because

539
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: you've sort of matched what Grimsly did on their second

540
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 4: drive they got a touchdown. You've matched the energy. You

541
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 4: immediately know, hey, we can play with these guys. They score,

542
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: we've taken the ball right back down on actually twice.

543
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 4: So keep calm, find a way to end up with

544
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 4: some points, either a field goal or a touchdown here.

545
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 4: Don't turn the ball over, and you're right back in

546
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 4: the game. You're in a good spot here. Through about

547
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 4: half of the first quarter.

548
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 3: You and I talked to Sam Grinder about his quarterback

549
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 3: Jamury Nichols running this offense that has its roots in

550
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 3: the wing tea with misdirection and how important you know,

551
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: ball handling and i'm manipulation are in this game and

552
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 3: running this offense, and just watching Grimsley's defensive front get

553
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: up the field hard and aggressive, you wonder if maybe

554
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 3: that's something they can take advantage of here.

555
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 4: One of the biggest things when you've got pullers on

556
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 4: the offensive line is can I get penetration West Charlotte's

557
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 4: got to counter some of the upfield penetration or like

558
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 4: we saw on the on the wide receiver screen earlier,

559
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 4: get the ball to the outside.

560
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 3: Land and Gilmour coming in should across the formation. Nickel

561
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: swings it out wide. Catch made by rackem Finch. Finch

562
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: trying to make a man miss but cannot get away

563
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 3: from number thirteen.

564
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 4: Mackay yawn.

565
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 3: It's a pickup of about ten we'll call it eleven actually,

566
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 3: and it sets up third down and goal from the seventh.

567
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 5: Good little play here.

568
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 4: They kind of catch him in a little bit of

569
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 4: a man concept.

570
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 5: They work.

571
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 4: They work rakeem Finch across from the left to right

572
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 4: along along the five yard line or so. And a

573
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 4: really nice job here to get this into that third

574
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 4: and manageable here from West Charlotte third and seven.

575
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 5: Again, this may be four down territory.

576
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 4: They don't really know, well, Sean doesn't really know what

577
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 4: their kicking game totally looks like Sam Grinder kind of

578
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 4: told us ahead of time. We're still trying to figure

579
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 4: that out. So could be four down territory.

580
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 3: Three wide receivers, two to the knee, that's Nicholson and Gilmore.

581
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: Nichols immediate pressure up the middle, flush to the left,

582
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 3: running near sideline, turns throws across his body into the

583
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 3: end zone to a wide open Dante Nicholson. Touchdown top

584
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: c puts six on the board for the home team.

585
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 5: What a play.

586
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 4: This play broke down At the beginning, two or three

587
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 4: guys come free, including Drew Serrils. The linebacker for Grimsley,

588
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 4: flushed out Jamari Nichols to his left and really there

589
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 4: was nothing there. In fact, Dante Nicholson was standing in

590
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 4: the end zone almost like I'm covered. This play is over,

591
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 4: and when the fourth or fifth defender came towards Nichols,

592
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 4: he just flipped it across the goal line for an

593
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 4: easy time. That's the easiest touchdown catcher're gonna have in

594
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 4: your entire career.

595
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 5: He was just standing there.

596
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 3: How about that number thirty seven on for the pat

597
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 3: Angel Ruiz actually number thirty one. Pardon me, the pat

598
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: is good and we are all knotted up at seven apiece.

599
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 3: Let's check the replay. Here will be your eyes on

600
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 3: this one. Jamuriy Nichols flushed out to his left nearly

601
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 3: to the sideline, turns throwing against his body to a

602
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 3: wide open number two Dante Nicholson. The Charlotte forty nine

603
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 3: ers commit who made two monster plays on this scoring

604
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 3: drive earlier, a forty five yard catch and run to

605
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 3: set the lines up first and goal, and he finishes

606
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: the job.

607
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 4: There in the end zone and Ramier Harris Jupriz is

608
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 4: the corner. He's guarding Nicholson and there are three defenders

609
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 4: going towards Nichols, and he just kind of leaves his man.

610
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 4: I think one of the dangers of having a running

611
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: quarterback as a defense is everyone feels like I've got

612
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 4: to be the guy that gets.

613
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 5: Him down on the ground.

614
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 4: And they're on that scramble drill working out to the left.

615
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 4: Everything's covered. It's it is a sack and the end

616
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 4: of the play. But when you have somebody as athletic

617
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 4: as Nichols, sometimes the DB's.

618
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 5: Just lose track of the play because they're nervous.

619
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 4: They've been told all week how impressive Nichols is as

620
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 4: a runner. It's like, I gotta get in the action.

621
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 4: And he just leaves Nicholson wide open. Like I said,

622
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 4: Nicholson thought the play was over. He's just standing in

623
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 4: the end zone. All of a sudden, you get a

624
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 4: little flip and at seven to seven.

625
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,479
Speaker 3: A nine play sixty eight yard scoring drive. Shout out

Speaker 3: plays sixty four yards in a touchdown, the equalizer for

629
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: West Charlotte with three point forty left to play here

630
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: in the opening quarter.

631
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 4: And now Wes.

632
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: Charlotte a little bit of a delay here lining up

633
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: for the kickoff back to Grimsley.

634
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 5: Pulled one of the players off.

635
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's an equipment thing or the

636
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 4: referees pulled off Jamill Watsont, number eleven from the kickoff team.

637
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 4: Let's say they're going to restart now. So the ball

638
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 4: is teed up.

639
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 3: And kicked away by number thirty eight Brandon Raccoon, the

640
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 3: kickoff specialist here tonight. Another short kick fielded by number

641
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: five Kai in Battle and Battle swallowed up by a

642
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 3: couple of special teamers for West Charlotte, number twenty four

643
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 3: Josiah Whitlock to make the stop.

644
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 4: So unlike in our first game, where it felt like

645
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 4: for three quarters everyone was trying to feel each other out,

646
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 4: we have three and out, three and out touchdown drive

647
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 4: touchdown drive, and I have a sense that this might

648
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 4: be a shootout with the quality of quarterbacks and skill

649
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 4: players we have on the outside. Pretty good drives there

650
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 4: for both teams, and we've got a seven to seven

651
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 4: game here.

652
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 5: With three thirty left in the first.

653
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 3: Quarter, third possession of the game for Grimsley, first down

654
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: to ten for the thirty three face on, Brandon sneaks

655
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 3: through some traffic at the line of scrimmage a designed

656
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: run and he gallops out to the forty four yard

657
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 3: line where he runs out of bounds after a first

658
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 3: down for the Whorlies.

659
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 4: First time we've seen Brandon run on a quarterback design run.

660
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 4: One player's kind of got a lead blocker there and

661
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 4: a nice little run gets you started. I like when

662
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 4: running quarterbacks get a few design runs early in the game.

663
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 4: I think it gets them into the flow of the

664
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 4: game early. And Brandon with a nice first down run there.

665
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 3: Thirteen yards on the gallop for brand moving left to right,

666
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 3: balls on the near side, Hash fires at far side

667
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: to Cooper.

668
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 4: This time it's Alex.

669
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 3: Alex makes the grab, fighting out across midfield into plus territory,

670
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 3: tackled out of bounds at the forty eight yard line

671
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 3: of West Charlotte by number eighteen. Pardon me, that's number

672
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 3: ten maj Daniels making the tackle.

673
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 4: It was a cool little play. There was a wide

674
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 4: receiver screen baked in with a go route. West Charlotte

675
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 4: did a nice job of not biting on the screen,

676
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 4: kind of went screen deep ball back to the little

677
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 4: wide receiver screen to Cooper.

678
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: Three catches for the Cooper family so far here in

679
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 3: the early going, three seventeen left to play. Now with

680
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 3: Hudson Cooper's turn catches one out in the flat inside

681
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 3: the forty five yard line should be enough for another

682
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 3: Grimsley first down.

683
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 4: You can see why Jesse tripped the quarterback. Coach and

684
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 4: play caller likes getting into the Cooper brothers. They are

685
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 4: really hard to get down, really good hands. And again

686
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 4: this becomes the extension of the run game. The balls

687
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 4: on the outside and with everything packed in right now,

688
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 4: you can get some really athletic guys on the outside,

689
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 4: man and man and try to break some tackles for

690
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 4: big runs.

691
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: Three wide receivers to the far side of the formation.

692
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: The give is to the running back number two, Micah

693
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: Williams up the gut and he picks up positive yardage

694
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 3: for the first time tonight, tackled at the thirty nine

695
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 3: yard line.

696
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 5: It's been a really cool pace of the game so far.

697
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 4: It feels like both teams they're not going fast, they're

698
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 4: not going slow.

699
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,479
Speaker 5: Everyone feels very comfortable on the field.

700
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 4: A little bit different than that first game where I

701
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 4: said we're trying to feel each other out, Like we

702
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 4: are into the action really really fast. I think it

703
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 4: speaks to how well both of these teams are coached

704
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 4: and the energy that's in the stadium tonight.

705
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 3: Kai in Battle in motion the bottom of the screen,

706
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 3: the give is back to Micah Williams again, but this

707
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 3: time dropped at the line of scrimmage. Number zero Sam

708
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 3: Johnson coming off the far edge and number five Elijah

709
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 3: Little Jean meeting him there to make the stop.

710
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 4: And we're gonna get into this a little bit more,

711
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 4: but a little bit of a unique defensive style from

712
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 4: Sam Grinder's defensive group. Sometimes we'll play four men, sometimes

713
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 4: they'll play five men. Elijah Little john he's kind of

714
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 4: their linebacker. He's kind of a pass rushing end. It's

715
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 4: gonna add some complicated looks for this Grind or for

716
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 4: this Grimsly offensive line. Is it three down? Is it

717
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 4: four down? Is a five down? The multiple looks will

718
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 4: be a challenge.

719
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 3: Ty Schumak joining Beason Brandon in the backfield, this time

720
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 3: on third and eight to the thirty nine.

721
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 4: There goes Brandon.

722
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 3: Inside the thirty yard line down to the twenty seven.

723
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 3: That's a game of twelve yards for the Grimsley quarterback

724
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 3: and he gives his offense a fresh set of downs.

725
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 4: Just a little counterplay here. You got two pullers h

726
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 4: Gavin Milton, Jackson Simmons pulling left to right and you

727
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 4: just get get in behind the big guys are pushing

728
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 4: down the line of scrimmage and and two now runs

729
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 4: from Freison Brandon and that kind of got something cooking again.

730
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 3: That's on Brandon already with twenty five yards rushing here,

731
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 3: one twenty left to go in the opening quarter, seven

732
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 3: to seven game. These two heavyweights trading punches. A couple

733
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 3: of touchdowns here in the opening quarter, as that time

734
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 3: on first down, it's a handoff to the left side.

735
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 4: Number twenty four.

736
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 3: Ty Shoemaker gets his first touch of the evening and

737
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 3: he picks up two.

738
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 4: You get another counter look here and look head coach

739
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 4: Daryl Brown said, Hey, this is the biggest we've ever

740
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 4: been up front, and we're gonna live and die by

741
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 4: running the ball. And we've seen that on this drive,

742
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 4: whether it's been with Brandon or with the running backs.

743
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 5: They want to be a running team.

744
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 4: So even though they've got this talented quarterback that all

745
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 4: the schools want, Tennessee got at the end of the day,

746
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 4: as we talked about before, Grimsley is gonna take on

747
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 4: the style of their coach.

748
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 5: They want to run the.

749
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 3: Ball, phasing, straight drop. On second down and eight, he's

750
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 3: in trouble. He's sacked back at the thirty two yard line.

751
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 4: That'll be a loss of seven yards.

752
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 3: Faison Brandon tried to he thought he had some room,

753
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 3: but was chased down by Elijah little John from the backside.

754
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 4: How about that closing speech. I don't know if that

755
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 4: was a misprotection or they should have been hot off

756
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 4: that off that, but the whole offensive line went to

757
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 4: the left. No back picked up Little John, nor should they.

758
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 4: I mean that that should be one on one with

759
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 4: the outside tackle. Feels like a misprotection and that'll probably

760
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 4: take us to the end of the first quarter.

761
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: Sure looks like at three two one on the scoreboard,

762
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 3: and now triple zero's the score seven to seven. West

763
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 3: Charlotte answers Grimsley. We're all knotted up going into the

764
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 3: second frame here at Bank of America Stadium.

765
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:34,239

00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 4: In the first quarter. JJ Jansen Yew. Whenever you get

787
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 4: into these big games, the senior leadership has to come out.

788
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 4: Who are your dudes, And what we've seen here, whether

789
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 4: it's been Elijah Little Jean, Fazon, Brandon, the Cooper brothers,

790
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 4: we've seen a lot of action from the best players

791
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 4: on the field. And what's been really cool is it's

792
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 4: been punch, CounterPunch, now three and out, three and out,

793
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 4: touchdown drive, touchdown drive, and now we're getting another one here,

794
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 4: although we've got a big third down coming up here

795
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 4: for Grimsly. And when your coach, when your coach said, hey,

796
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 4: we're gonna put the ball in your hands, you want

797
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 4: a bunch of guys to stand up and say, give

798
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 4: me the ball, let me make a play. And in

799
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 4: these big games, you're hoping that your leaders are the

800
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 4: ones that are kind of making the first first punches.

801
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 5: And so far we've had that.

802
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 3: TIA's Shoemak back in the backfield to start the second

803
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 3: quarter next to Faison Brandon, Alex Cooper, Kayne Battle, the

804
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 3: two wide receivers to the top of the formation. Hudson

805
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 3: Cooper already with a fifty three yard touchdown tonight, kind

806
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 3: of in a wing back spot right now. We'll see

807
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 3: if he gets moving before the snap here, but we

808
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 3: flipped the field. Grimsley moving right to left on your

809
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 3: radio dial N plus territory lot of scrimmage the west

810
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 3: Charlotte thirty one yard line ball on the near side.

811
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 3: Hash Brandon calls for it, rolling right, has protection fires

812
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 3: complete to Cayenne Battle just short of the sticks. But

813
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 3: this will make for an interesting decision for Darryl Brown.

814
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 4: Feels like it's gonna be pretty straightforward. They're gonna probably

815
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 4: go for it. And what you're really looking for is

816
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 4: can I get this inside a fourth and four, fourth

817
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 4: and five where I feel pretty comfortable. Now we've said

818
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 4: it a couple of times today. This is no man's lands.

819
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,479
Speaker 4: Most high school kickers are not lining up from forty

820
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 4: forty five yards, so you got a big chunk left

821
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 4: and fourth and three now is a very manageable conversion

822
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 4: opportunity here for Grimsley.

823
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 3: Faison Brandon four of six passing for seventy five yards

824
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 3: so far in a touchdown. Fourth down, and three keeps

825
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 3: it himself and he stopped after a gain of two

826
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 3: one yard short of the first down marker.

827
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 4: But a flag flies in late, kind of flag in

828
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 4: from the backside, and I'm not sure if we're gonna

829
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,280
Speaker 4: get I don't know what we get there from that angle.

830
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 5: It could have been. I don't know if we're gonna.

831
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 4: Get a hold.

832
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 5: Maybe a face mask.

833
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 4: So weird angle for on an inside run play is

834
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 4: just a one man power with one polar I'm not

835
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 4: sure what the back judge has to throw from thirty

836
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 4: yards away.

837
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 3: Well, they're still deliberating out there at about the seventeen

838
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 3: yard line, the head official, two of his compadres talking

839
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 3: it over, a couple of players from each side listening in.

840
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 3: We're looking for body language here. Damn, I believe you

841
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 3: said illegal block below the ways. So what we're gonna

842
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 3: get here?

843
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

844
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, there it is.

845
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 4: So you're sort of taught to block the polar right,

846
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 4: So fifty seven and Jackson Simmons is pulling and the

847
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 4: corner coming off the edge. That's a big guy running

848
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 4: at me. Michael Walker.

849
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 5: It goes low.

850
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 4: You got to be above the way, so you're kind

851
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 4: of cracking the cracker, as it sort of says, and

852
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 4: all of a sudden we end up with a block. Bloways.

853
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 4: That's a safety rule, is all that is. We don't

854
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 4: want shots at the knee. It's just a very unusual

855
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 4: call from that angle, and it's the right call, but

856
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 4: it's a big call. And I'll give a first down

857
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 4: and goal from the nine and we'll get a time

858
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 4: out here from Grimsley.

859
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure looks that way. That's deflating a bit. If

860
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 3: you're the West Charlotte Lions. It looked like you had

861
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 3: to stop on fourth down in three they stopped fhazon

862
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 3: Brand in a yard shore of the sticks. But instead

863
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 3: a penalty will give Grimsley an automatic first down. It

864
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 3: sets the whorlies up first down and goal from the

865
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 3: nine yard.

866
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 4: Line, and Sam Grinder is bringing the white hat over

867
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 4: and trying to get an understanding that is a very

868
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 4: unusual call. Again, I think it's the right call. But

869
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 4: as a defensive back, all of a sudden you have

870
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 4: a pulling guard, right, So Jackson Simmons is you're sitting

871
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 4: there at five ten, two hundred pounds, You're like where

872
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 4: do I go? And I've got to hold the point

873
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,959
Speaker 4: because that's exactly where they're trying to run the ball.

874
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 4: And you know, sometimes they say low man wins, But

875
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 4: if that block gets below the waist from a safety standpoint,

876
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,240
Speaker 4: that used to be very commonplace in the NFL in college,

877
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 4: those rules in order for player safety, protect the knees

878
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 4: and things of that sort has changed. Of course, I

879
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 4: always feel bad for the DB's going, well, I'm eighty

880
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 4: pounds lighter. What am I supposed to do? And it's

881
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 4: the right call. It's just a big one there on.

882
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 4: Otherwise would have been a fourth down stop for West Charlotte.

883
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 3: So Grimsley will come back out again with fresh life.

884
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 3: First down in goal from the nine yard line.

885
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 5: Sam Grinder is still hot.

886
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 4: Any official within ten yards of him is getting an

887
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 4: ear full after this faison.

888
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 3: Brandon the quarterback back out with his litany of playmakers.

889
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 3: The brothers Cooper split out wide to the bottom of

890
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 3: the formation, high end battle in the slot, Ty Shuemaker

891
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 3: back to the left of Brandon, who's in the gun.

892
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 3: An early movement by a West Charlotte defensive tackle. I

893
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 3: believe that was big number ninety nine to Mary Wallace,

894
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 3: the junior who jumped early, and that'll be five yards

895
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 3: additional for the Grimsley offense.

896
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 4: Good use of cadence there right after a big play.

897
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 4: Can you maybe get the defensive line a little out

898
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 4: of kilter? And now it's first.

899
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 3: Some goal from the four, same formation for the whorlies

900
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 3: balls on the far side, Hash shotguns snapped back to Brandon.

901
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 3: Brandon hands to Shoemaker and Shoemake is cut down back

902
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 3: at the seven yard line. That's a loss of three yards.

903
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 4: A lot of carries here for the sophomore running back,

904
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 4: and it just goes to show the depth of this team,

905
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 4: sophomores and juniors all over the field. One of the

906
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 4: Cooper brothers, Alex Cooper, also a soft. Grimsley's got a deep,

907
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 4: deep well of talented players to go along with their senior.

908
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 3: Quarterback Xavier Porter, with a nice tackle that time to

909
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 3: bring down Shoemake. Second down and goal from the seven

910
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 3: yard line. Battling motion across the formation, Brandon takes the snap,

911
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 3: gives to number two Micah Williams, and Williams picks up

912
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 3: about a yard, but then driven backward. Third down and

913
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 3: goal from the five coming up Kaden Smith with a

914
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 3: nice tackle there, and hasn't been a lot of running

915
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 3: room inside. It's just sort of a little split zone

916
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 3: carry there. And more helmets flying. I don't know what

917
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 3: the deal is, but there's helmets all over the place.

918
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 4: Michael Griffin, also in the linebacker for West Charlotte with

919
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 4: Notre Dame and FSU offers, I feel like I got

920
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 4: a reference as many Notre Dame guys as I can, cause.

921
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 5: I don't like the Virginia tech.

922
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 3: Dude, you have to, that's right, Sam Grinder also saying

923
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 3: Michael Griffin might be the best linebacker he's ever seen.

924
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? Another one?

925
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 3: I don't want to pick on the kid, but Damari

926
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 3: Wallace number ninety nine with a carbon copy penalty from

927
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 3: the one we saw snap before last.

928
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 4: And the and the pushes on the center from pre

929
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 4: snaper getting more and more egregious. Neil Johnson went flying

930
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 4: back as Damari Wallace hit him right in the shoulder pads.

931
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 5: And then immediately put his hands on his head like

932
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 5: what have I done? Oh? Go?

933
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 4: A tough sequence of events there for Wallace. Big big

934
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 4: play here.

935
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 3: Sorry Wallace six four three forty Neil Johnson five nine

936
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 3: two fifty five.

937
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 4: There's a discrepancy there.

938
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 3: Here's Brandon on third down and goal, fighting for the

939
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 3: goal line, and it looks like he was stopped inches short.

940
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 4: Did another helmet come off another We're up to about

941
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 4: five or six. We're gonna get a counter here, helmet counter.

942
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 4: I think we're up to five or six on uh

943
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 4: lost helmets. But this ball right at the goal line,

944
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 4: probably about a half a yard off and.

945
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 3: They're gonna go quickly. Fourth down, a goal from the one.

946
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 3: Grimsley a big snap right here, seven to seven ballgame.

947
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 5: I feel like this is for Brandon.

948
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 4: Right Brandon gives to Michael Williams.

949
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 3: Williams dives into the end zone, touchdown, Grimsley whorlies and

950
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 3: the squad from Greensboro retakes the lead thirteen to seven.

951
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 4: That's a really really good drive, you know, aided by

952
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 4: that penalty on that fourth down conversion that went against

953
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 4: West Charlotte. And the running game right now for Grimsley

954
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 4: hasn't been explosive, but it's been really efficient, and they're

955
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 4: putting a lot in the in the hands of phase

956
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 4: on Brandon, Do I give it?

957
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 5: Do I take it?

958
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 4: And nice run there by Michael Williams to pound it

959
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 4: in from about a half yard in, but again penalties

960
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 4: again for West Charlotte. They've had a bunch. They had

961
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 4: him on offense, two on that or three on that drive.

962
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 4: Excuse me, and kind of bailing them out a little bit.

963
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 3: Chase Hull Mantle on for the extra point, splits the uprights.

964
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:54,959
Speaker 4: It's good.

965
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 3: Fourteen to seven. Grimsley retakes the lead with nine thirty

966
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 3: eight left to go into second quarter. It's the Keep

970
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,799

971
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 3: point on a fourteen play sixty seven yard touchdown drive,

972

976
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 3: Panthers long snapper JJ Jansen, bringing you the action of

977
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 3: the Keep Pounding High School Classic here on wfn Z,

978
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 3: and this second game, West Charlotte and Grimsley, a couple

979
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 3: of defending state champions preseason rank number one in seven

980
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 3: A and eight A respectively.

981
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 4: Well, it's living up to the billing.

982
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 3: There's a high, short kickoff from Grimsley fielded by number

983
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 3: twenty three just Seer Gray, not much of a return,

984
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: and the Lions will get the football back at their

985
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 3: own twenty nine yard.

986
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 5: Lock, cool kick there by Chase Hull Mantil trying to

987
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 5: drop it.

988
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 4: It almost becomes like an extended on side kick that

989
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 4: Grimsley almost gets. But going back to that last drive,

990
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 4: fourteen play drive the one before at nine, Grimsly with

991
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 4: that big offensive line, that's twenty three plays in the

992
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 4: last two drives, and if there through was this fifteen

993
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 4: minutes now of the game, you'd like to think that

994
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:27,919
Speaker 4: this is everything that they wanted. They want to lean

995
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 4: on West Charlotte with their big, big offensive line and

996
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 4: kind of grind down this athletic group for the Lions.

997
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 3: So Jamuri Nicholson Company get the football back first and

998
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 3: ten on their own twenty nine. Moving left to right

999
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 3: on your radio dial, ball on the far side, hash left, hash,

1000
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 3: depending upon your perspective.

1001
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 4: On first down.

1002
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 3: It's a handoff left side to number twenty two Emery McClain.

1003
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 4: West Charlotte matched the first touchdown drive from Grim's Let's

1004
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 4: see if they can do it again here, and they

1005
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 4: did a little bit differently a little They're looking for

1006
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 4: explosives all around the field. The inside run game not

1007
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 4: quite as explosive getting the ball to the outside as

1008
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:11,439
Speaker 4: we see a wide receiver screen here.

1009
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 3: Down at the bottom, Dante Nicholson makes the grab, tries

1010
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 3: to run after the catch, but he is caught and

1011
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 3: brought down by number twenty Ramier Harris Dupree. Harris Dupree,

1012
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 3: one of those players that head coach Darryl Brown told

1013
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 3: us to look out for tonight, has multiple offers at

1014
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 3: the collegiate level. Like many of the players out there tonight,

1015
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 3: still mulling his decision, but very active, very physical player.

1016
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,919
Speaker 3: Ball now on the near side hash second third down

1017
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 3: and two coming after a gain of five. Nichols taking

1018
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 3: his time at the line of scrimmage and flag flies in.

1019
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 4: What'd you see? JJ, looks like we had a little twitching,

1020
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 4: probably a probably gonna get us our false start here?

1021
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 4: Sure are so? What show it's done? Something interesting here?

1022
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 4: Multiple times. They have sort of sped up, got to

1023
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 4: the Lion of scrimmage with plenty of time on the

1024
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 4: play clock, and then it almost looks like they're standing

1025
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 4: around and it looks like Sam Grinder is sort of

1026
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 4: calling it from the sideline, and so there's been a

1027
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 4: little bit of communication that's just a little slower to

1028
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 4: get in. It's probably part of the way that they

1029
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 4: want to do some audibling where the coaches can get

1030
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 4: a feel for, Hey, where are these guys lined up

1031
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 4: and what can we attack.

1032
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 5: Now?

1033
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 3: Third down and seven from the thirty two, Nickels hands

1034
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 3: off to Gray. Gray stretching it left side around the corner,

1035
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 3: ball comes loose at the end.

1036
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 4: And Grimsly thinks they have it.

1037
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 3: Do they had Gray held on to the football, that

1038
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 3: would have been a Lion's first down, but the ball

1039
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 3: came out as Gray was going down and it's Grimsley football.

1040
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 5: They had the first down. That was on third and seven.

1041
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 4: You don't typically see run, but you get a lighter

1042
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 4: box and Grace got the first down. As we're seeing

1043
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 4: this replay and as he's going to the ground, it's

1044
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 4: the most dangerous time as you're going to the ground

1045
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 4: guys are punching from behind and big play looks like

1046
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 4: Patrick Carter kind of got the one punch on the

1047
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 4: left hand of Gray knocks the ball out and there's

1048
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:24,479
Speaker 4: our first turnover of the game.

1049
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 5: And Grimsley has got all the momentum.

1050
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 3: Now Tristan Wardlaw, the sophomore defensive lineman, coming up with

1051
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 3: the football and now Grimsley up fourteen to seven, having

1052
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 3: just scored minutes ago. They have the ball in plus territory.

1053
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 3: They give us to Michael Williams on first down. Williams

1054
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 3: back to the original line of scrimmage, takes a big

1055
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 3: shot from number one Michael Griffin, who lost his helmet

1056
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 3: again and Davon Jones, what is going on with Michael

1057
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 3: Griffin's helmets?

1058
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 4: I will add it to the list. He's been the

1059
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 4: offender of about three or four of these. And big

1060
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 4: play in the game was on that goal line play

1061
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 4: for the touchdown. Michael Griffin's helmet came off, comes off again.

1062
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 4: He wasn't even on the field. This is two or

1063
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 4: three times. They've got to get this squared away or

1064
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,240
Speaker 4: their best player on defense isn't gonna be on the field.

1065
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 3: Just a one yard gain for Micah Williams that time

1066
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 3: had to work for it too. Second down and nine

1067
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 3: from the thirty nine yard line of West Charlotte, here's

1068
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 3: Grimsley Faison Brandon going up top, has a man trying

1069
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 3: to drop it in between three defenders and a pretty

1070
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 3: good throw, but Cayenne Battle couldn't get there, falls incomplete.

1071
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 4: Nice little throw. It's kind of like a slot fade.

1072
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 4: So he's this number two receiver to the right side

1073
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 4: of the formation and on the outside Hudson Cooper stops

1074
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 4: at about five yards and then he's got all that

1075
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 4: sideline Battle does to work to the open side, but

1076
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 4: good tight coverage from the slot defender Michael Walker. And

1077
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 4: third down, this is a big third down, probably four

1078
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 4: down territory fourteen to seven. Grimsley on top with the football.

1079
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,879
Speaker 3: Third and nine from the thirty nine of West Charlotte,

1080
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 3: Brandon stops and checks his sideline play clock at eight.

1081
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 5: Now.

1082
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 3: He shifts Ty Shoemake to his left side from the gun.

1083
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 3: Brandon takes the snap, gives the Shoemaker inside handoff, and

1084
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 3: he is punished in the backfield by a couple of

1085
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 3: West Lyon defenders. Number fifty four Jason Shaw with a

1086
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 3: big hit there at the end.

1087
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 4: Nice play there again, it's another counterplay, very common that

1088
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 4: we've seen from Grimsley, and Shaw gets in there and

1089
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 4: turns what would have probably been four down territory into

1090
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 4: a punt and that's the stop that they needed after the.

1091
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 3: Turnover, Shaw actually wrapping up Shoemake there. It was number

1092
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 3: eleven Jameil Watson coming in to finish him off. And

1093
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 3: now Chase Hull Mantle will come out to punt the

1094
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 3: football on fourth and twelve for the Whorlies. Big stop

1095
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 3: by the West Charlotte defense. Hugh Mantle, bit of a misfire,

1096
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 3: punts it out of bounds. We'll see where the near

1097
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,720
Speaker 3: side judge ultimately decides this football should go. The twelve

1098
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 3: you guard line is where West Charlotte will take over.

1099
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 3: After what could have been a disastrous turnover and a

1100
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 3: fumble by just Seer Gray, the West Lion West Charlotte

1101
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 3: Lions defense bows its neck and gets the football back

1102
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 3: to its offense.

1103
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 4: And that's what you're asking your defense to do. Hey

1104
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 4: a sudden change situation. So West Charlotte gives up the

1105
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 4: ball on offense and immediately a bang three and out

1106
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 4: get the ball right back and it kind of null

1107
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 4: avoids that turnover so big hold there by the West

1108
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 4: Charlotte defense and their defensive coordinator, Robert Williams, who's also

1109
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 4: the associate head coaches, giving a lot of high fives

1110
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 4: on that sideline, said hey, look that's what we needed

1111
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 4: you to do. Let's get the ball back to our offense.

1112
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 4: Sudden change, no points and now the offense gets to

1113
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 4: take over and and that's a big play in this game.

1114
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 4: We'll come back to that moment if West Charlotte makes

1115
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 4: a run here at the end of the first half

1116
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 4: and go.

1117
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 5: That was a turning point in the second quarter.

1118
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:58,919
Speaker 3: Chris Coleman the offensive coordinator at West Charlotte. We'll see

1119
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 3: what he's got in store now for the Grimsley defense.

1120
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 3: Chris Coleman is a Crest High School in lumb just

1121
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 3: west of here out in Cleveland County, played at in

1122
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 3: c State And fun fact, Chris Coleman is the only

1123
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 3: player in NFL history to block two punts in a

1124
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 3: playoff game. Did it for the Tennessee Titans against the

1125
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:18,240
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens.

1126
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 5: How about that and they still lost?

1127
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 4: They still lost the game, which every special team's coach

1128
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 4: in America, whether you are a high school college of the NFL,

1129
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 4: said hey, you block a punt, you win the game.

1130
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 4: Eighty five ninety percent of the time. They did too.

1131
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 4: They should have won one hundred and eighty percent of

1132
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 4: those games and they were over So, uh yeah, that

1133
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 4: was in the If I remember correctly, and I'm kind

1134
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 4: of going off the top of my head here, I

1135
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,240
Speaker 4: think that was in the Baltimore Ravens defense of heyday.

1136
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 4: The Titans may not have even scored even though they've

1137
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 4: blocked two punts, So Ray Lewis probably had something to

1138
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 4: say about that. Feels like a completely different era of football. Sit,

1139
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 4: doesn't it?

1140
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 5: Absolutely it does.

1141
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 3: Jamuri Nichols Amory McClain in the backfield hre Keem Finch

1142
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 3: in motion for while receivers three to the far side.

1143
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 3: Nichols fakes the handoff, standing in the pocket surveying, has

1144
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 3: time now, decide to tucket and run, shimmy's and shakes

1145
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 3: at the ten yard line and battles his way out

1146
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 3: to the sixteen. That'll be a pickup of four for

1147
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 3: Jamori Nichols.

1148
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 4: Really good coverage everybody Grimsley landon Gilmore was trying to

1149
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 4: come open all the way across the field and just

1150
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 4: happened that on that play they dropped eight and coverage

1151
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 4: all over the field. So nice job by Nichols turning

1152
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 4: in there was nobody open. Would have ended up being

1153
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 4: a coverage sack. Runs for four or five and sets

1154
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 4: up second and manageable though given five on the run.

1155
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 3: So it's second down and five from the seventeen yard line.

1156
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 4: Here's the give to McLean.

1157
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 3: McLean hard running out across the twenty yard line, right

1158
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 3: at the sticks the twenty two. I believe that will

1159
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 3: be a West Charlotte first down. The Lions needed five

1160
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 3: and Emory McClain went out and got it for them.

1161
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 4: Lost another helmet as well.

1162
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 5: That's what we're up to. Nine.

1163
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 3: I don't know what's gont want to be a broke record,

1164
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 3: but I would love to. I've never seen this many

1165
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 3: helmets come off in a football.

1166
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 4: Game, and one of the questions always is, well, okay,

1167
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 4: why are you guys bringing this up? Like these guys

1168
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 4: have to come out for at least one play until

1169
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 4: it gets fixed. They can't go back in. You're losing

1170
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 4: guys for equipment problems. And when when it's your best

1171
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 4: player like Mitt Michael Griffin at linebacker on defense.

1172
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 5: That's a huge issue.

1173
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 3: First down and ten from the West Charlotte twenty two

1174
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 3: Nickel Servang has time. It likes to run it himself

1175
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 3: and run out of bounds at the twenty two yard line.

1176
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 3: Let's pause ten seconds for station identification.

1177
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 2: You're listening johns Yawn c FM, Harrisburg he w l

1178
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:44,959
Speaker 2: n ahd Lee Charlotte loan that Charlotte's choice.

1179
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 3: Back here at Bank of America Stadium to keep pounding.

1180
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 3: High School Classic Game number two, fourteen to seven. Grimsley

1181
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 3: Worthies out of Greensboro leading the West Charlotte Lions with

1182
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 3: four point fifty left to play here in the second quarter.

1183
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 3: It's been action packed, a lot of hard hitting, plenty

1184
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 3: of offense too, and West Charlotte looking for a game

1185
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 3: tying drive here if they can find one. Nichols quick

1186
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 3: hitter over the middle caught by Dante Nicholson. Nicholson across

1187
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 3: the thirty five out to the thirty seven and a

1188
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 3: first down to pick up of fifteen yards.

1189
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 4: When we talked to Sam Grinder and he said Nichols

1190
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 4: has got elite ball handling skills, and this is great example.

1191
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 4: It's a really quick play action and then almost like

1192
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 4: a short stop making an inside turn at second base.

1193
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 4: It's sort of a wrong foot throw and hits a

1194
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 4: quick slant there to Nicholson. As we get a run

1195
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 4: here from West Charlotte and Emery McLain.

1196
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 3: Not much doing for McClain there on first down. Worth

1197
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 3: noting here, Dante Nicholson to Charlotte forty nine ers commit

1198
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 3: already up to seventy two yards receiving in this game,

1199
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 3: has a seven yard touchdown catch, a forty five yarder

1200
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 3: to set up that touchdown reception, but seventy two yards total,

1201
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 3: averaging eighteen yards a catch so far here this evening.

1202
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 4: And Nichols has certainly been very comfortable throwing the ball

1203
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 4: to Nicholson. It's kind of been his first rate on

1204
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 4: most of his throws tonight.

1205
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 5: Clearly have made quite the connection.

1206
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 3: Second down and nine, little play action from Nichols, who's

1207
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 3: going across the middle, complete out to midfield across the

1208
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 3: fifty yard line, catch made by King Kobel the third

1209
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 3: who stands up and gives a triumphant first down side.

1210
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 5: Another good throw.

1211
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 4: These are all coming off a play action fakes, and

1212
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 4: what those are designed to do is bring the linebacker

1213
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 4: in and then King Kobel kind of comes in behind

1214
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 4: the linebackers who have been pressed up reading run. Then

1215
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 4: you're able to throw in behind with a little bit

1216
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 4: more space and a nice throwing catch there for a

1217
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 4: first down.

1218
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 5: Those business.

1219
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 3: Twelve yard completion from Nichols to Cobyl first down and

1220
01:00:55,520 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 3: ten at the fifty yard line, orre Keem Finch goes

1221
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 3: from the slot back into.

1222
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 4: Motion across the formation.

1223
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 3: Nichols has to get rid of it quickly and does

1224
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 3: catch made by Landon Gilmore cutting inside, picks up about

1225
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 3: four yards on first down.

1226
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 4: Think you almost lost that ball, Patrick Carter, the senior

1227
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 4: kind of there they call the star linebacker, the star

1228
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 4: being a position. Knock that ball out and it almost

1229
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 4: came out for a second fumble around midfield, but Landon

1230
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 4: Gilmore was able to hang on to as he was

1231
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 4: going down really close.

1232
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 3: By my counts, Jimuri Nichols a perfect seven for seven

1233
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 3: to start this game passing.

1234
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 4: Did you just do the announcers curse possibly at.

1235
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 3: Nichols though not risking it there on second down handoff,

1236
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 3: it's a number twenty three just sear Gray and he's

1237
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 3: upended for a loss of two yards.

1238
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 4: I've been really impressed just kind of with you know,

1239
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 4: Coach Grinder talked about the ball handling skills of Nickels.

1240
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 4: When you can have a quarterback that can throw from

1241
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 4: multiple arm angles, off the left foot, off the right foot,

1242
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 4: you've got some variability. It really creates opportunities to deceive

1243
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,959
Speaker 4: the defense, more specifically the linebackers. Where is the ball?

1244
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 4: We've seen it on some of these quick slants and screens.

1245
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 3: Third down and nine from the forty nine of Grimsley

1246
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 3: West Charlotte looking to keep the drive alive, but a

1247
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 3: whistle and a timeout taken by head coach Darryl Brown

1248
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 3: on the Grimsley sideline. It's a big play right here.

1249
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 3: Of course, you want to avoid giving up a third

1250
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 3: down and long conversion. But with one minute, thirty one

1251
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 3: seconds left to play and Grimsley still having one more

1252
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 3: time out, if you're Darryl Brown, you want a game

1253
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 3: plan in here because you'd love to get the ball

1254
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 3: back up a touchdown with the opportunity to possibly go

1255
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 3: into the locker room with a two touchdown lead.

1256
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're in two down territory or four down territory.

1257
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 4: If you're West Charlotte here you're round midfield nine. But

1258
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 4: if you're Grimsley, if you can get a stop here,

1259
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 4: make this fourth and nine, maybe a sack incompletion, whatever,

1260
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 4: you're gonna get the ball back with plenty of time

1261
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 4: to get down the field if you want to. So

1262
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 4: West Charlotte's gotta be very careful here, even if they

1263
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 4: get four or five six yards. If I'm West Charlotte,

1264
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 4: I'm letting this clock run down because West Charlotte is

1265
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,439
Speaker 4: not gonna have any time problems scoring with the time

1266
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 4: and timeout they have remaining.

1267
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 5: Grimsley could.

1268
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 4: So it'll be interesting with each team having one time

1269
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 4: out left. If there's anything kind of short of the

1270
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 4: sticks here, how do these two teams manage the timeout situation.

1271
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety two to seven wfn Z proud to

1272
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 3: bring you to keep pounding classic here this evening, the

1273
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 3: ultimate Friday Night Lights experience here in Uptown Charlotte.

1274
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 4: We appreciate you being with us.

1275
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 3: Third and nine, Nichols takes the snap hit from behind,

1276
01:03:56,680 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 3: ball's loose, Grimsly's on it, and the second fumble turnover

1277
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 3: of the quarter for the West Charlotte offense in that time.

1278
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 3: Jamuriy Nichols never saw the defender coming from his blind side.

1279
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 5: And Jayden Warlock he just wins.

1280
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 4: It's a one on one matchup with Ian Smith the

1281
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 4: left guard and swipes the hands comes around and then

1282
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 4: as you're going for a sack, if you're a defensive lineman,

1283
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 4: you're always looking for the pocket, that area above the

1284
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 4: right shoulder for a right handed quarterback where the throw

1285
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 4: is initiating from.

1286
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 5: And he swipes down right through the pocket, strips the ball.

1287
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 4: Very clear fumble, no doubt in my mind that his

1288
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 4: arm wasn't even close to coming forward.

1289
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 5: And Grimsly's got everything they want.

1290
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 4: That's the second turnover round midfield. They got a timeout

1291
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:44,919
Speaker 4: and a minute twenty two left in the first half.

1292
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 3: Nightmare scenario for the West Charlotte Lions here trailing by

1293
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 3: a touchdown. It's fourteen to seven Grimsley and with one

1294
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 3: minute twenty two seconds to go, the Worlies have the

1295
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 3: football back on the fifty yard line and it's a

1296
01:04:55,880 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 3: handoff on first down going nowhere goes to two. Micah Williams,

1297
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 3: who has had a tough time finding running lanes here

1298
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 3: in the first half.

1299
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:05,919
Speaker 5: I don't really like that play call.

1300
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 4: You got the number one player in the country and

1301
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 4: you're handing the ball off with a minute left in

1302
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 4: one timeout. Feels like there's not enough urgency, almost as

1303
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 4: if Grimsley is very content going in because they're not even.

1304
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 5: In a hurry up. They're running their normal offense. Right now,

1305
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 5: clock rolls.

1306
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 3: Fifty two seconds left Faison Brandon, flushed out of the pocket,

1307
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 3: gets across midfield, tackled at the forty eight. He's into

1308
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 3: plus territory, but the clock keeps rolling now down to

1309
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 3: forty seconds, third down and eight and coming up from

1310
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 3: the forty eight yard line. You watch the replay there phasing.

1311
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 3: Brandon had hoped, I'm sure, for more time to set

1312
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 3: his feet and make a play down field, but it

1313
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 3: disintegrated and they're just letting time melt off. The clock.

1314
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 3: Here now twenty five seconds on the game clock. Three

1315
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 3: wide receivers, two to the top of the formation, running

1316
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 3: right to left. Brandon tucks runs, tries to escape a

1317
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 3: defender does picks up the first down inside the forty

1318
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,520
Speaker 3: down to the thirty seven yard line, and the clock

1319
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 3: it's still running.

1320
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 5: YEP.

1321
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 3: I don't think Zeryl Brown is any concern about taking

1322
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 3: this thing into the locker room. Up fourteen to seven,

1323
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 3: and now finally Phase and Brandon clocks to football.

1324
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just not good time management.

1325
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 4: So the clock briefly stops when they're resetting the chains,

1326
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 4: but they got those things reset really fast. I think

1327
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 4: coach Brown thought they were gonna be able to get

1328
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 4: on the ball and spike it with about twelve seconds.

1329
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 4: It ended up getting to three. So they're not even

1330
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 4: gonna get to use their time out here. We'll get

1331
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 4: one play, likely a heave to the end zone. We've

1332
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 4: got let's see, we got Hudson Cooper on the top.

1333
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 4: There's sort of a three man set. I'm imagining it's

1334
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 4: going to go to the right side of this offensive formation.

1335
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 3: A lot of wasted time here at the end of

1336
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 3: the first half, but three seconds left and Phase and

1337
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 3: Brandon will do exactly that. Heaves it down the near side,

1338
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 3: nowhere close to the end zone looking for Alex Cooper

1339
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 3: sails out of bounds, and the clock hits trip zero

1340
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 3: into the first half, fourteen to seven, Grimsley with a

1341
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 3: touchdown advantage. They've scored a couple of touchdowns forced a

1342
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 3: couple of turnovers.

1343
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 4: If you're West Charlotte, though.

1344
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you like some of the things that you've

1345
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 3: done out here in the first half JJ, but you

1346
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 3: also feel very fortunate you're not down by more than

1347
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 3: a touchdown.

1348
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 4: This should have been a lot worse. Two turnovers around

1349
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 4: midfield and Grimsley just didn't do anything with them. So

1350
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 4: if I'm Sam Grinder, I'm going into the halftime speech

1351
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 4: and going, hey, look, guys, as good as the one

1352
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 4: drive was on offense, we've got to tighten it up.

1353
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 5: We've got to protect the football.

1354
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 4: But it went about otherwise about as bad as it

1355
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 4: could have, at least offensively, and we're now one score

1356
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 4: so not a big deal and they're going to get

1357
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 4: the opening kickoff here to start the second half.

1358
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 3: We'll talk more about it when we come back the

1359
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 3: Victory Chevrolet Halftime Show just around the corner. We'll take

1360
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 3: a look at first half stats, give you second half

1361
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 3: thoughts and more. Right here, the Keep Pounding High School

1362
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 3: Classic twenty twenty five edition. Grimsley Worthlies lead the West

1363
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 3: Charlotte Lions fourteen to seven at break. This is Sports

1364
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 3: Radio ninety two to seven WF and Z you're.

1365
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 2: Listening to the twenty twenty five Keep Pounding High School Classic.

1366
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 2: It's kind of the ufn Z halftime Show driven by

1367
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 2: Victory Chevrolet.

1368
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 1: Now back to the booth, Aaron, your hosts, Kyle Daily

1369
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:18,520
Speaker 1: and JJ Jamson.

1370
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 3: Half time here at Bank of America Stadium, Game two

1371
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,719
Speaker 3: of the Keep Pounding High School Classic presented by Belch

1372
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 3: and the score fourteen to seven. The Grimsley Whirlies. They

1373
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 3: had a very good first half, couple of touchdowns, couple

1374
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 3: of turnovers forced, but still only up by seven. The

1375
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 3: West Charlotte Lions. They moved to football, they made some

1376
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 3: plays defensively, they were stout out there, Jj, but we

1377
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 3: have a touchdown. Game could have gone a lot of

1378
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 3: different directions, but the second half sets up for a

1379
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:49,120
Speaker 3: lot of fun action.

1380
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 5: I think if you're West Charlotte you feel pretty good.

1381
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 4: But coach Grinder is in the locker room saying right now, hey,

1382
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 4: two turnovers, we can't have that, and three costly penalties

1383
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:00,919
Speaker 4: in the red zone on the second scoring drive from Grimsley.

1384
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,799
Speaker 5: So sometimes when those plays happen, you as a coach.

1385
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 4: You are frustrated, but you're saying, hey, we've shot ourselves

1386
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 4: in the foot a few times here, and look where

1387
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 4: we're only on we're down, we're down one score. We're

1388
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 4: going to get the ball to start the second half

1389
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 4: where we're in really, really good shape. As far as

1390
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 4: Grimsley goes, I didn't like the way that they handled

1391
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 4: the minute thirty left in the in the second quarter.

1392
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 4: I thought they could be more aggressive, maybe get into

1393
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 4: field goal range. I didn't love how they handled it,

1394
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:26,280
Speaker 4: but that was really about the only thing that went

1395
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 4: wrong for them. A couple of nice scoring drives, getting

1396
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 4: the ball to the brothers Cooper, Alex and Hudson, a

1397
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 4: nice screen and for a fifty three yard touchdown. And look,

1398
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 4: they got twenty three plays in two drives there early

1399
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 4: and it felt like they had an opportunity to kind

1400
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 4: of lean on them. But West Charlotte didn't break in

1401
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 4: a couple of big three and outs after the turnovers,

1402
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 4: and so we got ourselves a really nice football game

1403
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 4: and setting up to be an awesome second half, no

1404
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 4: doubt about it.

1405
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 3: We'll get the official stats from our friends over in

1406
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 3: the press box momentarily, but by my count, Faison branded

1407
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 3: the number one quarterback prospect in the country and a

1408
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 3: Tennessee commit with one hundred and two total yards of

1409
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 3: offense there in the first half, including that fifty three

1410
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 3: yard touchdown pass two to Hudson Cooper, but one two

1411
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 3: total offense some plays left out there to five of

1412
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 3: eight passing. I mean, I'm sure that he'd want a

1413
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 3: couple of those back, but overall, he's got to be

1414
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 3: happy with the way he played.

1415
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, the one big place just like a wide receiver screen.

1416
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 4: All it really is is a run play to Cooper

1417
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 4: and the three offensive lineman come out and handle their block.

1418
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 4: So he's been relatively quiet, has Faison Brandon, And you wonder, hey,

1419
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 4: second half now coming up, do they let it air

1420
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 4: out a little bit more. The defense for West Charlotte

1421
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 4: has been really, really good. They've been able to cover

1422
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 4: the guys deep and at the end of that two

1423
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 4: minute drive, Brandon was looking deep a couple of times,

1424
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 4: once to Kayan Battle, once to Alex Cooper, another time

1425
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 4: to Hudson Cooper, and those guys weren't there.

1426
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:53,839
Speaker 5: So give credit to West Charlotte.

1427
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 4: They've done a really nice job in the back end

1428
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 4: Xavior Porter since here day, Davian Jones, they've done a

1429
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 4: really nice job controlling the game. They can do that

1430
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 4: in the second half. They got a really good chance

1431
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:05,600
Speaker 4: to go home victorious. They sure do.

1432
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 3: Let's take a quick look at the score sheet here

1433
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 3: we also, I should start here. We have a phazing

1434
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 3: Brandon officially five of nine passing for eighty two yards,

1435
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 3: so I had the yardage right there. Michael Williams the

1436
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 3: other touchdown for Grimsley there in the first half, had

1437
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 3: a one yard rushing touchdown, but only three yards rushing

1438
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 3: in the first half, three yards rushing in a touchdown

1439
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 3: for him. On the other side, Jamuriy Nichols for the

1440
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 3: West Charlotte Lyons six of seven passing fifty seven yards

1441
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 3: and a touchdown of his own, that one to Dante Nicholson.

1442
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 3: Nicholson had himself a heck of a first half out there,

1443
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 3: had the big forty five yarders who set them up

1444
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:44,639
Speaker 3: first down and goal caught the seven yard touchdown pass

1445
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 3: as well. On the rushing front, they had Jair Gray

1446
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 3: with twelve yards, Emory McLain with twelve yards each with

1447
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 3: four carries. Jamury Nichols also four carries and negative two

1448
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 3: yards there in the first half.

1449
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jamury Nichols, I thought he did a nice shot,

1450
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 4: but trolling the offense. Short of the two turnovers, there

1451
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 4: were some good drives in there, and we talked about

1452
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 4: this in the lead up. He's got really good ball

1453
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 4: handling skills. Coach Grinder's coming from a wing t kind

1454
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 4: of a deception offense where there's a lot of traps

1455
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 4: and counters and pullers, and if you can have a

1456
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,679
Speaker 4: quarterback in the back end that can handle the ball,

1457
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 4: there's a few good plays there. But there hasn't been

1458
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 4: a lot of room inside the tackle box, and both defenses,

1459
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 4: especially the front four on both sides of have shut

1460
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 4: down all the inside running right now, and so now

1461
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 4: it's probably time in the second half to let these

1462
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 4: quarterbacks kind of take off and really kind of show

1463
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 4: what they've got because I think most of the space

1464
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:40,759
Speaker 4: and the second half is going to be on the outside.

1465
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely, let's take it. Let's give the defenders a little

1466
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 3: love here as well. On the West Charlotte side, Michael

1467
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:50,679
Speaker 3: Griffin has ten tackles in the first half, seven solo,

1468
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 3: three assisted, with ten total tackles. I believe his helmets

1469
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 3: come off nearly that many times as well. But as

1470
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 3: we mentioned, Sam Grinder told us a couple of days ago.

1471
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 3: This is the best linebacker I've ever seen in my life.

1472
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 3: His speed is incredible. He has offers from Notre Dame,

1473
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 3: Florida State, so many others, but ten first half tackles

1474
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 3: from Michael Griffin speaks for itself.

1475
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:11,560
Speaker 5: I'd personally encourage.

1476
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 4: Him to go to Notre Dame immediately, So I got

1477
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 4: no problem with That's all all makes it. If he

1478
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 4: ends up with twenty tackles, I think he kind of

1479
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 4: becomes the Whataburger player of the game, especially if they win.

1480
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 5: I may go down to present it and try to

1481
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:23,799
Speaker 5: get him a Notre.

1482
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 4: Dame letter of commitment right there on the field, so

1483
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 4: that'd be good for the broadcast. But he's played really well.

1484
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 4: And again West Charlotte Lyons have played well. Grimsley's moved

1485
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,679
Speaker 4: the ball, but it hasn't been explosive, and I think

1486
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 4: that serves West Charlotte well here in the second half.

1487
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 4: Sure does.

1488
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 3: And since JJ mentioned it the What a Burger player

1489
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 3: of the game, it's a real thing. Fans the Carolina

1490
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 3: Panthers are excited to welcome Whataburger as a partner in

1491
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 3: tonight's game. JJ and I will be selecting the What

1492
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,440
Speaker 3: a Burger Player of the Game, who will be recognized

1493
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 3: on the field at the conclusion of tonight's game. In

1494
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 3: addition to receiving the Whataburger Player of the Game trophy,

1495
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 3: win will receive free Whataburger for a year. That's an

1496
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 3: awesome deal if you ask both of us and shout

1497
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:08,720
Speaker 3: out to Ethan Royal Huff Husky's quarterback, who received that

1498
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,679
Speaker 3: honor in the after the first game here today.

1499
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 4: I watched his reaction. He really liked the trophy. He

1500
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 4: loved the Whataburger. Yeah, if you're a high school kid,

1501
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 4: you're going to college like fast food. Free fast food.

1502
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 4: He will have so many I'm sure as a starting

1503
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 4: quarterback int Huff High School.

1504
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 5: I'm sure he's got plenty of friends.

1505
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 4: But you will have a lot more friends when you

1506
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 4: can take your buddies to Waterburger get whatever they want.

1507
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:37,600
Speaker 4: And I'm sure he'll be making new friends along the

1508
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 4: way as he pulls up.

1509
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 5: There you go. Awesome, all right?

1510
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,759
Speaker 3: We got marching bands on the field here at halftime,

1511
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 3: just a couple of minutes remaining. We're still waiting on

1512
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 3: each team to retake the field and get warmed up

1513
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:49,719
Speaker 3: for the second half. Though I look down there right now.

1514
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:53,800
Speaker 3: West Charlotte quarterback Jamory Nichols the first one out on

1515
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 3: the West Charlotte side while the band plays. He's down

1516

1530
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 3: a touchdown advantage for them, but the West Charlotte Lyons

1531

Speaker 3: Again, we got about a minute left to go before

1553
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 3: second half kickoff, and this one should be just as

1554
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 3: good in the second half as it was in the

1555
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 3: first half.

1556
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:56,719
Speaker 4: These two teams came out swinging a JJ.

1557
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:58,639
Speaker 3: I think you were right in the first game here

1558
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 3: in this doubleheader, it kind of felt like Huff and

1559
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 3: South Point they were the first action of the season.

1560
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 3: A lot of feeling each other out, but these two

1561
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 3: teams had the opportunity to kind of take it in

1562
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 3: and there was no you know, himing and hauling. They

1563
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 3: came out ready to hit, ready to play, ready to

1564
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 3: fight at the very beginning of this game.

1565
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:18,880
Speaker 4: This game's been fast, it's been physical. The offenses feel

1566
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 4: like they're comfortable. I always think the defense is ahead

1567
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 4: of the offense early in the year because they're reacting,

1568
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 4: the offense is trying to be coordinated.

1569
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 5: Everything's looked really good.

1570
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 4: You know, the two biggest plays in the first half,

1571
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 4: each team had a wide receiver screen that hit perfectly,

1572
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 4: so the timing and spacing really worked out. These guys

1573
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 4: have done a really, really nice job handling this environment,

1574
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 4: in this atmosphere. And as the second half sets up,

1575
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be the quarterbacks. Now everyone's kind

1576
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 4: of gotten all their plays in. Now we kind of

1577
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 4: know how how the game's gonna go, and now we're

1578
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 4: sort of expecting Brandon and Nicols to you know, take

1579
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 4: over the show here and whichever quarterback plays the best

1580
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 4: in the second second half is gonna win this game

1581
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 4: because these two teams are very evenly matched across the

1582
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:02,919
Speaker 4: rest of the rosters.

1583
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 3: Interestingly, on the West Charlotte side, as we mentioned, Katie

1584
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 3: Cotton did not suit up tonight, the Duke commit. We

1585
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 3: were looking forward to seeing him out there tonight. We

1586
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 3: won't be able to. He's not playing in this game

1587
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 3: for reasons that are still unclear to us. Maybe that

1588
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 3: becomes a parent after the game. We'll find out. Rakeem Finch,

1589
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 3: the Air Force commit, the tight end slash h back.

1590
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:24,600
Speaker 3: Thought maybe we'd see some more of him there in

1591
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 3: the first half given his versatility offensively, but I do

1592
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 3: wonder in the second half they look to get him

1593
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 3: involved just a little bit more.

1594
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Coach Grinder said, Hey, this is kind

1595
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 4: of a unique kid. He's an Air Force commit. He's

1596
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 4: he's really diligent, he's really versatile. They kind of play

1597
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 4: him at tight end, but he's he's sort of split out.

1598
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 4: He's an athlete on the field, he's an X factor.

1599
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 4: Like to see him get a little bit more involved. Nicholson,

1600
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 4: as we've talked about, has kind of been the number

1601
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 4: one target and and and look, Nichols can get the

1602
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:54,719
Speaker 4: ball to all parts of the field because his ball

1603
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 4: handling is so good. Landon Gilmore's got a bunch of

1604
01:18:57,800 --> 01:18:59,760
Speaker 4: the throws and we saw King Koble with one nice

1605
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 4: in the second quarter, So a lot of places to

1606
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 4: go with the football. But yeah, I'd like to see

1607
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 4: rakeem Finch get a few more touches here in the

1608
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 4: second half because he's a unique talent on the field

1609
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 4: his size and speed.

1610
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 3: The air Force commit, so Grimsley's offense will head back

1611
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 3: out onto the field, or rather they're kicking unit. Pardon me,

1612
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 3: Chase hill Mantle will tee up the football at the

1613
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 3: forty yard line to kick back to West Charlotte, but

1614
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 3: really quickly on the Grimsley side. Fase On Brandon, the

1615
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:33,839
Speaker 3: number one quarterback prospect in the country, committed to Tennessee

1616
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 3: back in August of last year.

1617
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:37,599
Speaker 4: His mother, ROLANDA.

1618
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:41,040
Speaker 3: Brandon, filed a lawsuit in Wake County Superior Court on

1619
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,720
Speaker 3: his behalf. You might recall there was an announcement the

1620
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 3: State of North Carolina said there will be no nil

1621
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 3: deals for public school athletes in the state of North Carolina. Well,

1622
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 3: the branded family challenged that in court ultimately won and

1623
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 3: now faise On Brandon has an NIL deal reportedly north

1624
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:01,599
Speaker 3: of a million dollars, so I'm say one point two million,

1625
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,720
Speaker 3: but not only a top quarterback prospect, but a trailblazer

1626
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:08,400
Speaker 3: now in the state of North Carolina. Filing that suit

1627
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:12,639
Speaker 3: challenging the State of North Carolina and Awake County. Judge

1628
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 3: ruled in favor of Brandon, enabling public high school athletes

1629
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 3: in North Carolina to begin monetizing their NIL rights effective

1630
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,639
Speaker 3: as early as this school year in twenty twenty five

1631
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:26,800
Speaker 3: twenty six. Now West Charlotte will take the field for

1632
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 3: the first time here in the second half. We check

1633
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 3: the numbers again there during the break. Officially Jamuri Nichols

1634
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 3: seven of eight passing in the first half for one

1635
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 3: hundred yards and a touchdown to Dante Nicholson, who leads

1636
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 3: all receivers with four catches seventy four yards. On the

1637
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 3: evening first and ten for West Charlotte, moving right to

1638
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 3: left balls on their own thirty five yard line, It's

1639
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 3: a handoff on first down to just see her gray

1640
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 3: and gray with a nice pickup on first down and

1641
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 3: another lost helmet.

1642
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 4: Number fifty nine.

1643
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 3: A team rose the tackle, loses his bonnet and will

1644
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:03,719
Speaker 3: have to step off the field for a play.

1645
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 4: I didn't know if it was fifty nine the player

1646
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,840
Speaker 4: or a fifty ninth helmet that's been off today, because

1647
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 4: we had that a little bit in the first game.

1648
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 4: West shot it off to a good start there, and

1649
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 4: I like that. That's an outside run. I think that's

1650
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 4: where the space is here.

1651
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 3: And jamury Nichols quickly on second down, this time going

1652
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,720
Speaker 3: far side to the top of the formation, flicks it

1653
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 3: out to the flat call it. Catch is made, pardon me,

1654
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:32,759
Speaker 3: and a first down for the Lions, number three land

1655
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 3: in Gilmour making the catch.

1656
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 4: Nice job, good pursuit there from the inside, number twelve

1657
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 4: Andrew Rogers coming in to kind of clean up the

1658
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 4: tackle there on the outside.

1659
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 5: And good start here. Two plays in our first down

1660
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:47,719
Speaker 5: for West.

1661
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 3: Charlotte, seven yard pickup for Gilmore from Jamury Nichols. Second

1662
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 3: catch of the night for Gilmore first and ten from

1663
01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 3: the forty five.

1664
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 4: Nickel with a pitch.

1665
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 3: Back to Gilmour his second consecutive touch, but he is

1666
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 3: cut down back at the forty yard line.

1667
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 4: That's kind of one of the flaws of the wing

1668
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 4: t offense. We get a little orbit motion behind the quarterback,

1669
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 4: and so when Landon Gilmore gets the ball, he's nine

1670
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 4: yards behind the line of scrimmage and just great pursuit

1671
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 4: angles Number twenty Ramiir Harris Dupre kind of finishes the

1672
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,719
Speaker 4: tackle off, but not a lot of downfield pursuit there

1673
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 4: from West Charlotte and a big loss there on first down,

1674
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 4: setting up a second and long from their own.

1675
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 3: Forty one loss of five second down in fifteen. Here's

1676
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 3: nickel shotgun snap rolling right, has some options, drops it

1677
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 3: off underneath positive yardage for the Lions offense right there.

1678
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 3: Catch made by number eight Rakeem Finch, So there's a

1679
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 3: there's a look there at Finch there getting a little again.

1680
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 4: This is sort of a combination. It's kind of a

1681
01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 4: levels route. You got guys on the in the shallow,

1682
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 4: oh mid and deep. Grimsley backs off in a second

1683
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 4: and long situation, not gonna give up anything deep and

1684
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 4: Finch was kind of open for an eight yard game,

1685
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 4: setting up a third manage well and again another four

1686
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 4: down territory around midfield here for West Charlotte.

1687
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 3: Third and seven from the forty nine West Charlotte looking

1688
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 3: to cross midfield and again Nichols gets rid of it quickly,

1689
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 3: this time out to number fourteen Davon Jones on the

1690
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 3: far sideline, and he is pushed out of bounds at

1691
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:31,519
Speaker 3: the forty six. Like that play call just get yourself

1692
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 3: into fourth and short there, so quick throw.

1693
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 4: He didn't even have the laces as he caught it.

1694
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 4: Ball comes out quickly in Davian Jones runs out six yard, stops,

1695
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:45,600
Speaker 4: turns around, setting up a fourth and short, and.

1696
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 3: It's a handoff on fourth downed two. This one's gonna

1697
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 3: be close. Grimsley thinks they made the stop if the

1698
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 3: far side judges any indication, though it looks like West

1699
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 3: Charlotte got the first down, although he's inched back more

1700
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:00,080
Speaker 3: toward the forty five yard lines, so.

1701
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 4: I don't want to speak too soon here. It's kind

1702
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 4: of a cool play there. It was almost like a

1703
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 4: wildcat formation. Nichols looked like the quarterback, and when the

1704
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 4: ball was snapped, Emery McLain jumped in front. I don't

1705
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 4: know if what the deception is there, but it becomes

1706
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 4: like a wildcat play and then Nichol sticks the ball

1707
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 4: across the line and the far side line judge gave

1708
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:21,760
Speaker 4: him the advancement. I don't actually when he pulls that

1709
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 4: ball back, I don't think he gets to keep his

1710
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:26,599
Speaker 4: forward progress. But it fooled the judge on the top

1711
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 4: side of the screen.

1712
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 3: First and ten from the forty four West Charlotte, now

1713
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 3: in enemy territory. It's a first down handoff right up

1714
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 3: the middle and a gain of two.

1715
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 4: Looked like Emory McLain with another carry right there.

1716
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 3: Indeed it was, and the one two tandem of Emery

1717
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 3: McClain and just see her Gray. They've been busy tonight.

1718
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:59,759
Speaker 3: Out of the West Charlotte backfield. Someone lost his shoe.

1719
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:04,760
Speaker 3: Second down and eight Nichols quick hit or flips it

1720
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:06,760
Speaker 3: out to the far side catch made by number two

1721
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 3: Dante Nicholson. Nicholson dragged down at the forty yard line

1722
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 3: after a gain of two more.

1723
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 4: I'm still trying to figure out there a shoe was

1724
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 4: thrown off on the sideline one of the other there

1725
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 4: it is, okay, I found him. Cheese played that whole

1726
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 4: play without a shoe. He chucked it out to the

1727
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 4: white hat who then threw it across the field, and

1728
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,759
Speaker 4: there was an equipment manager on the field during that play.

1729
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 4: Cheese didn't want to come out of the We got

1730
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 4: guys that have to come out because of helmets and

1731
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 4: cheese without a shoe. Played that entire last run play,

1732
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 4: all right? How about that eight.

1733
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:42,719
Speaker 3: Forty six left to go here in the third quarter,

1734
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:45,479
Speaker 3: fourteen to seven, Grimsley with the lead, but West Charlotte

1735
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 3: driving third and six from the forty Nickels stretching it out,

1736
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,720
Speaker 3: dumps it off to Rakeem. Finch makes the catch at

1737
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:54,840
Speaker 3: the thirty three yard line. That's good for a West

1738
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 3: Charlotte first down.

1739
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:57,640
Speaker 4: Just to reverse with the last ball that went to

1740
01:25:57,680 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 4: Finch before it was going towards the Grimsly sidelines. The

1741
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 4: levels concept. Finch's got the low route about seven or

1742
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:08,000
Speaker 4: eight yards down the field, landing Gilmore has the medium

1743
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 4: round at fifteen yards, and it's just putting these defensive

1744
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 4: backs in high low situations. So far they've backed off Grimsley.

1745
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 4: At some point, you're hoping Grimsley bites on the underneath

1746
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 4: threat and you can find something over the.

1747
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,679
Speaker 3: Top for King Finch up to three catches here tonight,

1748
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 3: twenty six yards receiving first and ten from the thirty

1749
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 3: four near side hash It's a handoff up the middle

1750
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 3: that time it's just Seir Gray who gets nothing. Second

1751
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 3: down and ten on the way. Jamuri Nichols up to

1752
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:45,439
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty yards passing. He's eleven of twelve

1753
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:47,760
Speaker 3: on the night. A lot of short stuff here to

1754
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:51,719
Speaker 3: begin the second half, but still eleven of twelve passing.

1755
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 3: You'll take that as a head coach. Jamuriy Nichols twelve

1756
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 3: of thirteen in the state championship win.

1757
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 4: Last year, and they're not asking him to do a

1758
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 4: whole lot except spread the ball around, take good care

1759
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:03,840
Speaker 4: of the ball, be really good and decisive it. There's

1760
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 4: a lot We lost another helmet on an inside run there,

1761
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:09,719
Speaker 4: but there's a lot of ball handling in this wing

1762
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 4: te style offense.

1763
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:14,920
Speaker 5: So is it pull? Do I keep? Am I pulling it?

1764
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 4: Where's the throw going? And that's what they're asking their

1765
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 4: quarterback to do. They're not asking Nichols to drop back

1766
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:22,760
Speaker 4: and throw it fifty yards down the field. It's get

1767
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 4: the ball to different parts of the field quickly to

1768
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 4: let the playmakers make a play.

1769
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:28,639
Speaker 5: Setting up this third and four.

1770
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:31,599
Speaker 3: Emory McLain the latest footballer to lose a helmet. He's

1771
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:33,840
Speaker 3: off for a play, just Seer Gray back on play

1772
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:37,640
Speaker 3: action to Gray and Nichols whips one to the near sideline.

1773
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 3: Number two Dante Nicholson has to go up and get it.

1774
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:42,680
Speaker 3: I believe they've deemed him in complete though feet out

1775
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 3: of bounds.

1776
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:47,240
Speaker 4: Oh, actually they're calling it complete. I take that back.

1777
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:48,719
Speaker 4: Those give five yard line.

1778
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:49,240
Speaker 5: They'll give it to him.

1779
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:51,360
Speaker 4: So fourth and fourth and short, and that feels like

1780
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,800
Speaker 4: that route doesn't make sense for that situation. So it's

1781
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 4: third and fourth's It's basically a one yard what we

1782
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:00,080
Speaker 4: call like an Omaha route, a quick out.

1783
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:03,799
Speaker 3: Two yard completion, fourth down and two from the twenty

1784
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 3: five West Charlotte trailing by a touchdown, trying to keep

1785
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:09,800
Speaker 3: the drive alive, knocking on the door, but a time

1786
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 3: out called by Sam Grinder. Grinder did not like what

1787
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 3: he saw out there, and with seven to twenty five

1788
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:19,679
Speaker 3: left to go here in the third quarter, he burns

1789
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:22,800
Speaker 3: a time out, still two left in his pocket here

1790
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 3: the rest of the way. Kyle Bailey JJ Jansen to

1791
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:28,520
Speaker 3: keep pounding Classic on Sports Radio ninety two to seven WFNZ.

1792
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 3: We've been treated to a couple of very fun football

1793
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 3: games here today, huff holding on to beat South.

1794
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:35,800
Speaker 4: Point fourteen to ten.

1795
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 3: In the early game, a go ahead touchdown run by

1796
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 3: Ethan Royle, the Husky quarterback. He had two of those

1797
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 3: today and Huff picked up a big win. And here

1798
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:47,959
Speaker 3: tonight some fireworks early offensively, but I think both defenses

1799
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:48,960
Speaker 3: have settled into this game.

1800
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 4: The defenses have settled in and there Other than the

1801
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:55,639
Speaker 4: one screen pass that went to Hudson Cooper, there hasn't

1802
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 4: been a lot of big plays in today's game. It's

1803
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 4: been efficient offenses three and four yards, keeping the chains

1804
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 4: moving in a couple big fourth down conversions. The biggest

1805
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:07,599
Speaker 4: one of the game was in the second quarter grimsly

1806
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 4: converted on a defensive penalty the low crackback by the

1807
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 4: West Charlotte defense. These fourth down conversions in a game

1808
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:19,600
Speaker 4: where no one's really getting explosive plays, becomes more and

1809
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:21,840
Speaker 4: more important. But it puts a lot of pressure on

1810
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 4: your offense when you're constantly having to convert third and

1811
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 4: fourth downs. I think the team that's able to find

1812
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 4: one or two explosives from here on out, it's got

1813
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 4: a good chance to win. It's hard snapping the ball

1814
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 4: over and over and over again.

1815
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 5: No one you're only getting three or four yards to carry.

1816
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:40,880
Speaker 3: So Sam Grinder's offense coming out of the time out

1817
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:43,599
Speaker 3: here and I did ask you during halftime, but they

1818
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:46,480
Speaker 3: find a way to get Rakeem Finch more involved offensively.

1819
01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 3: He already has two catches on this drive.

1820
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:52,600
Speaker 4: Some of the coaching staff clearly listening to our broadcast,

1821
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:53,519
Speaker 4: and we appreciate it.

1822
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:56,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, fifteen yards receiving on this drive.

1823
01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 4: Might they look for more?

1824
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 3: Just here Gray in motion direct snap to Imray McClain

1825
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 3: and mcclan driving across the twenty yard line down to

1826
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 3: the seventeen first down West Charlotte, and I feel bad

1827
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:13,840
Speaker 3: even saying it again. Two more helmets have been lost.

1828
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 5: Very very cool play here.

1829
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 4: So what you end up getting is almost what looks

1830
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:22,840
Speaker 4: like a speed option, but it's actually snapped and caught

1831
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 4: by the running back going in the other direction. So

1832
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 4: as we talked to the same grind and goes hey,

1833
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 4: I like to deal in misdirection. And that was a

1834
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:33,400
Speaker 4: really big play And why they use the timeout going

1835
01:30:33,439 --> 01:30:34,760
Speaker 4: into that fourth down play.

1836
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,240
Speaker 3: West Charlotte up to fifty nine yards rushing. Now here's

1837
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:40,080
Speaker 3: a screen pass. Paul comes loose at the end of

1838
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:43,720
Speaker 3: the play that's being deemed to fumble and Grimsly is

1839
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:48,920
Speaker 3: on it. That's the third turnover of the night for

1840
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 3: the West Charlotte offense, and what seemed to be a

1841
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:59,000
Speaker 3: promising drive ends again in disaster for dub c.

1842
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,960
Speaker 4: Cassi Barnes recovered it and then get a good angle.

1843
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:07,280
Speaker 4: It looks like it's out. But even though we're in

1844
01:31:07,320 --> 01:31:10,400
Speaker 4: an NFL stadium, we are not gonna get the automatic replay.

1845
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:13,439
Speaker 5: Wow, I think he's down.

1846
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:15,800
Speaker 4: Rakeem Finch, I believe. I think you're right about that.

1847
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 3: If you watch the replay again, I absolutely believe he

1848
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 3: was down and I mentioned him a second ago. Would

1849
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 3: they look to get Rakeem Finch more involved?

1850
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 4: They have?

1851
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:29,880
Speaker 3: They did again, but after a catch there, it looked

1852
01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:31,880
Speaker 3: like the knee was down, but the ball came out

1853
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 3: and the officials have deemed it a fumble and they

1854
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 3: turnover and FaZe on. Brandon and the Worlies take over

1855
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 3: first and ten at their own five yard line, up

1856
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:45,160
Speaker 3: fourteen to seven. Brandon hands off on first down to

1857
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:48,000
Speaker 3: Michael Williams. Williams with a little bit of space into

1858
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:50,479
Speaker 3: the second level out across the ten yard line, brought

1859
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 3: down at the fourteen a pickup of nine yards, and

1860
01:31:54,040 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 3: that's three turnovers now for West Charlotte, and he said, hey,

1861
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 3: you got to go into the locker room, and how Queen,

1862
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 3: eliminate the penalties, eliminate the turnovers. First drive very promising,

1863
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:09,400
Speaker 3: going into score again, and we have another turnover.

1864
01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:09,920
Speaker 5: That's three.

1865
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:11,920
Speaker 4: It's hard to win a game when you're minus three.

1866
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:14,839
Speaker 4: They need to find at least one, maybe two on defense.

1867
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:21,840
Speaker 3: Here we go, second down in one from the fourteen,

1868
01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 3: Brandon whips one near side. Alex Cooper makes the catch,

1869
01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 3: picks up a first down and takes a hard shot

1870
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 3: at the end of that play out to the twenty

1871
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:34,000
Speaker 3: six yard line.

1872
01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:36,800
Speaker 4: Just a little thrown catch there at the bottom of

1873
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:40,599
Speaker 4: our screen here on the West Charlotte sideline and set

1874
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:43,720
Speaker 4: in the first half. These Cooper brothers hard to bring down.

1875
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:47,519
Speaker 4: Alex took a big, big shot, hop right back up,

1876
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 4: but a massive shot right along the sideline.

1877
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 3: His third catch of the night, twenty three yards receiving

1878
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 3: for Alex Cooper. His brother Hudson has a fifty three

1879
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 3: yard touchdown catch to his name already here tonight, here's

1880
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:02,559
Speaker 3: Kaien battle in motion. Takes the pitch on a sweep,

1881
01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:05,600
Speaker 3: tries to turn it up field. Not much room to

1882
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:11,360
Speaker 3: run and he's dropped at the twenty nine, Pop Bowman

1883
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 3: with the tackle there for West Charlotte five and a.

1884
01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 4: Half to play.

1885
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:17,320
Speaker 3: Here in the third quarter, fourteen to seven, Grimsley on

1886
01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:20,760
Speaker 3: top the sun set long ago here on the Queen

1887
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,840
Speaker 3: City nine to forty nine pm Eastern time, we are

1888
01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:26,679
Speaker 3: nestled here in the press box to booth at Bank

1889
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:30,720
Speaker 3: of America Stadium, surrounded by what I think is one

1890
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:34,840
Speaker 3: of the great skylines in all of America. We're a

1891
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 3: little biased, we live here, but it doesn't get better

1892
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:38,520
Speaker 3: than North Carolina.

1893
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:39,680
Speaker 4: Was taking it in and I'll get a chance to

1894
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 4: take it in on the sideline during these night games.

1895
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 4: But just gorgeous second and seven from the twenty nine.

1896
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:53,200
Speaker 4: It's a handoff to Michael Williams and Williams loses the yard.

1897
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:55,920
Speaker 4: I mean, this has just been a gorgeous night for football.

1898
01:33:57,120 --> 01:34:00,479
Speaker 4: Picture perfect skies, cool, there's not a lot of humidity,

1899
01:34:00,520 --> 01:34:03,200
Speaker 4: which kind of makes for good football in late August.

1900
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 4: And we're setting up here for a really big third down.

1901
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:11,040
Speaker 4: Twice already after turnovers, West Charlotte has been able to

1902
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:14,080
Speaker 4: get the ball back on these sort of sudden change situations.

1903
01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:16,680
Speaker 4: This is gonna be a big, big, play kind of

1904
01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:20,880
Speaker 4: keep grimsly pinned back third and eight from the twenty

1905
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:21,839
Speaker 4: eight faizon.

1906
01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:24,400
Speaker 3: Brandon, with Michah Williams next to him in the backfield,

1907
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 3: looks over to the sideline for the call. Three wide

1908
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:29,479
Speaker 3: receivers bunch to the near side, balls loose on the

1909
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:32,760
Speaker 3: turf at Brandon's feet. Did he fall back on it?

1910
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 3: I believe he did. West Charlotte Almays almost came up

1911
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 3: with their first turnover of the night.

1912
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:46,200
Speaker 4: I thought Jashawn Shaw had a chance maybe wrestling it

1913
01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:50,719
Speaker 4: away there from Brandon and Brandon hangs on and.

1914
01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 3: Loss of six on the plow close how to bring

1915
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:59,519
Speaker 3: up fourth down and thirteen from their own twenty three

1916
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:03,720
Speaker 3: yard line, meaning Chase hull Mantle is back out to

1917
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:07,960
Speaker 3: punt the football line of scrimmage the twenty three he'll

1918
01:35:07,960 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 3: mantles standing at his own eight yard line.

1919
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:13,680
Speaker 4: As my kids call them. Let me break out the

1920
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 4: old innoculars. Here they're trying to hustle a wing onto

1921
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:20,400
Speaker 4: the punt formation here with five seconds left on the

1922
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:24,920
Speaker 4: play clock. Close got it off return men standing back

1923
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 4: at their own forty and it's caught by number eighty

1924
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:37,479
Speaker 4: eight J D McDonald. McDonald using the joystick trying to

1925
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 4: make some defenders miss across midfield, and the Lions will

1926
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:44,599
Speaker 4: get the football first and ten in plus territory at

1927
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:47,599
Speaker 4: the Grimsley forty eight yard line. So the West Charlotte

1928
01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:50,600
Speaker 4: defense holds against that's three turnovers by the offense in

1929
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:53,800
Speaker 4: all three times West Charlotte's gotten the ball back to

1930
01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 4: their offense as.

1931
01:35:56,800 --> 01:35:58,800
Speaker 5: Three minutes here in the second half or in the

1932
01:35:58,840 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 5: third quarter.

1933
01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:02,800
Speaker 4: And the biggest thing here that I'm looking for is,

1934
01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:06,240
Speaker 4: let's find some spot on the field that we can attack.

1935
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:08,840
Speaker 4: Haven't really seen them throw the ball down the field.

1936
01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:12,439
Speaker 4: This wing t offense that Sam Grinder talked to us about.

1937
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:15,519
Speaker 4: It's a lot of deception and misdirection. What they haven't

1938
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:17,559
Speaker 4: really been able to do other than the one throw

1939
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 4: to Nicholson on the West Charlotte sideline is they haven't

1940
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:23,160
Speaker 4: found an explosive and they haven't really thrown the ball

1941
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 4: downfield at all. I'd love to see some sort of

1942
01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:29,439
Speaker 4: early down play action where you're throwing it deep to

1943
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 4: Nicholson or Gilmore and just try to stretch the defense

1944
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:36,880
Speaker 4: a little bit. It's really hard trying to go three

1945
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,040
Speaker 4: and four yards a play.

1946
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:41,839
Speaker 5: Somewhere you gotta find a big explosive.

1947
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:44,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're playmakers out here, and I feel for rakeem Finch.

1948
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:47,360
Speaker 3: Fortunately for him, that fumble, which we're not even sure

1949
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:49,240
Speaker 3: was a fumble at the end of the last West

1950
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:53,479
Speaker 3: Charlotte drive was not converted into points by Grimsley. I'd

1951
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 3: have to think they're still looking to get him involved here.

1952
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 3: But you brought up the name Dante Nicholson. I've mentioned

1953
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 3: a couple of times tonight. He is a Charlotte four

1954
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:02,960
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers commit and Charlotte, by the way, shout

1955
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 3: out to the forty nine Ers fan base. They opened

1956
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:08,760
Speaker 3: the season with app State coming up next week right

1957
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:11,800
Speaker 3: here at the Bank. New head coach Tim albin A

1958
01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:14,640
Speaker 3: mac champ on his way out of the Ohio Bobcats

1959
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:17,439
Speaker 3: program last year. There's a lot of excitement around that

1960
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 3: program in its future, and they're no doubt paying attention

1961
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:22,280
Speaker 3: to what their future wide receiver's doing out here tonight.

1962
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:25,840
Speaker 3: Here's Nickols on first down and ten from the forty nine.

1963
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:31,120
Speaker 3: It's a handoff with the Grimsley defense penetrating and making

1964
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:36,160
Speaker 3: the stop for a loss. Emery McLain driven backwards and

1965
01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:39,240
Speaker 3: dropped at the forty seven yard line, So why is

1966
01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:42,000
Speaker 3: there so much struggle to run the ball inside with

1967
01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:44,479
Speaker 3: these sort of wing te concepts, which is a lot

1968
01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 3: of gap scheme, meaning the ball is supposed to go

1969
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:50,960
Speaker 3: between the guard and the tackle. Andrew Rodgers sixty four

1970
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:53,600
Speaker 3: to two forty, Jaden Warlow five ten two twenty is

1971
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 3: Sire Crawford sixty one two seventy Cassius Bostiks sixty one

1972
01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:57,640
Speaker 3: two ten.

1973
01:37:57,720 --> 01:38:00,160
Speaker 4: There are big guys on this defensive line.

1974
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:04,360
Speaker 3: Low snap, Nickels handles it, floats a screen pass, Paul

1975
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:09,840
Speaker 3: comes loose again, but fortunately this time West Charlotte able

1976
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:12,960
Speaker 3: to retrieve it. I mean, that's the definition of right place,

1977
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:17,839
Speaker 3: right time, Big number fifty. Ian Smith, the senior offensive lineman,

1978
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:21,640
Speaker 3: was standing right there as the ball was fumbled by

1979
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:25,360
Speaker 3: rakeem Finch again. I shouldn't say again, but the last

1980
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:27,680
Speaker 3: one I didn't seem to be technically a fumble to us.

1981
01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:29,599
Speaker 4: But you got to worry about that if you're Sam Grinder. Now,

1982
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:31,680
Speaker 4: play kind of started off with a little bit of

1983
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:34,200
Speaker 4: a low snap which got everything a little bit out

1984
01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:37,599
Speaker 4: of sink. Ian Smith's actually running to his block, He's

1985
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 4: a little bit late again. The timing is messed up.

1986
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:43,320
Speaker 4: Because the snap kind of starts off weird. Thankfully the

1987
01:38:43,360 --> 01:38:45,519
Speaker 4: ball bounces right back into his handers or that would

1988
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:47,599
Speaker 4: have been a fourth West Charlotte turnover.

1989
01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:50,960
Speaker 3: Third down in eighteen. Now from their own forty three,

1990
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:53,439
Speaker 3: here come the Lions. It's just Seir Gray on the

1991
01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:55,960
Speaker 3: swing pass, keeps his feet back to the original line

1992
01:38:55,960 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 3: of scrimmage across midfield and driven out of bounds at

1993
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:03,880
Speaker 3: the forty eight yard line of Grimsley, still well short

1994
01:39:03,960 --> 01:39:06,240
Speaker 3: of a first down, and Sam Grinder and company will

1995
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 3: have to punt again.

1996
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,080
Speaker 4: And even though they're gonna punt this ball away and four,

1997
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,960
Speaker 4: it was third and eighteen and Grimsley is playing a

1998
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,240
Speaker 4: little bit of softer defense. I like that they're pitching

1999
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:17,640
Speaker 4: the ball outside, trying to get the ball into a

2000
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 4: little bit of space. It has been almost impossible to

2001
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:24,519
Speaker 4: run inside on Grimsley tonight. The linebacking crew of Patrick Carter,

2002
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:27,800
Speaker 4: Drew Searles, and Kyrie Milner are filling any gaps that

2003
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:31,080
Speaker 4: are still left out there. And we're having another punting

2004
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 4: issue in terms of personnel, and West Charlotte chooses to

2005
01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:36,400
Speaker 4: burn a timeout, which.

2006
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:40,200
Speaker 5: So in the NFL we've kind.

2007
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:43,800
Speaker 4: Of learned timeouts are golden, And the biggest reason is

2008
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:46,679
Speaker 4: we want to have drives at the end of the halves.

2009
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:51,080
Speaker 4: If I could get all these high school coaches together

2010
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 4: and I would encourage them, please stop using your timeout. So, yes,

2011
01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:56,040
Speaker 4: it's fourth and ten and they are short of man,

2012
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:57,920
Speaker 4: I don't think that they should snap the ball, but

2013
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:00,800
Speaker 4: a five yard penalty right there is not terrible when

2014
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 4: we're punting in the plus territory. We've seen this now

2015
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 4: in both games, where I think a lot of these

2016
01:40:06,560 --> 01:40:09,640
Speaker 4: coaches are getting frustrated that they don't have their personnel

2017
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:12,360
Speaker 4: out on the field and they're burning timeouts almost as

2018
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:15,760
Speaker 4: like a show of frustration. Yep, a five yard delay

2019
01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 4: a game would not have been a big issue right there.

2020
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:21,000
Speaker 4: And you'd certainly rather have that timeout than five yards

2021
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:23,479
Speaker 4: at any point in the game, except for those last

2022
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:26,080
Speaker 4: two or three minutes needing a two minute drive to

2023
01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:27,000
Speaker 4: score and win the game.

2024
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:29,839
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna we're gonna have a clinic.

2025
01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 4: Well, we'll have a clinic on all the high school

2026
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 4: coaches here at some point and try to keep those

2027
01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:37,439
Speaker 4: timeouts in your pocket. Listen, I think you make a

2028
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 4: great point.

2029
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:40,479
Speaker 3: And with one oh nine left to play, Grimsley leading

2030
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:43,280
Speaker 3: fourteen to seven, set to get the ball back here.

2031
01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:45,639
Speaker 3: But your point is a salient one because right now

2032
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:48,559
Speaker 3: West Charlotte is trailing by seven. Not much has gone

2033
01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:51,280
Speaker 3: their way offensively. They've turned the ball over three times

2034
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:53,599
Speaker 3: and now they're down to one time out and Grimsley

2035
01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:55,559
Speaker 3: has all three left. Daryl Brown has yet to call

2036
01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 3: a time out here in the third quarter, so things

2037
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:01,280
Speaker 3: can change. Obviously, football could be a a crazy sport,

2038
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:02,679
Speaker 3: but I think you're all over it.

2039
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:04,000
Speaker 4: It's not an ideal place to be.

2040
01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 3: Dante Nicholson back to punt, takes the snap, gets it

2041
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:12,639
Speaker 3: away line drive kick, fair catch called for and made

2042
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:15,840
Speaker 3: by Alex Cooper at the twenty yard line, and that's

2043
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:19,799
Speaker 3: where Faison Brandon and the Whorlies will assume the position

2044
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 3: back on offense with one oh three left to go

2045
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:23,840
Speaker 3: in the third quarter, and.

2046
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:25,120
Speaker 5: West Charlotte was really lucky there.

2047
01:41:25,160 --> 01:41:27,559
Speaker 4: That ball was a line drive punt right at Alex

2048
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 4: Cooper and he had about fifteen yards low.

2049
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 5: Line drive kick.

2050
01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:34,400
Speaker 4: He could have easily converted that into at least your

2051
01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:36,280
Speaker 4: you know what, we call the first first down ten

2052
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:39,840
Speaker 4: yards and get the offense going, but bailed out by

2053
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:43,800
Speaker 4: a quick fair catch opportunity and Brandon will take over

2054
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 4: it his own twenty.

2055
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:49,240
Speaker 3: First and ten from the twenty moving left to right,

2056
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:52,560
Speaker 3: ball between the hashes here, three wide receivers to the

2057
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 3: near side, quick pitch out to shoemake right side, makes

2058
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:58,599
Speaker 3: a man miss into the second level, lowers his shoulder

2059
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:02,280
Speaker 3: and bowls over three West Charlotte defenders hit the forty

2060
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:05,240
Speaker 3: yard line out to the forty two, a twenty two

2061
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 3: yard pickup for number twenty four ty Shoemaker and.

2062
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:09,720
Speaker 5: Sam Grinder's living.

2063
01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:11,959
Speaker 4: They only had ten on the field, did West Charlotte,

2064
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 4: and just has been some substitution issues here in the

2065
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:20,160
Speaker 4: third quarter that are really kind of causing West Charlotte

2066
01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:21,680
Speaker 4: to shoot themselves in the foot.

2067
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:24,400
Speaker 3: Longest running play of the night for the Grimsley offense.

2068
01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:27,599
Speaker 3: Here's Brandon on first down, fires one near side catch

2069
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 3: made by Kate and Cato, and he's immediately wrapped up

2070
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 3: by a couple of West Charlotte defenders a gain of two.

2071
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,080
Speaker 4: Twenty seconds left here in the third quarter. I'll be

2072
01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:42,599
Speaker 4: curious to see if maybe maybe there's sort of take

2073
01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:46,000
Speaker 4: a shot play, fake a snap count right here before

2074
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:47,760
Speaker 4: the end of the clock. They don't have to snap it,

2075
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:50,559
Speaker 4: and looks like they're gonna choose not to, but might

2076
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:52,320
Speaker 4: have been one of those cool spots on the field

2077
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:55,120
Speaker 4: round midfield to fake a snap and see if you

2078
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:56,920
Speaker 4: can get someone, draw someone off sides and take a

2079
01:42:56,920 --> 01:42:59,280
Speaker 4: shot down the field. But they'll let the third quarter

2080
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:01,400
Speaker 4: expire here fourteen to seven.

2081
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:02,879
Speaker 5: To wrap up the third.

2082
01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:05,600
Speaker 3: Quarter, we go to the fourth four fingers in the

2083
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:10,280
Speaker 3: air all across the stadium. Grimsley the road team from Greensboro.

2084
01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:13,000
Speaker 3: They've got a fourteen to seven advantage. As we go

2085
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:15,640
Speaker 3: into the final frame, we'll see what West Charlotte has

2086
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 3: to offer.

2087
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:18,880
Speaker 4: Keep it right here to Keep Pounding.

2088
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:22,440
Speaker 3: Classic, presented by Belk on Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.

2089
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:26,400
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Keep Pounding High School Classic on

2090
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety two point SEVENTYFNZ.

2091
01:43:33,520 --> 01:43:37,439
Speaker 3: The top quarterback prospect in the nation, Faison Brandon, having

2092
01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 3: a solid night here in the opener. His team leads

2093
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:43,080
Speaker 3: at fourteen to seven over the West Charlotte Lions, and

2094
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 3: the Whirlies have the football up fourteen to seven and

2095
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:49,879
Speaker 3: looking to put some distance between themselves and West Charlotte

2096
01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 3: for the first time tonight. As we enter the fourth

2097
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,719
Speaker 3: quarter of action, second down and eight from the forty

2098
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:58,320
Speaker 3: four yard line, coming up here to kick things off

2099
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 3: here in the final frame. Kyle Bailey, JJ Jansen. This

2100
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:04,080
Speaker 3: has been a heavyweight matchup. That's how it was built

2101
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:05,719
Speaker 3: and that's how it's played out here this evening.

2102
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:07,839
Speaker 5: It's been a great first three quarters.

2103
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:11,040
Speaker 4: It's almost kind of been the reverse of our first game.

2104
01:44:11,080 --> 01:44:12,880
Speaker 4: There was a lot of action early and now it

2105
01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:15,760
Speaker 4: feels like everything's tightening down a little bit as we

2106
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:18,720
Speaker 4: enter here into the final frame. And again I've said

2107
01:44:18,720 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 4: it a few times, we're looking for a couple of explosives.

2108
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:24,639
Speaker 5: Both of these defenses have played very very well.

2109
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:28,679
Speaker 4: Grimsley's forced three turnovers, but West Charlotte's forced a lot

2110
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:32,439
Speaker 4: of hunts. And it's a one score game, and both

2111
01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:35,479
Speaker 4: of these quarterbacks need to find some sort of big

2112
01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:37,559
Speaker 4: play because it's gonna be really hard to continue to

2113
01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:39,960
Speaker 4: move the ball down the field little by.

2114
01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:42,320
Speaker 5: Little, So we flipped the field.

2115
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:47,439
Speaker 3: Brandon and the Worley offense moving right to left on

2116
01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:50,000
Speaker 3: their own forty four yard lines. Second down and eight

2117
01:44:50,080 --> 01:44:54,520
Speaker 3: tunnel screen inside Kayan Battle makes the grab and across midfield,

2118
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:58,519
Speaker 3: he goes to the forty four yard line of West Charlotte,

2119
01:44:58,560 --> 01:45:02,120
Speaker 3: first down for Grimsley.

2120
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:07,799
Speaker 4: Nice tackle there by Davian Jones. We saw him on tape.

2121
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 4: The first thing that jumped out about him is he's

2122
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:13,000
Speaker 4: a dude, and he's a hard hitter and another big

2123
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:16,719
Speaker 4: hit in the defensive secondary. And Grimsley runs these tunnel

2124
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 4: screens really, really well. We saw it on the touchdown.

2125
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:21,439
Speaker 4: Their offensive line is big, but they can get out

2126
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:22,160
Speaker 4: and move.

2127
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 3: First and ten. Now from the West Charlotte forty four,

2128
01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:28,360
Speaker 3: here's Faison. Brandon dials his own number up to middle.

2129
01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:31,280
Speaker 3: He go spins away from a defender and falls inside

2130
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:34,439
Speaker 3: the forty yard line, stretches out and gets down to

2131
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:35,280
Speaker 3: the thirty eight.

2132
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:37,719
Speaker 4: That's a pickup of six. You know, I thought we'd

2133
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:39,840
Speaker 4: see Brandon kind of throw the ball over the yard

2134
01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:40,439
Speaker 4: a little bit more.

2135
01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:41,599
Speaker 5: He's been a runner and a.

2136
01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:45,920
Speaker 4: Ball distributory so far here today, and he's got a

2137
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:47,879
Speaker 4: big arm, and I'm kind of expecting.

2138
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:50,080
Speaker 5: I keep waiting. I keep waiting to.

2139
01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:52,599
Speaker 4: See someone go deep down the field, and I want

2140
01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:54,200
Speaker 4: to see him air one or two of these out.

2141
01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:56,720
Speaker 4: And right now they got ten guys up on the

2142
01:45:56,760 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage. There's some room back there if we're

2143
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:01,320
Speaker 4: willing to throw the ball down the field.

2144
01:46:01,600 --> 01:46:04,000
Speaker 3: Second and four from the thirty eight ball came loose.

2145
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:06,840
Speaker 3: It's on the turf, and West Charlotte's got it. Ty

2146
01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 3: shoemake with a tough run, fighting for extra yardage, and

2147
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:14,800
Speaker 3: as he was, the ball was poked out and West

2148
01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:18,920
Speaker 3: Charlotte forces their first turnover of the game here early

2149
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:21,799
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter and down by seven, They've suddenly

2150
01:46:21,840 --> 01:46:22,559
Speaker 3: got some life.

2151
01:46:22,680 --> 01:46:23,760
Speaker 5: The junior Cayden.

2152
01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:25,800
Speaker 4: Smith comes up with the fumble and this is just

2153
01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:30,719
Speaker 4: fighting for extra yards and first guy in is gonna

2154
01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 4: wrap up, and then the second, third, and fourth guy

2155
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 4: start punching at the ball, pulling at the ball, and

2156
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 4: on the bottom of the pile, I think that's number ten.

2157
01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:43,080
Speaker 4: Maj Daniels gets in there and rips it out and

2158
01:46:44,040 --> 01:46:45,960
Speaker 4: any leather you can get your hands on and just

2159
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:48,439
Speaker 4: try to rip and punch and poke. When you got

2160
01:46:48,439 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 4: a guy wrapped up and she make lost that one

2161
01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:52,200
Speaker 4: wasn't able to hang on.

2162
01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:55,080
Speaker 3: Let's see if Jamury Nichols in the Lions offense can

2163
01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 3: capitalize first down pressure in his face, flushed right, tucks

2164
01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:01,000
Speaker 3: it run still in back across midfield.

2165
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 4: Forty five forty.

2166
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:05,439
Speaker 3: It'll be a first down if the play stands, but

2167
01:47:05,560 --> 01:47:08,439
Speaker 3: a flag down on the near sideline.

2168
01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:11,000
Speaker 4: I'd be curious to see what they call here. It

2169
01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:12,479
Speaker 4: was it kind of looks like it was setting up

2170
01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:15,160
Speaker 4: to be a legal whole offensive line downfield.

2171
01:47:15,200 --> 01:47:16,719
Speaker 5: It was everybody. It wasn't just one guy.

2172
01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 4: But then he ran, so I don't know what they're

2173
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 4: gonna have here on the West Charlotte sideline.

2174
01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:24,320
Speaker 5: Maybe get him for a hold.

2175
01:47:27,560 --> 01:47:29,520
Speaker 4: Still deliberating here near midfield.

2176
01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:34,000
Speaker 3: Nichols that time had immediate pressure in his face, escaped

2177
01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:37,559
Speaker 3: to the right, and it was tiptoeing down the near

2178
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:39,400
Speaker 3: sideline in front of his own bench.

2179
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:47,160
Speaker 4: And they are still discussing it. Four officials in the

2180
01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:51,839
Speaker 4: huddle and plenty of chatter from the West Charlotte sideline,

2181
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:54,759
Speaker 4: maybe trying to sway the call here. If it stands,

2182
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:58,240
Speaker 4: it'll be a seventeen yard run for the West Charlotte quarterback.

2183
01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:09,720
Speaker 3: Here's the decision. Defensive holding is the call? Jaden wardlaw

2184
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:15,040
Speaker 3: the guilty party. We'll see if we'll get a second look.

2185
01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:20,880
Speaker 3: Warlow clearly disagrees. Look at me, like what on He's

2186
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:22,519
Speaker 3: got his hands out, Like what did I do? I'll

2187
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:25,559
Speaker 3: I'll be curious to see maybe he did nothing.

2188
01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:28,559
Speaker 4: They confer for so long sometimes I wonder if they're

2189
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:31,280
Speaker 4: trying to figure out we threw a flag, we have

2190
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:32,280
Speaker 4: to call something.

2191
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:36,719
Speaker 5: We won't get a replay of that, and so that'll

2192
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:37,240
Speaker 5: be tacked on.

2193
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:39,920
Speaker 4: So the seventeen yard run, yeah, Plus I think they're

2194
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:41,960
Speaker 4: gonna get him for ten yards for defensive holding.

2195
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:44,759
Speaker 3: That is correct, first and ten. New line of scrimmage

2196
01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:50,920
Speaker 3: the Grimsley thirty four and Nichols an Eric pass looking

2197
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:54,280
Speaker 3: for Dante Nicholson, and they just weren't on the same

2198
01:48:54,320 --> 01:48:55,080
Speaker 3: page right there.

2199
01:48:56,520 --> 01:48:57,200
Speaker 5: No, they weren't.

2200
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:02,400
Speaker 4: Nichols has done a nice job of West Charlott's had

2201
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:05,559
Speaker 4: three turnovers, but Nichols has done a nice job distributing.

2202
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:06,639
Speaker 5: The ball and keeping it out of harm's way.

2203
01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:09,479
Speaker 4: And sometimes on those broken plays, with that timing's not

2204
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:12,760
Speaker 4: quite right, it's best to make a bath throw and

2205
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:14,080
Speaker 4: just live to fight another down.

2206
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:16,760
Speaker 3: Ten minutes, thirty four seconds left to go in this

2207
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 3: ball game. West Charlotte trailing fourteen to seven, but they

2208
01:49:20,160 --> 01:49:23,760
Speaker 3: have the football second and ten in in amy territory

2209
01:49:23,760 --> 01:49:26,320
Speaker 3: at the world's thirty four. But there's a false start

2210
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:39,040
Speaker 3: penalty that'll be five yards against the Lions, Michael Toddy,

2211
01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 3: the sophomore offensive lineman that Sam Grinder speaks very highly of.

2212
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:48,320
Speaker 3: It's caught moving a bit early right there.

2213
01:49:48,800 --> 01:49:50,600
Speaker 5: I think that was setting up to be.

2214
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:52,600
Speaker 4: We had one on one coverage at the top of

2215
01:49:52,640 --> 01:49:55,479
Speaker 4: the at the top of the screen as we're looking

2216
01:49:55,520 --> 01:49:58,519
Speaker 4: at it landing Gilmour, we had one on one coverage

2217
01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:02,920
Speaker 4: on with Raheem sorry Ramir Harris Dupree, and thought it

2218
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:05,360
Speaker 4: was setting up as a possible opportunity. Now as we've

2219
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:07,960
Speaker 4: got the same setup this time, Dante Nicholson out.

2220
01:50:07,880 --> 01:50:10,519
Speaker 3: There one on one second and fifteen now from the

2221
01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:14,920
Speaker 3: thirty nine straight drop for Nichols, looking downfield, throws it

2222
01:50:14,960 --> 01:50:19,920
Speaker 3: into the end zone incomplete dangerous throw right there. King

2223
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:22,720
Speaker 3: Kobel the third was the intended target. A couple of

2224
01:50:22,760 --> 01:50:24,880
Speaker 3: defenders in the zip code though as well. It's the

2225
01:50:24,920 --> 01:50:27,000
Speaker 3: first time we've really seen the ball thrown downfield. But

2226
01:50:27,040 --> 01:50:30,560
Speaker 3: in this particular case, Nichols is throwing into double coverage

2227
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:34,400
Speaker 3: Number thirteen. Mackay Yon back there as a safety, but

2228
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:35,000
Speaker 3: also EJ.

2229
01:50:35,160 --> 01:50:39,519
Speaker 4: Davis really they were they ended up becoming the primary receiver,

2230
01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:43,320
Speaker 4: so he had single coverage at the top instead decides

2231
01:50:43,360 --> 01:50:45,679
Speaker 4: to throwing a double coverage in a post and maybe

2232
01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:47,360
Speaker 4: felt like he was trying to force a play there.

2233
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:53,719
Speaker 3: Jamuri Nichols does not have many incompletions in his box

2234
01:50:53,760 --> 01:50:54,400
Speaker 3: score tonight.

2235
01:50:56,320 --> 01:50:57,160
Speaker 4: Here's third down and.

2236
01:50:57,240 --> 01:50:59,880
Speaker 3: Fifteen zips one of the far side catch made by

2237
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:03,439
Speaker 3: davy On Jones. Jones stretches out for the twenty five

2238
01:51:03,560 --> 01:51:07,080
Speaker 3: yard line. We'll call it the twenty six. That's a

2239
01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:10,320
Speaker 3: gain of thirteen but still two yards shy of a

2240
01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 3: first down.

2241
01:51:11,439 --> 01:51:13,639
Speaker 4: And Jones there at that time was in single coverage

2242
01:51:13,680 --> 01:51:16,360
Speaker 4: able to kind of find a soft spot right in

2243
01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:20,160
Speaker 4: front of number twenty Ramier Harris Dupree and fights to

2244
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 4: make this a fourth and very manageable fourth and two.

2245
01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:25,599
Speaker 4: Fourth and three here in a must go situation, as

2246
01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:29,760
Speaker 4: west Chawotte's running an offensive lineman out on the field.

2247
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:32,800
Speaker 3: Nine forty nine to play fourth and two from the

2248
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:37,240
Speaker 3: twenty six. The Lions need the twenty four yard line

2249
01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:39,360
Speaker 3: for a first down to keep the drive alive, and

2250
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:43,719
Speaker 3: now no way. Sam Grinder has just called his final

2251
01:51:43,800 --> 01:51:49,080
Speaker 3: timeout with nine minutes and thirty nine seconds left to play.

2252
01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:52,880
Speaker 4: So we talk about a lot of times like miss

2253
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 4: cues and pre sint penalties and all of these things,

2254
01:51:56,160 --> 01:51:59,080
Speaker 4: why does it matter? So the day before the game,

2255
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:02,240
Speaker 4: most teams are doing some kind of a walkthrough. Usually

2256
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:04,799
Speaker 4: the primary goal of the walkthrough is the basic plays

2257
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:05,960
Speaker 4: and the substitutions.

2258
01:52:06,439 --> 01:52:07,559
Speaker 5: Two things have to happen.

2259
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:09,880
Speaker 4: The coaches need to know who are the first subs

2260
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:12,200
Speaker 4: in all the positions, and those players need to know

2261
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:16,519
Speaker 4: what's going on. If you mess up those substitution patterns

2262
01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:19,519
Speaker 4: on a Thursday walk through before a Friday game, these

2263
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:21,800
Speaker 4: situations come up where all of a sudden, you're running

2264
01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:24,160
Speaker 4: guys on late burning timeouts, and.

2265
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:25,479
Speaker 5: Those become so costly.

2266
01:52:25,560 --> 01:52:27,800
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of young players go, well, you know,

2267
01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:30,760
Speaker 4: it's a small mistake. Well, that small mistake becomes a

2268
01:52:30,800 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 4: big mistake because now West Charlotte is out of timeouts.

2269
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:36,000
Speaker 4: Now he had a take one there, he doesn't have

2270
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:39,280
Speaker 4: a good setup. It's fourth and two, and up to

2271
01:52:39,280 --> 01:52:41,120
Speaker 4: this point, this is the biggest play of the game.

2272
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:45,960
Speaker 4: It's a big conversion in Grimsley's territory. But he's now

2273
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:48,320
Speaker 4: out of timeouts with nine and a half minutes left

2274
01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:51,439
Speaker 4: in the game in which he's losing. And we've just

2275
01:52:51,520 --> 01:52:54,160
Speaker 4: seen this a couple of times. Now I got on

2276
01:52:54,280 --> 01:52:56,800
Speaker 4: coach Grinder for using one in the punt back in

2277
01:52:56,840 --> 01:52:58,640
Speaker 4: the third quarter that time. He really doesn't have much

2278
01:52:58,640 --> 01:53:00,559
Speaker 4: of a choice, right because if you fail there, you're

2279
01:53:00,560 --> 01:53:02,400
Speaker 4: really putting yourself behind the eight ball the rest of

2280
01:53:02,439 --> 01:53:05,840
Speaker 4: the way. But these are the little things that coaches

2281
01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:09,720
Speaker 4: are talking about. If we don't have substitutionnaires, we can

2282
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:11,880
Speaker 4: snap the ball on time, and there's not that ticki

2283
01:53:11,960 --> 01:53:14,320
Speaker 4: tacky stuff that builds up in a close game when

2284
01:53:14,360 --> 01:53:16,080
Speaker 4: you're playing a defending state champion.

2285
01:53:16,280 --> 01:53:19,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely so to contrast that and to rub salt in

2286
01:53:19,880 --> 01:53:22,600
Speaker 3: the wound as your alliance fan, the Grimsley Whorlies have

2287
01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:25,439
Speaker 3: all three timeouts remaining with nine and a half minutes

2288
01:53:25,479 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 3: left to play.

2289
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:27,280
Speaker 4: But JJ's one hundred percent right.

2290
01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:30,879
Speaker 3: This is a critical snap coming up for West Charlotte

2291
01:53:30,880 --> 01:53:32,960
Speaker 3: in this game. It's fourteen to seven. There's still a

2292
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:35,120
Speaker 3: long way to go here, but you're running out of

2293
01:53:35,120 --> 01:53:39,080
Speaker 3: opportunities and you can only ask your defense to bow

2294
01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:41,320
Speaker 3: it's neck and make a stop at so many times.

2295
01:53:41,760 --> 01:53:43,960
Speaker 3: Here's fourth and two, the gift to bird.

2296
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:44,080
Speaker 4: No.

2297
01:53:44,200 --> 01:53:47,280
Speaker 3: It actually kept by Jamory Nichols around the right side

2298
01:53:47,920 --> 01:53:50,519
Speaker 3: and nearly a touchdown, but he was cut down at

2299
01:53:50,520 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 3: the fifteen yard line. Call it the thirteen actually first

2300
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:57,120
Speaker 3: down and a thirteen yard run for Jamuriy Nichols, And

2301
01:53:57,160 --> 01:53:59,439
Speaker 3: I got to say, we've been commending his ball handling

2302
01:53:59,439 --> 01:54:00,000
Speaker 3: all night long.

2303
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:03,320
Speaker 4: He duped me on that fake. He duped everybody, and

2304
01:54:03,360 --> 01:54:04,080
Speaker 4: I love the play call.

2305
01:54:04,160 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 5: EJ.

2306
01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:06,880
Speaker 4: Davis makes a great open field tackle. Otherwise this is

2307
01:54:06,920 --> 01:54:11,519
Speaker 4: a touchdown. But all night the ball's been going inside, inside, inside,

2308
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 4: this time on the mesh where he's holding the ball

2309
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:15,120
Speaker 4: in the belly of the running back.

2310
01:54:15,479 --> 01:54:17,320
Speaker 5: He pulls it really, really late.

2311
01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:21,120
Speaker 4: All the defense caves down, and I've been saying, where

2312
01:54:21,200 --> 01:54:23,799
Speaker 4: was the open space on the field outside the tackles.

2313
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:29,479
Speaker 4: Nichols looked electric there and Davis barely barely stopped a touchdown.

2314
01:54:29,640 --> 01:54:32,040
Speaker 3: Three wide receivers Jones and Gilmour to the far side.

2315
01:54:32,040 --> 01:54:34,959
Speaker 3: It's a handoff to Emery McLain around the right side.

2316
01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:39,480
Speaker 3: McLain looking for a lane, couldn't find one. Tackled for

2317
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:42,720
Speaker 3: no gain at the thirteen yard line by number three

2318
01:54:42,800 --> 01:54:43,640
Speaker 3: Kasi Barnes.

2319
01:54:44,480 --> 01:54:46,720
Speaker 4: We lost another shoe on the offensive line. I'll tell

2320
01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:51,200
Speaker 4: you what shoelaces and helmet buckles needs to be assessed.

2321
01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:52,560
Speaker 5: Between the Week one and week two.

2322
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:54,600
Speaker 3: I think the equipment manager managed needs to be running

2323
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:56,480
Speaker 3: gassers on Monday at practice.

2324
01:54:57,040 --> 01:55:01,720
Speaker 4: Is one hundred percent correct and Khalil Cheese Hansley.

2325
01:55:01,360 --> 01:55:02,600
Speaker 5: McNair got away with a hold.

2326
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:06,680
Speaker 4: He about ripped down Jaden ward Law there, but he

2327
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 4: didn't get called.

2328
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:10,000
Speaker 3: Quick screen out to the near side. Catch made by

2329
01:55:10,040 --> 01:55:13,160
Speaker 3: Dante Nicholson. Nicholson inside the ten yard line, down to

2330
01:55:13,240 --> 01:55:16,240
Speaker 3: the seven and that's a gain of six.

2331
01:55:18,600 --> 01:55:21,480
Speaker 4: Setting up here an interesting third down. So it's third

2332
01:55:21,520 --> 01:55:23,720
Speaker 4: and four here at the seventh thing, get a first down.

2333
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:27,240
Speaker 4: They're clearly in four down territory. As far as I'm concerned,

2334
01:55:27,280 --> 01:55:29,800
Speaker 4: I don't think a field goal does anything good. Especially

2335
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:32,600
Speaker 4: coach Grinder talked about I don't know how great we

2336
01:55:32,600 --> 01:55:36,040
Speaker 4: feel about our kicking situation. So four down territory a

2337
01:55:36,040 --> 01:55:38,000
Speaker 4: lot of room to work, and in the red zone,

2338
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:40,120
Speaker 4: I'd like to see them work outside.

2339
01:55:39,720 --> 01:55:43,240
Speaker 3: Wes Charlotte looking for the equalizer here, knocking on the door.

2340
01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:45,840
Speaker 3: Third down and four from the seven yard line. As

2341
01:55:45,920 --> 01:55:49,640
Speaker 3: JJ just said, the Lions can pick up a first

2342
01:55:49,680 --> 01:55:52,440
Speaker 3: down here, but they're looking to score and tie this

2343
01:55:52,480 --> 01:55:54,000
Speaker 3: game up seven and a half to play.

2344
01:55:54,920 --> 01:55:59,160
Speaker 4: Jamury Nichols in the offense. Can they finish it off?

2345
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:02,960
Speaker 3: Snap back hand off up the gunt to just see

2346
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 3: her gray nothing doing, and these Lions running backs continue

2347
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:11,000
Speaker 3: to run into a brick wall up the middle against

2348
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:13,080
Speaker 3: this grimsly defensive front.

2349
01:56:14,120 --> 01:56:17,640
Speaker 4: I'd really as good as Nichols is and pulling the ball,

2350
01:56:17,720 --> 01:56:20,080
Speaker 4: I'd really like to see, especially in the resident There's

2351
01:56:20,120 --> 01:56:23,160
Speaker 4: not as much room. All the safeties are right down

2352
01:56:23,200 --> 01:56:25,640
Speaker 4: on top of the line of scrimmage. I'd love to

2353
01:56:25,640 --> 01:56:27,800
Speaker 4: see him pull one here, much like he did on

2354
01:56:27,840 --> 01:56:31,080
Speaker 4: the last fourth down about a minute and a half ago.

2355
01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:34,320
Speaker 3: Fourth down and three from the six, gotta have it.

2356
01:56:35,560 --> 01:56:38,760
Speaker 3: Nichols takes it, running right, one man to beat, shakes

2357
01:56:38,800 --> 01:56:41,440
Speaker 3: him off, fighting for the goal line. Stop short, but

2358
01:56:41,480 --> 01:56:45,040
Speaker 3: it's a first down for West Charlotte. We have a

2359
01:56:45,080 --> 01:56:49,480
Speaker 3: grimsly defender number six E. J. Davis celebrating for some reason,

2360
01:56:49,560 --> 01:56:52,400
Speaker 3: thinking that they made a fourth down stop, but doesn't

2361
01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:55,400
Speaker 3: realize that the Lions just picked up a first down.

2362
01:56:55,440 --> 01:56:58,080
Speaker 3: It's first and goal West Charlotte from the two yard line.

2363
01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 3: Huge play by Jan moriyan Nick with his feet.

2364
01:57:01,200 --> 01:57:04,640
Speaker 4: The move that Nichols put on Kyrie Milner in the

2365
01:57:04,640 --> 01:57:05,360
Speaker 4: open field.

2366
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:08,200
Speaker 5: He had known anything what happened?

2367
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:11,040
Speaker 4: It was an unbelievable move here, and now we're getting

2368
01:57:11,040 --> 01:57:15,960
Speaker 4: this quarterback sneague play under center? Was that Nichols riding

2369
01:57:15,960 --> 01:57:18,680
Speaker 4: a center into the end zone? I believe it was touchdown?

2370
01:57:19,240 --> 01:57:25,400
Speaker 3: Wes Lyons Wes Charlotte Lions fourteen to thirteen extra point pending.

2371
01:57:26,720 --> 01:57:28,760
Speaker 4: Kind of had a little tous push there playing and

2372
01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:30,960
Speaker 4: actually coach Grinder had said, hey, Rakee Finch.

2373
01:57:30,840 --> 01:57:31,400
Speaker 5: Might be the guy.

2374
01:57:31,520 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 4: Would we would toush push with They got Nichols under

2375
01:57:34,720 --> 01:57:39,040
Speaker 4: center there and a big, big drive, couple big conversions

2376
01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 4: by Nichols and punching it in for a what could

2377
01:57:42,800 --> 01:57:45,160
Speaker 4: be here the game tying score with the pat pending

2378
01:57:46,400 --> 01:57:47,160
Speaker 4: number thirty one.

2379
01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:52,400
Speaker 3: Angel Ruiz on to kick the extra point, landing Gilmore

2380
01:57:52,440 --> 01:57:55,360
Speaker 3: to hold kick us up, but it's blocked, but it's

2381
01:57:55,360 --> 01:58:01,440
Speaker 3: picked up by West Charlotte. No good Oh my goodness,

2382
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:06,080
Speaker 3: extra point blocks. Angel Ruiz never got the ball off

2383
01:58:06,120 --> 01:58:06,640
Speaker 3: the ground.

2384
01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:07,440
Speaker 4: It might have hit the.

2385
01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:09,480
Speaker 3: Back of an offensive line and we'll have to check

2386
01:58:09,480 --> 01:58:14,440
Speaker 3: the replay. But Grimsley retains a one point lead.

2387
01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:16,640
Speaker 5: And I may have just done the announcer's curse.

2388
01:58:18,040 --> 01:58:18,400
Speaker 2: Ah.

2389
01:58:18,440 --> 01:58:21,800
Speaker 4: I told myself I wouldn't do that that's bad. That's

2390
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:24,560
Speaker 4: bad ball by me. I'm sorry, Wes Charlotte. That wasn't good.

2391
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:25,360
Speaker 4: That's tough.

2392
01:58:25,400 --> 01:58:28,400
Speaker 3: There's the replay of the touchdown run and yes, a

2393
01:58:28,400 --> 01:58:30,920
Speaker 3: bit of a toush push. Here's the kick, and that

2394
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 3: ball was never going anywhere. It never got higher than

2395
01:58:34,080 --> 01:58:37,920
Speaker 3: helmet height of the offensive line, never had a chance.

2396
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:43,320
Speaker 3: Fourteen to thirteen, West Charlotte still trails with six seventeen

2397
01:58:43,400 --> 01:58:44,080
Speaker 3: left to play.

2398
01:58:44,640 --> 01:58:45,680
Speaker 4: Play a time here.

2399
01:58:46,280 --> 01:58:48,920
Speaker 3: But again, the problem if you're Alliance fan is you

2400
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:51,120
Speaker 3: have no way to stop the clock by a time.

2401
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:53,400
Speaker 4: Out the rest of the way. Okay, Now, Grimsley's had

2402
01:58:53,400 --> 01:58:55,840
Speaker 4: two big drives here where they've in the first half

2403
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:57,560
Speaker 4: where they had a fourteen play drive in a nine

2404
01:58:57,600 --> 01:59:01,440
Speaker 4: play drive for touchdowns. The way I'm looking at this

2405
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:03,960
Speaker 4: right now, if I'm Darryl Brown and Jesse Tripp their

2406
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:09,480
Speaker 4: offensive play calling quarterback coach, there's six seventeen left. If

2407
01:59:09,480 --> 01:59:13,320
Speaker 4: I can get three first downs, West Charlotte can't stop me.

2408
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:15,600
Speaker 5: So I'm slowing the tempo down.

2409
01:59:15,480 --> 01:59:18,480
Speaker 4: With a one point lead, and I'm trying to grind

2410
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:22,200
Speaker 4: this game out. Whoever's going to run the ball, whether

2411
01:59:22,240 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 4: it be Faison, Brandon Michaeh Williams, ty Shuemak, whoever's touching

2412
01:59:26,840 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 4: the ball. I'm doing everything I can for three first

2413
01:59:29,720 --> 01:59:32,000
Speaker 4: downs a traditional four minute offense.

2414
01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:34,840
Speaker 3: I don't want West Charlotte to touch the ball again.

2415
01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:42,440
Speaker 3: Short kickoff. There By West Charlotte kaien battle for Grimsley

2416
01:59:42,680 --> 01:59:45,919
Speaker 3: catches it at about the thirty five yard line. Short return,

2417
01:59:47,360 --> 01:59:49,480
Speaker 3: so the thirty nine we'll call it to thirty eight

2418
01:59:49,560 --> 01:59:53,080
Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, First and ten Grimsley from

2419
01:59:53,120 --> 01:59:55,400
Speaker 3: their own thirty eight yard line up by one.

2420
01:59:56,480 --> 01:59:59,480
Speaker 4: So with six to thirteen left, West Charlotte maybe kind

2421
01:59:59,480 --> 02:00:01,480
Speaker 4: of feeling like, hey, we're still in a normal game.

2422
02:00:01,960 --> 02:00:04,880
Speaker 4: If I'm Grimsly, I'm looking at this and saying, hey, look,

2423
02:00:05,440 --> 02:00:07,760
Speaker 4: I might only have ten more snaps left in the

2424
02:00:07,920 --> 02:00:11,520
Speaker 4: entire game. How can I run it down West Charlotte's

2425
02:00:11,520 --> 02:00:12,520
Speaker 4: throat to end this game?

2426
02:00:13,520 --> 02:00:16,160
Speaker 3: They're throwing it on first down, man open. Hudson Cooper

2427
02:00:16,200 --> 02:00:18,720
Speaker 3: makes the grab and he's off to the races. Big

2428
02:00:18,840 --> 02:00:26,160
Speaker 3: chunk play on first down, deep into plus territory, and

2429
02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:28,240
Speaker 3: apparently Darryl Brown had other ideas.

2430
02:00:28,960 --> 02:00:31,600
Speaker 4: I think Hudson Cooper fell on the ball there looks

2431
02:00:31,600 --> 02:00:33,560
Speaker 4: like he might have got the win knocked out of him,

2432
02:00:33,560 --> 02:00:36,480
Speaker 4: but a really nice throwing catch there. It's just a

2433
02:00:36,520 --> 02:00:41,480
Speaker 4: quick slant, three step drop Hits Hits Cooper coming across

2434
02:00:41,560 --> 02:00:44,720
Speaker 4: the middle, and that's a really nice timing around finding

2435
02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:47,280
Speaker 4: a soft spot in the zone. And second or third

2436
02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:51,840
Speaker 4: time Cooper brothers kind of hit in stride by Brandon

2437
02:00:52,120 --> 02:00:54,800
Speaker 4: and really nice throwing catching.

2438
02:00:55,280 --> 02:00:56,720
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna be okay.

2439
02:00:56,720 --> 02:00:59,560
Speaker 4: I think he landed on the football, which isn't a

2440
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:02,920
Speaker 4: good feel, but that will not necessarily knock you out

2441
02:01:02,920 --> 02:01:03,280
Speaker 4: of the game.

2442
02:01:03,440 --> 02:01:06,840
Speaker 3: Thirty two yard pitch and catch from Faison Brandon to

2443
02:01:06,920 --> 02:01:10,800
Speaker 3: Hudson Cooper sets up the Grimsley Worthies first and ten

2444
02:01:11,400 --> 02:01:15,280
Speaker 3: at the West Charlotte thirty yard line. When play resumes,

2445
02:01:15,360 --> 02:01:18,360
Speaker 3: Hudson Cooper, who is now up to ninety two yards

2446
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:23,960
Speaker 3: receiving on the night by my count, having a great

2447
02:01:24,080 --> 02:01:27,480
Speaker 3: evening fifty three yard touchdown the first score of the

2448
02:01:27,560 --> 02:01:31,040
Speaker 3: night on a tunnel screen from Faison Brandon and now

2449
02:01:31,120 --> 02:01:34,840
Speaker 3: Hudson Cooper is up and moving. JJ Jansen appears to

2450
02:01:34,840 --> 02:01:37,920
Speaker 3: be right. Cooper seems fine and will step off for

2451
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:38,880
Speaker 3: at least to play.

2452
02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:41,360
Speaker 4: And I don't know who the little kid is next one.

2453
02:01:41,400 --> 02:01:43,240
Speaker 4: It could be his little brother, because he's also wearing

2454
02:01:43,280 --> 02:01:45,400
Speaker 4: a ten jersey. But if that is his little brother,

2455
02:01:45,680 --> 02:01:48,360
Speaker 4: probably calling a few names and telling him to get up,

2456
02:01:48,440 --> 02:01:52,280
Speaker 4: that's his motivation as anything, to stand up and run

2457
02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:53,000
Speaker 4: off the field.

2458
02:01:53,600 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 3: Interestingly, his brother Alex Cooper followed him off the field.

2459
02:01:57,720 --> 02:02:00,560
Speaker 3: So now the wide receivers out there for Grimsley, number

2460
02:02:00,560 --> 02:02:06,360
Speaker 3: one Caden Cato and number I believe that's number seven

2461
02:02:06,840 --> 02:02:10,560
Speaker 3: Patrick Carter, So both Cooper brothers off the field. First

2462
02:02:10,600 --> 02:02:14,480
Speaker 3: and ten Grimsley. Brandon takes the snap, hands off to

2463
02:02:14,560 --> 02:02:18,120
Speaker 3: Michaeh Williams right side and a nice gain on first

2464
02:02:18,160 --> 02:02:22,360
Speaker 3: down for Michah Williams, a pickup of six.

2465
02:02:25,480 --> 02:02:33,080
Speaker 4: Hudson coming back into the game, Hudson Cooper, they don't

2466
02:02:33,080 --> 02:02:35,800
Speaker 4: have to snap this football early, even if they don't score.

2467
02:02:35,880 --> 02:02:37,480
Speaker 5: You want to wear out the clock.

2468
02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:40,040
Speaker 4: Here five twenty one to play by the way.

2469
02:02:40,240 --> 02:02:42,920
Speaker 3: Here in the fourth quarter, fourteen to thirteen, Grimsley on

2470
02:02:43,040 --> 02:02:46,240
Speaker 3: top by a point and has has the football second

2471
02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:49,800
Speaker 3: and two from the twenty two of West Charlotte Faison,

2472
02:02:49,920 --> 02:02:53,880
Speaker 3: Brandon keeps it himself around the right side and chopped

2473
02:02:53,960 --> 02:02:55,080
Speaker 3: down after a gain of.

2474
02:02:55,040 --> 02:03:04,120
Speaker 4: One big third down. Here you would imagine Grimsly's in

2475
02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:07,200
Speaker 4: four down territory. We haven't seen anything big from a

2476
02:03:07,680 --> 02:03:12,320
Speaker 4: field goal kicker in pregame, you know traditionally, Hey, a

2477
02:03:12,360 --> 02:03:15,160
Speaker 4: field goal here puts you up more than a field

2478
02:03:15,160 --> 02:03:17,480
Speaker 4: goal would be kind of a valuable setting. But I

2479
02:03:17,480 --> 02:03:21,080
Speaker 4: would imagine this is gonna be four down territory for Grimsley.

2480
02:03:21,080 --> 02:03:23,880
Speaker 4: And again they wanted to be four down territory. They

2481
02:03:23,960 --> 02:03:26,600
Speaker 4: want to run this clock out. Third and one from

2482
02:03:26,640 --> 02:03:30,200
Speaker 4: the twenty one shotgun snap back throw over the middle?

2483
02:03:30,920 --> 02:03:33,880
Speaker 3: Was that catch made my goodness number nine to tight

2484
02:03:33,960 --> 02:03:38,240
Speaker 3: end DJ Howardton. The ball was behind him and he

2485
02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:41,920
Speaker 3: wrangles it with one hand. Let's watch the replay here

2486
02:03:42,520 --> 02:03:45,720
Speaker 3: of Howarton. Great job, great focus, brings it in with

2487
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:48,040
Speaker 3: his left hand, grabs it with both at the end,

2488
02:03:48,200 --> 02:03:51,240
Speaker 3: falls down to the turf, takes a shot there at

2489
02:03:51,240 --> 02:03:53,959
Speaker 3: the end at the twelve yard line, first down Grimsley.

2490
02:03:54,200 --> 02:03:55,280
Speaker 5: That's a dangerous throw.

2491
02:03:55,840 --> 02:03:57,920
Speaker 4: He throws him away from the coverage, but it's on

2492
02:03:58,000 --> 02:03:59,640
Speaker 4: his back shoulder and that's one of those balls that

2493
02:03:59,640 --> 02:04:03,520
Speaker 4: could have easily gotten tipped up to a safety. And

2494
02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:05,680
Speaker 4: they get away with one and convert for a big

2495
02:04:05,680 --> 02:04:06,200
Speaker 4: first down.

2496
02:04:06,520 --> 02:04:09,400
Speaker 3: Howarton's first catch of the night. First and ten from

2497
02:04:09,400 --> 02:04:13,800
Speaker 3: the twelve to give us to Michaeh Williams. Williams tries

2498
02:04:13,840 --> 02:04:16,440
Speaker 3: to bounce it outside, but he's brought down by three

2499
02:04:16,520 --> 02:04:20,680
Speaker 3: West Charlotte defenders. Gain of one for Micah Williams, and

2500
02:04:20,720 --> 02:04:22,360
Speaker 3: I tell you what, just like the first game, these

2501
02:04:22,440 --> 02:04:26,680
Speaker 3: running backs are working for everything. Michaeh Williams has eighteen

2502
02:04:26,840 --> 02:04:30,280
Speaker 3: total rushing yards tonight. He does have a touchdown in

2503
02:04:30,360 --> 02:04:33,280
Speaker 3: a one point game, tackle.

2504
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:37,080
Speaker 4: There by Damari Wallace and Elijah little John. And again

2505
02:04:37,640 --> 02:04:40,720
Speaker 4: there is no easy yards in either one of these games.

2506
02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:45,280
Speaker 4: Between the tackles, these running backs are taking a licking

2507
02:04:46,120 --> 02:04:47,640
Speaker 4: on all their inside run stuff.

2508
02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:51,400
Speaker 3: Second and ten from the twelve. This time Brandon keeps

2509
02:04:51,400 --> 02:04:54,560
Speaker 3: it himself. Foot race left side, throws a stiff arm

2510
02:04:55,280 --> 02:04:58,000
Speaker 3: brought down short of the goal line at the two.

2511
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:03,160
Speaker 3: A ten yard game for Faison Brandon. That should be

2512
02:05:03,240 --> 02:05:06,960
Speaker 3: good enough for a fresh set of downs, and it

2513
02:05:07,040 --> 02:05:09,520
Speaker 3: is first in goal from the two for Grimsley with

2514
02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:11,720
Speaker 3: three to zero four to play, looking to extend to

2515
02:05:11,840 --> 02:05:15,280
Speaker 3: one point lead here late in what has been a

2516
02:05:15,360 --> 02:05:20,200
Speaker 3: fantastic ballgame between two powerhouse programs here in North Carolina.

2517
02:05:20,320 --> 02:05:21,760
Speaker 5: Really big run there and.

2518
02:05:23,440 --> 02:05:25,560
Speaker 4: Gets the first down, which is probably the best of

2519
02:05:25,600 --> 02:05:28,920
Speaker 4: all potential situations. New set of downs and letting the

2520
02:05:28,920 --> 02:05:33,000
Speaker 4: clock run here. Grimsly's doing a nice job of milking

2521
02:05:33,040 --> 02:05:35,320
Speaker 4: this clock. They'll snap this thing under at least five.

2522
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:40,000
Speaker 3: Here is four three, first and goal from the two

2523
02:05:40,160 --> 02:05:44,000
Speaker 3: Faison Brandon going around the right side this time met

2524
02:05:44,040 --> 02:05:46,600
Speaker 3: with force at the lone of scrimmage and dropped for

2525
02:05:46,640 --> 02:05:49,680
Speaker 3: no game. I have to wonder, if Sam Grinder sits

2526
02:05:49,720 --> 02:05:51,960
Speaker 3: here and goes do we just let him into the

2527
02:05:52,080 --> 02:05:52,840
Speaker 3: end zone right now?

2528
02:05:54,040 --> 02:05:57,640
Speaker 4: I don't have any timeouts. They should milk this clock.

2529
02:05:57,720 --> 02:06:00,960
Speaker 4: They snap the last ball of two, there's a good

2530
02:06:01,080 --> 02:06:02,400
Speaker 4: chance they won't.

2531
02:06:02,200 --> 02:06:03,880
Speaker 5: Snap this next snap until at.

2532
02:06:03,840 --> 02:06:07,960
Speaker 4: Least one forty if they're kind of fully aware of

2533
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:11,440
Speaker 4: the clock here. And if I'm Sam Grinder, I'm thinking,

2534
02:06:11,760 --> 02:06:14,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, like I might just let him in

2535
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:18,480
Speaker 4: the end zone it And conversely, if I'm Grimsly, do

2536
02:06:18,560 --> 02:06:20,160
Speaker 4: I want to score a touchdown right now?

2537
02:06:20,840 --> 02:06:21,400
Speaker 5: I don't think so.

2538
02:06:21,600 --> 02:06:22,080
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

2539
02:06:22,080 --> 02:06:23,960
Speaker 3: It looks like they may burn a time out right here.

2540
02:06:25,760 --> 02:06:28,000
Speaker 3: In fact, they do, Darryl Brown comes out. Let's the

2541
02:06:28,040 --> 02:06:29,880
Speaker 3: play clock get all the way down to one. The

2542
02:06:29,920 --> 02:06:33,320
Speaker 3: game clock is at one forty nine, and unlike his

2543
02:06:33,440 --> 02:06:36,400
Speaker 3: counterpart Darryl Brown, has saved all of his timeouts for

2544
02:06:36,480 --> 02:06:39,320
Speaker 3: late in the game, burns his first of the second

2545
02:06:39,360 --> 02:06:43,000
Speaker 3: half and stops the clock at one forty nine. The

2546
02:06:43,040 --> 02:06:46,800
Speaker 3: score is fourteen to thirteen. A hard fought game has

2547
02:06:46,880 --> 02:06:50,120
Speaker 3: come down to this. The Grimsley Worlies lead by one

2548
02:06:50,440 --> 02:06:52,360
Speaker 3: and have the football knocking on the door with a

2549
02:06:52,440 --> 02:06:53,880
Speaker 3: chance to go up by as many as eight.

2550
02:06:54,360 --> 02:06:56,720
Speaker 4: Right now, if I'm Grimsly right now and we're having

2551
02:06:56,760 --> 02:06:59,280
Speaker 4: this conversation, and I'm an assistant coach, here's the math

2552
02:06:59,760 --> 02:07:02,680
Speaker 4: play one o'clocks forty seconds two times. That's a minute

2553
02:07:02,760 --> 02:07:05,120
Speaker 4: twenty at least, and there's usually a little bit of

2554
02:07:05,160 --> 02:07:08,600
Speaker 4: reorganization time. I can run the cl I can run

2555
02:07:08,680 --> 02:07:11,600
Speaker 4: this clock at least under thirty seconds, maybe down to

2556
02:07:11,680 --> 02:07:15,280
Speaker 4: twenty and not score. And then the question just becomes

2557
02:07:15,480 --> 02:07:17,720
Speaker 4: do I think I can stop a ninety nine yard

2558
02:07:18,440 --> 02:07:23,200
Speaker 4: play with twenty seconds left? If I'm Grimsly, I don't

2559
02:07:23,200 --> 02:07:26,160
Speaker 4: want to score right now. If I'm Wes Charlotte, if

2560
02:07:26,240 --> 02:07:29,600
Speaker 4: they are silly enough to run a play, I'm letting

2561
02:07:29,640 --> 02:07:32,080
Speaker 4: them in the end zone. Because every single time they're

2562
02:07:32,080 --> 02:07:34,919
Speaker 4: gonna run the clock down, so this will be interesting strategy.

2563
02:07:34,960 --> 02:07:39,000
Speaker 4: Here does Grimsly encroach Darryl Brown just say I think

2564
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:40,920
Speaker 4: I can win this game fourteen thirteen, even if I

2565
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:43,040
Speaker 4: give you the ball back of the two, or are

2566
02:07:43,080 --> 02:07:45,760
Speaker 4: they gonna be excited to try to go score because

2567
02:07:46,120 --> 02:07:48,440
Speaker 4: even if they hit the pat it's an eight point game.

2568
02:07:48,840 --> 02:07:51,120
Speaker 4: And you give Wes Charlotte, let's say a minute forty

2569
02:07:51,120 --> 02:07:53,840
Speaker 4: to go down score and tie this game up. If

2570
02:07:53,840 --> 02:07:56,840
Speaker 4: I'm Grimsly, I am not letting myself score right now.

2571
02:07:58,520 --> 02:08:02,360
Speaker 3: It'll be very interesting to see directions Darryl Brown has

2572
02:08:02,400 --> 02:08:05,640
Speaker 3: given Brandon or Faison Brandon and the offense coming out

2573
02:08:05,640 --> 02:08:10,560
Speaker 3: of the huddle here one nine to play, fourteen thirteen,

2574
02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:13,640
Speaker 3: Grimsley on top. Let's see if what JJ said just

2575
02:08:13,720 --> 02:08:16,360
Speaker 3: a moment Ago comes to fruition shotgun snap is back

2576
02:08:16,400 --> 02:08:20,360
Speaker 3: to give to Michael Williams, and Williams punches it in touchdown.

2577
02:08:20,960 --> 02:08:26,520
Speaker 3: Worlies twenty to thirteen, extra point pending.

2578
02:08:28,280 --> 02:08:32,400
Speaker 4: And we got a late flag in the secondary about

2579
02:08:32,560 --> 02:08:35,160
Speaker 4: seven yards deep in the end zone, and I think

2580
02:08:35,200 --> 02:08:39,200
Speaker 4: we're gonna get a personal foul some kind of taunting.

2581
02:08:40,200 --> 02:08:43,760
Speaker 5: Looks like it might be Sam Johnson. I can't tell.

2582
02:08:45,280 --> 02:08:48,520
Speaker 4: To bring up a second interesting situation here? Yeah, would

2583
02:08:48,560 --> 02:08:50,320
Speaker 4: you go for two and try to end it? I

2584
02:08:50,440 --> 02:08:52,480
Speaker 4: was gonna ask you the same question, any thought of that.

2585
02:08:52,600 --> 02:08:56,200
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, it's high school football. Kickstart automatic, right,

2586
02:08:56,320 --> 02:08:59,920
Speaker 4: I mean something to consider. You hit a two point

2587
02:09:00,040 --> 02:09:02,280
Speaker 4: conversion here. It's a two possession game with a minute

2588
02:09:02,320 --> 02:09:04,040
Speaker 4: forty three left to go, and your opponent has no

2589
02:09:04,120 --> 02:09:04,800
Speaker 4: timeouts left.

2590
02:09:05,080 --> 02:09:07,440
Speaker 5: They may they looks like they're gonna kick.

2591
02:09:07,480 --> 02:09:09,440
Speaker 4: They may be able to put this on the kickoff

2592
02:09:09,480 --> 02:09:12,280
Speaker 4: and kick off from the would I imagine be about

2593
02:09:12,360 --> 02:09:15,880
Speaker 4: the fifty yard line, maybe plus forty five, depending on

2594
02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:17,280
Speaker 4: how they spot it. Yeah.

2595
02:09:18,520 --> 02:09:20,520
Speaker 5: Have we got an official word yet? I don't know.

2596
02:09:20,600 --> 02:09:22,080
Speaker 3: But I look down in front of me here at

2597
02:09:22,120 --> 02:09:26,480
Speaker 3: the bank and the West Charlotte faithful streaming toward the exits.

2598
02:09:30,320 --> 02:09:34,880
Speaker 3: Nick Kashubara number seventy two for Grimsley, charged with a

2599
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:36,680
Speaker 3: late hit there at the end of the play.

2600
02:09:37,440 --> 02:09:40,800
Speaker 4: And can I say we're gonna have a clinic. Make

2601
02:09:40,920 --> 02:09:43,720
Speaker 4: this be a long field goal because you need a touchdown.

2602
02:09:43,960 --> 02:09:46,440
Speaker 4: I don't give up this one point. Make this be

2603
02:09:46,560 --> 02:09:51,720
Speaker 4: a thirty five yard pat. Well, it's a regular pat

2604
02:09:51,920 --> 02:09:56,800
Speaker 4: instead Heuel Mantle puts a boot into it. How are

2605
02:09:56,880 --> 02:10:00,560
Speaker 4: all of these helmets coming off? It's unbelievable. Another one

2606
02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:03,640
Speaker 4: on a pat. But the kick is good and it's.

2607
02:10:03,640 --> 02:10:08,640
Speaker 3: Twenty one to thirteen, Grimsley with the lead one forty three.

2608
02:10:08,600 --> 02:10:12,440
Speaker 4: Left to play. As weird as this sounds, right West Charlotte,

2609
02:10:12,560 --> 02:10:16,360
Speaker 4: they're down eight. Of all possible outcomes, that was the

2610
02:10:16,440 --> 02:10:20,160
Speaker 4: best one. They're gonna get the ball back. We're gonna

2611
02:10:20,160 --> 02:10:22,200
Speaker 4: back up on the kickoff here, so they'll have a

2612
02:10:22,280 --> 02:10:24,720
Speaker 4: decent chance for some good field position, probably close to

2613
02:10:24,800 --> 02:10:28,839
Speaker 4: midfield after the kickoff, and they're down eight. If I'm Grimsley,

2614
02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:31,920
Speaker 4: everyone's celebrating. If I'm on West Charlotte sideline, I'm kind

2615
02:10:31,920 --> 02:10:34,800
Speaker 4: of happy they scored right there, because again, Grimsy could

2616
02:10:35,240 --> 02:10:37,840
Speaker 4: run this game out and well Charlotte might have had

2617
02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:40,920
Speaker 4: one play, maybe two at the absolute most, so.

2618
02:10:43,040 --> 02:10:46,080
Speaker 5: Given where they were three and a half minutes ago.

2619
02:10:46,120 --> 02:10:50,160
Speaker 4: Of real time, West Charlotte's probably in the best possible scenario.

2620
02:10:50,200 --> 02:10:52,040
Speaker 4: But I just want to go back to most teams

2621
02:10:52,080 --> 02:10:54,800
Speaker 4: are not kicking a lot of pats or i'm sorry,

2622
02:10:54,960 --> 02:10:58,160
Speaker 4: a lot of field goals beyond like Pat Range, so

2623
02:10:58,680 --> 02:11:01,720
Speaker 4: I would have really conceive that are daring them to

2624
02:11:01,840 --> 02:11:04,120
Speaker 4: try to kick a pat because I would rather go

2625
02:11:04,360 --> 02:11:06,920
Speaker 4: for two for the win, because I don't think we're

2626
02:11:06,960 --> 02:11:10,600
Speaker 4: kicking another pat if I'm West Charlotte, but go for

2627
02:11:10,680 --> 02:11:16,160
Speaker 4: two for the win versus two for the tie. I've

2628
02:11:16,160 --> 02:11:17,840
Speaker 4: got a day job, but I could have helped him

2629
02:11:17,880 --> 02:11:21,680
Speaker 4: both of these situations here at least at least at

2630
02:11:21,760 --> 02:11:25,400
Speaker 4: least give the options. There's some options here, but this

2631
02:11:25,440 --> 02:11:28,360
Speaker 4: should be an exciting last minute forty three no timeouts again,

2632
02:11:28,440 --> 02:11:31,240
Speaker 4: but in high school football, with the way the clock stop,

2633
02:11:32,560 --> 02:11:34,560
Speaker 4: it should be enough time to make a long drive.

2634
02:11:34,840 --> 02:11:37,960
Speaker 3: End of game strategy one oh one with JJ Jansen

2635
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:39,040
Speaker 3: here at the end of the broadcast.

2636
02:11:39,120 --> 02:11:41,040
Speaker 5: This is four oh one. This is advanced level that

2637
02:11:41,120 --> 02:11:42,440
Speaker 5: the listeners are getting.

2638
02:11:42,280 --> 02:11:43,880
Speaker 4: Master's level stuff. That's right.

2639
02:11:44,840 --> 02:11:48,080
Speaker 3: Just Seer Gray and Daveon Jones back to receive the

2640
02:11:48,200 --> 02:11:52,320
Speaker 3: kickoff for West Charlotte. Chase hull Mantle will tee it

2641
02:11:52,400 --> 02:11:55,839
Speaker 3: up at the twenty five yard line, so he's blooped

2642
02:11:55,920 --> 02:11:56,720
Speaker 3: the first two.

2643
02:11:57,200 --> 02:11:59,400
Speaker 4: Off to the right, and there's still not anyone from

2644
02:11:59,440 --> 02:12:03,800
Speaker 4: West Charlott standing over there, although Danta Nicholson's beginning to drift.

2645
02:12:03,880 --> 02:12:08,040
Speaker 4: Maybe their sensing where this is going. Here's hugh'll Mantle

2646
02:12:09,920 --> 02:12:10,920
Speaker 4: gets a foot into this one.

2647
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:15,480
Speaker 3: J Justir Gray makes the catch coming near side, nearly

2648
02:12:15,560 --> 02:12:18,240
Speaker 3: tripped up. He's got a couple of blockers across midfield

2649
02:12:18,920 --> 02:12:22,360
Speaker 3: and falls at the Grimsley forty six yard line.

2650
02:12:23,080 --> 02:12:25,520
Speaker 4: So if there's a chance, and there is with one.

2651
02:12:25,480 --> 02:12:27,760
Speaker 3: Thirty five left to go, West Charlotte got a big

2652
02:12:27,800 --> 02:12:31,080
Speaker 3: break right there with a nice kickoff return by Juster Gray.

2653
02:12:32,720 --> 02:12:34,760
Speaker 4: So they're gonna get this ball across the fifty yard

2654
02:12:34,800 --> 02:12:39,080
Speaker 4: line a minute thirty five and really really nice run

2655
02:12:39,160 --> 02:12:41,680
Speaker 4: there by j Justir Gray getting all the way around.

2656
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:46,640
Speaker 4: And another bit hit by Davian Jones number fourteen. We

2657
02:12:46,760 --> 02:12:49,160
Speaker 4: talked about him in in the beginning. He's just a dude.

2658
02:12:49,240 --> 02:12:52,240
Speaker 4: So he's rocked about three or four guys.

2659
02:12:52,320 --> 02:12:52,440
Speaker 2: Here.

2660
02:12:52,920 --> 02:12:55,240
Speaker 3: Here's Nichols on first down and ten from the forty

2661
02:12:55,360 --> 02:12:59,320
Speaker 3: six in trouble, but gets away streaking for the first

2662
02:12:59,360 --> 02:13:02,200
Speaker 3: down marker, and I believe he got it inside the

2663
02:13:02,280 --> 02:13:05,520
Speaker 3: thirty five out of bounds at the thirty four yard line.

2664
02:13:05,600 --> 02:13:08,640
Speaker 3: A twelve yard scamper for Jamori Nichols on first down,

2665
02:13:08,840 --> 02:13:10,680
Speaker 3: and I got to point out we still have a

2666
02:13:10,960 --> 02:13:12,400
Speaker 3: you know, West Charlotte still has.

2667
02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:13,240
Speaker 4: To do the thing here.

2668
02:13:13,600 --> 02:13:16,440
Speaker 3: But a lot of dumb c fans exited this building

2669
02:13:16,760 --> 02:13:20,160
Speaker 3: as soon as Grimsley scored a touchdown, and the Lions

2670
02:13:20,200 --> 02:13:22,320
Speaker 3: are just thirty four yards out from a touchdown and

2671
02:13:22,400 --> 02:13:24,360
Speaker 3: a chance to tie this thing up. I'm just throwing

2672
02:13:24,440 --> 02:13:26,600
Speaker 3: that out there. I know we're broadcasting into the concourse

2673
02:13:26,720 --> 02:13:27,879
Speaker 3: right now. He's bank of Americans.

2674
02:13:27,960 --> 02:13:28,360
Speaker 4: Go back.

2675
02:13:28,560 --> 02:13:30,480
Speaker 3: You may want to go back to your book. You

2676
02:13:30,640 --> 02:13:32,160
Speaker 3: might want to go back to your seat to check

2677
02:13:32,240 --> 02:13:34,360
Speaker 3: this out. Here we go first and ten from the

2678
02:13:34,440 --> 02:13:37,240
Speaker 3: thirty four far side, hash going left to right, Nichols,

2679
02:13:37,320 --> 02:13:37,920
Speaker 3: we'll run again.

2680
02:13:38,320 --> 02:13:40,920
Speaker 4: That should be that should have been a face mask

2681
02:13:41,040 --> 02:13:41,800
Speaker 4: what I thought too.

2682
02:13:41,920 --> 02:13:44,000
Speaker 3: Still a healthy gain on first down, but the West

2683
02:13:44,080 --> 02:13:48,200
Speaker 3: Charlotte sideline is apoplectic. They wanted a penalty for a

2684
02:13:48,280 --> 02:13:50,040
Speaker 3: face mask. And it sure looked like one from up

2685
02:13:50,080 --> 02:13:52,960
Speaker 3: here that that was as clear as can be.

2686
02:13:53,200 --> 02:13:56,080
Speaker 4: I mean, his whole helmet moved off of his head,

2687
02:13:56,120 --> 02:14:00,880
Speaker 4: and I can't believe nobody saw that. All Right, here

2688
02:14:00,960 --> 02:14:01,160
Speaker 4: we go.

2689
02:14:03,720 --> 02:14:10,920
Speaker 3: Going up top far sideline and they're saying it's incomplete.

2690
02:14:12,360 --> 02:14:14,760
Speaker 3: It looked like the ball was hauled in by number

2691
02:14:14,880 --> 02:14:16,200
Speaker 3: two Dante Nicholson.

2692
02:14:16,320 --> 02:14:19,880
Speaker 4: Let's check the replay. Beauty of a throw one handed catch. Oh,

2693
02:14:19,960 --> 02:14:20,360
Speaker 4: I don't know.

2694
02:14:20,520 --> 02:14:21,560
Speaker 5: Come on, let's see.

2695
02:14:21,800 --> 02:14:23,880
Speaker 4: Look at this Dante Nicholson.

2696
02:14:24,360 --> 02:14:25,120
Speaker 5: Oh, the ball.

2697
02:14:25,000 --> 02:14:27,280
Speaker 3: Bounced on the turf. Okay, that was the right call.

2698
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:30,760
Speaker 3: Nice job by the far side official. It's easy to

2699
02:14:30,880 --> 02:14:32,160
Speaker 3: just want officials when they get him wrong.

2700
02:14:32,200 --> 02:14:32,880
Speaker 4: But that was the right car.

2701
02:14:32,960 --> 02:14:34,600
Speaker 5: You were gonna tell me he was wrong if he was.

2702
02:14:35,520 --> 02:14:35,760
Speaker 4: Wow.

2703
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:38,720
Speaker 3: What an effort though by Dante Nicholson, who's had himself

2704
02:14:38,800 --> 02:14:42,600
Speaker 3: a game here tonight. Clock stops with fifty three seconds

2705
02:14:42,680 --> 02:14:45,760
Speaker 3: left to go twenty one to thirteen, Grimsly with an

2706
02:14:45,760 --> 02:14:50,280
Speaker 3: eight point advantage, but West Charlotte with a chance third

2707
02:14:50,320 --> 02:14:54,839
Speaker 3: and four from the twenty eight yard line of the Whorlies,

2708
02:14:55,680 --> 02:15:00,960
Speaker 3: the crowd getting loud. Here here's Nichols hands off up

2709
02:15:01,040 --> 02:15:03,640
Speaker 3: the middle to Emory McClain and mcclan.

2710
02:15:04,800 --> 02:15:07,040
Speaker 4: Charging toward the first down marker. And I believe he

2711
02:15:07,080 --> 02:15:09,560
Speaker 4: got it. And that's big because that also stopped the

2712
02:15:09,640 --> 02:15:12,360
Speaker 4: clock as the chain's move and West Charlotte's moving quickly

2713
02:15:12,400 --> 02:15:14,200
Speaker 4: here to be able to snap as soon as this

2714
02:15:14,400 --> 02:15:18,920
Speaker 4: resets down to forty seconds, clock restarts now thirty eight

2715
02:15:19,000 --> 02:15:22,240
Speaker 4: and moving snap back to Nickels straight drop coming near.

2716
02:15:22,200 --> 02:15:25,000
Speaker 3: Side, has a man catch made at the five yard line,

2717
02:15:25,680 --> 02:15:30,600
Speaker 3: sliding out of bounds. Number eight Racaem Finch with his

2718
02:15:30,760 --> 02:15:36,200
Speaker 3: biggest catch of the night, the air force comit has

2719
02:15:36,280 --> 02:15:39,120
Speaker 3: his team first in goal at the five yard line.

2720
02:15:39,160 --> 02:15:40,720
Speaker 4: And that's the best throw of the night too from

2721
02:15:40,800 --> 02:15:44,160
Speaker 4: Jamury Nichols, a big out route about twenty five yards

2722
02:15:44,240 --> 02:15:46,440
Speaker 4: down the field and really nice throw.

2723
02:15:46,560 --> 02:15:49,440
Speaker 3: West Charlotte fans, I implore you get back to your seats.

2724
02:15:50,160 --> 02:15:52,160
Speaker 5: They're starting to come back. They're coming back.

2725
02:15:56,280 --> 02:15:58,720
Speaker 3: And now a time out taken by Grimsley and the

2726
02:15:58,760 --> 02:16:02,760
Speaker 3: West Charlotte faithful loves it. Thirty two seconds on the

2727
02:16:02,800 --> 02:16:05,880
Speaker 3: game clock, first down and goal from the five. The

2728
02:16:06,040 --> 02:16:09,960
Speaker 3: Lions have made a litany of mistakes tonight, three turnovers,

2729
02:16:11,080 --> 02:16:13,440
Speaker 3: drives that have stalled, wasted opportunities.

2730
02:16:14,720 --> 02:16:16,800
Speaker 4: But they've got a chance here with thirty two.

2731
02:16:16,800 --> 02:16:20,280
Speaker 3: Seconds to play, to score a touchdown and then a

2732
02:16:20,320 --> 02:16:22,960
Speaker 3: two point conversion to potentially tie this game up.

2733
02:16:26,040 --> 02:16:28,120
Speaker 4: So this is kind of an interesting scenario. Your best

2734
02:16:28,160 --> 02:16:32,560
Speaker 4: player right now is Nichols. He's running, he's throwing. If

2735
02:16:32,600 --> 02:16:35,160
Speaker 4: I'm coach Grinder, I got thirty two seconds, I want

2736
02:16:35,360 --> 02:16:38,440
Speaker 4: four plays at the end zone. So I think every

2737
02:16:38,560 --> 02:16:41,040
Speaker 4: one of these plays is at least a throwing option.

2738
02:16:41,200 --> 02:16:43,160
Speaker 4: And if I'm Nickels, and I'm telling him right now

2739
02:16:43,240 --> 02:16:49,400
Speaker 4: in the huddle, hey, everything's either a throw or we

2740
02:16:49,520 --> 02:16:51,400
Speaker 4: are running it into the end zone. And if you

2741
02:16:51,520 --> 02:16:53,840
Speaker 4: can't get in, throw it away. So you're putting a

2742
02:16:53,879 --> 02:16:57,600
Speaker 4: lot on Nichols. I don't like any designed runs. Right

2743
02:16:57,640 --> 02:16:59,880
Speaker 4: before that time out, there was actually a designed run

2744
02:17:00,000 --> 02:17:02,800
Speaker 4: and they blew it dead. I don't want to design

2745
02:17:02,879 --> 02:17:05,760
Speaker 4: run here because it probably limits me to one, maybe

2746
02:17:05,840 --> 02:17:10,160
Speaker 4: two more shots. Got single coverage off to the left

2747
02:17:10,240 --> 02:17:14,480
Speaker 4: there with with Dante Nicholson, and I wouldn't mind finding

2748
02:17:14,520 --> 02:17:15,480
Speaker 4: some single coverage here.

2749
02:17:15,800 --> 02:17:18,400
Speaker 3: First and goal from the five, Nicholson gives to mcclaan

2750
02:17:18,520 --> 02:17:21,160
Speaker 3: McLain up the gut, met by a couple of defenders.

2751
02:17:21,560 --> 02:17:24,400
Speaker 3: Did the ball come out again? It looked to me

2752
02:17:24,440 --> 02:17:26,680
Speaker 3: that his forward progress should have been stopped. The issue

2753
02:17:26,720 --> 02:17:28,920
Speaker 3: now is that the clock continues to roll inside of

2754
02:17:28,959 --> 02:17:29,680
Speaker 3: twenty seconds.

2755
02:17:29,959 --> 02:17:31,520
Speaker 4: West Charlotte has no timeouts.

2756
02:17:31,520 --> 02:17:33,440
Speaker 3: They've got to get on the football down to fifteen

2757
02:17:33,959 --> 02:17:37,560
Speaker 3: second down from the two, and they clock it with

2758
02:17:37,760 --> 02:17:39,160
Speaker 3: twelve seconds left to play.

2759
02:17:40,000 --> 02:17:42,160
Speaker 4: And right there is my concern why you don't want

2760
02:17:42,200 --> 02:17:45,240
Speaker 4: to run the ball. So the first down starts at

2761
02:17:45,280 --> 02:17:49,840
Speaker 4: thirty two seconds. They get a three yard run. Clock

2762
02:17:50,080 --> 02:17:53,440
Speaker 4: runs twenty seconds go by, and they all they have

2763
02:17:53,560 --> 02:17:55,200
Speaker 4: to do is spike. So they're gonna get two plays

2764
02:17:55,240 --> 02:17:56,840
Speaker 4: as long as they throw it into the end zone

2765
02:17:57,200 --> 02:17:59,800
Speaker 4: here on the first play, and not sure what is

2766
02:17:59,840 --> 02:18:02,560
Speaker 4: happened that they have stopped the clock because the play

2767
02:18:02,600 --> 02:18:05,080
Speaker 4: clock is running and the coaches are on the field.

2768
02:18:05,080 --> 02:18:08,840
Speaker 4: Here we got nineteen seconds, they got a hustle, not

2769
02:18:08,959 --> 02:18:12,360
Speaker 4: a lot of urgency. Play clock has been reset.

2770
02:18:12,520 --> 02:18:20,560
Speaker 3: Now now at thirty four seconds, Nichols in the backfield,

2771
02:18:20,640 --> 02:18:24,240
Speaker 3: McClain to his right. Nichols takes the snap, a cavalcade

2772
02:18:24,240 --> 02:18:25,119
Speaker 3: of blockers.

2773
02:18:24,760 --> 02:18:25,360
Speaker 5: In front of him.

2774
02:18:25,400 --> 02:18:27,959
Speaker 4: Touchdown Jamary Nichols.

2775
02:18:30,040 --> 02:18:34,040
Speaker 3: From two yards out, his second rushing touchdown of the night.

2776
02:18:34,720 --> 02:18:39,200
Speaker 3: It's twenty one to nineteen, and the Lions, left for

2777
02:18:39,360 --> 02:18:42,320
Speaker 3: dead a couple of minutes ago, have a chance to

2778
02:18:42,480 --> 02:18:51,480
Speaker 3: tie it up with a two point conversion. All right,

2779
02:18:51,560 --> 02:18:55,520
Speaker 3: JJ Jansen, you're Sam Grinder? Where are you going here?

2780
02:18:55,920 --> 02:18:57,680
Speaker 4: I mean, the only guy that can touch the ball

2781
02:18:57,720 --> 02:19:00,520
Speaker 4: is Jamuri Nichols, right like That's that to me as

2782
02:19:00,560 --> 02:19:02,119
Speaker 4: clear as day. Now, how do you do you want

2783
02:19:02,120 --> 02:19:04,120
Speaker 4: to give him a run pass option like that last

2784
02:19:04,200 --> 02:19:06,680
Speaker 4: play appeared to be kind of turned into just kind

2785
02:19:06,680 --> 02:19:10,879
Speaker 4: of a quarterback run, but it was definitely a run

2786
02:19:11,000 --> 02:19:16,200
Speaker 4: pass option. And feels like this regulation is gonna come

2787
02:19:16,280 --> 02:19:18,560
Speaker 4: down to can Nichols get it in on his own.

2788
02:19:18,440 --> 02:19:22,160
Speaker 3: One way or another. Here's the play snap back to Nickels,

2789
02:19:22,240 --> 02:19:25,600
Speaker 3: drifty left. He's got a lade scampering left side tie

2790
02:19:26,000 --> 02:19:29,320
Speaker 3: ball game twenty one apiece. Jamoury Nichols do it at

2791
02:19:29,360 --> 02:19:37,280
Speaker 3: all for dumb c What a ball game here at

2792
02:19:37,320 --> 02:19:38,520
Speaker 3: Bank of America Stadium.

2793
02:19:40,600 --> 02:19:42,400
Speaker 4: They left him minute and thirty on the clock for

2794
02:19:42,480 --> 02:19:47,320
Speaker 4: Jamury Nichols. So an unbelievable drive there for West Charlotte.

2795
02:19:48,040 --> 02:19:50,080
Speaker 4: Nichols takes over. He gets a little bit of help

2796
02:19:50,160 --> 02:19:53,120
Speaker 4: on a nice out route there by Dante Nicholson going in.

2797
02:19:54,520 --> 02:19:59,400
Speaker 4: I have to reset fifteen minutes ago this game was over.

2798
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:03,600
Speaker 4: It's Grimsley having a one point lead and they choose

2799
02:20:03,720 --> 02:20:07,160
Speaker 4: to score and give the ball back to Jamie Nichols

2800
02:20:07,800 --> 02:20:10,840
Speaker 4: and this West Charlotte offense. And when we talk about

2801
02:20:10,920 --> 02:20:16,760
Speaker 4: situational football, teams that master the situations win more often

2802
02:20:16,800 --> 02:20:19,400
Speaker 4: than not. And we've got tons of great coaches and

2803
02:20:19,520 --> 02:20:22,920
Speaker 4: tons of great players. But Grimsley had a shot to

2804
02:20:23,200 --> 02:20:25,680
Speaker 4: end this game with the ball in their hand, and

2805
02:20:27,120 --> 02:20:30,160
Speaker 4: West Charlotte gets a massive, massive break.

2806
02:20:30,280 --> 02:20:33,840
Speaker 3: And I'm in awe as to how many West Charlotte

2807
02:20:33,840 --> 02:20:35,080
Speaker 3: fans have re entered this day.

2808
02:20:34,959 --> 02:20:37,040
Speaker 5: And then where they're coming back. They hurt us in

2809
02:20:37,120 --> 02:20:37,800
Speaker 5: the concourse?

2810
02:20:37,959 --> 02:20:40,480
Speaker 3: How about that we've used our powers for good here tonight,

2811
02:20:40,560 --> 02:20:43,640
Speaker 3: West Charlotte fans, welcome back to the action. Eight seconds

2812
02:20:43,720 --> 02:20:46,880
Speaker 3: left to go, and barring a special team's miracle here

2813
02:20:46,920 --> 02:20:50,279
Speaker 3: from Grimsley, it looks like we're headed for overtime.

2814
02:20:50,480 --> 02:20:53,240
Speaker 4: Here are the keep pounding classic. I think you want

2815
02:20:53,280 --> 02:20:56,560
Speaker 4: to kick this ball as deep as possible with a

2816
02:20:56,640 --> 02:21:00,520
Speaker 4: big arm like Faison Brandon, want to keep him out

2817
02:21:00,560 --> 02:21:04,160
Speaker 4: of hail. Mary range ands it is a short kick

2818
02:21:04,240 --> 02:21:07,039
Speaker 4: and they went for a fair catch, so so Grimsley takes.

2819
02:21:06,920 --> 02:21:07,400
Speaker 5: A fair catch.

2820
02:21:07,400 --> 02:21:09,680
Speaker 4: There they're saying, hey, we want one maybe two plays,

2821
02:21:09,760 --> 02:21:12,800
Speaker 4: So what do I imagine happening? They got one time out.

2822
02:21:13,040 --> 02:21:14,560
Speaker 4: If they don't get a look they like, they can

2823
02:21:14,640 --> 02:21:19,560
Speaker 4: easily burn one. What is the arm strength of Phason Brandon?

2824
02:21:19,640 --> 02:21:21,000
Speaker 4: Does he need to be at the fifty? Does he

2825
02:21:21,080 --> 02:21:25,920
Speaker 4: need to be at the plus forty five eight, so

2826
02:21:26,000 --> 02:21:28,640
Speaker 4: that the minus thirty eight eight seconds is more than

2827
02:21:28,879 --> 02:21:32,040
Speaker 4: enough to get twelve thirteen yards and burn a timeout

2828
02:21:32,520 --> 02:21:34,160
Speaker 4: and have a shot at hail Mary range, so there

2829
02:21:34,240 --> 02:21:38,600
Speaker 4: is still time. I'll be curious to see what Grimsly

2830
02:21:38,680 --> 02:21:39,360
Speaker 4: dials up here.

2831
02:21:39,280 --> 02:21:40,000
Speaker 5: On this first play.

2832
02:21:40,280 --> 02:21:45,080
Speaker 3: Kayen Battle, Hudson, Cooper, Cayden Cato. The wide receivers on

2833
02:21:45,160 --> 02:21:47,520
Speaker 3: the field, DJ Howards in the tight end. Also in

2834
02:21:47,600 --> 02:21:50,840
Speaker 3: the formation, Michael Williams to the left of Brandon Fazon.

2835
02:21:50,920 --> 02:21:55,280
Speaker 3: Williams takes the handoff on first down and is tackled

2836
02:21:55,360 --> 02:21:59,119
Speaker 3: at the thirty nine and we're going to overtime, folks.

2837
02:22:00,080 --> 02:22:02,640
Speaker 3: Us Charlotte Lyons got the ball back with a minute

2838
02:22:02,680 --> 02:22:06,280
Speaker 3: thirty five down by eight with no timeouts, and Jamoury

2839
02:22:06,360 --> 02:22:09,840
Speaker 3: Nichols put on a show and brought the Lions fans

2840
02:22:09,920 --> 02:22:13,000
Speaker 3: back into the building twenty one all and we're getting

2841
02:22:13,040 --> 02:22:14,400
Speaker 3: free football here at the bank.

2842
02:22:14,480 --> 02:22:15,959
Speaker 4: We'll bring it to you on the other side.

2843
02:22:15,959 --> 02:22:19,080

Speaker 3: and we're getting more headed to overtime here in Uptown Charlotte.

2849

2850
02:22:43,120 --> 02:22:47,360
Speaker 3: School Classic twenty twenty five edition, Game number two, going

2851
02:22:47,440 --> 02:22:51,520
Speaker 3: to overtime. West Charlotte Lyons quarterback Jamury Nichols took the

2852
02:22:51,600 --> 02:22:54,040
Speaker 3: football with a minute thirty five left to play, his

2853
02:22:54,200 --> 02:22:58,520
Speaker 3: team trailing twenty one to thirteen, no timeouts remaining, and

2854
02:22:58,640 --> 02:23:02,160
Speaker 3: Nichols put the squad on his back. Some big plays

2855
02:23:02,520 --> 02:23:05,960
Speaker 3: and a couple of rushing touchdowns, including a two point

2856
02:23:06,040 --> 02:23:09,440
Speaker 3: conversion attempt to tie the game up, and the Lions

2857
02:23:09,520 --> 02:23:12,560
Speaker 3: fans that were streaming toward the exits have come rushing

2858
02:23:12,680 --> 02:23:15,960
Speaker 3: back into the building to take in the overtime period.

2859
02:23:16,040 --> 02:23:18,000
Speaker 3: And listen, you and I have been trying to keep

2860
02:23:18,080 --> 02:23:20,000
Speaker 3: up with the action of the entire way and this

2861
02:23:20,120 --> 02:23:21,480
Speaker 3: has been a breakneck pace.

2862
02:23:21,320 --> 02:23:23,080
Speaker 4: And a whole lot of fun down the stretch. JJ.

2863
02:23:23,240 --> 02:23:25,560
Speaker 4: This has been an absolute blast, and we get overtime

2864
02:23:25,959 --> 02:23:28,680
Speaker 4: in game two of what's been two fantastic games and

2865
02:23:28,720 --> 02:23:32,560
Speaker 4: the Keep Pounding Classic and my old teammate Trey Boston's

2866
02:23:32,560 --> 02:23:34,400
Speaker 4: on the field that he doesn't even have a script anymore.

2867
02:23:34,440 --> 02:23:37,800
Speaker 5: He is just he is leading the two of posting student.

2868
02:23:37,520 --> 02:23:41,520
Speaker 4: Body in the stands and he's having a blast. And

2869
02:23:41,800 --> 02:23:44,320
Speaker 4: this has been an unbelievable event. And we've had two

2870
02:23:44,360 --> 02:23:48,400
Speaker 4: great teams and we get overtime football, and it's gonna

2871
02:23:48,400 --> 02:23:51,480
Speaker 4: be exciting to watch this because we're gonna we're getting

2872
02:23:51,480 --> 02:23:53,360
Speaker 4: little different rules here. Once we get set up, we'll

2873
02:23:53,400 --> 02:23:58,840
Speaker 4: explain them. But high school football, it's Matt, It's whoever gets.

2874
02:23:58,680 --> 02:23:59,720
Speaker 5: The ball first. There's a match.

2875
02:23:59,760 --> 02:24:02,240
Speaker 4: There's strategy to this, and I've always been a big

2876
02:24:02,280 --> 02:24:04,640
Speaker 4: fan of taking the ball second here, So whoever wins

2877
02:24:04,680 --> 02:24:07,440
Speaker 4: the toss, I would imagine once to defer go on

2878
02:24:07,640 --> 02:24:12,520
Speaker 4: defense first. And I don't know if I'm if I'm

2879
02:24:12,560 --> 02:24:15,480
Speaker 4: Grimsley right now, just based on the energy in the

2880
02:24:15,520 --> 02:24:17,560
Speaker 4: corner that's right in front of us, I do not

2881
02:24:17,680 --> 02:24:19,920
Speaker 4: want to play overtime in front of the West Charlotte

2882
02:24:20,320 --> 02:24:23,480
Speaker 4: fan base and their band. You guys could probably hear

2883
02:24:23,560 --> 02:24:26,040
Speaker 4: the band, yeah, come across the airwaves. They've been going

2884
02:24:26,080 --> 02:24:29,080
Speaker 4: all night. It's been fantastic. I'd be curious to see.

2885
02:24:29,120 --> 02:24:31,880
Speaker 4: And Sam Grinder went out for the coin toss. So

2886
02:24:31,920 --> 02:24:35,520
Speaker 4: there's not a player out there. Uh, Coach Grinder just

2887
02:24:35,600 --> 02:24:39,360
Speaker 4: went straight out there. So that's fantastic. Coach Grinder out

2888
02:24:39,400 --> 02:24:43,039
Speaker 4: representing his Lions. Faison Brandon, the Grimsley quarterback out there

2889
02:24:43,080 --> 02:24:43,760
Speaker 4: for the toss.

2890
02:24:43,760 --> 02:24:46,439
Speaker 5: Too, I've seen that. That's fantastic.

2891
02:24:46,560 --> 02:24:46,760
Speaker 4: Wow.

2892
02:24:46,879 --> 02:24:49,680
Speaker 3: While we wait for the decision here, we want to

2893
02:24:49,720 --> 02:24:52,600
Speaker 3: remind you the Whataburger Player of the Game is yet

2894
02:24:52,640 --> 02:24:56,240
Speaker 3: to be determined, and we got multiple multiple players out

2895
02:24:56,240 --> 02:24:58,959
Speaker 3: there vying for the honor tonight. If the West Charlotte

2896
02:24:58,959 --> 02:25:01,600
Speaker 3: Lions win, I think Jamori Nichols has wrapped up the

2897
02:25:01,640 --> 02:25:04,480
Speaker 3: award for his squad. On the other side, though, you know,

2898
02:25:04,640 --> 02:25:07,920
Speaker 3: Faison Brandon, he's got a touchdown pass, he's got it

2899
02:25:08,040 --> 02:25:09,760
Speaker 3: more of a volume of work, let's say.

2900
02:25:10,160 --> 02:25:12,119
Speaker 4: But running back Micah Williams.

2901
02:25:11,800 --> 02:25:15,000
Speaker 3: Has scored twice tonight for Grimsley despite not having a

2902
02:25:15,080 --> 02:25:16,920
Speaker 3: ton of yardage, So we have some decisions to make.

2903
02:25:17,040 --> 02:25:21,080
Speaker 4: JJ Jansen Yeah, I mean, quite frankly, it'd be nice

2904
02:25:21,080 --> 02:25:22,720
Speaker 4: if West Charlotte one. It would just be really easy

2905
02:25:22,760 --> 02:25:24,280
Speaker 4: for us because that's about as clear as can be.

2906
02:25:24,640 --> 02:25:26,720
Speaker 4: It's been more of a team effort for Grimsley, and

2907
02:25:28,440 --> 02:25:30,960
Speaker 4: maybe this overtime will kind of tilt the scale. So

2908
02:25:31,040 --> 02:25:35,200
Speaker 4: we are coming down. Grimsley is going on offense first,

2909
02:25:35,320 --> 02:25:38,000
Speaker 4: and they've got to go in front of this West

2910
02:25:38,080 --> 02:25:42,040
Speaker 4: Charlotte student body and band, and just as we predicted,

2911
02:25:43,520 --> 02:25:45,680
Speaker 4: defer and get and get your end that you really

2912
02:25:45,720 --> 02:25:46,520
Speaker 4: want to be in front of.

2913
02:25:48,040 --> 02:25:52,320
Speaker 5: Good for West Charlotte. It's a field, go ahead.

2914
02:25:52,480 --> 02:25:55,760
Speaker 3: It's a field littered with future collegiate football players. Some

2915
02:25:55,959 --> 02:25:59,119
Speaker 3: may go on to play on Sundays with Friday night lights.

2916
02:25:59,240 --> 02:26:02,080
Speaker 3: Is what it's all about. Out They remember a game

2917
02:26:02,200 --> 02:26:06,360
Speaker 3: like this for the rest of their lives and this

2918
02:26:06,440 --> 02:26:08,240
Speaker 3: has been a fantastic game. So just in case you

2919
02:26:08,280 --> 02:26:10,000
Speaker 3: don't know high school rules here. So the ball's been

2920
02:26:10,040 --> 02:26:11,119
Speaker 3: put on the ten yard line.

2921
02:26:11,560 --> 02:26:13,520
Speaker 4: Grimsley's gonna get it first, and they're gonna choose to

2922
02:26:13,560 --> 02:26:15,640
Speaker 4: put this ball on the left hash. They get that choice,

2923
02:26:15,640 --> 02:26:19,080
Speaker 4: and they're actually gonna move it again because Grimsley's they

2924
02:26:19,120 --> 02:26:21,840
Speaker 4: wanted the ball in the left middle. So that's coming

2925
02:26:21,879 --> 02:26:24,640
Speaker 4: from the bench. They got four downs to score. They

2926
02:26:24,680 --> 02:26:26,160
Speaker 4: can do whatever they want. They can they can go

2927
02:26:26,360 --> 02:26:27,880
Speaker 4: for a touchdown and go for a field goal at

2928
02:26:28,040 --> 02:26:30,240
Speaker 4: the end of four downs. I'd imagine this is four

2929
02:26:30,280 --> 02:26:34,000
Speaker 4: down territory the whole way, and then West Charlotte will

2930
02:26:34,000 --> 02:26:36,720
Speaker 4: have a chance to count. The only reason it wouldn't

2931
02:26:37,240 --> 02:26:40,320
Speaker 4: is a turnover that results in a touchdown run all

2932
02:26:40,360 --> 02:26:42,800
Speaker 4: the way back. So both teams should get a shot

2933
02:26:42,879 --> 02:26:45,360
Speaker 4: here and we'll just do this as long as until

2934
02:26:45,360 --> 02:26:48,400
Speaker 4: we get a winner. Something tells me it's not gonna

2935
02:26:48,400 --> 02:26:50,879
Speaker 4: take too long. We'll see though.

2936
02:26:51,800 --> 02:26:54,760
Speaker 3: Grimsley will get the football first. Fazon Brandon leading the

2937
02:26:54,840 --> 02:26:58,520
Speaker 3: offense out onto the field. Kaien Battle the wide receiver

2938
02:26:58,640 --> 02:27:02,520
Speaker 3: to the far side, it's number one, Cayden Cato to

2939
02:27:02,600 --> 02:27:05,320
Speaker 3: the near side, Michael Williams in the backfield, Grimsley going

2940
02:27:05,400 --> 02:27:07,879
Speaker 3: right to left. Balls on the ten yard line middle

2941
02:27:07,920 --> 02:27:11,320
Speaker 3: of the field, Hard Counts gets a lion to jump

2942
02:27:12,760 --> 02:27:17,640
Speaker 3: and Sam Johnson the guilty party right there. Not a

2943
02:27:17,680 --> 02:27:20,320
Speaker 3: great start for West Charlotte here in the overtime period.

2944
02:27:20,120 --> 02:27:23,039
Speaker 4: And uh, I have to appreciate even in a stressful moment,

2945
02:27:23,200 --> 02:27:25,920
Speaker 4: Nick Cashumar, who got knocked over Gunna knocked on his back,

2946
02:27:26,160 --> 02:27:28,160
Speaker 4: got right back up and ran and got right back

2947
02:27:28,200 --> 02:27:31,440
Speaker 4: into position, having a little fun. There's still kids and

2948
02:27:31,480 --> 02:27:33,720
Speaker 4: they're still having the time of their lives. So a

2949
02:27:33,800 --> 02:27:35,680
Speaker 4: funny way to start here, no doubt about it.

2950
02:27:36,920 --> 02:27:39,120
Speaker 3: I Dj howardson the tight end on the right side

2951
02:27:39,120 --> 02:27:41,880
Speaker 3: of the formation, Hudson Cooper the wing back right behind him.

2952
02:27:42,040 --> 02:27:47,840
Speaker 3: Here's Faison Brandon shotgun snap quarterback keeper left side down

2953
02:27:47,920 --> 02:27:49,880
Speaker 3: to the four yard line to pick up of one

2954
02:27:51,480 --> 02:27:53,800
Speaker 3: that'll bring up second down from the four yard line.

2955
02:27:55,080 --> 02:27:57,080
Speaker 4: I'm going and go a little bit quicker here Kaden

2956
02:27:57,120 --> 02:28:00,560
Speaker 4: Smith had had the tackle, and you here at the

2957
02:28:00,600 --> 02:28:01,400
Speaker 4: four yard line.

2958
02:28:01,440 --> 02:28:02,520
Speaker 5: This is four down territory.

2959
02:28:02,680 --> 02:28:05,200
Speaker 4: I would be really surprised if we see anything other

2960
02:28:05,280 --> 02:28:08,760
Speaker 4: than a run or maybe a quick pass. And West

2961
02:28:08,800 --> 02:28:11,240
Speaker 4: Charlotte's pack in the box. There's nine guys within three

2962
02:28:11,280 --> 02:28:14,080
Speaker 4: yards of the line of scrimmage. Here is Grimsly looks

2963
02:28:14,080 --> 02:28:16,480
Speaker 4: at the sideline to get the audible from their offensive play.

2964
02:28:16,320 --> 02:28:20,760
Speaker 3: Callers exact same formation, Michael Williams to the right of

2965
02:28:20,800 --> 02:28:23,280
Speaker 3: his quarterback fase On Brandon. But a flag comes in

2966
02:28:23,440 --> 02:28:24,680
Speaker 3: before the snap gets off.

2967
02:28:29,400 --> 02:28:30,959
Speaker 5: I think we're gonna get a false start.

2968
02:28:36,240 --> 02:28:40,920
Speaker 4: On the defense encroachment the second procedural penalty. I think

2969
02:28:40,959 --> 02:28:42,760
Speaker 4: the alliance I did not see it.

2970
02:28:44,480 --> 02:28:50,760
Speaker 5: I was looking right in the area and didn't see it.

2971
02:28:52,440 --> 02:28:59,920
Speaker 3: Number zero, Sam Johnson balls on the three yard line two. Actually,

2972
02:29:00,240 --> 02:29:04,280
Speaker 3: I take that back. Second down from the two, Brandon

2973
02:29:04,360 --> 02:29:07,160
Speaker 3: takes the snap, gives to Williams and he has dropped

2974
02:29:07,320 --> 02:29:11,200
Speaker 3: immediately Number five, Elijah little John, the Penn State commits

2975
02:29:11,280 --> 02:29:13,080
Speaker 3: screaming off the edge to make the stop.

2976
02:29:14,959 --> 02:29:17,960
Speaker 4: Little John comes down and there's just no blocker for him,

2977
02:29:17,959 --> 02:29:19,800
Speaker 4: and it's almost kind of like an edge blitz.

2978
02:29:19,920 --> 02:29:22,039
Speaker 5: He's playing in the edge. The run's going to the.

2979
02:29:22,080 --> 02:29:24,360
Speaker 4: Left, and they're basically saying we can get in before

2980
02:29:24,400 --> 02:29:27,360
Speaker 4: we have to block you, and Elijah little John said, no,

2981
02:29:27,440 --> 02:29:30,200
Speaker 4: you probably should put someone on me. I'm going to

2982
02:29:30,240 --> 02:29:34,920
Speaker 4: Penn State. Someone probably should block me. Third down from

2983
02:29:35,000 --> 02:29:36,760
Speaker 4: the two. You'd have to think that.

2984
02:29:39,520 --> 02:29:42,440
Speaker 3: Darryl Brown is not even considering kicking the football even

2985
02:29:42,480 --> 02:29:45,880
Speaker 3: if his team doesn't manage to score here and right

2986
02:29:45,920 --> 02:29:48,320
Speaker 3: there he calls it time out. Didn't like what he saw,

2987
02:29:48,760 --> 02:29:51,720
Speaker 3: comes running out onto the field, gets the time out.

2988
02:29:54,360 --> 02:29:58,360
Speaker 4: Each team has one timeout, so Grimsly's used theirs for

2989
02:29:58,480 --> 02:30:06,119
Speaker 4: this first set of overtime, set of downs and little

2990
02:30:06,280 --> 02:30:09,560
Speaker 4: different situation. We got all untimed plays here, so get

2991
02:30:09,600 --> 02:30:11,520
Speaker 4: yourself in the right formation. You don't want to take

2992
02:30:11,560 --> 02:30:14,760
Speaker 4: a negative play, and Grimsley's got a huge advantage here,

2993
02:30:14,840 --> 02:30:16,840
Speaker 4: third and two, third and goal from the two, and

2994
02:30:19,360 --> 02:30:23,040
Speaker 4: I think just two runs inside probably gets gets them in.

2995
02:30:23,240 --> 02:30:27,280
Speaker 4: And you know, Mike Miller, Nick Kashubara, these guys are

2996
02:30:27,440 --> 02:30:30,440
Speaker 4: six four sixty five sixty six. Get I think I

2997
02:30:30,560 --> 02:30:34,280
Speaker 4: get behind them and just try to ram it down

2998
02:30:34,320 --> 02:30:40,320
Speaker 4: their throat. But tensions are high, so you're never quite

2999
02:30:40,360 --> 02:30:43,080
Speaker 4: sure what everyone's thinking in a in a structful situation

3000
02:30:43,240 --> 02:30:43,440
Speaker 4: like this.

3001
02:30:44,120 --> 02:30:47,120
Speaker 3: Two minutes and forty five two hours, rather in forty

3002
02:30:47,200 --> 02:30:52,320
Speaker 3: five minutes into this ballgame. The excitement level was through

3003
02:30:52,400 --> 02:30:56,160
Speaker 3: the roof when this game kicked off. A heavyweight matchup

3004
02:30:56,200 --> 02:30:58,960
Speaker 3: between two of the best programs in the state. It

3005
02:30:59,080 --> 02:31:05,400
Speaker 3: has delivered, and nearing eleven o'clock Eastern time, we're still

3006
02:31:05,440 --> 02:31:11,400
Speaker 3: awaiting a result because here comes the Grimsley offense out

3007
02:31:11,480 --> 02:31:15,119
Speaker 3: for third down from the two yard line, Lions showing blitz.

3008
02:31:15,720 --> 02:31:16,360
Speaker 4: They'll bring it.

3009
02:31:16,440 --> 02:31:21,840
Speaker 3: Faison Brandon stopped in the backfield at the one yard line.

3010
02:31:21,879 --> 02:31:24,640
Speaker 3: It's where he's brought down officially, and it's fourth down

3011
02:31:24,760 --> 02:31:26,000
Speaker 3: from the one coming up.

3012
02:31:26,240 --> 02:31:30,640
Speaker 4: Jamil Watson came and gave an absolute licking right at

3013
02:31:30,680 --> 02:31:36,199
Speaker 4: the goal line. Brandon is in and Watson and Caden

3014
02:31:36,280 --> 02:31:40,320
Speaker 4: Smith hit him right on right at the goal line

3015
02:31:40,360 --> 02:31:45,520
Speaker 4: and sets up a unbelievably big fourth down right here

3016
02:31:45,560 --> 02:31:49,520
Speaker 4: at the one and Grimsley's starting to little disorganized here

3017
02:31:50,280 --> 02:31:50,840
Speaker 4: gets to ten.

3018
02:31:50,959 --> 02:31:53,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're at eleven and we have two wide receivers

3019
02:31:53,680 --> 02:31:56,039
Speaker 3: sprinting to the near side of the formation. Play clock

3020
02:31:56,120 --> 02:32:01,360
Speaker 3: down to six now five. Faison Brandon down two high snap,

3021
02:32:01,680 --> 02:32:05,920
Speaker 3: grabs it, barrels across the goal line. Touchdown faise On

3022
02:32:06,120 --> 02:32:10,360
Speaker 3: Brandon and the Grimsley Whorlies retake the lead twenty seven

3023
02:32:10,440 --> 02:32:15,160
Speaker 3: to twenty one. Well, that was a stressful.

3024
02:32:16,200 --> 02:32:20,360
Speaker 4: Four plays ten yards, but a penalty at the beginning

3025
02:32:20,440 --> 02:32:23,880
Speaker 4: of the drive. The encroachment really hurt them because they

3026
02:32:23,920 --> 02:32:26,240
Speaker 4: only needed to go five yards over the four plays

3027
02:32:26,280 --> 02:32:30,480
Speaker 4: and Fazon Brandon punches it in over the left side

3028
02:32:30,480 --> 02:32:31,600
Speaker 4: of the offensive line, and.

3029
02:32:33,280 --> 02:32:34,640
Speaker 5: That was a big, big drive.

3030
02:32:34,680 --> 02:32:37,640
Speaker 4: And of course this is a big pat here, as

3031
02:32:37,680 --> 02:32:40,440
Speaker 4: we've seen already a little bit of issues in the past.

3032
02:32:40,680 --> 02:32:45,120
Speaker 3: Chase Hull Mantle perfect tonight, clean snap, kick us up

3033
02:32:46,080 --> 02:32:46,680
Speaker 3: and it's good.

3034
02:32:47,520 --> 02:32:49,039
Speaker 4: Twenty eight to twenty one.

3035
02:32:49,240 --> 02:32:53,680
Speaker 3: Grimsley retakes the lead up by a touchdown after a

3036
02:32:53,800 --> 02:32:57,840
Speaker 3: touchdown was scored by the twenty twenty four North Carolina

3037
02:32:57,959 --> 02:33:01,560
Speaker 3: Gatorade Football Player of the Year and mister Football here

3038
02:33:01,600 --> 02:33:05,040
Speaker 3: in North Carolina. Face on Brandon last year, picking up

3039
02:33:05,040 --> 02:33:08,720
Speaker 3: where he left off, making big plays in big moments.

3040
02:33:09,680 --> 02:33:12,200
Speaker 3: His team has the advantage, and now Wes Charlotte will

3041
02:33:12,240 --> 02:33:15,000
Speaker 3: get the ball on offense with a chance to tie

3042
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:17,160
Speaker 3: it up or potentially go ahead, and really cool.

3043
02:33:17,360 --> 02:33:19,039
Speaker 5: You know, it's a little bit of a counterplay.

3044
02:33:19,080 --> 02:33:22,480
Speaker 4: They got one puller and the second puller is Hudson Cooper,

3045
02:33:22,520 --> 02:33:26,520
Speaker 4: the senior wide receiver. And you know, coach Daryl Brown said, hey,

3046
02:33:27,280 --> 02:33:29,280
Speaker 4: we like throwing him the ball. He does a lot

3047
02:33:29,360 --> 02:33:31,320
Speaker 4: with the ball in his hands, but as we saw

3048
02:33:31,400 --> 02:33:32,920
Speaker 4: by the fifty three yard touchdown, but he likes to

3049
02:33:32,959 --> 02:33:35,200
Speaker 4: get involved in the run game and he's the final

3050
02:33:35,280 --> 02:33:39,039
Speaker 4: block that springs Brandon there for the touchdown. Now West

3051
02:33:39,120 --> 02:33:43,280
Speaker 4: Charlotte down seven. You'd imagine this is touchdown go for

3052
02:33:43,360 --> 02:33:46,040
Speaker 4: two situations, So I imagine this is going to be

3053
02:33:46,080 --> 02:33:47,000
Speaker 4: the last drive of the game.

3054
02:33:49,680 --> 02:33:52,720
Speaker 5: No ties here, Wes Charlotte, first down.

3055
02:33:52,800 --> 02:33:55,440
Speaker 3: Jamuri Nichols takes the snap, fakes the handoff up the gut,

3056
02:33:55,520 --> 02:33:59,920
Speaker 3: wasted no time, touchdown from ten yards out. Jamury Nichols

3057
02:34:00,080 --> 02:34:04,560
Speaker 3: on a touchdown spree here late in the game, a

3058
02:34:04,680 --> 02:34:07,320
Speaker 3: rushing touchdown and a two point conversion to tie it

3059
02:34:07,440 --> 02:34:09,959
Speaker 3: up at the end of regulation, and his very first

3060
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:13,320
Speaker 3: touched in over time goes for a ten yard touchdown run.

3061
02:34:14,600 --> 02:34:19,600
Speaker 5: That was pretty easy. Run straight up the middle, and

3062
02:34:20,280 --> 02:34:20,840
Speaker 5: look at him.

3063
02:34:21,200 --> 02:34:23,119
Speaker 3: You see the West Charlotte faithful. They're holding the dog

3064
02:34:23,200 --> 02:34:25,240
Speaker 3: over zoo. Yeah, you want West Charlotte to go for

3065
02:34:25,280 --> 02:34:25,760
Speaker 3: two in the win.

3066
02:34:25,920 --> 02:34:29,000
Speaker 4: Right here, this ball is going to Nichols and I'm

3067
02:34:29,160 --> 02:34:31,360
Speaker 4: pretty sure this is Nichols here down at the ten

3068
02:34:31,480 --> 02:34:31,960
Speaker 4: yard line.

3069
02:34:32,000 --> 02:34:32,840
Speaker 5: He ran straight in.

3070
02:34:33,400 --> 02:34:38,640
Speaker 4: I'm guessing this is a cramp and uh yeah, Sam

3071
02:34:38,680 --> 02:34:42,119
Speaker 4: Grinder wasted no time. He almost seemed uninterested with the touchdown.

3072
02:34:42,160 --> 02:34:45,880
Speaker 4: He immediately called a time out and he wanted to

3073
02:34:45,920 --> 02:34:47,959
Speaker 4: get organized because he was going for two. The whole

3074
02:34:48,000 --> 02:34:53,520
Speaker 4: way Nichols went in really didn't even get touched running around,

3075
02:34:53,560 --> 02:34:54,240
Speaker 4: and I wonder if.

3076
02:34:54,120 --> 02:34:56,360
Speaker 5: He cramped up there. He is he kind of cramped

3077
02:34:56,440 --> 02:34:57,240
Speaker 5: up right there as he.

3078
02:34:57,280 --> 02:35:01,960
Speaker 4: Got around to celebrate with a landing Gilmore And assuming

3079
02:35:02,000 --> 02:35:06,280
Speaker 4: that's just a little crampage, and so two point conversions

3080
02:35:06,360 --> 02:35:08,200
Speaker 4: coming from the three yard line, they've already had one

3081
02:35:08,240 --> 02:35:11,720
Speaker 4: of these and I'd say the best player on the

3082
02:35:11,760 --> 02:35:14,880
Speaker 4: field tonight, it's been Jamuriy Nichols. Like I know, we

3083
02:35:14,959 --> 02:35:17,520
Speaker 4: got Faison Brandon, he's the number one player in the

3084
02:35:17,560 --> 02:35:19,640
Speaker 4: country and at least at the quarterback position.

3085
02:35:19,680 --> 02:35:22,199
Speaker 5: He's going to Tennessee. But Nichols has been fantastic.

3086
02:35:23,280 --> 02:35:25,320
Speaker 4: Much like I said at the end of the fourth quarter,

3087
02:35:26,400 --> 02:35:29,720
Speaker 4: I imagine this play is ending in the hands of Nichols,

3088
02:35:29,840 --> 02:35:30,440
Speaker 4: I would think so.

3089
02:35:30,800 --> 02:35:33,039
Speaker 3: I just first of all, I love the reaction from

3090
02:35:33,040 --> 02:35:36,800
Speaker 3: the fan base here without hesitation, folks, I mean, they're

3091
02:35:36,840 --> 02:35:39,880
Speaker 3: right in front of us here, the entire West Charlotte

3092
02:35:39,920 --> 02:35:43,400
Speaker 3: fan base, nearly thousands of them immediately held up two

3093
02:35:43,480 --> 02:35:46,880
Speaker 3: fingers and all yelled to go for two. And that's

3094
02:35:46,959 --> 02:35:49,640
Speaker 3: exactly what West Charlotte is going to do. Right here,

3095
02:35:49,760 --> 02:35:54,760
Speaker 3: in overtime, trailing by one, Grimsley fire the opening shot.

3096
02:35:54,879 --> 02:35:57,119
Speaker 3: Here in the extra period twenty eight to twenty one.

3097
02:35:57,200 --> 02:36:00,440
Speaker 3: They went up by a touchdown Jamoury Nichols moments ago,

3098
02:36:00,520 --> 02:36:04,879
Speaker 3: a ten yard touchdown run on the first overtime possession

3099
02:36:04,920 --> 02:36:06,840
Speaker 3: for the Lions, and now one play.

3100
02:36:07,080 --> 02:36:07,720
Speaker 5: To win it all.

3101
02:36:09,120 --> 02:36:12,000
Speaker 3: Now we've got movement where there shouldn't be movement. Flags

3102
02:36:12,040 --> 02:36:12,480
Speaker 3: flying in.

3103
02:36:13,320 --> 02:36:17,960
Speaker 4: This is gonna be a huge, huge call. I saw

3104
02:36:18,040 --> 02:36:20,720
Speaker 4: it as off sides. Let's see how they see it.

3105
02:36:21,959 --> 02:36:27,520
Speaker 4: Everyone was moving, yes, still deliberating out there. JJ's wright.

3106
02:36:27,600 --> 02:36:29,800
Speaker 3: We had multiple players moving on both sides of the

3107
02:36:29,879 --> 02:36:34,680
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, all start against West Charlotte.

3108
02:36:37,240 --> 02:36:40,600
Speaker 4: Wow, let's watch the replay here.

3109
02:36:41,520 --> 02:36:44,240
Speaker 5: No wow, no, no way.

3110
02:36:44,840 --> 02:36:47,840
Speaker 4: That's a bad call. Oh, that's a bad call. So

3111
02:36:48,000 --> 02:36:51,680
Speaker 4: number twenty five, Cassius Boston comes across the line of

3112
02:36:51,720 --> 02:36:54,760
Speaker 4: scrimmage and the tackle and tight end standing right in

3113
02:36:54,879 --> 02:36:56,720
Speaker 4: front of him are the ones that move. And that's

3114
02:36:56,720 --> 02:36:59,280
Speaker 4: what they call the false start on bosticks across the

3115
02:36:59,320 --> 02:37:00,400
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage when they.

3116
02:37:00,400 --> 02:37:04,320
Speaker 3: Move a Keem Rose was pleading his case with the official,

3117
02:37:04,920 --> 02:37:06,400
Speaker 3: but they back them up five yards.

3118
02:37:06,760 --> 02:37:07,680
Speaker 4: They'll try it anyway.

3119
02:37:08,040 --> 02:37:14,039
Speaker 3: Nichols takes the snap drag down in complete. Grimsley Worlies

3120
02:37:14,120 --> 02:37:17,040
Speaker 3: get the win here at the Bank twenty eight to

3121
02:37:17,160 --> 02:37:17,880
Speaker 3: twenty seven.

3122
02:37:19,520 --> 02:37:21,560
Speaker 4: I've got no rooting interest in this game. We're just

3123
02:37:21,640 --> 02:37:22,240
Speaker 4: here to call it.

3124
02:37:22,320 --> 02:37:25,320
Speaker 3: But if I'm a West Charlotte fan, that leaves a

3125
02:37:25,480 --> 02:37:27,480
Speaker 3: very bitter taste in my mouth for a long time.

3126
02:37:28,120 --> 02:37:31,400
Speaker 4: That is an incredibly hard way to lose the game,

3127
02:37:31,440 --> 02:37:34,240
Speaker 4: and look, wow, it felt like it was setting up

3128
02:37:34,280 --> 02:37:40,039
Speaker 4: there for Nichols to win it. I have to wonder

3129
02:37:40,120 --> 02:37:41,760
Speaker 4: is it a different play call because it's at the

3130
02:37:41,800 --> 02:37:44,360
Speaker 4: eight yard line set of the three. I know he

3131
02:37:44,480 --> 02:37:47,120
Speaker 4: just ran it in from ten yards. It's so hard

3132
02:37:47,200 --> 02:37:49,840
Speaker 4: to just say, hey, we're gonna run the ball on

3133
02:37:50,480 --> 02:37:52,640
Speaker 4: what it amounts to fourth and goal, right, a two

3134
02:37:52,680 --> 02:37:55,920
Speaker 4: point conversion. I would have loved to have seen what

3135
02:37:56,000 --> 02:37:58,440
Speaker 4: would have happened on a true two point conversion play.

3136
02:37:58,560 --> 02:38:01,360
Speaker 4: And you and I disc on the on the off

3137
02:38:01,440 --> 02:38:03,360
Speaker 4: sides call, but that's that ends up.

3138
02:38:03,320 --> 02:38:05,280
Speaker 5: Being the biggest call in the game. I don't think

3139
02:38:05,320 --> 02:38:07,520
Speaker 5: we disagree at all. Yeah, I don't think we disagreed all.

3140
02:38:07,560 --> 02:38:11,800
Speaker 4: And Grimsley played fantastic and what a great, great way

3141
02:38:11,959 --> 02:38:17,240
Speaker 4: to finish. I yet another unbelievable, keep pounding classic here

3142
02:38:17,600 --> 02:38:19,360
Speaker 4: in Bank of America Stadium, no doubt about it.

3143
02:38:19,400 --> 02:38:21,040
Speaker 3: I mean that was right there. If you, if you

3144
02:38:21,200 --> 02:38:23,520
Speaker 3: obviously are just listening to us. The pocket collapsed on

3145
02:38:23,600 --> 02:38:26,360
Speaker 3: Jamuri Nichols there on that play. He was being drugged down,

3146
02:38:26,440 --> 02:38:28,880
Speaker 3: tried to throw the ball to the far side incomplete

3147
02:38:28,920 --> 02:38:32,240
Speaker 3: off the turf, and he is beside himself upset about

3148
02:38:32,240 --> 02:38:34,199
Speaker 3: the way this game has ended, as you would expect,

3149
02:38:34,280 --> 02:38:37,080
Speaker 3: but the final score twenty eight to twenty seven. The

3150
02:38:37,160 --> 02:38:40,840
Speaker 3: Grimsley Worlies come down from Greensboro and win their first game,

3151
02:38:40,959 --> 02:38:44,000
Speaker 3: and to keep pounding classic here in twenty twenty five

3152
02:38:44,400 --> 02:38:46,879
Speaker 3: will come back. We'll name our player of the game,

Speaker 3: Final score twenty eight to twenty seven. The Grimsley Whorlies

3159
02:39:13,000 --> 02:39:16,600
Speaker 3: win it in overtime, quarterback Faison Brandon with the game

3160
02:39:16,840 --> 02:39:21,480
Speaker 3: winning touchdown. Int Jamuri Nichols gave it everything he had

3161
02:39:21,600 --> 02:39:25,440
Speaker 3: for West Charlotte, including a touchdown and two point conversion

3162
02:39:25,520 --> 02:39:28,520
Speaker 3: at the end of regulation, a ten yard touchdown run

3163
02:39:28,720 --> 02:39:31,680
Speaker 3: on the lions only possession of overtime, but after a

3164
02:39:31,879 --> 02:39:35,600
Speaker 3: questionable false start penalty on his offensive line that backed

3165
02:39:35,600 --> 02:39:38,520
Speaker 3: them up five yards, he was dragged down unable to

3166
02:39:38,560 --> 02:39:41,320
Speaker 3: make a play on the conversion attempt. The two point

3167
02:39:41,400 --> 02:39:43,959
Speaker 3: conversion attempt that might have won the game for West

3168
02:39:44,040 --> 02:39:47,560
Speaker 3: Charlotte and the Lions falls short. Kyle Bailey JJ Jansen

3169

Speaker 3: Keep Pounding High School Classic and partner first and foremost

3171
02:39:53,560 --> 02:39:54,120
Speaker 3: great to work with.

3172
02:39:54,200 --> 02:39:56,280
Speaker 4: You had him last. Couldn't have asked for more from

3173
02:39:56,280 --> 02:39:59,080
Speaker 4: the second game. We had two great games tonight and

3174
02:39:59,520 --> 02:40:05,160
Speaker 4: Get Time thriller amongst two defending state champions. And you know,

3175
02:40:05,200 --> 02:40:06,760
Speaker 4: I think you and I both had the same feeling

3176
02:40:06,800 --> 02:40:09,240
Speaker 4: a little disappointing because we thought maybe that wasn't the

3177
02:40:09,320 --> 02:40:10,920
Speaker 4: right call there on the fall start. I would have

3178
02:40:11,000 --> 02:40:13,160
Speaker 4: loved to have seen one play from the three yard line.

3179
02:40:13,480 --> 02:40:16,400
Speaker 4: Felt fitting, just kind of the way these two teams battled.

3180
02:40:16,440 --> 02:40:19,400
Speaker 4: And can't say enough about how well Jamori Nichols played,

3181
02:40:19,480 --> 02:40:23,080
Speaker 4: especially down in the fourth quarter, taking his team down

3182
02:40:23,160 --> 02:40:27,199
Speaker 4: the field to win or to put the game into overtime.

3183
02:40:27,280 --> 02:40:30,080
Speaker 5: And two great teams, two great programs.

3184
02:40:29,600 --> 02:40:32,600
Speaker 4: And obviously in seven A and eight A respectively, we

3185
02:40:32,640 --> 02:40:34,160
Speaker 4: would expect them right there at the end.

3186
02:40:35,480 --> 02:40:36,480
Speaker 5: Doesn't hurt for their RPI.

3187
02:40:36,600 --> 02:40:38,360
Speaker 4: We got two really good teams here, and in this

3188
02:40:38,480 --> 02:40:41,000
Speaker 4: new world to high school football, you're certainly encouraged to

3189
02:40:41,000 --> 02:40:44,240

Speaker 4: You know It was really a nice team win and

3212
02:41:45,920 --> 02:41:47,760
Speaker 4: Brandon wasn't asked to do a ton but you know,

3213
02:41:47,800 --> 02:41:49,560
Speaker 4: at the end of the game they're in overtime.

3214
02:41:51,240 --> 02:41:51,360
Speaker 5: Yea.

3215
02:41:51,640 --> 02:41:54,640
Speaker 4: The Grimsley put it in their best player's hand and

3216
02:41:54,920 --> 02:41:56,160
Speaker 4: he definitely kept him on track.

3217
02:41:56,280 --> 02:41:58,440
Speaker 5: No turnovers in a game where West Charlot had three.

3218
02:41:59,520 --> 02:42:01,080
Speaker 5: He did everything he was asked for.

3219
02:42:01,200 --> 02:42:04,760
Speaker 4: And you know, Darryl Brown told us before the game, Hey,

3220
02:42:04,840 --> 02:42:07,960
Speaker 4: look if Faison Brandon throws the ball four times, yeah

3221
02:42:08,280 --> 02:42:10,800
Speaker 4: and we win, he's happy and clearly that's what we

3222
02:42:10,879 --> 02:42:11,240
Speaker 4: got here.

3223
02:42:11,320 --> 02:42:13,120
Speaker 5: And he wasn't asked to do a lot with his arm.

3224
02:42:13,160 --> 02:42:15,280
Speaker 4: He was very impressive with his legs when when they

3225
02:42:15,320 --> 02:42:17,280
Speaker 4: gave him the ball, and you can see why he's

3226
02:42:17,280 --> 02:42:19,240
Speaker 4: one of the very best players at North Carolina and.

3227
02:42:19,520 --> 02:42:20,480
Speaker 5: In the entire country.

3228
02:42:20,560 --> 02:42:23,800
Speaker 4: And Grimsy's got to be really happy with what they've gotten.

3229
02:42:24,040 --> 02:42:24,520
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.

3230
02:42:24,560 --> 02:42:27,039
Speaker 4: They've got a really nice receiving corps and a lot

3231
02:42:27,120 --> 02:42:30,120
Speaker 4: of weapons for Brandon to throw to. It was. It

3232
02:42:30,240 --> 02:42:32,839
Speaker 4: was a mighty impressive game from there offensively.

3233
02:42:32,480 --> 02:42:32,840
Speaker 5: Sure was.

3234
02:42:32,879 --> 02:42:34,800
Speaker 3: And an honorable mention and tip of the cap goes

3235
02:42:34,840 --> 02:42:37,000
