 Now let's join the Falcons radio crew live from the stadium for pregame coverage.

9
00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:26,280
 After a grueling, thrilling win last Friday night, the Falcons must turn their page quickly because waiting in the high weeds or the Golden Tigers,

10
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,220
 just waiting for the Falcons to let their guard down.

11
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,540
 It could happen tonight.

12
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,440
 Two 3-0 teams about to tangle.

13
00:01:32,780 --> 00:01:33,960
 It should be a lot of fun.

14
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,860
 And welcome to the Florence Falcons football, the TNT Fireworks pregame show.

15
00:01:38,180 --> 00:01:40,620
 Kevin Johnson, voice of the Falcons, glad to be with you.

16
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,380
 Broadcast 170 for me.

17
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,400
 Can't believe how many I've done.

18
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,540
 Been a lot of fun with it.

19
00:01:44,580 --> 00:01:46,860
 And most of those have been with my good friend, Mike Albertson.

20
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:49,540
 Mike, man, how many years have we done this together?

21
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:50,660
 It seemed like a long time.

22
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,340
 This is season 14 for me.

23
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:52,960
 Wow.

24
00:01:53,140 --> 00:01:53,820
 Season 14.

25
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,640
 So I think I'm around the 150 mark.

26
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,480
 I'm not quite nearly as seasoned as you are.

27
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:06,640
 I've done 23 years of basketball, and I've done probably, I'd say, 18 of football, something like that, 19 of football.

28
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:07,760
 So it's a lot of fun.

29
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,440
 But listen, we've been a lot of places.

30
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,860
 I've been here to broadcast before, but you all don't think have been here.

31
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:17,580
 So I was here in 2010, if I'm not mistaken, the last time these two teams played in Russell.

32
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:18,500
 Right.

33
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,640
 I mean, this is a new place, new environment for me, but it has been first class.

34
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:30,420
 We met Principal Norman earlier today, and just the hospitality carpets have been rolled out,

35
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:32,120
 and he said, hey, we're all family here.

36
00:02:32,260 --> 00:02:34,940
 So it's been a beautiful time so far in Russell.

37
00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:40,580
 Last Friday night, a 7-0 victory over Muscle Shoals, special grueling win,

38
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,080
 but one of those that this Falcons team has been waiting on for a long time.

39
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:45,580
 What did you learn from that, do you think?

40
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,600
 Yeah, I think I learned about the grid of this team.

41
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:56,440
 There are many, many opportunities for both teams to score and gain a huge advantage,

42
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,380
 but this team just never quit, never gave up, and continued until they found that big play.

43
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:04,160
 Well, the Golden Tigers, you know, are licking their traps.

44
00:03:04,340 --> 00:03:07,680
 I mean, if you look at everything, the way the calendar sets up,

45
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,940
 this is a perfect trap game for the Falcons coming here.

46
00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:11,960
 We've all talked about it.

47
00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:13,880
 It's like, oh, no, oh, no.

48
00:03:13,940 --> 00:03:16,500
 You can just see what a trap this is.

49
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:17,820
 It's palpable.

50
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:19,700
 You could taste it almost.

51
00:03:19,980 --> 00:03:22,040
 It really is that perfect trap game.

52
00:03:22,180 --> 00:03:25,880
 You just got over the hump and beat the rival that you hadn't beaten in many years,

53
00:03:26,180 --> 00:03:27,940
 and, you know, that high emotion.

54
00:03:28,140 --> 00:03:30,020
 Well, there's got to be an emotional dump at some point,

55
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,700
 and you're going to come back down to earth, and how do the Falcons respond?

56
00:03:33,940 --> 00:03:39,760
 You know, very excited about their win last week, but did they adhere to that 24-hour rule?

57
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,200
 Did they soak in that Muscle Shoals win a little bit too much?

58
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:51,480
 And we're going to find out tonight, but, you know, a well-coached team with a bunch of new energy

59
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,840
 and new players and things like that with a new system, you know, and coming in.

60
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,980
 And it's a system that our defense really doesn't see very often.

61
00:03:59,980 --> 00:04:06,060
 So all the things are lined up for a possible letdown, and let's hope that doesn't happen.

62
00:04:06,260 --> 00:04:11,120
 I'll tell you what, I'm still trying to get over that you worked in the word papable for a broadcast of high school football.

63
00:04:11,420 --> 00:04:12,900
 That's pretty impressive right there, my friend.

64
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,520
 Man, the dictionary's growing.

65
00:04:14,940 --> 00:04:17,380
 It's those ACT and SAT words, man.

66
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,580
 I don't get to use them often.

67
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,020
 That's often.

68
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,000
 That's that New Jersey ending, I guarantee you, as we speak with Mike Albertson,

69
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,280
 our color analyst Kevin Johnson here on the call tonight, the TNT fireworks pregame show.

70
00:04:26,380 --> 00:04:29,580
 And, Mike, Florence defense has sent a message in three games.

71
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,740
 We try to, you know, sort of tamper everything down, but, man, they have been pretty good.

72
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:34,640
 What makes them so good?

73
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,680
 I really think it's the control over the line of scrimmage.

74
00:04:37,780 --> 00:04:40,580
 That point of attack, being able to control it on both sides of the ball,

75
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,240
 really makes this team difficult to deal with on the defensive side,

76
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:47,780
 but on the offensive side, being able to open up some runs and things like that.

77
00:04:47,820 --> 00:04:51,660
 When you can control the line of scrimmage, you can really dictate to the other team how that game is played.

78
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:55,420
 And the Falcons have done a good job thus far of making sure that happens.

79
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:58,000
 Coach Kenny Marson, the head coach of the Florence Falcons,

80
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,600
 he's no stranger to this coaching staff.

81
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,280
 As a matter of fact, he and Coach Daryl Higgins, the head coach at Russellville,

82
00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:07,120
 were teammates at Coffey High School back in the day.

83
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,280
 Kenny Marson was a quarterback, and Coach Higgins, I believe, I'm sure,

84
00:05:11,380 --> 00:05:13,540
 was a defensive back in return punts.

85
00:05:13,820 --> 00:05:15,380
 So they've known each other a long time.

86
00:05:15,460 --> 00:05:16,000
 They're friends.

87
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:16,980
 It's a good thing.

88
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,660
 But you know that this one's been on the calendar for a while.

89
00:05:20,660 --> 00:05:21,700
 This one's been circled.

90
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:22,880
 This one's been talked about.

91
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:23,960
 You look at it.

92
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,940
 It's just there's no doubt about it.

93
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,380
 How do you handle that this week?

94
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:28,740
 Either coach, to be honest.

95
00:05:29,180 --> 00:05:32,160
 You know, I really and truly is keeping the task at hand.

96
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:35,780
 You know, this is, at the end of the day, just another game.

97
00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:37,440
 You know, so you prepare the same.

98
00:05:37,580 --> 00:05:39,380
 You really look at the other team the same.

99
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,140
 But, you know, Coach Morrison knows on the offensive side

100
00:05:43,140 --> 00:05:46,860
 kind of where we need to get things moving and really work on.

101
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,320
 But also that defensive side.

102
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,100
 He knows that defensive coordinator from the other side.

103
00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:53,240
 We're going to have to attack things differently.

104
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:55,440
 And he knows their tendencies and things like that.

105
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,580
 But Coach Higgins, again, you know, really good coach.

106
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:00,560
 Knows the game a time or two.

107
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,860
 So this is going to be a chess match, I feel like, a lot of the time.

108
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,160
 And just, you know, throwing wrinkles and curveballs at each other the whole game

109
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,100
 and trying to see who bends and who breaks.

110
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,700
 Tremendous stadium here at Russellville High School.

111
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,240
 Great facilities at the beginning.

112
00:06:14,660 --> 00:06:15,460
 We're trying to our right.

113
00:06:15,820 --> 00:06:17,380
 Incredible facilities to our left.

114
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:19,900
 They've done this for years and first class all around

115
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:21,400
 and what they've done and how they've treated us.

116
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,620
 But they did get some rain here today.

117
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,960
 But it's not raining now.

118
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,520
 Matter of fact, a little bit of sunshine peeking through.

119
00:06:27,940 --> 00:06:29,960
 Here's the sun begins to set in the next hour.

120
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,100
 So it's good to see the sun come through a little bit.

121
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:33,560
 But there are dark clouds around us.

122
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,760
 We're hoping that we'll be rain-free tonight.

123
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:38,100
 And hopefully we can get this one in without any rain.

124
00:06:38,180 --> 00:06:40,400
 It should be a good one here at Russellville High School.

125
00:06:40,580 --> 00:06:42,440
 Earlier this week, actually last night,

126
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,660
 I sat down with Head Coach Kenny Morrison to talk about tonight's game.

127
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,300
 In a brief conversation, here is our two-minute conversation

128
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:50,260
 about the big game against Russellville.

129
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,160
 Joined now by Head Coach Kenny Morrison.

130
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,080
 And, Coach, it's a big win last week for you.

131
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,460
 I know it's a big win for your team.

132
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,620
 And you've got to feel good where you are at least 1-0 in the region.

133
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,340
 Yeah, it was a great win.

134
00:07:00,340 --> 00:07:01,560
 Great win for our community.

135
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,280
 It's been a long time coming.

136
00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:06,820
 I know it's been about a decade since we beat Muscles.

137
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,500
 But that was a huge win for us.

138
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,840
 And we've got to get past it and move on for this one.

139
00:07:10,980 --> 00:07:14,020
 Yeah, because you're laying in wait as the tiger's in the weeds, as they say.

140
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,620
 And Coach Higgins over there does an amazing job.

141
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:18,680
 I know y'all are good friends.

142
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,960
 It's going to be a veteran coach against a veteran coach,

143
00:07:21,060 --> 00:07:23,460
 but we're going to have two good teams against each other.

144
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,700
 Yeah, he and I have been, you know, since high school.

145
00:07:25,860 --> 00:07:28,140
 I mean, we played together in high school.

146
00:07:28,820 --> 00:07:30,600
 A great person, great man.

147
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,340
 I mean, he does a phenomenal job.

148
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,540
 A heck of a football coach.

149
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,940
 And it's going to be a fun matchup.

150
00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:38,260
 I told him today on the phone, we talked about it.

151
00:07:38,260 --> 00:07:42,440
 I said it's going to be strange being across the sideline from him.

152
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,760
 You know, one day maybe we'll be on the same sideline.

153
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:45,220
 Who knows?

154
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,440
 Let's see if he'll share some of that gait with us tomorrow night.

155
00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:47,980
 Absolutely.

156
00:07:47,980 --> 00:07:49,440
 Huge crowd for that one.

157
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,660
 So we speak with Coach Kenny Morrison.

158
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,380
 And, Coach, let's talk about your team.

159
00:07:52,460 --> 00:07:53,840
 What do you want to see out of your team tomorrow night

160
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,940
 when you go against a really, really well-coached Russell team?

161
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,660
 I want to see us bounce back from a big win

162
00:07:59,660 --> 00:08:03,320
 and get out there and get past what we did at most shows

163
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:10,140
 and compete and get after them, you know, just like we're 0-0,

164
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,020
 like we started the season.

165
00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:15,680
 You know, we've got to come down out of the clouds a little bit

166
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,240
 and get ready to play some football here.

167
00:08:17,380 --> 00:08:20,460
 Just because you're a 3-0 in the season, still there's a lot to clean up.

168
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,640
 A lot, a lot.

169
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,320
 We've got way too many penalties.

170
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:27,820
 I think 8, 11, and 13, we're getting better, you know, minimizing those.

171
00:08:27,980 --> 00:08:30,640
 But, you know, we've been pretty solid in turnover game.

172
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,900
 Knock on wood, don't want to jinx that.

173
00:08:33,060 --> 00:08:35,260
 But we've got to tackle better.

174
00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:37,920
 We're still missing some blocks and assignments.

175
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:43,580
 But, Coach Wisdom said in the lost pizza thing,

176
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:45,800
 if we got everything right, why would we practice?

177
00:08:45,940 --> 00:08:47,260
 So we try to get better every day.

178
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,920
 Still excited to play on Friday nights and games like this?

179
00:08:50,060 --> 00:08:50,660
 Let's go.

180
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:51,420
 I can't wait.

181
00:08:51,540 --> 00:08:52,240
 This is awesome.

182
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,240
 It's going to be a phenomenal atmosphere.

183
00:08:54,660 --> 00:08:57,700
 And this is, again, why we got in this business for nights like this.

184
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:58,340
 Let's go.

185
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:58,880
 Indeed.

186
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,800
 That's Coach Kenny Marson, the Florence Falcons.

187
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:03,460
 You're listening to the TNT Fireworks pregame show.

188
00:09:03,540 --> 00:09:04,380
 We're back in one minute.

189
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,520
 It's football time in Alabama.

190
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,160
 Our students are learning big American lessons.

191
00:09:10,940 --> 00:09:12,960
 You can start with your God-given talents.

192
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,560
 And through practice, hard work, and sacrifice, you have the ability to become champions.

193
00:09:18,380 --> 00:09:19,900
 This is Congressman Robert Adderhall.

194
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,220
 May God bless all of our students representing our high schools during this season.

195
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,900
 And may God bless the United States of America.

196
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,800
 I'm Robert Adderhall, and I approve this message.

197
00:09:30,460 --> 00:09:32,620
 Paid for by Adderhall for Congress.

198
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,800
 At North Alabama Bone and Joint Clinic, our show's roots run deep.

199
00:09:39,260 --> 00:09:45,500
 We provide quick access and familiar, friendly faces so you never have to feel just like a number.

201
00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:57,780

202
00:09:58,060 --> 00:10:00,780

204

 Welcome back to the TNC Fireworks pregame show.

205
00:10:12,060 --> 00:10:14,320
 Florence Falcons football, 93-9 score.

206
00:10:14,420 --> 00:10:15,780
 You're home for Florence Falcons since 2004.

207
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,600
 Kevin Johnson, Mike Albertson, live from Golden Tigers Stadium here in Russellville, Alabama.

208
00:10:22,380 --> 00:10:23,960
 And it's going to be a great night tonight.

209
00:10:24,140 --> 00:10:28,460
 The Tigers look like they're going to be in all black, at least the black pants and black helmets.

210
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,480
 They could come out with the gold jerseys.

211
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,700
 They've done that before, but most of the time they do all black.

212
00:10:33,380 --> 00:10:37,920
 Florence in all white, trimmed in blue, blue pants and blue helmets.

213
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,960
 So it should be a good matchup today.

214
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,640
 And Mike Albertson, we saw many places last week that Florence needs to work on.

215
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,280
 And obviously after three games, the book is out.

216
00:10:47,380 --> 00:10:48,640
 Other teams will see that as well.

217
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,440
 Oh, absolutely.

218
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:54,820
 You know, I think offensively we haven't done – we haven't really hit our stride yet.

219
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,280
 It goes without saying.

220
00:10:56,380 --> 00:10:57,840
 We've been able to run the ball pretty well.

221
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,200
 But, you know, there have been – I mean, Muscle Shoals made us pretty one-dimensional.

222
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,720
 You know, we really couldn't get the ball up and down the field on them as far as getting the ball through the air.

223
00:11:09,060 --> 00:11:15,520
 We had several attempts, a couple drops here, a couple miscues, but really and truly we've just been able to run the ball.

224
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:17,940
 So the defenses are going to be able to key on that.

225
00:11:18,020 --> 00:11:22,100
 And our secondary – the first couple of games were – was a little bit questionable.

226
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:29,380
 And they've really shored up some things and have done better, but really need continuous improvement on that side as well.

227
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,180
 You know, Mike, last week was a defensive stalemate.

228
00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:40,360
 It's been a long time since I've been to a game and broadcast a game that was 0-0 to the last two and a half, three minutes of the game.

229
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,760
 I mean, just a slugfest between Florence and Muscle Shoals.

230
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,560
 But tonight with this Florence-Russell game, it can be totally opposite.

231
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,100
 What do you sort of feel after seeing both teams in three games?

232
00:11:51,220 --> 00:11:51,820
 What's your feel?

233
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:55,960
 Will it be a defensive struggle again or will it be a little more offense on the board?

234
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:56,720
 Yes.

235
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,000
 That's it.

236
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:58,640
 That's the answer.

237
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:04,800
 I think it's going to – after a hard-fought battle last week, we're going to be able to – you know, we've seen fast teams.

238
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,100
 We've seen athletic teams.

239
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,340
 We've seen – you know, we've seen some power teams, things like that.

240
00:12:09,340 --> 00:12:13,400
 So we've seen kind of everything that we're going to see aside from the wing team.

241
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:20,320
 And then on the flip side, Florence has probably had maybe some of the tougher matchups

242
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,960
 early on in this season, which might prepare them a little bit better for this game.

243
00:12:24,020 --> 00:12:26,160
 But both teams are going to be well-coached, well-prepared.

244
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,180
 And this is going to be one of those slugfests that we might be talking about towards the end of the year.

245
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,560
 Let's welcome in our third member of the crew.

246
00:12:32,980 --> 00:12:34,120
 He's a sideline reporter.

247
00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:37,220
 I promise you, folks, he works as hard as anyone on our crew getting ready

248
00:12:37,220 --> 00:12:40,020
 because he has to get things ready up in the booth, go back down to the field.

249
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,580
 He's up and down the steps two or three, four or five times just to make sure his broadcast is good.

250
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,380
 We're glad to have Jeffrey Jones with us.

251
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,420
 J.J., how are you doing tonight, bud?

252
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,300
 I'm doing wonderful.

253
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,000
 Glad to be here.

254
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,080
 Good to see you, my friend.

255
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,340
 Good to have you with us.

256
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,420
 And did you survive last week, by the way?

257
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,540
 That game that was unbelievable.

258
00:12:54,620 --> 00:12:58,140
 Even after the game, the lake, all combined, you just had a lot going on.

259
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,640
 So, yeah, it was a great start to the Labor Day weekend.

260
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,480
 You know, set the tone for the weekend.

261
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,400
 Again, I had to – my nerves were shot, and I was getting texts all night.

262
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,120
 You know, after one game like that, there is no going home and going to bed, going to sleep.

263
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:18,540
 You've got to – you replay it in your head, and it's just an outstanding beginning to the Labor Day weekend,

264
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,520
 the long holiday weekend, and I just can't say enough good things about how we felt all weekend.

265
00:13:22,620 --> 00:13:23,280
 Okay, let's find out.

266
00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:28,220
 What was the latest of the text messages coming in last Friday night after the game?

267
00:13:28,540 --> 00:13:35,460
 Because mine, for me, at 1.30 in the morning, I still had the certain coaches that were texting me from Florence High School at 1.30 in the morning.

268
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,500
 So, there was a little bit of can't sleep excitement.

269
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,620
 I wanted to talk about a few things.

270
00:13:39,660 --> 00:13:40,440
 Did you have a few of those?

271
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,900
 Yeah, there was – most of them were on the Florence side.

272
00:13:44,020 --> 00:13:47,520
 You know, the other side across the river, they weren't very happy.

273
00:13:47,620 --> 00:13:52,600
 So, they weren't very – they didn't have the text fingers, you know, that they normally have.

274
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,520
 So, it hit them hard.

275
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,820
 It hit them very hard, and it was good to see it.

276
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:03,900
 You know, taking a loss last week, getting the team back up for this trap game here would have been very hard, very difficult.

277
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:10,780
 Now, we have some challenges ourselves because now we're 3-0, and these guys are starting to think, oh, we're pretty good, you know.

278
00:14:10,860 --> 00:14:16,860
 And, you know, these are young gentlemen that, you know, you show up 3-0, you've got a little bit of a swagger during the week.

279
00:14:17,020 --> 00:14:19,740
 So, it's one of those things that you've got to keep everybody's head down.

280
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,700
 Basically, you've got to go the Lane Kiffin route and say, you haven't done anything yet.

281
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:23,540
 Well, that's true.

282
00:14:23,660 --> 00:14:24,300
 That's a good point.

283
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:24,960
 You haven't done anything yet.

284
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,440
 You haven't done anything yet is right.

285
00:14:26,540 --> 00:14:28,140
 Jeffrey Johnson, that's a good point.

286
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,460
 This Falcons team has to realize tonight it's an 0-0 game, really, between these two teams.

287
00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:34,280
 I do want to ask you this, though.

288
00:14:34,660 --> 00:14:45,160
 Have you ever heard the Falcons fans, as loud as they were last week in that game, that was a big, big effort, a 12th man type for the Falcons, for sure.

289
00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:48,820
 At an away game, I've never heard anything close to that.

290
00:14:49,260 --> 00:14:50,080
 It was electric.

291
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,260
 It was electric.

292
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,220
 There's no doubt about it.

293
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,380
 Great to see us travel.

294
00:14:54,540 --> 00:14:56,500
 You know, it was an easy travel across the river.

295
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,060
 But I think tonight it's going to be pretty similar.

296
00:14:58,620 --> 00:15:04,380
 You know, the student body's on board and the faculty's on board and the whole town is on board.

297
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:14,100
 So, I know there's a lot of people that said they were going to be listening to us tonight and can't wait to get all the talk out of the way on the way home and all that.

298
00:15:14,220 --> 00:15:15,800
 So, I think we're ready.

299
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,060
 Now, I will say this.

300
00:15:17,660 --> 00:15:18,380
 I'm a little worried.

301
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,660
 You know, our defense is going to have to unlearn a lot this week.

302
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,020
 And we have not seen an offense like this.

303
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:24,920
 I've watched them on film.

304
00:15:24,980 --> 00:15:28,140
 And they run that wing tee pretty darn well.

305
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:28,780
 Yes, they do.

306
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,920
 I'll tell you what, for you and I, we'll end on that one tonight because I think you've got to do some adjustments, some paddles, different things up here.

307
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,180
 Things are falling apart.

308
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:36,600
 We're in a very small booth.

309
00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:37,360
 It's very nice.

310
00:15:37,460 --> 00:15:40,540
 But our broadcast is, it's made for two and we've got four.

311
00:15:40,660 --> 00:15:41,940
 And it's pretty crowded here.

312
00:15:41,940 --> 00:15:43,200
 So, we're trying to get everything done.

313
00:15:43,340 --> 00:15:44,780
 So, forgive us if we get set up.

314
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,120
 But I'll tell you someone, it's got plenty of room tonight and he is in the 93.9 The Score studios.

315
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,500
 He's the best in the business.

316
00:15:50,620 --> 00:15:54,320
 I promise you, James Moody will give us updates along with Blair Krieger throughout the night.

317
00:15:54,540 --> 00:15:55,960
 So, James, my friend, take it away.

318
00:15:56,660 --> 00:15:57,320
 Thank you, Kevin.

319
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,560
 Yes, we'll be keeping up with all the scores here and be relaying them on to you flying solo tonight.

320
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:06,520
 But we'll be keeping up with lots of scores.

321
00:16:06,620 --> 00:16:10,560
 We had one last night, John Carroll Catholic beating St. John Paul II 44 to nothing.

322
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,260
 Tonight, we'll be following games, including but not limited to Muscle Shoals in Austin.

323
00:16:15,620 --> 00:16:16,800
 We've got Lauderdale County in Central.

324
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,820
 We have Sheffield, Calvert County, Hamilton, excuse me, Hamilton and Deschler.

325
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,520
 Bob Jones, Grissom.

326
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,200
 Waterloo, Hackleberg.

327
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:25,200
 Shoals, Christian.

328
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:25,800
 Mars Hill.

329
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:26,900
 Sparkman and Hazel Green.

330
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,180
 Red Bay and Bell Green.

331
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,120
 Tharptown and Vino.

332
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,040
 Hatton and Winfield.

333
00:16:31,140 --> 00:16:32,700
 Also, Tennessee and Mississippi scores.

334
00:16:33,260 --> 00:16:35,740
 Keeping track of the important Phillies Brave series.

335
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,280
 They're in a delay right now.

336
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:38,860
 Keep up with the college football.

337
00:16:38,860 --> 00:16:44,040
 We've got Villanova and Louisville, Rutgers and Boston College and Missouri and Kansas.

338
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,460
 So, we'll be keeping up with all that.

339
00:16:46,020 --> 00:16:52,640
 And join me after the game for the AHSA statewide scoreboard show from 10 to midnight right here on 93.9 The Score.

340
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,720
 Now back to the stadium for more of the pregame show.

341
00:16:56,020 --> 00:16:59,880
 Thank you, James Moody there at 93.9 The Score studios here at Russellville High School.

342
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:01,020
 The sun is now shining.

343
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:01,980
 That's good.

344
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,920
 But, boy, there's dark clouds all around the stadium.

345
00:17:04,020 --> 00:17:05,660
 Hopefully, we can get through this one tonight.

346
00:17:05,660 --> 00:17:07,700
 And I'm hoping that maybe the rain is going away.

347
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:09,600
 The Falcon Band is across the way.

348
00:17:09,660 --> 00:17:10,400
 The Big Blue Band.

349
00:17:10,740 --> 00:17:11,400
 The Marching 100.

350
00:17:11,540 --> 00:17:12,480
 The Russell Marching Inn.

351
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:13,660
 It's a festive night.

352
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,700
 It's the way it's supposed to be in high school football.

353
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:22,980
 And, you know, Mike, I want to jump on college for a minute because they are just talking about tonight that Rutgers game with Boston College.

354
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:24,700
 That's the red bandana game.

355
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:33,240
 And, you know, it reminds us of a great story from 9-11 of a young man that was a part of the Rutgers team and went on to be a hero during 9-11.

356
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:34,940
 And I'm sure you're aware of it a little bit.

357
00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:35,600
 Some others are.

358
00:17:35,740 --> 00:17:40,560
 But it's great that these schools on this night remember a lot of those things, isn't it?

359
00:17:40,740 --> 00:17:41,320
 Oh, absolutely.

360
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:48,160
 You know, the Northeast, you know, is very special to me.

361
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:49,960
 And especially that moment there.

362
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,720
 I was in college about 15 miles away during that time.

363
00:17:54,860 --> 00:17:56,640
 And it was, you know, it was definitely a different time.

364
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,980
 And it's been different since then.

365
00:17:57,980 --> 00:18:03,520
 But to remember the heroes, remember the stories of times past and never forget that day, absolutely.

366
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:04,900
 I as well.

367
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:10,100
 And so if you don't know the red bandana story from Rutgers, you need to look it up.

368
00:18:10,180 --> 00:18:11,040
 It's pretty phenomenal.

369
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,160
 And they're playing that game tonight because of the 25th anniversary.

370
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,340
 And that story is one of the great stories in sports.

371
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,200
 That is for sure.

372
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,000
 Kevin Johnson, Mike Albertson with you here.

373
00:18:20,380 --> 00:18:22,380
 And Mike, this Russell team, they're 3-0.

374
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,740
 Hey, listen, Florence beat Muscle Shoals.

375
00:18:24,860 --> 00:18:25,740
 Florence beat Jasper.

376
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:26,720
 Florence beat Pinson Valley.

377
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,400
 The Golden Tigers have had a pretty good resume as well.

378
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,100
 Oh, absolutely.

379
00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:33,620
 They're a big rivalry against Deshler.

380
00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:34,600
 They took care of Deshler.

381
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,400
 They played against Mars Hill and broke their undefeated streak.

382
00:18:39,460 --> 00:18:43,020
 You know, and, you know, they played those two really good teams.

383
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:47,280
 And then they played a Hartzell team to open the region.

384
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,360
 Hartzell's always a real disciplined, solid football team.

385
00:18:50,580 --> 00:18:51,340
 And at Hartzell.

386
00:18:51,340 --> 00:18:54,340
 At Hartzell, you know, not the easiest place to play either.

387
00:18:54,740 --> 00:18:58,440
 And so they've really started off the season strong and brought in this Higgins era.

388
00:18:58,980 --> 00:19:05,460
 And, you know, his reputation is being, you know, is being cemented each and every game so far.

389
00:19:05,460 --> 00:19:09,860
 So, you know, he's done a great job here, well-coached team, and Russell Bull's got a gem.

390
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:15,180
 Big thank you to Garner Pierce Auto, our courtesy vehicles on the road this season.

391
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,040
 Garner Pierce Auto took care of us.

392
00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:18,880
 I believe that's an explorer we were in tonight.

393
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,680
 We appreciate them taking care of us on this trip, a short trip, not as long as usual, but we appreciate them taking care of us tonight.

394
00:19:24,940 --> 00:19:26,100
 And they'll take care of you, too.

395
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:32,300
 Do you realize we're only just about three months away from the holidays, and we're talking about times for buying Christmas gifts.

396
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,620
 Why not go ahead and start looking for that special car for that special someone?

397
00:19:36,060 --> 00:19:38,600
 That's Garner Pierce Auto in Florence.

398
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,580
 And, John, we want to welcome you.

399
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:43,480
 John McDaniel, our statistician, welcome you in tonight.

400
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,160
 It's good to have you.

401
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,520
 And have you been in these games before where it didn't know if it was going to rain, might rain?

402
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,240
 Does it make a difference for you as a player a little bit?

403
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:57,240
 Well, Kevin, normally I would say no.

404
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,120
 With this turf field, it's a little bit different.

405
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,400
 It's kind of a mix between the new field turf and the old AstroTurf.

406
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:05,860
 Good point.

407
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,880
 So the footing might change, but outside of that, there is really not much of a difference.

408
00:20:11,740 --> 00:20:13,460
 The weather's not going to be a big deal.

409
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:19,120
 Certainly, as a defender, it's not going to play much factor at all, especially with the offense they're going to face.

410
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:24,980
 And maybe a few adjustments for the Falcons on offense might be a couple of less pass plays called.

411
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:28,440
 But I think if it does rain, it's going to move through pretty quickly.

412
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:34,760
 But looking forward to seeing how the Falcons can play here in a new venue that most of us haven't been to before.

413
00:20:34,940 --> 00:20:36,500
 John McDaniel, our statistician.

414
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,440
 And, John, last week was a hard-hitting defensive game right down your alley.

415
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:44,960
 As a former linebacker at the University of North Alabama, I was sore.

416
00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:46,840
 I mean, I was even sore when we left the game.

417
00:20:46,980 --> 00:20:48,620
 And I didn't play.

418
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:52,260
 How do you take care of your body after a game like that?

419
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:55,920
 What's the big thing for you to tell athletes after you've been in a hard-hitting game like that?

420
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:57,480
 Move.

421
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,720
 Ice and move the next day.

422
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:06,580
 You don't have to get very active, but you want to kind of stretch what you – it's counterintuitive.

423
00:21:07,020 --> 00:21:12,720
 You want to kind of move around and flush some of the lactic acid that's built up after three hours of playing hard.

424
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,060
 And I'm a big fan of icing.

425
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:22,400
 Ice is a miracle remedy that you learn about in college you don't know in high school, those kind of things.

426
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:30,040
 But I have certainly been sore from playing a game Friday, and it's Wednesday or Thursday before you've got all the kinks out.

427
00:21:30,740 --> 00:21:37,940
 But you're certainly – when the adrenaline starts flowing on Friday night, you feel very – no pain.

428
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,620
 Yeah, I think it's a good – that's great insight right there from a former player.

429
00:21:41,620 --> 00:21:45,660
 And tonight, as a defensive guy, you know what it's like to face the wing tee.

430
00:21:46,340 --> 00:21:49,720
 I mean, we could sit here for the next 60 minutes and talk about trying to dissect it,

431
00:21:49,780 --> 00:21:53,760
 but the fact is we're going to only have a 60-minute pregame show, so we're going to have a few minutes.

432
00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:58,660
 But what are the keys, maybe the biggest keys for Florence in this wing tee offense they're about to face?

433
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,920
 Yeah, I'm a little nostalgic about it because it's what was very popular when I was in high school.

434
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:10,800
 The offensive staff for Russellville won a few state titles with it when they were at Deschler in the time.

435
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,020
 And have managed to still do it.

436
00:22:13,020 --> 00:22:14,940
 It dates all the way back to the 50s, Kevin.

437
00:22:15,380 --> 00:22:17,960
 But to play against it is excellent.

438
00:22:18,180 --> 00:22:23,320
 I discipline it because they're going to try to trick the defender to get out of place.

439
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,280
 They're going to fake the ball this way and go the other.

440
00:22:26,780 --> 00:22:31,360
 Guards are going to pull to be lead blockers for lots of the plays.

441
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,920
 They like to do a lot of trapping.

442
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,900
 Center blocks one way.

443
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,640
 Guard pulls around and blocks the other kind of to influence, sort of get people out of position.

444
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,040
 And they've coached it for a long time.

445
00:22:43,140 --> 00:22:44,980
 They're really masters of it, to be honest.

446
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:55,300
 And there's a lot of adjustments that a good coach like Mother Shed and Higgins are going to be able to, you know, if you overload one side, they're going to come back.

447
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:58,580
 They've got, I promise they've got a counter that we haven't seen.

448
00:22:58,700 --> 00:23:00,300
 A few we have on tip of film.

449
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:04,760
 But they can certainly, they've got answers to our questions.

450
00:23:05,060 --> 00:23:05,700
 It is interesting.

451
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:13,020
 This wing T offense has variations from offenses even years past before that about how to misdirection run the ball.

452
00:23:13,340 --> 00:23:19,000
 But if you look at the spread offenses of today, there's still some variations of wing T in all the spreads.

453
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:24,920
 I mean, the wing T is still sort of a foundation for much of the offenses you see on Saturdays with colleges.

454
00:23:25,060 --> 00:23:26,200
 So it is a very special.

455
00:23:26,260 --> 00:23:27,700
 But you've got to be out of discipline, as you said.

456
00:23:27,740 --> 00:23:28,500
 I think it's a good point.

457
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,640
 John, this Falcons defense, very opportunistic, though, in three games.

458
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,400
 You know, you look at it in the offense, too.

459
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,580
 Turnovers have been on our favor so far.

460
00:23:37,780 --> 00:23:39,180
 We have done a terrific job.

461
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,400
 This is one of the biggest factors that you're going to see.

462
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,340
 I'd say one of the two biggest factors in determining a winner and a loser, turnovers.

463
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,620
 Getting extra possessions.

464
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:51,960
 First game, we had one against Jasper.

465
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,040
 We forced five.

466
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:54,740
 Last week, we had two.

467
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,700
 We're eight and two on the season.

468
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,540
 On the plus side.

469
00:24:01,020 --> 00:24:03,360
 So a tremendous job by our guys.

470
00:24:03,740 --> 00:24:12,000
 Anytime that you're giving your offense an extra shot at scoring, you're going to be much more advantageous at the chance of winning.

471
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:19,120
 And if nothing takes the wind out of a team's sails, like fumbling the ball and giving up a short field.

472
00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:22,200
 Shout out to our good friends at Lost Pizza.

473
00:24:22,340 --> 00:24:23,180
 They're listening tonight.

474
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,320
 Lost Pizza, hey, thank you so much.

475
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:27,840
 They fed the Falcon Radio crew before we left tonight.

476
00:24:28,260 --> 00:24:29,280
 They took care of us.

477
00:24:29,340 --> 00:24:30,340
 They'll take care of you as well.

478
00:24:30,420 --> 00:24:32,060
 We had a packed house there last night.

479
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,300
 But we had a great meal tonight as well.

480
00:24:34,740 --> 00:24:36,900
 And, Mike, what did you get for Lost Pizza tonight?

481
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:38,760
 Oh, I wound up getting a Caesar salad.

482
00:24:38,940 --> 00:24:39,180
 All right.

483
00:24:39,220 --> 00:24:39,620
 Now, let's go.

484
00:24:39,780 --> 00:24:41,280
 Your daughter Rain's been with us now.

485
00:24:41,340 --> 00:24:42,260
 What did Rain get, by the way?

486
00:24:42,260 --> 00:24:42,520
 You know?

487
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,160
 She wound up getting an Alfredo-based pizza.

488
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,400
 Oh, she went Alfredo.

489
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:46,920
 Oh, yeah.

490
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:47,840
 Yeah, I like that.

491
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:48,060
 Okay.

492
00:24:48,220 --> 00:24:49,900
 We have a lot of fun with Lost Pizza.

493
00:24:49,980 --> 00:24:50,780
 We'll take care of you.

494
00:24:51,260 --> 00:24:52,340
 Always a great atmosphere.

495
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,480
 Always great food.

496
00:24:53,780 --> 00:24:55,720
 And I promise you, they're one of the best in the business.

497
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,980
 Thank you, Lost Pizza, for being a sponsor of Florence Falcons football.

498
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,380
 Countdown to kickoff continues.

499
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,200
 We're getting closer to kickoff here on the TNT Fireworks pregame show, back in one minute.

500
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,300
 Hey, Falcon fans.

501
00:25:07,380 --> 00:25:09,040
 This is Keith at Cypress Creek Indoor Range.

502
00:25:09,380 --> 00:25:13,460
 We know a great defense starts up front, and the Falcons start with Jaden White, your defensive tackle.

503
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:18,980
 Whether stopping the run or disrupting that quarterback, Jaden has the right tools, puts in the hard work,

504
00:25:19,060 --> 00:25:21,880
 and has the right training to stop the offensive threat of opposing teams.

505
00:25:22,380 --> 00:25:26,560
 Let Cypress Creek Indoor Range provide you with the tools, training, and resources to defend your family.

506
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,540
 We're the biggest gun store in the Shoals, and the only indoor shooting range and training center

507
00:25:30,540 --> 00:25:33,840
 to provide everything you need to have the best defense for your family.

508
00:25:34,340 --> 00:25:38,520
 Cypress Creek Indoor Range is located at 5060, Highway 157, and Underwood, Petersville.

509
00:25:39,020 --> 00:25:42,080
 On the web, cypresscreekrange.com, and on social media.

510
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,100
 Go Falcons!

511
00:25:43,340 --> 00:25:46,040
 This is Miranda Haddock with the Florence Education Foundation.

512
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:51,780
 We would like to extend an invitation to our ninth annual Salsa Showdown on Saturday, October 3rd,

513
00:25:51,780 --> 00:25:54,200
 from 2 to 5 p.m. at Singing River Brewery.

514
00:25:54,340 --> 00:25:58,940
 Restaurants and individuals from around the shows will compete to see who has the best salsa and queso.

515
00:25:59,180 --> 00:26:01,160
 Enjoy live music and a fun-filled day.

516
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:06,300
 For tickets and more information, visit our website at florenceducationfoundation.org.

517
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,300
 I would like to thank our Silver and Gold sponsors, Forsyth & Long, Bank Independent, Chick-fil-A,

518
00:26:11,540 --> 00:26:16,480

519
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,620
 Johnson & Mayhand Dental, Long Lewis, Florence, River Bank & Trust, and United Community Bank.

520
00:26:21,620 --> 00:26:25,500
 And a special thank you to our title sponsor this year, TNT Fireworks.

521
00:26:26,020 --> 00:26:32,240
 Hello, my name is Debra Bell Passuer, and I'm an attorney with the law firm of Johnson, Passuer, Medley & Burchell.

522
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:35,800
 Please don't call an out-of-town lawyer when you can call our law firm,

523
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,580
 which has over 100 years of combined experience in all areas of the law.

524
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:41,840
 Check us out first.

525
00:26:42,140 --> 00:26:49,240
 Please call me, Leslie Johnson, Keith Medley, Adam Burchell, at 256-766-3131.

526
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,480
 We are proud to be a sponsor of Florence High School Athletics.

527
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,400
 No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed

528
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,860
 is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.

529
00:27:00,540 --> 00:27:04,000
 Game day's coming, and your tailgate crew is counting on you.

530
00:27:04,140 --> 00:27:07,580
 That's why Lost Pizza Company, Shoals, put together the tailgate playbook,

531
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,860
 specialty pizzas, wing trays, and subplatters, all built to feed a crowd.

532
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:15,360
 It's why we're the go-to pizza place in Florence, Alabama,

533
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,120
 now bringing that same lineup straight to your tailgate.

534
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,860

535
00:27:20,860 --> 00:27:27,420
 Call 256-415-8693 or order online at lostpizza.com front slash Shoals.

536
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,160
 From our playbook to your plate.

537
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:43,040
 3-0 Florence against 3-0 Russell, the TNT Fireworks pregame show,

538
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,880
 as we're about 30 minutes away, just over 30 minutes away,

539
00:27:45,980 --> 00:27:49,060
 from a big matchup here in Class 5A tonight.

540
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:49,960
 Should be a fun one.

541
00:27:50,020 --> 00:27:52,940
 Kevin Johnson, Mike Albertson on the call, our statistician, John McDaniel,

542
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,060
 and our sideline guru, Mr. Jeffrey Jones.

543
00:27:56,180 --> 00:27:57,160
 Glad to be with you tonight.

544
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,100
 Mike, let's talk about our kiddo, the rookie, Kayon Williams.

545
00:28:02,740 --> 00:28:05,820
 His play last week, name it, which one you want to talk about,

546
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,800
 because there was two that were just outstanding.

547
00:28:08,260 --> 00:28:10,440
 You know, and he's really had some highlights.

548
00:28:10,580 --> 00:28:13,420
 If you really look at the first three games, he's had some highlights

549
00:28:13,420 --> 00:28:16,280
 where you go, whoa, this kid just moves different, you know,

550
00:28:16,340 --> 00:28:20,160
 and you could tell that he's a special back that's really burst onto the scene.

551
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,180
 He's quick, makes guys miss.

552
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:28,280
 He has spin moves and all sorts of moves that just – it's really, for such a young back,

553
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:34,140
 he's about as explosive as we've seen since a young man that you may have heard of,

554
00:28:34,220 --> 00:28:34,780
 Armani Goodwin.

555
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:37,940
 He really is – I mean, has that breakaway speed as well,

556
00:28:38,020 --> 00:28:42,420
 maybe not just quite as quick yet, but has really impressed thus far.

557
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,980
 I think that's a pretty honest statement right there, and I agree with that.

558
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,120
 John McDaniel Russell has a few offensive weapons of their own.

559
00:28:50,220 --> 00:28:53,960
 We've got to remember, not only is this a different offense as far as scheme,

560
00:28:54,060 --> 00:28:54,920
 but they've got some talent.

561
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,040
 They've got some matchup problems, Kevin.

562
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:02,700
 First thing that jumped out on film was they have a tight end who is listed at 6'6",

563
00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:07,940
 well over 200 pounds, and he appears legitimate that height,

564
00:29:08,020 --> 00:29:10,720
 and he is a problem, goes up and gets balls in the air,

565
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,680
 super big catch radius for a high school player.

566
00:29:14,820 --> 00:29:17,120
 Have some very quick running backs.

567
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,640
 They're very physical on their offensive line,

568
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,180
 and their wide receivers, while not – don't appear to be –

569
00:29:24,180 --> 00:29:27,960
 they're listed in the 5'8 to 5'9 range, but they have good speed.

570
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,300
 They're very effective blockers, and the moment you forget about them,

571
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,220
 they're past you in catching touchdowns.

572
00:29:33,420 --> 00:29:34,820
 That's well put right there.

573
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:37,200
 It's two really good teams tonight.

574
00:29:37,340 --> 00:29:41,180
 Russell, coached by Daryl Higgins, 110 and 27 in his career.

575
00:29:41,620 --> 00:29:42,020
 That's right.

576
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,500
 When he was at Mars Hill, 110 and 27.

577
00:29:44,620 --> 00:29:47,700
 I had three on, so he was outstanding at Mars Hill.

578
00:29:47,700 --> 00:29:50,420
 And by the way, just a side note, I think the first year he was 0-10.

579
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,220
 I think it was an 0-10 season, so give him that –

580
00:29:53,220 --> 00:29:55,020
 that's pretty impressive to see what he's done.

581
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,040
 The program he took over at Mars Hill was bad.

582
00:29:59,120 --> 00:29:59,800
 It was at the bottom.

583
00:30:00,180 --> 00:30:02,160
 It is amazing what he was able to accomplish.

584
00:30:02,180 --> 00:30:05,160
 It is, and I've said for a couple of the past year or two,

585
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,180
 I said they need to put his name on the stadium over there.

586
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,960
 He absolutely deserves it.

587
00:30:08,980 --> 00:30:11,340
 He has four state titles to his name as well.

588
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,320
 But the Florence Falcons have a pretty good veteran coach, too,

589
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,340
 who also has a state title under his belt in Kenny Marson.

590
00:30:17,340 --> 00:30:19,720
 And he was the head coach at Fayetteville High School in Tennessee

591
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,800
 and took a team that had struggled some

592
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,960
 and in two years went to the state championship.

593
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,020
 He has done a good job at Florence, just at Florence alone, 28-19.

594
00:30:28,500 --> 00:30:31,720
 He's taken the Falcons to the playoffs each and every year.

595
00:30:31,820 --> 00:30:35,540
 And as I said, both these coaches, friends, graduates of Coffey High School,

596
00:30:35,940 --> 00:30:37,140
 ties to Brawley Stadium.

597
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,360
 So it should be a fun one tonight, that's for sure.

598
00:30:39,460 --> 00:30:41,920
 Florence and Russell will meet for the fifth time.

599
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,400
 They're 2-2 in the first four games.

600
00:30:44,740 --> 00:30:49,120
 Last time these two teams played, 2011 here, Florence won at 35-18.

601
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,400
 Jeffrey Jones, I don't know if you can hear me down there or not.

602
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,780
 You got me, J.J.?

603
00:30:52,780 --> 00:30:54,880
 We've been having some technical difficulties.

604
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:55,840
 Let's see if we've got him.

605
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,260
 He's still close by.

606
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,560
 He's still working, getting all these things.

607
00:30:58,660 --> 00:30:59,760
 We're trying to get his sideline.

608
00:31:00,140 --> 00:31:03,060
 A lot of concrete and brick here has deflected to some,

609
00:31:03,340 --> 00:31:04,820
 so we may not get a coach's interview.

610
00:31:05,220 --> 00:31:09,140
 But I'll say this, what I was going to ask Jeffrey is, as I said,

611
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,740
 Florence won the last time here in 2011.

612
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,320
 Happened to be the final game of Alvin Briggs as head coach at Florence High School.

613
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,400
 We've gone on to the AHSAA executive director.

614
00:31:19,780 --> 00:31:20,780
 So it should be a good one.

615
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,240
 Teams are breaking up now, getting ready to do punt formations

616
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,100
 and close to going to the locker room.

617
00:31:27,420 --> 00:31:28,860
 Should be a good game here tonight.

618
00:31:28,860 --> 00:31:33,200
 As we go to break tonight, we want to remember the 25th anniversary of 9-11

619
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,620
 that forever changed our nation.

620
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:38,180
 Tonight, we remember the lives lost, the families forever affected,

621
00:31:38,620 --> 00:31:41,440
 and the courage for the first responders and our brave soldiers

622
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,400
 that continually protect us day after day.

623
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,700
 May God continue to bless America.

624
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:47,200
 This is Florence Falcon Football.

625
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,640
 We're back in one minute.

626
00:31:50,580 --> 00:31:53,820

 you'll no longer have paper bills filling up your mailbox,

630
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:03,820

648
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,340
 The first year these two teams tingled was in 2006 at the close of the regular season.

649
00:32:58,940 --> 00:33:04,060
 The Golden Tigers had been ranked number one all season in Class 5A and were undefeated at 9-0.

650
00:33:04,660 --> 00:33:08,960
 Meanwhile, Florence and Class 6A, and only in their third season as a school and a team,

651
00:33:09,340 --> 00:33:12,780
 were 5-4 and had just clinched a playoff berth the week before.

652
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,980
 The Golden Tigers were a prolific team, an outstanding running game

653
00:33:16,980 --> 00:33:20,400
 that had scored over 40 points in five of their first nine games.

654
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,120
 Meanwhile, the Falcons would be huge underdogs going into this game.

655
00:33:24,860 --> 00:33:28,000
 On that Friday morning in 2006, during our team breakfast,

656
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,840
 I gave the David and Goliath story to the team.

657
00:33:30,940 --> 00:33:33,540
 At the end of the talk, I even said to each player,

658
00:33:33,660 --> 00:33:34,640
 I have something for you.

659
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,220
 I gave each one of them a small, smooth stone to carry in their pocket

660
00:33:38,220 --> 00:33:42,980
 to remind them all day long that they were prepared to face the giant awaiting them that night.

661
00:33:43,620 --> 00:33:47,980
 One of our assistant coaches, Coach Peoples, had two young sons who were our ball boys,

662
00:33:48,180 --> 00:33:52,440
 and on the way to school, he asked the boys if they enjoyed the team breakfast and my talk.

663
00:33:52,940 --> 00:33:54,520
 One of them said, yes, sir, Daddy.

664
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:58,160
 Tonight, when we see Russellville, we're going to throw our rocks at them.

665
00:33:58,780 --> 00:34:02,820
 Needless to say, they had to give their rocks up a little bit before the game time.

666
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,480
 But the Falcons team of 2006 did not forget their stone.

667
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,000
 That night, behind an amazing defensive effort at Brawley Stadium,

668
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,160
 Florence upset the number one ranked team in the state.

669
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:19,060
 Still to this day, men from that team tell me that they still have the rock from the Russellville game.

670
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,080
 Tonight, Florence and Russellville renewed this series.

671
00:34:22,580 --> 00:34:27,180
 I'm not sure there is a David in this battle, but it does appear there are a few Goliaths in this region.

672
00:34:27,740 --> 00:34:32,820
 Both teams are 3-0, looking to take a major step toward region play and a win tonight.

673
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,540
 It won't be easy for the Falcons, but some 20 years later,

674
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,560
 maybe this 2026 Falcons team can pull out their slingshot one more time

675
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,240
 and take down the Golden Tigers.

676
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,100
 Oh, and by the way, I still have my rock from that night as well.

677
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:52,400
 It's time to see who will remain undefeated after four games.

678
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,860
 Florence and Russellville, it starts right now.

679
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,960
 Back here at Golden Tigers Stadium, Kevin Johnson, voice of the Falcons,

680
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,080
 glad to be with you tonight.

681
00:35:03,620 --> 00:35:06,220
 Florence Falcons have gone to the locker room after warming up.

682
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,120
 It's a youth night here for the Golden Tigers.

683
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:10,880
 They've got a lot of kids walking around the track.

684
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,200
 Their team is still warming up.

685
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:13,860
 They don't wear their jerseys.

686
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,360
 They just wear helmets and shirts underneath and the pants there,

687
00:35:17,460 --> 00:35:19,380
 so we'll see what jerseys they wear for sure.

688
00:35:19,460 --> 00:35:22,160
 I know there are guys not dressed up wearing gold jerseys,

689
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,640
 but that doesn't always mean that the team will wear gold,

690
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,440
 so we'll keep an eye on that as well.

691
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:28,880
 Mike Albertson, let's talk about the Florence Falcons.

692
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,340
 Nate Pride up front.

693
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,480
 We talk about Jaden White so much, and he's outstanding,

694
00:35:33,620 --> 00:35:35,180
 but Nate Pride has started to flash.

695
00:35:35,340 --> 00:35:38,980
 I mean, he's flashed big, and he's just a great running mate.

696
00:35:39,060 --> 00:35:41,820
 What makes him such a great running mate with number 95?

697
00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:44,320
 He commands his own respect as well,

698
00:35:44,540 --> 00:35:47,200
 so it takes the heat off of 95 a little bit,

699
00:35:47,300 --> 00:35:49,780
 but what's impressed me the most about Nate,

700
00:35:49,900 --> 00:35:52,600
 not only his hard work and his effort during the game,

701
00:35:53,020 --> 00:35:57,020
 but during pass plays, his ability to time things properly,

702
00:35:57,180 --> 00:36:01,020
 to really disrupt the passing lanes and put his paws up

703
00:36:01,020 --> 00:36:02,700
 and really knock down passes.

704
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,400
 He's done that so many times over the last couple of years,

705
00:36:05,940 --> 00:36:09,020
 but really and truly, he's his own animal,

706
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,000
 and you've got to key on him just as much as you've got to key on 95,

707
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:15,880
 and it just makes it more disruptive for that offense

708
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,580
 to have to deal with those two big guys up front.

709
00:36:17,940 --> 00:36:22,120
 John McDaniel, our status addition, a former player on college level as well.

710
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,120
 What made you know when you were facing a good offensive line?

711
00:36:25,180 --> 00:36:26,320
 What was the key for you?

712
00:36:26,540 --> 00:36:30,100
 Well, first thing you always check, you always want to see how big they are,

713
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:32,920
 just because sometimes if they're super tall,

714
00:36:32,980 --> 00:36:35,180
 they're just hard to see around just physically,

715
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,360
 even if they're not very good,

716
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,700
 but the first thing really is how well they work together.

717
00:36:40,220 --> 00:36:41,780
 Do their team work well?

718
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,140
 Are they in sync?

719
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,040
 Good offensive lines hang out together.

720
00:36:46,180 --> 00:36:47,100
 They go eat together.

721
00:36:47,260 --> 00:36:49,520
 You always find all five of them together,

722
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,480
 and the reason is because that chemistry and camaraderie,

723
00:36:52,540 --> 00:36:54,280
 it flows onto the field.

724
00:36:54,700 --> 00:36:56,380
 They are able to double team.

725
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,500
 They know exactly what moment they're going to leave.

726
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:02,920
 The second really point is physicality.

727
00:37:03,020 --> 00:37:05,320
 When they come off the ball, are they tough?

728
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:06,520
 Do they hit you?

729
00:37:06,660 --> 00:37:08,960
 Do they stay on your blocks, and do they drive,

730
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,320
 or do they just kind of get in your way?

731
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,400
 So which type of game are you going to have?

732
00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:17,560
 As a defender, you want the ones who want to get in your way,

733
00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:20,080
 the ones who want to rattle your chin strap.

734
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:26,460
 Those are fun, but they're harder to play against just in general.

735
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:29,380
 That's why our crew is the best crew, I think, in high school football.

736
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:33,840
 I'm a little prejudiced on that and biased, but, man, they give great insight.

737
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:34,540
 They know the game.

738
00:37:34,620 --> 00:37:37,080
 They know the teams, and I appreciate all these guys and what they do,

739
00:37:37,140 --> 00:37:38,760
 and Jeffrey Jones, you're one of that crew for sure.

740
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:45,500
 It's been a frustrating night for you because there's 10,000 pounds of concrete and bricks all around.

741
00:37:45,580 --> 00:37:47,760
 Are you going to be able to get on the air a little bit with us?

742
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,120
 Well, I will not be on the sidelines on the air tonight, unfortunately.

743
00:37:51,340 --> 00:37:53,060
 There will be no interviewing coach.

744
00:37:53,300 --> 00:37:56,600
 I will go down without headphones and do the coin toss,

745
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,660
 but too much concrete, too much, you know, sometimes it doesn't work out.

746
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,700
 It feels like we're at Wicks Family Field in Huntsville.

747
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,900
 Not next year, but the next year, I think it would be a good idea for us to set up in the stands on the away side,

748
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:09,420
 but that's okay.

749
00:38:09,580 --> 00:38:11,480
 I'm going to go down there and I'm going to watch the game,

750
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:16,240
 and I'm going to have some good intel and feedback at halftime.

751
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,060
 Is there less concrete across the way?

752
00:38:18,140 --> 00:38:21,300
 I mean, it looks just the same, aside from this big deal.

753
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:21,940
 The enclosed concrete.

754
00:38:22,340 --> 00:38:23,500
 Yeah, thank you.

755
00:38:23,860 --> 00:38:24,640
 Enclosed concrete.

756
00:38:25,140 --> 00:38:26,580
 I mean, I tried my best.

757
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,520
 It's so much static, I'd have the ear damage if I even kept my headphones on at that point.

758
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:36,520
 So, it's all good.

759
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:39,300
 You know, if you hear from me, I'll be up here in the booth.

760
00:38:39,380 --> 00:38:43,220
 We might try to trick you and say I'm on the sidelines, but I'll probably be up here.

761
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,620
 You'll make yourself around.

762
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:48,740
 I do want to get a close look at this offense, so I will have some,

763
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,720
 hopefully I'll have some good feedback for us, maybe between quarters and a halftime.

764
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:53,160
 J-Mac?

765
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,500
 If J.J.'s not going to be on air, it may be our most popular broadcast we've had all season.

766
00:38:58,500 --> 00:38:59,080
 We could be.

767
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,700
 We've talked about that when he wasn't up here.

768
00:39:00,740 --> 00:39:01,200
 That's okay.

769
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:02,440
 That's a possibility.

770
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,260
 No, he's the best sideline guy around.

771
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:05,500
 I will ask you this, Jeffrey.

772
00:39:05,820 --> 00:39:09,900
 This stadium, though it has a lot of concrete brick and we're up in a concrete room,

773
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:11,320
 it is a great facility.

774
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,620
 And what stood out to you maybe being down on the field?

775
00:39:13,780 --> 00:39:17,860
 So, we always like to tour the facilities, especially places we've never been before.

776
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,440
 You know, we've been to all these other places.

777
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:20,280
 You know, we've been to Austin.

778
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,000
 We've been to Bob Jones.

779
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,800
 We've been to Huntsville, you know, so many times.

780
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,400
 Well, it's good and refreshing to get somewhere new.

781
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,280
 Now, I've played a game on this.

782
00:39:28,340 --> 00:39:30,280
 I've played games on this field, and I've

783
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,100
 taken pictures on this field for Florence.

784
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:37,620
 But at the end of the day, they didn't have some of these facilities last time we were here.

785
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:47,960
 And, you know, now me and John got to, earlier today, go and tour their facility, their hospitality room and that sort of thing.

786
00:39:48,020 --> 00:39:52,820
 They've got a nice little second story with some rocking chairs and whatnot for the coaches and families.

787
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:58,060
 But one thing that they really, you could tell all their trophy cases, they had a lot of tradition.

788
00:39:58,780 --> 00:40:04,680
 You know, everyone, you know, they had Chucky Mullins, a nice little tribute to him.

789
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:13,340
 Brent Calloway, you know, quite a few others that, and if you went on to play college ball from Russell, your picture is on the wall up there.

790
00:40:13,780 --> 00:40:16,260
 And that's, you know, they take a lot of pride.

791
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,020
 There's a lot of history in this program.

792
00:40:18,300 --> 00:40:19,500
 I mean, we've said it before.

793
00:40:19,580 --> 00:40:20,200
 We'll say it again.

794
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:23,700
 It's a lot of history with the Russell football team.

795
00:40:23,940 --> 00:40:25,560
 So, I'm looking forward to tonight.

796
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:26,700
 I think it's going to be a great game.

797
00:40:27,220 --> 00:40:29,480
 We're fouling in pretty slowly over there across the way.

798
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,500
 But, you know, it's, I'll tell you what, Russell, they're going to fill up this side.

799
00:40:34,900 --> 00:40:36,300
 They're going to fill up the stands on this side.

800
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,500
 So, we've got to have a good showing on the other side as well.

801
00:40:38,620 --> 00:40:42,180
 I'll tell you what, Jeffrey, I think if you sit in the middle of this Russell student section,

802
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:45,320
 I don't think they'll ever notice with that blue shirt and blue jacket on.

803
00:40:45,660 --> 00:40:47,200
 And I think you can be heard pretty easily.

804
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:47,780
 Just sit over here.

805
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:48,520
 Nobody will ever notice.

806
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:53,140
 I do have a young face, but I think they'd pick me out.

807
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,260
 I might not make it out of there healthy.

808
00:40:55,540 --> 00:40:56,920
 Let's look at the Florence Falcons.

809
00:40:57,060 --> 00:40:59,520
 Potential starting offensive line for the 3-0 Falcons.

810
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,780
 Coached by Kenny Marson, offensive coordinator, by the way, Cade McGuire,

811
00:41:02,860 --> 00:41:06,800
 in one of our interviews last night on the Thursday night show from Lost Pizza, did a great job.

812
00:41:07,140 --> 00:41:14,120
 Falcons come into this game averaging 280 yards rushing the game, 40 yards passing, 320 yards a game,

813
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:16,540
 and really putting up a lot of points, too.

814
00:41:16,540 --> 00:41:20,920
 So, an impressive start for the Florence Falcons for a 3-0 start.

815
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,500
 Let's look at the potential starting lineup, and it starts up front.

816
00:41:23,940 --> 00:41:27,040
 Jacob Harper, 57, 5'11", 245 junior.

817
00:41:27,420 --> 00:41:31,280
 He will be called on tonight to be the center, do a good job, and snaps are essential.

818
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,720
 He's done good all for maybe except one, but he got bailed out on that.

819
00:41:35,020 --> 00:41:37,440
 But I think that's one of those learning lessons you learn from it.

820
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,300
 Hopefully, he'll do a good job tonight.

821
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:40,840
 Dre Moore will be one of the guards.

822
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:41,980
 He has been outstanding.

823
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,720
 The senior, 5'10", 255.

824
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,940
 And also, Armani Hernandez, as well, will beat the other guard.

825
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,360
 Number 68, 5'11", 270.

826
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:55,460
 Those two guards in that center up front, they have really done a good job on the interior part of the offensive line.

827
00:41:55,620 --> 00:41:56,720
 They absolutely have.

828
00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:06,140
 Early on in this season, we saw that there were steps and leaps and bounds ahead of where they were in the beginning of seasons of years past.

829
00:42:06,340 --> 00:42:13,360
 So, this offensive line has done a great job thus far, and I'm looking forward to watching them continue to grow as a unit.

830
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,000
 The two tackles will be Raymond Russell, the sophomore, 6'1", 280.

831
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:19,460
 Where's number 71?

832
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:21,740
 And Orlando Rounds, I believe, gets the start tonight.

833
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:22,580
 Where's number 65?

834
00:42:22,580 --> 00:42:27,800
 You know, Orlando came in and filled in for a player that got injured a little bit, C.J. Bolin.

835
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,660
 C.J. got shook up, and Orlando has played well, and C.J. is still heating up.

836
00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:33,960
 So, really, you've got three guys that you can put at tackle.

837
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,320
 That's good to have that depth right there.

838
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:36,000
 Oh, absolutely.

839
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:43,860
 You know, just any time that you're able to build depth, that next man up mentality and just being able to contribute when your number is called is so important,

840
00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:48,440
 especially at the high school level that, you know, when coach has options, that's a positive thing.

841
00:42:48,980 --> 00:42:49,400
 It is.

842
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:57,580
 Now, let's look at quarterback, Costin Mahan, 6'2", 225, the sophomore, 21-50 on the season, 157 yards, two touchdowns.

843
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,640
 John McDaniel, I'm going to come to you right quick.

844
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:04,680
 He's really just been called on to manage a little bit, but that's what you want out of sophomore quarterback, take care of the football.

845
00:43:05,060 --> 00:43:08,440
 First and foremost, you want to eliminate mistakes.

846
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:22,160
 We can deal with not big plays, missed passes, but the first thing you want to eliminate is turnovers, huge mistakes that lose lots of yards,

847
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,720
 and he has done a good job of managing that.

848
00:43:24,940 --> 00:43:28,920
 He throws the ball away when he gets out of the pocket and can't, doesn't have receivers.

849
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:37,500
 Hey, playing second down and 10 is great compared to second and 21 if you try to make a play and get sacked.

850
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,800
 So he's doing a great job with that.

851
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,980
 We'll worry about his development as the season goes.

852
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,280
 He doesn't have reps.

853
00:43:44,660 --> 00:43:49,620
 Every play he's getting better, and it's getting – the game is slowing down, and he's playing better.

854
00:43:49,780 --> 00:43:50,520
 I agree with that.

855
00:43:50,620 --> 00:43:53,240
 I've got a feeling tonight might – could be one of his breakout nights.

856
00:43:53,340 --> 00:43:54,140
 That's just me personally.

857
00:43:54,540 --> 00:43:57,720
 I think tonight could be his night to really shine a little bit, so we look forward to that.

858
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,800
 Sullivan Haddock will be one of his receivers.

859
00:44:00,180 --> 00:44:02,920
 The senior, 6'3", 170, wears number 80.

860
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,560
 Nelson Elliott, the other receiver, 6'1", 170, a senior will play the eight-some.

861
00:44:08,020 --> 00:44:10,440
 By the way, Nelson Elliott was one of our interviews last night,

862
00:44:10,580 --> 00:44:14,600
 and on our games that we've done, our broadcast at Lost Pizza,

863
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,280
 whenever I did those broadcasts, the seniors that I broadcast with on Thursday night

864
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:19,500
 used to have good games on Friday.

865
00:44:20,620 --> 00:44:22,740
 Good game tonight as well, and keep that going on.

866
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,080
 Kevontae Green will be in there a lot, 6'3", 220, a senior.

867
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,560
 He has leads to the Falcons in catches, eight receptions, 69 yards, and a touchdown.

868
00:44:31,060 --> 00:44:36,420
 You're also hearing there some John Carter Gillespie, 5'11", 165,

869
00:44:36,500 --> 00:44:39,120
 five receptions, 30 yards so far on the season.

870
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:40,620
 Tripp Marsh will play some.

871
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,740
 Justin Kirkman, the sophomore, will play some.

872
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,840
 So lots of receivers interchangeable for this Falcon team, no doubt about that.

873
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,780
 And then the tight ends in H-back.

874
00:44:49,900 --> 00:44:51,480
 Mitch Boyd will be one of those.

875
00:44:51,580 --> 00:44:53,820
 He wears number 20, 5'9", 195, a senior.

876
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,280
 And Kirkland Blank, 5'10", 200-pound junior, wears number 24.

877
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,760
 Those two guys are playing a ton.

878
00:45:00,140 --> 00:45:06,060
 And as they play a ton, it's going to be important for them to continue to be a big part of this lineup

879
00:45:06,060 --> 00:45:14,020
 because what they do is, as tight ends and H-backs, they really just take care of the football on that side as well.

880
00:45:16,180 --> 00:45:20,380
 Also tonight, our running backs will be Kayon Williams.

881
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:29,340
 Kayon is 5'10", 180, a sophomore, wears number 10, 33 carries for 333 yards on the season and five touchdowns,

882
00:45:29,340 --> 00:45:33,000
 not including a touchdown kickoff return that he had as well.

883
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:41,300
 DeCarson Johnson will be in there a lot at running back, wears number zero, 42 rushes, 357 yards, two touchdowns, 5'10", 175.

884
00:45:41,300 --> 00:45:42,100
 He is a senior.

885
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:48,680
 And by the way, just a little note, you might hear the name Ja'Kylan Williams, the sophomore.

886
00:45:48,940 --> 00:45:51,680
 Ja'Kylan Williams will be wearing number 42 tonight.

887
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,380
 He's played running back as a youngster.

888
00:45:54,820 --> 00:45:56,520
 And they said, you know, we want to give him a look.

889
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:57,920
 Had a good week of practice.

890
00:45:58,020 --> 00:46:01,140
 Wouldn't be surprised to see him sneaking there for a play or two as well.

891
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,940
 He has great speed as well.

892
00:46:03,020 --> 00:46:06,040
 The kicker, Parker Greenhall, wears number 81, a senior.

893
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,560
 Parker Greenhall is going to win a game for this Falcons team before it's over with this season

894
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:11,760
 because he's a senior.

895
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,840
 He's proven himself already in three games with Mike.

896
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,900
 It's good to have a very good kicker that you can depend on.

897
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:17,580
 Oh, absolutely.

898
00:46:17,860 --> 00:46:22,620
 I mean, we've had, you know, some great kickers as the years have gone on.

899
00:46:22,620 --> 00:46:25,200
 We had the Charlie Graves game last year in Oxford.

900
00:46:26,100 --> 00:46:29,980
 That's what I affectionately call it where Charlie Graves made all the scoring there for the Falcons.

901
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:31,260
 Four field goals.

902
00:46:31,260 --> 00:46:32,160
 Four field goals.

903
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:33,880
 And then the Falcons came away with the victory.

904
00:46:34,140 --> 00:46:35,860
 But, you know, and we had Chandler Dixon.

905
00:46:36,020 --> 00:46:38,860
 And we could go down the list of, you know, Falcon kickers.

906
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:44,340
 But Greenhall has definitely made it to where he's felt an impact already

907
00:46:44,340 --> 00:46:46,140
 and made an impact on this squad already.

908
00:46:46,820 --> 00:46:52,900
 Florence is averaging 34 points a game, giving up only seven a game as a defense in three games.

909
00:46:52,900 --> 00:46:56,320
 It's Russell's averaging 28 points per game, giving up 18 per game.

910
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:02,120
 That right there tells you these are two really good teams who faced early on three really good opponents.

911
00:47:02,460 --> 00:47:04,880
 So it'll be interesting to see how that plays out as well.

912
00:47:05,180 --> 00:47:09,200
 Mike, not only players tonight have to control their emotions, but coaches too.

913
00:47:09,300 --> 00:47:11,140
 You've got to stay focused in a game like this.

914
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,860
 You can't get caught up in the coach across the way.

915
00:47:14,180 --> 00:47:15,420
 You've just got to do your job.

916
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:16,380
 Oh, absolutely.

917
00:47:16,380 --> 00:47:21,820
 You know, it's one of those situations where, you know, sometimes the team takes the personality of the coach.

918
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:28,000
 And if the coach is losing his mind and really, you know, the other teams in his head, it's going to let the players know.

919
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:30,420
 So Coach Morrison, he's been around the block.

920
00:47:30,500 --> 00:47:32,100
 He's played in some, you know, big games.

921
00:47:32,140 --> 00:47:33,440
 He's coached some big games.

922
00:47:33,500 --> 00:47:39,940
 So he knows the task at hand is not only getting himself ready, but getting his coaches to kind of keep their head straight and focused.

923
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:41,840
 It should be good as well.

924
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,260
 We've been getting some people from Russell come by and telling us thank you.

925
00:47:44,580 --> 00:47:48,140
 They've been great hospitality with us, coming by and checking us two or three times.

926
00:47:48,180 --> 00:47:49,120
 We appreciate that.

927
00:47:49,340 --> 00:47:50,860
 And, you know, let's be honest about it, Mike.

928
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:55,300
 We've been a lot of places that we were kicked to the edge, to the side of the road to broadcast.

929
00:47:56,020 --> 00:47:58,520
 They have rolled out the red carpet for us, and kudos to Russell.

930
00:47:58,700 --> 00:48:00,280
 And that's Muscle Shows did last week as well.

931
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:00,920
 Oh, absolutely.

932
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:03,220
 You know, we've definitely been taken care of here.

933
00:48:03,500 --> 00:48:06,360
 And, you know, Principal Norman Lear has come by personally.

934
00:48:06,700 --> 00:48:07,760
 That was just who came in.

935
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,800
 And that was very nice of them and really feel welcome here.

936
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,500
 Countdown to kickoff continues here on the TNT Fireworks pregame show.

937
00:48:14,740 --> 00:48:18,780
 We're back here at Russellville Golden Tiger Stadium after this three-minute timeout.

938
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:26,200

944
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,220
 Hi, I'm Dr. Brady Citizen with Treehouse Children's Dentistry.

945
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:29,640
 We're so excited to see you soon at Treehouse Children's Dentistry, a branch of Singing River Dentistry.

946
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,960
 Hello, this is Kevin Arnold with Village Discount Drugs.

947
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,000
 We've been in the Shoals since 1979.

948
00:49:35,380 --> 00:49:37,220
 We live here, we go to school here.

949
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:41,620
 Do you want to do business with someone local or a company from Rhode Island, Illinois, or Arkansas?

950
00:49:41,860 --> 00:49:44,480
 The large chains just don't reinvest in our community.

951
00:49:44,620 --> 00:49:48,980
 The large chains don't sponsor Little League teams, and they certainly don't sponsor Falcon Football.

952
00:49:49,180 --> 00:49:52,420
 And don't just buy from Village Drugs, but support all our local businesses.

953
00:49:52,660 --> 00:49:57,580
 Let these local businesses give you the service you deserve while keeping your local economy strong.

954
00:49:57,580 --> 00:50:00,260
 So make the switch to Village Drugs, a local pharmacy.

955
00:50:00,420 --> 00:50:03,080
 For we are the Shoals' problem solvers and people pleasers.

956
00:50:03,460 --> 00:50:07,180

962
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,620
 Getting the kids to practice on time.

963
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:42,820
 Remembering if it's your day to bring snacks.

964
00:50:43,300 --> 00:50:45,100
 Making it to the game with a clean jersey.

965
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,960
 Why are simple things sometimes so complicated?

966
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,220
 Thankfully, with auto owners, insurance doesn't have to be one of them.

967
00:50:51,580 --> 00:50:56,580
 Auto owners works with independent agents who answer when you call, so you can worry about more important things.

968
00:50:56,940 --> 00:50:59,720
 Like whether your kid is going to run toward first or third base.

969
00:51:00,260 --> 00:51:01,560
 That's simple human sense.

970
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:08,500
 In Florence, call Tyson Johnson, Luke Brown, Kirby Allen, Victoria Devaney, Brant Bishop, or Daniel Box with Henniger Johnson and Layton Insurance Agency.

971
00:51:08,820 --> 00:51:11,300
 256-764-8682.

972
00:51:11,860 --> 00:51:16,800
 Carbine Construction is honored to be a part of building projects with the Florence City School System.

973
00:51:17,340 --> 00:51:21,500
 We're also glad to cheer on the Falcons as they celebrate milestone achievements as well.

974
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:27,140
 Good luck to head coach Kenny Morrison and the Florence Falcons football team on building a special season to remember

975
00:51:27,140 --> 00:51:30,540
 as Carbine Construction wishes you the very best this season.

976
00:51:30,940 --> 00:51:35,440
 Remember, at Carbine Construction, we build trust, we build relationships,

977
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:41,000
 and like the Florence Falcons football team, at Carbine Construction, we continue to build.

978
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,340
 Get your popcorn ready if you're listening to this one.

979
00:51:51,780 --> 00:51:54,880
 Florence and Russell, undefeated teams in Class 5A football.

980
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,760
 One of these teams will be 4-0 before the end of the night.

981
00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:00,200
 Getting ready to tangle here at Golden Tiger Stadium.

982
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,620
 Kevin Johnson, Mike Albertson, Jeffrey Jones, John McDaniel.

983
00:52:02,700 --> 00:52:06,180
 Glad to be with you on the TNT fireworks pregame show.

984
00:52:06,300 --> 00:52:07,880
 Let's look at that Falcon defense right quick.

985
00:52:08,540 --> 00:52:12,280
 Up front, it'll be Jaden White, 6'3", 275, a junior.

986
00:52:12,700 --> 00:52:13,600
 He leads the Falcons.

987
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:15,660
 He is a Division I player.

988
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,140
 Only a junior, as I said.

989
00:52:17,220 --> 00:52:18,340
 He'll be talked about a lot.

990
00:52:18,460 --> 00:52:19,880
 Nate Pride, we talked about a minute ago.

991
00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:23,140
 Wears number 98, 6'2", 60, a junior as well.

992
00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:27,280
 And then on the other side on this three-man front, A.J. Dixon.

993
00:52:27,500 --> 00:52:29,880
 Only 5'9", but 240, a junior.

994
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,600
 Mike, to be the third guy on this team on the defense line, how about this?

995
00:52:34,700 --> 00:52:37,660
 One fumble recovery, one block punt, one touchdown.

996
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:38,320
 Not bad.

997
00:52:38,700 --> 00:52:39,480
 Not bad at all.

998
00:52:39,540 --> 00:52:43,600
 He's done a great job aside from those two other monsters and really up front.

999
00:52:43,700 --> 00:52:44,960
 They've been tough all year.

1000
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:50,100
 Bo Burski, number 26, outside linebacker, 6'1", 205.

1001
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:56,080
 He has 13 tackles on the season as a senior, seven tackles for losses, three sacks.

1002
00:52:56,220 --> 00:52:59,080
 Last week, he was all over the field, it seemed like.

1003
00:52:59,220 --> 00:53:00,260
 He certainly was.

1004
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,580
 And, you know, he had an outstanding year last year,

1005
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,860
 and you knew that he was going to come into this year as one of the leaders,

1006
00:53:04,860 --> 00:53:10,700
 and he's done that so far and just really has been a real bright spot here for the Falcons.

1007
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,640
 Jaden Martinez, the other outside linebacker, wears number 32, 5'10", 170, a junior.

1008
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,880
 He also had 19 tackles and a fumble recovery on the season.

1009
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:21,980
 The inside linebackers have really played well last week as well.

1010
00:53:22,340 --> 00:53:25,000
 Chase Winkle's number 19, the junior, 5'10", 180.

1011
00:53:25,420 --> 00:53:29,460
 He had an interception last week, returned it deep to set the tone early on for the Falcons.

1012
00:53:29,620 --> 00:53:33,820
 Jaden Irons, the other linebacker, number 23, 6'2", 215, a senior.

1013
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:36,680
 Mike, these two are really doing a good job.

1014
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,940
 It helps when you've got the defensive line in front of you.

1015
00:53:39,060 --> 00:53:39,920
 Oh, absolutely it does.

1016
00:53:40,180 --> 00:53:42,600
 But you've got to play, you've still got to play the position to make tackles.

1017
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,400
 You know, and they've done a great job.

1018
00:53:44,580 --> 00:53:49,980
 And, you know, it takes a lot of pressure off of the linebackers, you know,

1019
00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:53,060
 when the defensive line is as good as it is, you know,

1020
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,600
 being able to make the quarterback move his feet and getting, you know,

1021
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,040
 being able to shoot some real nice gaps there with the linebackers.

1022
00:54:00,500 --> 00:54:02,080
 It's been nice so far.

1023
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,500
 Starting cornerback for the Falcons tonight, number two, Des Brown,

1024
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,760
 who's been incredible, I think, for the first three games, 5'10", 175, a senior.

1025
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,000
 There's a photo I've got of him from the last play of the game last week.

1026
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,780
 It looked like he was 12 feet up in the air trying to knock a pass down to end the game.

1027
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,680
 So, he's got great leaping ability, good speed, and he's the shutdown corner, I think,

1028
00:54:20,900 --> 00:54:21,840
 before this year is over.

1029
00:54:21,900 --> 00:54:22,880
 He has really played well.

1030
00:54:23,180 --> 00:54:25,700
 On the other side, getting the start tonight, London Petty Poole,

1031
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:27,360
 who's played a lot in the first three games.

1032
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:28,940
 The cornerback will get a start.

1033
00:54:29,240 --> 00:54:34,580
 He's 5'8", 150 pounds, but he's got great quickness and great feet movement with his feet.

1034
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,480
 He moves his feet well, moves his hips well.

1035
00:54:36,860 --> 00:54:39,200
 So, the coaches really feel good about him starting.

1036
00:54:39,260 --> 00:54:41,460
 But you'll also see some others playing cornerback tonight.

1037
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:42,980
 They're going to rotate some in there.

1038
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,520
 So, you'll hear some other names like Jaden Allred will be in there some.

1039
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,320
 Caden Ward may play some as well.

1040
00:54:47,420 --> 00:54:49,080
 So, we'll keep a couple of eyes on that.

1041
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:53,700
 At safety, Landon Rayner, he'll be very important tonight, 6'165", a senior.

1042
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:58,480
 John, as a free safety, you can't get caught looking inside or the cookies will run by you.

1043
00:54:58,900 --> 00:54:59,900
 That's a great point.

1044
00:55:00,260 --> 00:55:02,320
 In the wing tee, that's certainly how it works.

1045
00:55:02,700 --> 00:55:07,220
 They're going to do a play action of the same action that you've seen on multiple runs.

1046
00:55:07,700 --> 00:55:11,180
 And the tight end, most likely, is always running towards the post.

1047
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,180
 And he will run right by you.

1048
00:55:13,220 --> 00:55:14,040
 He's fast enough.

1049
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:15,540
 He's certainly tall enough.

1050
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:22,380
 And eye discipline, I mentioned it prior, is going to be a winning factor tonight.

1051
00:55:22,460 --> 00:55:23,720
 It's not just going to be a key to the game.

1052
00:55:24,060 --> 00:55:25,740
 That's going to determine how we play on defense.

1053
00:55:25,740 --> 00:55:29,620
 And finally, the other free safety over there, or strong safety, excuse me,

1054
00:55:29,740 --> 00:55:33,840
 is Otis Sistrunk, Jr., number 6, 6'1", 2'10", a senior.

1055
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,300
 Otis, my man, when he makes plays, he gets me excited.

1056
00:55:36,740 --> 00:55:38,660
 He was amazing on the interview last night.

1057
00:55:38,720 --> 00:55:39,700
 Did a tremendous job.

1058
00:55:40,020 --> 00:55:43,180
 Appreciate him so much being with us last night there at Lost Pizza.

1059
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,320
 So, that's your potential starting lineup on defense as well.

1060
00:55:46,660 --> 00:55:47,940
 It's going to be a good one tonight.

1061
00:55:48,300 --> 00:55:49,360
 I can't tell, guys.

1062
00:55:49,380 --> 00:55:52,500
 I've sort of tried to check my radar, but it looks like maybe, fingers crossed,

1063
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:56,140
 it's dark skies around, but I think it's starting to clear up maybe a little bit.

1064
00:55:56,300 --> 00:55:58,340
 So, maybe we're going to take advantage of this.

1065
00:55:58,780 --> 00:56:01,100
 Usually, we'd have Jeffrey Jones on the sideline to give us that.

1066
00:56:01,220 --> 00:56:03,760
 JJ can't hear us during the first half.

1067
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,540
 But I think maybe we'll get clear of the rain.

1068
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:07,580
 We'll just keep an eye on it.

1069
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,860
 It could be a couple of showers coming through, but they said, meteorologists did,

1070
00:56:10,860 --> 00:56:15,760
 that the rain should dissipate close to maybe when sun going down.

1071
00:56:15,860 --> 00:56:16,980
 So, we'll see how it plays out.

1072
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,060
 John, it seems like it's still close to us coming this way now, right?

1073
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:25,580
 It looks like an updated one is not as promising.

1074
00:56:26,220 --> 00:56:32,660
 Maybe holds off just a little bit, maybe 30, 45 minutes, but there's a sail moving this way.

1075
00:56:33,020 --> 00:56:34,540
 We'll keep an eye on that tonight.

1076
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,880
 So, we hope they're not having any delays, but we'll find out how that goes here tonight.

1077
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,700
 So, across the way, captains for the Florence Falcons getting ready to come

1078
00:56:42,700 --> 00:56:45,220
 and have the toss of the coin in their road white uniforms.

1079
00:56:45,980 --> 00:56:48,960
 Checking on a couple of these there that I see across the way for Florence.

1080
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,860
 I believe I see number 20 as one of the captains, if I'm not mistaken, out there.

1081
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,000
 That would be Mitch Boyd, who plays tight end some.

1082
00:56:56,520 --> 00:57:00,160
 I also see Dez Brown will also be one of the captains tonight.

1083
00:57:00,860 --> 00:57:02,980
 Can't catch the other two right off the bat.

1084
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:03,660
 Number two.

1085
00:57:04,020 --> 00:57:05,400
 Yeah, I got Dez Brown on that.

1086
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:06,240
 Number 22.

1087
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:06,840
 Okay.

1088
00:57:06,980 --> 00:57:07,460
 Number 20.

1089
00:57:07,940 --> 00:57:11,180
 And number 88.

1090
00:57:11,500 --> 00:57:11,780
 All right.

1091
00:57:11,860 --> 00:57:14,180
 So, I think it's Locke Tejada will be number 88.

1092
00:57:14,580 --> 00:57:17,880
 And then number 22 tonight, captain, will be Austin Klotzbach.

1093
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:23,420
 So, Klotzbach and Tejada will join Brown and Boyd as the captains tonight.

1094
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,660
 Meanwhile, Russell in their gold uniforms, but they're good numbers, black and white.

1095
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:28,840
 So, you can see their numbers well.

1096
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:29,980
 Thank goodness for that.

1097
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:31,060
 Black helmets, black pants.

1098
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,760
 Their captains coming out, including their quarterback, who we haven't talked about enough,

1099
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,340
 Tripp Cleveland, a senior.

1100
00:57:36,660 --> 00:57:38,480
 He came out from basketball.

1101
00:57:38,620 --> 00:57:40,400
 He had played football, from what I understand.

1102
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:44,360
 And we got him to come out, play football, be a part of it.

1103
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,400
 He's turned into being the quarterback and has been an outstanding quarterback.

1104
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:51,460
 He'll be joined by Kiefer Hallmark out there and a couple of linemen as well.

1105
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:52,740
 We'll catch their names here.

1106
00:57:52,860 --> 00:57:54,180
 That's Romero Francisco.

1107
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:55,140
 That's fun to say.

1108
00:57:55,580 --> 00:57:57,480
 And then also, Uriel Alonzo.

1109
00:57:57,960 --> 00:57:59,740
 So, the captains meeting at midfield.

1110
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,700
 Falcons in the road, white, blue helmets, blue numbers.

1111
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:08,760
 And the Golden Tigers in those gold jerseys with black numbers, white trim, black pants.

1112
00:58:09,260 --> 00:58:10,160
 Captains meeting each other.

1113
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,100
 And here's the referee down talking to the captains.

1114
00:58:13,180 --> 00:58:14,140
 And let's find out what they say.

1115
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:15,720
 All right, guys.

1116
00:58:15,740 --> 00:58:16,440
 My name is Jason.

1117
00:58:16,540 --> 00:58:17,180
 This is Jermaine.

1118
00:58:17,260 --> 00:58:19,400
 We're going to be working in the center with you guys tonight, okay?

1119
00:58:19,940 --> 00:58:20,780
 You guys are captains.

1120
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:21,660
 Captains for a reason.

1121
00:58:21,660 --> 00:58:23,080
 Help us take care of things, okay?

1122
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:24,540
 Sportsmanship, first class.

1123
00:58:24,620 --> 00:58:26,520
 From the time we leave the huddle until we get finished, okay?

1124
00:58:28,300 --> 00:58:29,060
 Got a head.

1125
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:30,440
 Got a tail.

1126
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:32,140
 Got a head.

1127
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:33,580
 Got a tail.

1128
00:58:33,740 --> 00:58:34,360
 What's your call?

1129
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:34,740
 Tails.

1130
00:58:35,100 --> 00:58:35,820
 What did he say?

1131
00:58:36,260 --> 00:58:37,140
 Call is tails.

1132
00:58:39,500 --> 00:58:40,440
 It is tails.

1133
00:58:41,060 --> 00:58:42,180
 He's won the toss.

1134
00:58:43,100 --> 00:58:43,460
 Deferred.

1135
00:58:43,580 --> 00:58:44,220
 Deferred to the second half.

1136
00:58:44,220 --> 00:58:45,340
 Florence wins the toss.

1137
00:58:45,460 --> 00:58:46,720
 They're going to defer to the second half.

1138
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:47,360
 That's great.

1139
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,460
 You've got to hear Jeffrey Jones' voice down there at midfield.

1140
00:58:49,460 --> 00:58:51,200
 Maybe we can just get him to stand at midfield all day.

1141
00:58:51,260 --> 00:58:52,120
 We can hear him the whole night.

1142
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:52,820
 That would be good.

1143
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,060
 Florence will defer to the second half.

1144
00:58:55,180 --> 00:58:57,080
 Russell will get the ball to start the first half.

1145
00:58:57,540 --> 00:58:58,280
 It's time.

1146
00:58:58,620 --> 00:59:00,900
 Florence and Russell, we're back in 30 seconds.

1147
00:59:02,340 --> 00:59:05,300
 At First Southern Bank, we always cheer for the home team.

1148
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,880

 can provide just the banking services you need.

1153
00:59:24,180 --> 00:59:27,320

 One, two, six, one.

1158
00:59:34,940 --> 00:59:36,460
 Time to play the game.

1159
00:59:40,180 --> 00:59:42,040
 Time to play the game.

1160
00:59:44,860 --> 00:59:46,300
 Standby for kickoff.

1161
00:59:46,620 --> 00:59:47,900
 It's game time.

1162
00:59:54,220 --> 00:59:57,700

 And Warehouse Tackle.

1179
01:00:22,140 --> 01:00:24,880
 Now let's go to the press box for tonight's game.

1180
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:28,280
 Here's the voice of the Florence Falcons, Kevin Johnson.

1181
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:32,600
 Region play.

1182
01:00:33,180 --> 01:00:34,280
 Undefeated teams.

1183
01:00:34,420 --> 01:00:35,440
 Both in 5A.

1184
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:37,260
 Both exceptional teams.

1185
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,620
 And Florence will be kicking off, going right to left.

1186
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,840
 As we begin this one, Taurus Davis will go deep for Russell.

1187
01:00:43,940 --> 01:00:45,140
 He is always dangerous.

1188
01:00:45,260 --> 01:00:46,900
 He scored four touchdowns last week.

1189
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,320
 Darren Jones has exceptional speed.

1190
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,940
 He may be the fastest man on the field tonight.

1191
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:57,180
 So Greenhall, if at all chances can put this one away, it will help a whole bunch for sure.

1192
01:00:58,300 --> 01:01:00,520
 This one has been talked about a whole lot.

1193
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,680
 Russell feels like they can pull one off tonight if they can win this one.

1194
01:01:04,980 --> 01:01:06,720
 It shakes this region up big time.

1195
01:01:06,900 --> 01:01:09,340
 If Florence can win it, hold your hat.

1196
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:10,640
 So we'll see what the Falcons can do.

1197
01:01:11,180 --> 01:01:12,580
 Greenhall approaches the ball.

1198
01:01:12,580 --> 01:01:31,000
 We're listening to Florence Falcon football.

1199
01:01:31,180 --> 01:01:32,420
 This is Paul's for station identification.

1200
01:01:32,420 --> 01:01:35,360
 The voice of the Florence High School Falcons.

1201
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,500
 W-Y-T-K-F-M.

1202
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:38,520
 Rogersville.

1203
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:39,020
 Athens.

1204
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:39,600
 Decatur.

1205
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:40,560
 The Shoals.

1206
01:01:40,860 --> 01:01:41,940
 93-9.

1207
01:01:42,300 --> 01:01:43,080
 The score.

1208
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:52,280
 First and 10 for the Golden Tigers from the 28 going left to right towards the scoreboard

1209
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,280
 if you're familiar here at Golden Tigers Stadium.

1210
01:01:54,980 --> 01:01:56,840
 Cleveland will go under center in this wing tee.

1211
01:01:56,980 --> 01:01:59,320
 Davis will be the lone back in the backfield.

1212
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:00,560
 And I'll bring a man in motion.

1213
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,160
 Going good to the belly right in the middle.

1214
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:03,000
 And Davis got run rim.

1215
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,120
 30-35 to the 38 down to the 40.

1216
01:02:06,620 --> 01:02:08,220
 Power play right there a little bit.

1217
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,740
 And just ran right off the right side.

1218
01:02:09,820 --> 01:02:10,640
 And a gain of 12.

1219
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:12,800
 And you see, Mike, there are going to be a handful right now.

1220
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:13,680
 They certainly are.

1221
01:02:13,780 --> 01:02:15,060
 And he burst right through the hole.

1222
01:02:15,140 --> 01:02:16,620
 And he got into the secondary.

1223
01:02:17,140 --> 01:02:20,980
 And once you get to that second level, you know that that was a successful run.

1224
01:02:21,060 --> 01:02:22,300
 And it was first down for the Tigers.

1225
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:24,200
 That's a trendsetter right there.

1226
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:26,480
 Cleveland will have a wing to his left.

1227
01:02:26,580 --> 01:02:27,280
 Wide receiver right.

1228
01:02:27,380 --> 01:02:28,780
 Two backs in the backfield this time.

1229
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:30,480
 Now they're going to shift around.

1230
01:02:31,860 --> 01:02:33,700
 Going to look to run the power to the left again.

1231
01:02:33,780 --> 01:02:34,340
 Trying to get outside.

1232
01:02:34,460 --> 01:02:35,960
 Cuts up not much run room that time.

1233
01:02:36,020 --> 01:02:38,880
 The Falcons were there and stoned him for no gain, really.

1234
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:40,700
 They might give him one at the 40, too.

1235
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:45,040
 He was hit by a host of Falcons, including Nate Pride, who cleaned him up.

1236
01:02:45,260 --> 01:02:46,340
 Nate Pride came in there.

1237
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:47,620
 And he delivered a blow.

1238
01:02:47,740 --> 01:02:49,460
 And he was really excited about that one.

1239
01:02:49,500 --> 01:02:52,240
 But the Falcons held serve on that play quite well.

1240
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,960
 Weston Whitaker was the tailback on the run right there.

1241
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:56,000
 Jones will check in.

1242
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:56,660
 No score.

1243
01:02:56,780 --> 01:02:58,600
 11-02 and counting here in the first quarter.

1244
01:02:59,180 --> 01:03:01,360
 Russell will have second down and nine from the 42.

1245
01:03:01,620 --> 01:03:02,800
 They can throw the ball well.

1246
01:03:03,340 --> 01:03:04,700
 Jones wide to the left.

1247
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:06,240
 Wingback right.

1248
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:07,120
 Tied in right.

1249
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:08,660
 Two backs in the backfield again.

1250
01:03:09,060 --> 01:03:11,260
 Now they're bringing the tight end to the motion to the left.

1251
01:03:11,820 --> 01:03:12,360
 Play action.

1252
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:12,920
 He wants to throw.

1253
01:03:13,060 --> 01:03:13,980
 Cleveland rolls to the left.

1254
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:14,500
 Pressure coming.

1255
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:15,120
 Gets rid of it.

1256
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:16,580
 Wide open in the flats and dropped it.

1257
01:03:17,100 --> 01:03:18,580
 Started to run with it too soon.

1258
01:03:18,940 --> 01:03:20,280
 A man from Florence was coming up.

1259
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,060
 It would have been a tough gain of two or three.

1260
01:03:22,420 --> 01:03:23,680
 But it worked out on the play.

1261
01:03:24,100 --> 01:03:25,020
 Flag has been thrown.

1262
01:03:25,140 --> 01:03:26,180
 Let's see what that's for.

1263
01:03:26,820 --> 01:03:28,580
 I'm not sure if it's in the secondary or where it's been thrown.

1264
01:03:28,580 --> 01:03:29,800
 It was in the area of holding.

1265
01:03:30,660 --> 01:03:32,660
 So we'll hold and see what this is.

1266
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:37,340
 And already the official with the ball in his hand is facing towards Russell.

1267
01:03:37,460 --> 01:03:38,560
 We're ready to walk it off.

1268
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:39,780
 But decision time.

1269
01:03:39,860 --> 01:03:43,140
 Do you want third and nine or do you want second down and 21?

1270
01:03:43,740 --> 01:03:45,840
 That's what Kenny Morrison is thinking about.

1271
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:46,920
 He's going to say decline it.

1272
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,100
 He's going to trust his defense to get one stop on third and nine.

1273
01:03:50,540 --> 01:03:51,780
 That's a tough call right there, Mike.

1274
01:03:52,060 --> 01:03:53,920
 That certainly is a tough call.

1275
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:58,120
 You know, right at this point, you really have them third and long.

1276
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:04,000
 They do have playmaking ability where they can bust one to wind up getting a first down.

1277
01:04:04,140 --> 01:04:07,180
 So taking a third down chance is pretty solid here.

1278
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:08,600
 Carter Clement wide to the right.

1279
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:09,400
 Under center again.

1280
01:04:09,500 --> 01:04:10,240
 Cleveland is wing two.

1281
01:04:10,340 --> 01:04:11,960
 They shift out of it to the right.

1282
01:04:12,700 --> 01:04:13,180
 Going to look.

1283
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:14,620
 Going to play action to the left.

1284
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,020
 Once the throw wide open down the middle.

1285
01:04:16,180 --> 01:04:17,200
 He's got Clement open.

1286
01:04:17,300 --> 01:04:20,580
 Catch it at 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, and touchdown.

1287
01:04:22,060 --> 01:04:24,720
 On third and nine, they bring in a wide receiver.

1288
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,460
 He just ran it right down the field.

1289
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:28,980
 And he was wide open by 10 yards.

1290
01:04:29,100 --> 01:04:30,840
 And nobody would have picked up this guy.

1291
01:04:30,980 --> 01:04:32,460
 One receiver out, really.

1292
01:04:32,820 --> 01:04:34,160
 I didn't even see another receiver going.

1293
01:04:34,540 --> 01:04:35,100
 And then he too.

1294
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:36,800
 And it was an easy throw right there, Mike.

1295
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:38,920
 That was the one look that they had.

1296
01:04:38,980 --> 01:04:40,040
 That was what they were going for.

1297
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,280
 And, you know, they found it right away.

1298
01:04:42,980 --> 01:04:45,160
 Safeties got caught with all that eye candy.

1299
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,080
 Safeties got caught looking inside and got blown up.

1300
01:04:48,700 --> 01:04:51,640
 And just a beautiful execution there by Russell.

1301
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,580
 PA temp, T attempt coming.

1302
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:55,700
 High snap gets it up.

1303
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:56,700
 Did he sneak it in?

1304
01:04:56,740 --> 01:04:57,800
 He just sneaks it in.

1305
01:04:58,060 --> 01:04:58,540
 New score.

1306
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,280
 Russell leads Florence, 7-0.

1307
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:01,340
 10-33 to go.

1308
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,060
 Falcon football back in 30.

1309
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:05,080
 Hey, guys.

1310
01:05:05,140 --> 01:05:07,160
 This is Mark down at Warehouse Tackle.

1311
01:05:07,420 --> 01:05:12,380
 So we offer the best fishing tackle and outdoor supplies in the Shoals area.

1312
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,420
 We're located on 417 East College Street.

1313
01:05:15,580 --> 01:05:20,000
 Our phone number is 256-980-0951.

1314
01:05:20,220 --> 01:05:25,660
 And you can find us on the web at www.warehouse-tackle.com.

1315
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:26,680
 Come and see us.

1316
01:05:26,980 --> 01:05:29,500
 We're proud to be a sponsor of Florence Falcons football.

1317
01:05:29,860 --> 01:05:34,160
 And we wish Coach Morrison and the team good luck to you in your season.

1318
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,100
 Back here at Florence Falcons football.

1319
01:05:40,100 --> 01:05:42,240
 And it didn't take the Golden Tigers long.

1320
01:05:42,820 --> 01:05:43,980
 10-33 on the clock.

1321
01:05:44,060 --> 01:05:46,220
 And they take it down and score 7-0.

1322
01:05:46,340 --> 01:05:47,700
 That last drive from John McDaniel.

1323
01:05:47,860 --> 01:05:52,380
 Three plays, 73 yards and a minute 22 off the clock.

1324
01:05:52,820 --> 01:05:54,380
 As you said, big explosive play.

1325
01:05:55,980 --> 01:05:58,340
 Cleveland, Clement, excuse me.

1326
01:05:59,020 --> 01:06:00,020
 Clement just came in.

1327
01:06:00,460 --> 01:06:01,340
 You can tell he had some speed.

1328
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:02,440
 Carter Clement, the junior.

1329
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:04,880
 And he was wide open as wide receiver.

1330
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:05,960
 And nobody picked him up.

1331
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:07,800
 And 7-0.

1332
01:06:07,980 --> 01:06:11,840
 And now you've got to be alert because the Falcons line up at the 46.

1333
01:06:12,100 --> 01:06:13,240
 So they're about 14 yards away.

1334
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:13,880
 I don't like that.

1335
01:06:13,980 --> 01:06:17,180
 Because I've got a feeling you might see an onside kick from this Russell team

1336
01:06:17,180 --> 01:06:18,000
 before the night's over.

1337
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,020
 They're going to try to win a possession here or there, I think.

1338
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:22,480
 Getting ready to boot it away.

1339
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:24,960
 Short kick.

1340
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,380
 Going to be taken about at the 30 to the 33.

1341
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:28,000
 It's Elliott.

1342
01:06:28,140 --> 01:06:29,260
 And he'll go down around the 34.

1343
01:06:29,820 --> 01:06:31,400
 So they kick it short.

1344
01:06:31,980 --> 01:06:32,960
 Turn it to the 34.

1345
01:06:33,620 --> 01:06:35,000
 And that's where Florence will have it first.

1346
01:06:35,140 --> 01:06:37,880
 And T and Traylon 7-0 after the touchdown by Clement.

1347
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:39,800
 And the extra point by Mojica.

1348
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:41,540
 Garcia, I think, is how he goes by.

1349
01:06:43,140 --> 01:06:44,840
 That's 7-0, 10-28 to go.

1350
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,240
 And the Falcons offense for the first time will come onto the field

1351
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:48,820
 and try to answer here.

1352
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:52,520
 Mahan will be the quarterback.

1353
01:06:52,700 --> 01:06:58,080
 Costin Mahan, who have goals become wide left along with Kevontae Green.

1354
01:06:59,740 --> 01:07:03,340
 Two backs in the backfield, including Williams and Johnson.

1355
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:06,280
 Play clock at 21.

1356
01:07:06,580 --> 01:07:08,580
 Now they shift to an eye set under center.

1357
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:09,380
 Don't see this often.

1358
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:11,460
 They're going to look to hand it off off the right side.

1359
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:12,560
 They're going to lock out a running room.

1360
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:13,320
 Nope, not much.

1361
01:07:13,740 --> 01:07:15,960
 Get at the 35 and gain of one.

1362
01:07:16,060 --> 01:07:16,960
 Flag on the play.

1363
01:07:17,420 --> 01:07:18,740
 Let's see what the flag is for.

1364
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,300
 Try to sneak one there on the inside give.

1365
01:07:22,820 --> 01:07:24,160
 But it wasn't there for Johnson.

1366
01:07:24,780 --> 01:07:25,780
 And bring a second down.

1367
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,060
 And we'll call it 10, depending on the penalty call here.

1368
01:07:30,660 --> 01:07:32,440
 And I think it's going against the Golden Tigers.

1369
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:33,440
 And they're going to march it off.

1370
01:07:33,500 --> 01:07:34,380
 And it may be a big one.

1371
01:07:34,420 --> 01:07:34,800
 Let's see.

1372
01:07:35,540 --> 01:07:37,240
 5, 10, might have been even 15.

1373
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,780
 So maybe a chop block on the defense there.

1374
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:44,840
 And a 15-yarder marches out to the 50-yard line there.

1375
01:07:44,900 --> 01:07:46,320
 That's a big penalty right there, Mike.

1376
01:07:46,540 --> 01:07:49,380
 Yeah, especially, you know, on the very first play there.

1377
01:07:49,660 --> 01:07:52,140
 You know, giving the other team 15 yards is not advisable.

1378
01:07:52,140 --> 01:07:54,380
 But Falcons around midfield already.

1379
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:56,080
 So at midfield.

1380
01:07:58,260 --> 01:07:59,340
 Facing second down.

1381
01:07:59,820 --> 01:08:00,700
 Our first down and 10.

1382
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:01,540
 Just at midfield.

1383
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:02,760
 Trailing 7-0.

1384
01:08:03,140 --> 01:08:04,420
 With 10-04 to go and counting.

1385
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,980
 Mayan still has two backs in the backfield, including Johnson to his right.

1386
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:08,860
 Williams to his left.

1387
01:08:10,500 --> 01:08:11,500
 This time looks to pass.

1388
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:12,000
 Quick out.

1389
01:08:12,100 --> 01:08:12,720
 Got it to Green.

1390
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:14,100
 Green down the right side line.

1391
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:14,800
 Breaks up tackle.

1392
01:08:14,900 --> 01:08:15,460
 Stays on his feet.

1393
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:16,620
 Flipped upside down.

1394
01:08:16,660 --> 01:08:18,240
 But he gets about eight or nine right there.

1395
01:08:18,420 --> 01:08:19,360
 And jumps back up.

1396
01:08:19,420 --> 01:08:20,840
 That's a gain all the way down to the 43.

1397
01:08:21,620 --> 01:08:24,660
 That's good early on to get Green involved in this offense.

1398
01:08:24,980 --> 01:08:28,140
 And get Mayan a nice pitch and catch early on to settle into this game.

1399
01:08:28,580 --> 01:08:32,560
 John, I feel like that might be a place where Florence could expose Russell a little bit on the edge.

1400
01:08:32,660 --> 01:08:34,680
 Dave, he is certainly a matchup problem.

1401
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:39,080
 His size, catch radius is just his physicality at the position.

1402
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:40,100
 It's hard for them.

1403
01:08:40,380 --> 01:08:41,460
 It's hard for anybody to match.

1404
01:08:41,580 --> 01:08:42,640
 It's hard for these guys to match.

1405
01:08:45,100 --> 01:08:46,640
 Kirkland blanket, tight end left.

1406
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:47,360
 Quick snap.

1407
01:08:47,500 --> 01:08:48,580
 Going to leave Williams off the right.

1408
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:49,500
 Got a hold to the 40.

1409
01:08:49,580 --> 01:08:50,020
 Hit hard.

1410
01:08:50,300 --> 01:08:50,980
 Stays on his feet.

1411
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:52,480
 Trying to bounce away from another, but can't.

1412
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,820
 He'll get maybe two yards and enough to get the first down and move the chains.

1413
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,400
 He got stuck for the first time and bounced like a pinball trying to run out of it.

1414
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:01,600
 But it'll be enough to be a Falcon first down.

1415
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:06,960
 Yeah, Williams very rarely gets hit pretty hard there.

1416
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,160
 He definitely took a hit, but kept his feet moving.

1417
01:09:09,300 --> 01:09:13,720
 Kept his momentum going forward enough to get him a first down.

1418
01:09:13,780 --> 01:09:15,840
 Braxton Duncan's the one that came up and stuck him.

1419
01:09:17,140 --> 01:09:19,020
 9-25 and counting here in the first.

1420
01:09:19,460 --> 01:09:21,780
 Trayland 7-0, but Florence in Russell territory.

1421
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,300
 Blank will move to the right side.

1422
01:09:23,820 --> 01:09:25,460
 One back, three wide receivers to the right.

1423
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,420
 Mahan going to leave with the back again, trying to bounce outside.

1424
01:09:28,500 --> 01:09:30,800
 He's paid, and that's Johnson off the 4-5 to the 30.

1425
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:32,320
 Inside the 30 to the 25.

1426
01:09:32,480 --> 01:09:34,800
 Flag on the play right in front of the Russell bench.

1427
01:09:34,860 --> 01:09:37,040
 That should have been a second flag, I felt like,

1428
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,700
 because they threw Johnson down about four yards out of bounds.

1429
01:09:39,700 --> 01:09:41,000
 But they're going to get the holding call.

1430
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,920
 And any time you run to the home side, it's not going to be a good thing sometimes.

1431
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:52,640
 Well, it would take somebody seriously having some vision impairment not to see that one on any side of the field.

1432
01:09:52,740 --> 01:09:55,420
 That was an egregious hold there on the Falcons.

1433
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,340
 And anybody could have called that.

1434
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:03,480
 I mean, you heard both sides, both sides of the stadium calling that one before the flag came out.

1435
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,080
 9-0-9 to go in the first.

1436
01:10:05,260 --> 01:10:06,380
 Florence trails at 7-0.

1437
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:11,700
 Golden Tigers scored on their first possession on a long pass play from Cleveland to Clement.

1438
01:10:12,180 --> 01:10:13,740
 Now Florence moves back to the 50.

1439
01:10:13,860 --> 01:10:17,080
 They'll face first and 20 now at the 50-yard line.

1440
01:10:17,620 --> 01:10:18,720
 Three wideouts for Mahan.

1441
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:22,680
 And flag before that, and then another penalty against Florence, moving a little early.

1442
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:25,860
 And you can hear this Russell crowd's loud and into it.

1443
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,420
 It's a big crowd from Florence across the way as well.

1444
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:30,920
 But early jitters early on.

1445
01:10:31,060 --> 01:10:34,900
 And Mike, just to be honest about it, it's been a while since the Falcons have been down 7-0.

1446
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:36,040
 Yeah.

1447
01:10:36,500 --> 01:10:40,020
 The last time they were, though, they did score right away.

1448
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:43,380
 And it was only for a matter of a couple minutes.

1449
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,920
 And the Falcons took that game away when it was against Jasper.

1450
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,760
 They weren't down 7, but they were just down 1.

1451
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,720
 But, you know, the Falcons have a chance to respond here.

1452
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:53,920
 Gooseby wide left.

1453
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:57,400
 Elliott and Green wide right on the first and fifth 25 play.

1454
01:10:58,480 --> 01:11:00,600
 Going to leave it with Williams off the left side looking.

1455
01:11:00,740 --> 01:11:02,160
 Not a whole lot of running room right now.

1456
01:11:02,540 --> 01:11:05,420
 The Golden Tigers up front are winning that battle.

1457
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:06,840
 It's actually Johnson on the carry.

1458
01:11:07,500 --> 01:11:08,500
 No game.

1459
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:12,260
 A little surprise right now how much Russell is winning that line of scrimmage.

1460
01:11:12,440 --> 01:11:13,660
 And let's be honest about it.

1461
01:11:13,900 --> 01:11:17,200
 Florence has come out a little flat, and Russell's come out really on fire.

1462
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:18,540
 We talked about it in pregame.

1463
01:11:18,540 --> 01:11:23,620
 And the opportunity for the letdown or trap game is absolutely there.

1464
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,960
 And all symptoms are heading in that direction.

1465
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,600
 The Falcons better wake up because this team is ready to play.

1466
01:11:29,700 --> 01:11:31,580
 Justin Kirkman in wide receiver left.

1467
01:11:31,700 --> 01:11:32,700
 And the slot is Gooseby.

1468
01:11:34,100 --> 01:11:35,680
 Shotgun formation going to run to the right.

1469
01:11:35,780 --> 01:11:38,120
 Johnson cuts back across the middle, but not much running room there.

1470
01:11:38,580 --> 01:11:39,720
 The only game is two or three.

1471
01:11:40,260 --> 01:11:49,220
 And it brings up third down, and most of Franklin County to go with 8.19 to go here in the first quarter.

1472
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:50,920
 So the penalty hurts.

1473
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,640
 Florence moves them back after they got into the territory of the Golden Tigers.

1474
01:11:54,740 --> 01:11:57,960
 And now on a passing down, they'll go four wide outs.

1475
01:11:58,820 --> 01:12:00,820
 Elliott will come into the game along with Gooseby.

1476
01:12:01,500 --> 01:12:04,320
 And Kirkman will go wide to the right, I believe.

1477
01:12:06,440 --> 01:12:08,220
 Three wide outs to the right.

1478
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,140
 One back in the backfield continues to be Williams.

1479
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:12,220
 Play clock at 8.

1480
01:12:13,460 --> 01:12:14,380
 Four-man front.

1481
01:12:15,260 --> 01:12:16,320
 Now Williams will go in motion.

1482
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:18,720
 And they're going to run the quarterback draw off the right side.

1483
01:12:18,820 --> 01:12:19,860
 And, man, get what he can.

1484
01:12:19,900 --> 01:12:21,360
 He gets stuck pretty hard at the 50.

1485
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:23,220
 Pushes far, though, to the 47.

1486
01:12:23,220 --> 01:12:28,760
 And, Mike, one of the things I see early on that I did not really see as much on film

1487
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:31,320
 is how hard this Russell team comes up and sticks you.

1488
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:32,720
 It is a hard-hitting team.

1489
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,940
 You know, look, there's no secrets out there.

1490
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:38,620
 Coach Higgins knows how to coach football.

1491
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:42,480
 And these boys are absolutely ready to play, and they're answering the call right now.

1492
01:12:43,480 --> 01:12:44,900
 Back deep will be Davis.

1493
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:47,680
 His coaches are telling me, don't field it.

1494
01:12:47,740 --> 01:12:49,280
 So I saw some coaches say, don't do it.

1495
01:12:49,300 --> 01:12:50,540
 Maybe they're saying play safe.

1496
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:52,800
 Greenhall to boot it away.

1497
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:53,860
 Good snout.

1498
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:55,220
 Greenhall takes his time.

1499
01:12:55,660 --> 01:12:57,100
 Gets a high-hanging kick.

1500
01:12:57,480 --> 01:13:02,260
 Going to be fair, caught, and taken at the 16-yard line to make it the 17-yard line by Davis.

1501
01:13:02,420 --> 01:13:04,760
 And the Tigers lead at 7-0 and have the football.

1502
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:10,140
 And this Falcon defense better get ready because they're going to see every trick that's in the book

1503
01:13:10,140 --> 01:13:11,460
 for Daryl Higgins and his staff.

1504
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:12,860
 They certainly are.

1505
01:13:13,140 --> 01:13:17,640
 And, you know, they've already seen one and got burned pretty badly.

1506
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:22,860
 So, you know, being able to learn from that experience and really keep to your assignment

1507
01:13:22,860 --> 01:13:23,560
 is going to be important.

1508
01:13:23,980 --> 01:13:27,800
 Don't forget, tomorrow, Alabama Crimson Tide football on the road in Lexington, Kentucky.

1509
01:13:28,260 --> 01:13:30,160
 You'll hear that game right here on 93-9.

1510
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:33,480
 The score tomorrow afternoon should be a great matchup.

1511
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,500
 First and 10 for the Golden Tigers.

1512
01:13:38,900 --> 01:13:40,120
 One wide receiver right.

1513
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:41,420
 Two backs in the backfield.

1514
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:42,800
 Under center is the quarterback, Cleveland.

1515
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:46,680
 Cleveland going to look to throw.

1516
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:47,900
 Wants to throw the outpatter.

1517
01:13:47,980 --> 01:13:49,520
 Now he's in trouble having to look to roll.

1518
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:52,700
 He just flips it over the head of the one intended receiver.

1519
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:53,520
 Incomplete.

1520
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:55,360
 That's a better job by the Falcons right there.

1521
01:13:55,820 --> 01:13:56,700
 Nowhere to go with it.

1522
01:13:56,860 --> 01:13:58,220
 Hallmark was his intended receiver.

1523
01:13:58,940 --> 01:14:03,620
 Yes, and, you know, we saw they went right back to a similar play there.

1524
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:07,540
 It wasn't the same formation, but there was a streak right down the middle, right in that side,

1525
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,120
 and then the safeties caught it right away.

1526
01:14:10,260 --> 01:14:12,000
 Kevin, it's the same combination of routes.

1527
01:14:12,140 --> 01:14:14,860
 It's a flag, a drag, and a post.

1528
01:14:15,020 --> 01:14:18,060
 They'll switch up who's running which, but it's always the same three,

1529
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,740
 and they do a great job of keeping guessing which ones are going to do what.

1530
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:24,700
 Second down and 10 to go.

1531
01:14:24,820 --> 01:14:26,240
 Under center again, Cleveland, the quarterback.

1532
01:14:26,420 --> 01:14:27,960
 Brings the man in motion to his left.

1533
01:14:28,300 --> 01:14:29,740
 Give it right up the middle, and the belly play.

1534
01:14:30,060 --> 01:14:31,100
 Hit at the gain of a 30.

1535
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,880
 He breaks the tackle and stays on his feet and got to the 25, excuse me.

1536
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:35,240
 Gain of about seven or eight.

1537
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:36,820
 And Davis is a handful.

1538
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,960
 Now, I didn't know how strong he was, but we've hit him a couple of times,

1539
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:40,780
 and he breaks tackles.

1540
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:42,340
 Even the opening kickoff, he did that.

1541
01:14:42,660 --> 01:14:45,080
 That's maybe what his strength is, is breaking tackles.

1542
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:50,540
 Yeah, and early on, and we saw it early on in the Muscle Shoals game as well.

1543
01:14:50,540 --> 01:14:53,460
 It takes the Falcons a minute before they start sticking people.

1544
01:14:53,620 --> 01:14:57,360
 I don't know if that's a preparedness thing or getting in game flow,

1545
01:14:57,460 --> 01:14:59,380
 but we missed a bunch of tackles last week as well.

1546
01:14:59,920 --> 01:15:02,260
 Russell will bring into the game Samuel Wilson, the senior.

1547
01:15:02,660 --> 01:15:03,880
 He is huge there coming in.

1548
01:15:04,140 --> 01:15:05,340
 They've got some beef in there.

1549
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:07,120
 Nine on the play clock.

1550
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,360
 They're still making substitutions here and still in the huddle.

1551
01:15:09,440 --> 01:15:12,580
 They may have to call a timeout, the Golden Tigers, on this third one down play,

1552
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:13,680
 and they will call a timeout.

1553
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:18,800
 With 6.17 to go here in the first quarter, Russell leads at 7-0.

1554
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,740
 No Falcon football is back in 30 seconds.

1555
01:15:23,020 --> 01:15:24,760
 It's football time in Alabama.

1556
01:15:25,260 --> 01:15:27,400
 Our students are learning big American lessons.

1557
01:15:28,180 --> 01:15:30,200
 You can start with your God-given talents,

1558
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:32,480
 and through practice, hard work, and sacrifice,

1559
01:15:32,860 --> 01:15:34,800
 you have the ability to become champions.

1560
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:37,160
 This is Congressman Robert Adderholt.

1561
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:41,460
 May God bless all of our students representing our high schools during this season,

1562
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:44,140
 and may God bless the United States of America.

1563
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:47,040
 I'm Robert Adderholt, and I approve this message.

1564
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,900
 Paid for by Adderholt for Congress.

1565
01:15:56,240 --> 01:16:00,520
 Back at Golden Tigers Stadium with the big Tiger emblem at the middle of the field.

1566
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:07,400
 Black end zone with Russellville spelled out in gold letters on both ends.

1567
01:16:09,140 --> 01:16:13,420
 And right now, the Golden Tigers lead at 7-0 and face 31 at their own 26.

1568
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,780
 They are so early on, they are a handful.

1569
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,660
 And they've got a big offensive line, too, at times.

1570
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:20,280
 They can come in there.

1571
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:21,760
 They've got some height, some size.

1572
01:16:22,260 --> 01:16:24,760
 So quickly to the line of scrimmage under center is Cleveland.

1573
01:16:24,900 --> 01:16:27,800
 One by Castile Davis on this third and one play.

1574
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:31,980
 They're going to run the power off the edge, and he slipped down and fell.

1575
01:16:32,060 --> 01:16:32,820
 I don't think he got it.

1576
01:16:33,140 --> 01:16:33,900
 He's going to be short.

1577
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:36,820
 He slipped down right at the 25, and thank goodness he did.

1578
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:38,120
 He might have had a hole there, Mike.

1579
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:42,200
 Yeah, he went to cut, and you saw his leg fall out from under him,

1580
01:16:42,260 --> 01:16:46,880
 and it was just lucky or glad to see him come up because it did not look good from here.

1581
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,340
 Darrell Higgins does not waste any time.

1582
01:16:49,420 --> 01:16:52,700
 He puts his punt team out there on this fourth and one play.

1583
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:55,440
 Now, the quarterback, Cleveland, is the punter.

1584
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:57,140
 Back deep is Gillsby.

1585
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:57,960
 He'll stand at the 40.

1586
01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:03,580
 But you don't need to jump off sides, and you need to just hold your water, as they say,

1587
01:17:03,660 --> 01:17:04,320
 and watch everything.

1588
01:17:05,060 --> 01:17:08,060
 Florence has nine on the line of scrimmage on this fourth and one play.

1589
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,080
 Snap back to Cleveland, and he will punt it away.

1590
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:14,140
 Gillsby's going to let it hit.

1591
01:17:14,220 --> 01:17:15,000
 Not a great punt.

1592
01:17:16,260 --> 01:17:16,640
 Not great.

1593
01:17:16,700 --> 01:17:20,120
 It takes a Golden Tiger roll, though, and it really took a Golden Tiger roll.

1594
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:21,900
 That thing has wheels on it.

1595
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:23,440
 It went about another 15 yards.

1596
01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:27,040
 It hit at the 50 and rolled all the way down to the 32-yard line.

1597
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:29,240
 So a big break for Russell there.

1598
01:17:29,440 --> 01:17:30,500
 Gillsby did the right thing.

1599
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,160
 He couldn't get to it, and it was too short of a punt.

1600
01:17:33,220 --> 01:17:34,820
 But the roll just favored the Golden Tigers.

1601
01:17:35,260 --> 01:17:38,420
 It took one of those nasty rolls.

1602
01:17:38,540 --> 01:17:41,440
 It had that forward momentum once it hit and just kept rolling.

1603
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,620
 And so it was an unfortunate bounce there for the Falcons,

1604
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:48,820
 but they have possession with 5-23 in the first.

1605
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:50,540
 5-23 in the first.

1606
01:17:50,540 --> 01:17:51,280
 7-0.

1607
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:55,340
 Florence trails Russell, but they'll have the ball.

1608
01:17:56,480 --> 01:17:58,760
 Mahan will be the quarterback with one back in the backfield.

1609
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,080
 Going to leave it right up the right side and looking for a little run rate.

1610
01:18:02,140 --> 01:18:05,200
 I mean, this time spins out of one and gets a little more run rate to the 39.

1611
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:07,500
 That's Johnson.

1612
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:10,680
 DeCarson Johnson spins and gets about six or seven.

1613
01:18:10,780 --> 01:18:14,280
 Better looking offense off the right side than we've seen in that first drive right there, Mike.

1614
01:18:14,580 --> 01:18:21,160
 Well, absolutely, you know, and DeCarson Johnson made a nice cut in there to pick up some extra yardage and made a man miss.

1615
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:26,440
 So being able to have a second and shorter than we've had is definitely important.

1616
01:18:26,660 --> 01:18:27,520
 Kirkman wide right.

1617
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:28,520
 Gooseby wide left.

1618
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:30,260
 Two tighty and set.

1619
01:18:30,900 --> 01:18:32,520
 Blank can come back to the left side.

1620
01:18:33,580 --> 01:18:35,420
 Again, it's going to be Johnson right off the left.

1621
01:18:35,500 --> 01:18:36,180
 Got to follow his block.

1622
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:37,800
 It's got outside to the 40, to the 45.

1623
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:38,980
 It's got great speed to the 50.

1624
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:41,240
 Down the sideline, 40 to the 35, to the 30.

1625
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:43,260
 And pushed out of bounds on the 20-yard line.

1626
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:49,360
 The first big play of the day, DeCarson Johnson comes sprinting down the left sideline, and the Falcons are knocking on the door.

1627
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:51,340
 That was a great run there by the Falcons.

1628
01:18:51,340 --> 01:18:54,960
 Great job to get around the edge, and then it was just a foot race.

1629
01:18:55,200 --> 01:19:00,200
 And while he didn't find the pylons, he found a lot of green space and made it down to the 20.

1630
01:19:00,540 --> 01:19:07,080
 Kevin, I think that was the number 65 rounds was his lead blocker on that play and really blew up in a hole.

1631
01:19:07,180 --> 01:19:09,160
 He pulled and kicked out the defensive end.

1632
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:10,020
 Terrific job.

1633
01:19:10,100 --> 01:19:13,100
 He was making his rounds as he led Johnson down the field to the 20.

1634
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,680
 And now Kayon Williams in the tailback, and the Falcons move.

1635
01:19:16,460 --> 01:19:19,120
 A little much hearing too much stuff going on.

1636
01:19:19,180 --> 01:19:20,600
 He moved, and that's a five-yard penalty.

1637
01:19:21,260 --> 01:19:22,280
 Pretty obvious there.

1638
01:19:22,940 --> 01:19:24,000
 So you had first and 10.

1639
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:25,060
 Now you have first and 15.

1640
01:19:25,060 --> 01:19:28,160
 And, oh, Mike, the first drive stopped because of penalties.

1641
01:19:28,340 --> 01:19:29,860
 This drive again, another penalty.

1642
01:19:29,980 --> 01:19:31,900
 Something we haven't seen as much in this offense.

1643
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:34,880
 The penalty bug has hit this Falcon offense.

1644
01:19:35,060 --> 01:19:38,060
 The first two games, they had double digits in flags.

1645
01:19:38,860 --> 01:19:40,300
 They improved it a little bit last week.

1646
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:44,540
 But some of that discipline and giving extra yardage is not helpful.

1647
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:49,080
 Three or two wide outs, two tight ends set on the first and 15.

1648
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,800
 Williams off the right side trying to use his speed but can't get away.

1649
01:19:52,900 --> 01:19:54,760
 No, he stayed on his feet and pushed far to the 19.

1650
01:19:55,880 --> 01:20:02,060
 They had him dead to right at the 24, and he just has incredible balance there.

1651
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,340
 He had incredible balance, and he put his hands in the turf to keep himself up

1652
01:20:06,340 --> 01:20:08,020
 and kept churning those legs.

1653
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:12,080
 Found himself some balance again and wound up getting hit after a six-yard gain.

1654
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:14,320
 Four-fifteen and counting here in the first quarter.

1655
01:20:14,440 --> 01:20:16,520
 Florence trails at 7-0, knocking on the door.

1656
01:20:16,660 --> 01:20:19,320
 Second down and nine at the 19-yard line.

1657
01:20:19,460 --> 01:20:20,620
 Williams will stay in at tailback.

1658
01:20:20,860 --> 01:20:22,060
 Seventeen on the play clock.

1659
01:20:22,480 --> 01:20:24,420
 Ball on the right hash going to our left.

1660
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,380
 Williams to the left of the quarterback, Mayhem, against a four-man front.

1661
01:20:27,660 --> 01:20:28,140
 Play action.

1662
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:28,840
 Wants to pass.

1663
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,440
 To the sideline and caught at the 15.

1664
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:33,180
 Nice throw and catch right there.

1665
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:34,900
 I believe that was Kirkman that brought it in.

1666
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:36,820
 So there is Kirkman, the sophomore.

1667
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:38,720
 I think you're going to see him a whole lot more.

1668
01:20:38,780 --> 01:20:40,020
 His hands are incredible.

1669
01:20:40,140 --> 01:20:42,040
 He's going to be a weapon for Florence.

1670
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:43,700
 He's as quick as lightning.

1671
01:20:44,020 --> 01:20:45,140
 The kid is super fast.

1672
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:46,320
 He's got really good hands.

1673
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:50,340
 He's one of those, you know, the future looks bright kind of wide receivers

1674
01:20:50,340 --> 01:20:51,340
 that we've got coming up.

1675
01:20:51,700 --> 01:20:52,420
 Third and five.

1676
01:20:52,540 --> 01:20:55,700
 The Falcons have to touch the 10, and here comes the Golden Tiger crowd

1677
01:20:55,700 --> 01:20:57,500
 on his third down play.

1678
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:00,080
 330 and counting here in the first quarter.

1679
01:21:00,220 --> 01:21:01,280
 Florence trails at by seven.

1680
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:03,700
 Mayhem gets the snap.

1681
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:05,420
 Going to look to throw again.

1682
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:06,640
 Out pattern complete again.

1683
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,320
 That's enough for a first down right at the nine-yard line.

1684
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:11,200
 Not sure if again, is that green?

1685
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:11,920
 I believe it is.

1686
01:21:12,900 --> 01:21:13,620
 No, that's Jack.

1687
01:21:13,700 --> 01:21:14,320
 Check that.

1688
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:15,260
 That wasn't green.

1689
01:21:15,420 --> 01:21:15,660
 Seven.

1690
01:21:15,860 --> 01:21:18,340
 Yeah, that was going to be Jackson Mays who come in,

1691
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:20,480
 and a tremendous catch there by the senior.

1692
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:23,160
 Tremendous hands, and that's enough for a Falcon first down.

1693
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:25,160
 The pass was delivered a little bit behind him,

1694
01:21:25,180 --> 01:21:27,620
 and as he was cutting back, he just showed great concentration

1695
01:21:27,620 --> 01:21:30,620
 in being able to secure that one right at the sticks for a first down.

1696
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,200
 First and goal at the nine for the Falcons.

1697
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:36,940
 One back in the backfield is Johnson.

1698
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:37,980
 Now, check that.

1699
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,900
 Williams right at the middle pushes forward to about the six-yard line.

1700
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:42,340
 Gain about three or four.

1701
01:21:44,300 --> 01:21:47,440
 Williams has squatted down, so I thought he was zero.

1702
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:51,800
 Brings up second down and goal at the six.

1703
01:21:52,340 --> 01:21:55,700
 Trailing seven-zero here with 248 and counting.

1704
01:21:55,820 --> 01:21:58,140
 We're in a very small visitor's booth.

1705
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,320
 We're thankful for it, but it's hard to see,

1706
01:22:00,440 --> 01:22:03,180
 especially when they come down this left sideline and left side.

1707
01:22:03,700 --> 01:22:05,140
 Johnson will be the tailback.

1708
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,000
 Mayhand in shotgun formation.

1709
01:22:07,480 --> 01:22:08,780
 Play clock at 16.

1710
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:10,260
 Lawrence trailing by seven.

1711
01:22:10,340 --> 01:22:11,540
 Had two wide outs to the left.

1712
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:13,660
 Now the tight end will come left.

1713
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,580
 This time Johnson off the left side, trying to use the speed.

1714
01:22:17,700 --> 01:22:20,000
 Got outside, trying to get to the five, to the three.

1715
01:22:20,140 --> 01:22:21,460
 Pushes forward close to the goal line.

1716
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:24,040
 He's down around the one, depending on the mark.

1717
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,680
 I think they'll mark him just inside the two,

1718
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,460
 and he'll bring up third and goal just inside the two,

1719
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:30,960
 and a nice push on that left side.

1720
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:33,260
 That was a nice push on the left side,

1721
01:22:33,480 --> 01:22:37,060
 and DeCarson Johnson found a nice little seam to cut into.

1722
01:22:37,460 --> 01:22:40,360
 Almost found his way into the end zone, but was stopped just short.

1723
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,160
 Trill Morris seeing wide left.

1724
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:44,420
 If they throw it to Morris in the corner of the end zone,

1725
01:22:44,500 --> 01:22:45,540
 John, you'll have to make the call.

1726
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:46,980
 I'll do my best here.

1727
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:48,600
 I'm going to stand up to you and get a little more look here.

1728
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:52,680
 Third and goal under center will go.

1729
01:22:52,780 --> 01:22:54,460
 Now coming back with two backs in the backfield.

1730
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:55,100
 It's Mayhand.

1731
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:57,400
 On the third and goal at the two.

1732
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:00,960
 Mayhand going to lead with Johnson off the right side.

1733
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:01,280
 Skip.

1734
01:23:01,380 --> 01:23:02,180
 Hop didn't get there.

1735
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,540
 Got to the one, but that's all.

1736
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:08,720
 And it brings up fourth and goal, and no doubt about it.

1737
01:23:08,740 --> 01:23:10,020
 Kenny Morrison's going to go for it.

1738
01:23:10,140 --> 01:23:11,640
 1.30 and counting in the first quarter.

1739
01:23:11,740 --> 01:23:12,620
 Down 7-0.

1740
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,100
 Could run the power play with the quarterback.

1741
01:23:22,100 --> 01:23:23,540
 Fourth and goal at the one.

1742
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:25,220
 It's so close, Kevin.

1743
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:27,420
 It's hard to still away from a quarterback sneak.

1744
01:23:27,900 --> 01:23:29,340
 And he is under center now.

1745
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:30,140
 It's Mayhand.

1746
01:23:31,820 --> 01:23:32,900
 Mayhand is going to sneak.

1747
01:23:32,980 --> 01:23:33,560
 He's pushed far.

1748
01:23:33,620 --> 01:23:34,080
 He's in.

1749
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:35,160
 Touchdown fly.

1750
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:43,600
 Big.

1751
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:48,020
 Prima to 7-6 with 1-0-6, or 1-0-4 to go here in the first quarter.

1752
01:23:48,660 --> 01:23:52,840
 You know, Russell Bull's defense so far has shown some moxie and some promise.

1753
01:23:53,140 --> 01:23:55,380
 It's going to be a tough sled there for Florence.

1754
01:23:55,460 --> 01:23:59,700
 So that was a very nice drive that they strung together to go about 70 yards.

1755
01:24:00,260 --> 01:24:00,840
 Good snap.

1756
01:24:00,940 --> 01:24:01,320
 Good hold.

1757
01:24:01,460 --> 01:24:05,420
 Greenhouse kick is up, and it is good as well.

1758
01:24:05,780 --> 01:24:06,340
 New score.

1759
01:24:06,480 --> 01:24:09,140
 We're tied at 7 with 1-0-4 to go here in the first.

1760
01:24:09,500 --> 01:24:10,320
 It's a stock in football.

1761
01:24:10,500 --> 01:24:11,080
 Don't go away.

1762
01:24:11,140 --> 01:24:11,900
 We're back in 30.

1763
01:24:13,100 --> 01:24:17,320
 At North Alabama Bone and Joint Clinic, our Shoals roots run deep.

1764
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:24,040
 We provide quick access and familiar, friendly faces so you never have to feel just like a number.

1766

1767
01:24:36,580 --> 01:24:39,300

 Learn more at nabjc.com.

1769
01:24:46,700 --> 01:24:50,080
 Back here at Golden Tiger Stadium where Florence ties it up to 7-7.

1770
01:24:50,220 --> 01:24:53,480
 Kevin Johnson, boys of the Falcons, let's go to our statistician on that last drive.

1771
01:24:53,660 --> 01:24:59,260
 Kevin, nine plays, 68 yards, four minutes and 18 seconds that came off the clock.

1772
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,460
 Of course, finished with that one-yard QB sneak by Costa Mahan.

1773
01:25:04,480 --> 01:25:05,460
 Falcons tie the game.

1774
01:25:05,580 --> 01:25:07,140
 Overcoming a five-yard penalty, too.

1775
01:25:07,260 --> 01:25:08,300
 Impressive by the Falcons.

1776
01:25:08,500 --> 01:25:09,620
 Greenhalder booted away.

1777
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:12,320
 Puts a foot into it.

1778
01:25:12,780 --> 01:25:15,120
 Will drive Davis back all the way back to the one.

1779
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,120
 They say he's going to have a chance to run it back.

1780
01:25:17,460 --> 01:25:18,740
 Has great speed at the 20.

1781
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,280
 He's hit hard at the 23 and goes down there.

1782
01:25:21,940 --> 01:25:24,740
 The top of the wall was there, but he's knocked down at the 23-yard line.

1783
01:25:25,220 --> 01:25:27,180
 I thought he was in the end zone by a step.

1784
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:29,280
 Jeffrey Jones, I don't know if you can hear me back there.

1785
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:30,880
 He was right by you, but it was pretty close.

1786
01:25:30,980 --> 01:25:31,420
 Yeah, he was.

1787
01:25:32,060 --> 01:25:36,320
 I guess you could say he caught it and he stepped in the end zone and immediately the white hat just ran it.

1788
01:25:36,460 --> 01:25:38,740
 And so good speed by that young man right there.

1789
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:40,080
 He hit it hard.

1790
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:43,000
 And, you know, their defense is playing well.

1791
01:25:43,140 --> 01:25:45,160
 Their defense is a lot better than I thought they'd be.

1792
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:46,100
 And they've got some size.

1793
01:25:46,580 --> 01:25:52,660
 You know, this Todd Rogers kid on the left tackle, probably one of the bigger ones we've seen in a long time.

1794
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:54,200
 6'6", right at 300 pounds.

1795
01:25:54,460 --> 01:25:55,560
 Yeah, he's every bit of it, too.

1796
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:58,280
 Carter Clement, Darren Jones are in at wide receivers.

1797
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:06,260
 The tailback, I believe, is this time going to be Weston Whitaker along with Davis.

1798
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:07,460
 Davis right at the middle.

1799
01:26:07,540 --> 01:26:09,760
 Hit at the line of scrimmage and he's not going to get anywhere.

1800
01:26:10,220 --> 01:26:11,680
 Great job by A.J. Dixon.

1801
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:13,920
 Read that one and said no more of that.

1802
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:16,540
 Yeah, A.J. Dixon, he ran right at him.

1803
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:21,640
 He shed his block and was able to get that ball carrier right at the line of attack.

1804
01:26:21,980 --> 01:26:23,180
 Second down and 10.

1805
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:26,240
 That little trap play they run right there is what it is.

1806
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:27,160
 And he stayed with it.

1807
01:26:27,900 --> 01:26:30,780
 This may be the last play of the quarter if it's not a pass or a penalty.

1808
01:26:32,900 --> 01:26:35,420
 Russell will try to build this c*** and make a short game.

1809
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:36,480
 Two backs in the backfield.

1810
01:26:36,580 --> 01:26:38,860
 One wide receiver left on second down and 10 for Cleveland.

1811
01:26:39,620 --> 01:26:41,200
 Quarterback wants the quick throw, quick out.

1812
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:42,460
 And he's got it out there to Jones.

1813
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:44,120
 Caught it at the 30-yard line.

1814
01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:45,180
 Knocked out of bounds.

1815
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:47,180
 He'll be short of the first down.

1816
01:26:47,300 --> 01:26:48,500
 He gains about six, though.

1817
01:26:49,980 --> 01:26:51,160
 Well, they gave him more than that.

1818
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:52,100
 They gave him to the 32.

1819
01:26:52,900 --> 01:26:54,100
 Well, they gave him to the 33.

1820
01:26:54,300 --> 01:26:55,260
 That was a very generous shot.

1821
01:26:55,260 --> 01:26:56,940
 They gave way more than I thought.

1822
01:26:58,200 --> 01:26:59,220
 Third down and one.

1823
01:26:59,380 --> 01:27:00,600
 And the clock's going to run out.

1824
01:27:00,660 --> 01:27:01,900
 They said he was still in bounds.

1825
01:27:02,460 --> 01:27:03,800
 So the clock will run out.

1826
01:27:03,860 --> 01:27:05,320
 And that'll be the end of the first quarter.

1827
01:27:05,780 --> 01:27:06,620
 After one.

1828
01:27:06,820 --> 01:27:07,500
 Florence seven.

1829
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:08,280
 Russell seven.

1830
01:27:08,580 --> 01:27:09,560
 This is Falcon football.

1831
01:27:09,780 --> 01:27:10,680
 We're back in one minute.

1832
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:12,240
 Hey, Falcon fans.

1833
01:27:12,300 --> 01:27:12,780
 This is Keith.

1834
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:13,980
 Cypress Creek Indoor Range.

1835
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:16,020
 We know great defense starts up front.

1836
01:27:16,180 --> 01:27:18,400
 And the Falcons start with Jaden Wyatt, your defensive tackle.

1837
01:27:19,020 --> 01:27:26,820
 Whether stopping the run or disrupting that quarterback, Jaden has the right tools, puts in the hard work, and has the right training to stop the offensive threat of opposing teams.

1838
01:27:27,180 --> 01:27:31,520
 Let Cypress Creek Indoor Range provide you with the tools, training, and resources to defend your family.

1839
01:27:31,940 --> 01:27:38,760
 We're the biggest gun store in the Shoals and the only indoor shooting range and training center to provide everything you need to have the best defense for your family.

1840
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:43,460
 Cypress Creek Indoor Range is located at 5060 Highway 157 in Underwood, Petersville.

1841
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:47,040
 On the web at cypresscreekrange.com and on social media.

1842
01:27:47,500 --> 01:27:48,040
 Go Falcons!

1843
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:50,540
 Central leading Lauderdale County, 7-0.

1844
01:27:50,660 --> 01:27:53,160
 West Limestone leading Colbert Heights, 14-0.

1845
01:27:53,580 --> 01:27:55,320
 Muscle Shoals leading Austin, 7-0.

1846
01:27:55,440 --> 01:27:57,160
 Colbert County leading Sheffield, 7-0.

1847
01:27:57,460 --> 01:27:59,160
 Hackelberg leading Waterloo, 7-0.

1848
01:27:59,660 --> 01:28:02,180
 Gadsden City trailing James Clemens, 7-0.

1849
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:03,820
 Dessert leading Hamilton, 7-0.

1850
01:28:03,940 --> 01:28:05,500
 Athens leads Decatur, 7-0.

1851
01:28:05,900 --> 01:28:07,400
 Addison leads Phillips, 12-0.

1852
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:09,580
 Morris Hill leads Shoals Christian, 14-0.

1853
01:28:09,700 --> 01:28:11,340
 Lexington leading Falkville, 14-0.

1854
01:28:11,700 --> 01:28:13,440
 And the Braves leading the Phillies, 1-0.

1855
01:28:15,440 --> 01:28:16,880
 Big game for the Braves there.

1856
01:28:17,020 --> 01:28:20,600
 We'll keep you updated throughout the night on that one as well here at Golden Tigers Stadium.

1857
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,220
 Florence and Russell deadlocked at 7.

1858
01:28:23,340 --> 01:28:26,580
 The Golden Tigers scored early in the first three plays of the game.

1859
01:28:26,660 --> 01:28:28,680
 They hit a big pass play from Cleveland to Clement.

1860
01:28:29,100 --> 01:28:34,740
 But then the Falcons answered late in the quarter with a long nine-play march down the field, 68 yards.

1861
01:28:35,480 --> 01:28:37,420
 Culminated on a fourth down in one play.

1862
01:28:37,540 --> 01:28:40,380
 Mahan sneaks it in behind that big offensive line.

1863
01:28:40,440 --> 01:28:41,340
 And we're tied at 7.

1864
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:43,840
 The Golden Tigers will now go right to left.

1865
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:47,140
 So they'll have the ball second down and one at the 33.

1866
01:28:47,300 --> 01:28:50,260
 And, Michael, second down and one, that's where you take a shot right here if you're Russell.

1867
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:51,460
 Oh, absolutely.

1868
01:28:51,700 --> 01:28:53,200
 You know, this is one of those opportunities.

1869
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:54,440
 It is third and one.

1870
01:28:55,060 --> 01:28:55,660
 Oh, third and one.

1871
01:28:55,740 --> 01:28:55,940
 Excuse me.

1872
01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:56,160
 Okay.

1873
01:28:56,600 --> 01:28:57,840
 It is third and one.

1874
01:28:58,320 --> 01:28:58,820
 That's right.

1875
01:28:58,860 --> 01:28:59,800
 He had the incomplete pass.

1876
01:28:59,860 --> 01:29:00,600
 So third and one.

1877
01:29:02,060 --> 01:29:06,200
 Davis and Whitaker both in the backfield against a four-man front for Florence.

1878
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:06,920
 Three-man front.

1879
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:09,880
 Going to lead with Davis off to the side.

1880
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,100
 And he pushes forward and got the first down, I believe.

1881
01:29:12,500 --> 01:29:13,920
 They'll give him the mark at the 35.

1882
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:14,820
 That'll move the chains.

1883
01:29:15,500 --> 01:29:16,780
 Florence says they got the ball.

1884
01:29:17,020 --> 01:29:18,680
 But the official has blown the whistle.

1885
01:29:19,420 --> 01:29:22,020
 And Florence come out of here with a football and don't understand why.

1886
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:23,680
 But nobody's come up.

1887
01:29:24,480 --> 01:29:26,020
 Is this a five-man crew, by the way?

1888
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:26,760
 I'm just looking at this.

1889
01:29:26,900 --> 01:29:29,280
 One, two, three, four, five-man crew.

1890
01:29:32,020 --> 01:29:35,760
 Jeffrey Jones, I don't know if you can hear me or not, but I just realized it's a five-man crew for this game.

1891
01:29:35,820 --> 01:29:36,300
 Am I correct?

1892
01:29:38,180 --> 01:29:39,160
 He's walking around the edge.

1893
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:39,980
 He's still walking around the edge.

1894
01:29:40,140 --> 01:29:41,420
 I heard the last of that.

1895
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:42,500
 Let me count real quick.

1896
01:29:43,900 --> 01:29:44,220
 Yes.

1897
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:45,180
 It is a five-man crew.

1898
01:29:45,300 --> 01:29:45,660
 It sure is.

1899
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:47,340
 That's tough in a game like this.

1900
01:29:48,260 --> 01:29:49,800
 7-7 over the first down.

1901
01:29:50,900 --> 01:29:52,560
 The old ball coach with the old tricks.

1902
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:53,680
 35-yard line.

1903
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:54,640
 Looked like the Tigers move.

1904
01:29:54,700 --> 01:29:55,240
 They want to pass.

1905
01:29:55,340 --> 01:29:55,920
 Roll to the right.

1906
01:29:56,180 --> 01:29:56,960
 To the right side line.

1907
01:29:57,020 --> 01:29:58,420
 Going out to the front and missed this man.

1908
01:29:58,520 --> 01:29:59,220
 Good defense there.

1909
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:01,960
 That was much better defense by the Falcons.

1910
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:06,200
 Looked like Sistrunk running step for step with the intended receiver.

1911
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:07,420
 Out of the backfield.

1912
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:08,820
 John?

1913
01:30:09,140 --> 01:30:09,900
 It was a great job.

1914
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:10,940
 He really did a good job.

1915
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:15,780
 He was on the out, and the receiver wound up cutting it up the sideline,

1916
01:30:15,980 --> 01:30:19,680
 and he was able to flip his hips and go with him and stay stride for stride.

1917
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:20,840
 A really good job I was.

1918
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:24,660
 Second down and 10 for the Golden Tigers.

1919
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:25,320
 Tied at 7.

1920
01:30:25,380 --> 01:30:27,140
 11-15 to go in the first quarter.

1921
01:30:28,100 --> 01:30:31,500
 The play clock has not been reset, so Russell can take all the time they want.

1922
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:32,380
 I don't understand that.

1923
01:30:32,380 --> 01:30:38,940
 Under the center again, Cleveland with two backs in the backfield.

1924
01:30:39,700 --> 01:30:40,720
 Watch for the Sally play here.

1925
01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:42,620
 Jumped up, fumbled, picked up, going back.

1926
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:43,220
 It's on the ground.

1927
01:30:43,580 --> 01:30:45,580
 Berski tried to get it, but it's recovered by the Tigers.

1928
01:30:45,900 --> 01:30:49,180
 That's a 25, and they were going to run that Sally play right there, I believe, John.

1929
01:30:49,500 --> 01:30:53,440
 That's that inside reverse after you hand it off, and boy, that was disastrous for Russell

1930
01:30:53,440 --> 01:30:55,280
 and nearly a big break for Florence.

1931
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,520
 It was certainly going to be a trick play.

1932
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,100
 They had two tight ends, which they don't normally line up with,

1933
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:05,800
 so they were definitely doing something unusual that we hadn't seen much of on film.

1934
01:31:05,900 --> 01:31:07,540
 Loss of 8, 3rd, and 18.

1935
01:31:07,860 --> 01:31:09,180
 We're definitely having clock issues.

1936
01:31:09,860 --> 01:31:10,440
 Okay, there we go.

1937
01:31:10,540 --> 01:31:10,960
 Start again.

1938
01:31:11,100 --> 01:31:11,260
 11-07.

1939
01:31:11,540 --> 01:31:13,120
 The play clock has not started again.

1940
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:15,620
 The play clock has not worked in the past two or three times.

1941
01:31:16,620 --> 01:31:21,360
 Wide to the right for the Golden Tigers will be Darren Jones, the speedster,

1942
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:23,040
 on this 3rd and 18 play.

1943
01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:27,860
 Cleveland going to pitch it out to the left, try to get Davis loose,

1944
01:31:27,900 --> 01:31:28,880
 and he's not going to get there.

1945
01:31:29,140 --> 01:31:30,680
 He's knocked down to the 30-yard line.

1946
01:31:30,780 --> 01:31:31,720
 Great defense there.

1947
01:31:32,060 --> 01:31:34,740
 Boy, did Jaden White come down that line and make a play, Mike.

1948
01:31:34,820 --> 01:31:36,760
 He scraped along that edge real hard.

1949
01:31:37,420 --> 01:31:44,180
 He was definitely in pursuit, and that was just a big play by the big man.

1950
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:47,600
 4th and 14, and Cleveland, the quarterback, will punt it away.

1951
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:51,880
 Again, if you're Florence, you better be alert.

1952
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:54,160
 You can't just assume they're going to punt this ball,

1953
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:57,240
 and these outside guys on the edge, you've got to run with them

1954
01:31:57,240 --> 01:31:58,920
 and be alert at all times.

1955
01:32:01,300 --> 01:32:03,460
 Cleveland earlier had a shorter punt, but a good bounce.

1956
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:04,080
 Good snap.

1957
01:32:04,140 --> 01:32:04,960
 He's going to punt it away.

1958
01:32:05,380 --> 01:32:06,340
 This one, a better punt.

1959
01:32:06,420 --> 01:32:08,600
 Going to drive Gulesby back to the 32.

1960
01:32:08,780 --> 01:32:09,300
 Caught it there.

1961
01:32:09,580 --> 01:32:10,520
 Spin out of one tackle.

1962
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:13,260
 Stayed on his fate, 35, and a knockdown at the 37.

1963
01:32:13,900 --> 01:32:17,380
 So we get about a five-yard return, and it'll be first and 10 for the Falcons.

1964
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:19,560
 Tied at seven with 10.03 to go in the half.

1965
01:32:20,020 --> 01:32:23,000
 Don't forget, at the half, we'll have a Falcon moment

1966
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,360
 with the cross-country coaches of Florence High School.

1967
01:32:25,500 --> 01:32:27,100
 What a season they've had already.

1968
01:32:27,220 --> 01:32:28,280
 They have a big meet tomorrow.

1969
01:32:28,860 --> 01:32:32,340
 Best of luck to them as they run tomorrow in Moulton, Alabama,

1970
01:32:32,460 --> 01:32:33,460
 against some of the best teams.

1971
01:32:33,940 --> 01:32:36,380
 And then also the athletic director of Florence High School,

1972
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:39,720
 Meyer Miles, Coach Meyer Miles, will be with us at the half.

1973
01:32:39,780 --> 01:32:42,120
 So a lot coming up here on the TNT Fireworks Halftime Show.

1974
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:44,660
 Kirkman wide right.

1975
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,000
 I believe that may be Morris wide to the left.

1976
01:32:47,500 --> 01:32:48,200
 Shot good formation.

1977
01:32:48,340 --> 01:32:49,600
 Isaac going to leave it with Williams.

1978
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:50,900
 He's hit at the line of scrimmage.

1979
01:32:51,180 --> 01:32:51,760
 Spins forward.

1980
01:32:51,860 --> 01:32:53,740
 Spins forward and got two, three, four yards.

1981
01:32:54,100 --> 01:32:54,820
 How did he do it?

1982
01:32:54,840 --> 01:32:55,980
 He did it all by himself.

1983
01:32:56,460 --> 01:32:59,540
 He should have lost two, and he's going to gain four to the 41.

1984
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:00,760
 Unbelievable.

1985
01:33:01,060 --> 01:33:02,000
 We talk about his speed.

1986
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:03,320
 We talk about his elucidiousness.

1987
01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:06,200
 Man, his strength is really what stands out.

1988
01:33:06,440 --> 01:33:09,800
 It really is for such a young back, being able to, you know,

1989
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:12,200
 make guys miss and drag some guys along the pile.

1990
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:15,280
 You know, it's just definitely one of those effort plays

1991
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:17,100
 that doesn't come up on the score sheet.

1992
01:33:17,340 --> 01:33:18,000
 Gillespie right.

1993
01:33:18,540 --> 01:33:20,380
 Kirkman left on the second-down seven play.

1994
01:33:20,940 --> 01:33:22,040
 Again, going to leave it with Williams.

1995
01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:22,780
 He tries to bounce.

1996
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:23,360
 Use his speed.

1997
01:33:23,480 --> 01:33:23,940
 Cuts up.

1998
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:24,740
 Stayed on his feet.

1999
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:26,180
 Got across the 40 to the 44.

2000
01:33:26,300 --> 01:33:27,700
 He's going to be short of the line to gain.

2001
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:29,300
 He's about three yards short.

2002
01:33:31,220 --> 01:33:33,620
 Not getting the best spots over there on both of these.

2003
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:34,020
 He carries.

2004
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:37,200
 But he'll bring up third down and three at the 44.

2005
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:40,940
 The Falcons have to touch the 47 to get a first down with 9-10 and counting.

2006
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:43,340
 Here on 9-11.

2007
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:45,720
 2026.

2008
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:49,160
 Falcons look back to the sideline.

2009
01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:51,480
 The play clocks are not working.

2010
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:52,700
 So they're having to keep it on the field.

2011
01:33:53,580 --> 01:33:55,940
 One man in the backfield with the quarterback, Mahan.

2012
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:56,940
 Looks the pass.

2013
01:33:57,060 --> 01:33:57,720
 Throws the quick out.

2014
01:33:57,920 --> 01:33:59,940
 Complete at the 50-yard line and dropped, I believe.

2015
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:00,720
 He didn't bring it in.

2016
01:34:01,140 --> 01:34:01,960
 Thought he had it.

2017
01:34:02,020 --> 01:34:02,880
 Couldn't bring it in.

2018
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:04,360
 And it brings up fourth down.

2019
01:34:04,460 --> 01:34:05,560
 And Falcons have to put it away.

2020
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:06,180
 He had him.

2021
01:34:06,700 --> 01:34:08,720
 Maybe outside his right arm a little bit.

2022
01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:13,220
 It was an unfortunate drop there on a big play to get a first down.

2023
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:17,080
 We're going to have to punt this one away and hold serve here on the defense.

2024
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:21,600
 And the dangerous Taurus Davis will go back to return the punt.

2025
01:34:21,720 --> 01:34:26,460
 He is everywhere for this Golden Tiger team on fourth and three.

2026
01:34:28,660 --> 01:34:29,960
 Good snap to Greenhall.

2027
01:34:30,540 --> 01:34:31,440
 And he boots it away.

2028
01:34:31,740 --> 01:34:32,900
 High-hanging punt.

2029
01:34:33,100 --> 01:34:34,360
 And going to have to let it go.

2030
01:34:34,440 --> 01:34:36,000
 And it's a Falcon bounce inside the 20.

2031
01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:37,760
 Roll ball inside the 10.

2032
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:42,900
 Down to about the 9-8-yard line and a great punt there by Greenhall with 8.37 to go.

2033
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:50,560
 And that means that the Golden Tigers will have at least 92 yards to go here with 8.37 to go in.

2034
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:52,420
 They're marking at the 9 now.

2035
01:34:52,480 --> 01:34:53,580
 They're moving up to the 9-yard line.

2036
01:34:53,820 --> 01:34:59,880
 We'll call it 91 yards to go with 8.37 to go in the first half.

2037
01:34:59,960 --> 01:35:00,740
 Tied at 7.

2038
01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:03,920
 So both teams trading punts.

2039
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:09,020
 Let's see if this Falcon defense can once again come up with a big stop.

2040
01:35:11,460 --> 01:35:12,960
 Come into the game again.

2041
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:16,620
 The backs will be Davis.

2042
01:35:17,660 --> 01:35:18,780
 They look like Weston.

2043
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:23,840
 Trying to see these black numbers on gold uniforms is not always the easiest thing to see.

2044
01:35:23,900 --> 01:35:24,560
 But we'll do our best.

2045
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:27,700
 The writing is not bad, but it's not great.

2046
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:28,460
 It's not great.

2047
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:30,760
 Two backs in the backfield for Cleveland and the quarterback.

2048
01:35:31,300 --> 01:35:32,720
 It's a man in motion to the left.

2049
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:34,360
 And he moved early.

2050
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:35,740
 I thought, no, they're just shifting.

2051
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:37,520
 Going to try to run the outside counter.

2052
01:35:37,900 --> 01:35:41,400
 And he's hit at the 10, get away from the 15, and pushed out of bounds at the 16-yard line.

2053
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:45,200
 Good job there by Landon Rayner who come up and drove him out of bounds.

2054
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:47,140
 But a gain of about 6 or 7 there.

2055
01:35:47,460 --> 01:35:48,440
 Brings up second down.

2056
01:35:48,540 --> 01:35:49,580
 And we'll call it 3 to go.

2057
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:53,940
 Yeah, it was a nice play around the edge there for Russell.

2058
01:35:54,060 --> 01:35:55,660
 They blocked it well.

2059
01:35:55,900 --> 01:35:57,840
 The Falcons kind of stuck with it.

2060
01:35:57,900 --> 01:36:02,240
 They tried to keep him inside, but he was able to bounce it outside and pick up some extra yards.

2061
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:07,180
 Checking into the game for the Golden Tigers, Darren Jones, speedy wide receiver.

2062
01:36:07,300 --> 01:36:09,940
 He'll come out wide left on his second down and 3.

2063
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:12,500
 This is a place where they might take a shot down the field.

2064
01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:14,660
 Second down and 3 play.

2065
01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:16,800
 Two backs in the backfield for Cleveland and under center.

2066
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:22,020
 This time ran the belly off the right side and got the first down, I believe, close to the 20-yard line.

2067
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:25,360
 Tripped up there after a gain of about 3, but it should be enough to move the chains.

2068
01:36:26,540 --> 01:36:28,560
 Yeah, it was a simple belly play.

2069
01:36:28,700 --> 01:36:31,440
 They just wound up getting right past the sticks there.

2070
01:36:31,580 --> 01:36:35,100
 Easy call for everybody and moving the sticks for a first down.

2071
01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:37,220
 8-25 and counting here in the first half.

2072
01:36:37,480 --> 01:36:42,400
 Jeffrey Jones, this offense for Russell is very methodical, but boy, they know what they're doing.

2073
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:44,880
 Yeah, it's amazing.

2074
01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:47,560
 They've only had this offense since, what, April?

2075
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:49,800
 And they're running it very well.

2076
01:36:50,120 --> 01:36:54,240
 They've got the personnel to run it, and these guys, they're not going to make many mistakes.

2077
01:36:56,700 --> 01:37:05,800
 He scored a touchdown wide right on this play, and the play starts a whistle, and it looked like maybe the Falcons moved, is what they're saying?

2078
01:37:06,140 --> 01:37:07,560
 They're saying they lined up.

2079
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:09,120
 Lined up all sides.

2080
01:37:09,940 --> 01:37:15,900
 Yeah, that's the old official right in front of the Russellville bench being able to throw that one.

2081
01:37:16,100 --> 01:37:20,240
 You see it all the time on road games, and I'm not saying that it wasn't an offsides.

2082
01:37:20,300 --> 01:37:24,300
 I'm just saying that it's just weird to have the same official always calls that one.

2083
01:37:24,420 --> 01:37:29,420
 That's like I said, there's an old saying when you're on the road, don't run the ball to the opposition side.

2084
01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:34,080
 You're going to get a call often go against you with eight minutes to go, and clock ticking tied at seven.

2085
01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:35,520
 It brings up first down and five.

2086
01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:40,780
 One wide receiver, Jones, wide to the left, two backs in the backfield.

2087
01:37:41,660 --> 01:37:44,520
 Looks to pass, wants to throw to the left, down the field, going to go route.

2088
01:37:44,740 --> 01:37:47,720
 Trying to get out there to Jones, and he caught it at the 40-yard line.

2089
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:49,020
 Now he didn't have to drop it.

2090
01:37:49,380 --> 01:37:49,960
 Now it's why.

2091
01:37:50,820 --> 01:37:51,600
 Do they say?

2092
01:37:56,040 --> 01:37:59,580
 I'm playing on Dez Brown, who was step with step with him.

2093
01:37:59,660 --> 01:38:03,820
 I thought it was excellent defense, not because I'm a Falcon, but I didn't think it was anything egregious.

2094
01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:05,340
 It wasn't anything egregious.

2095
01:38:05,420 --> 01:38:08,260
 There's always some jockeying for position with a wide receiver in a corner.

2096
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:09,620
 Was there contact?

2097
01:38:09,740 --> 01:38:13,640
 Sure, was it beyond the limits that it should be, maybe.

2098
01:38:14,180 --> 01:38:20,640
 But, you know, that's one of those coin flip calls, and on the road, you're going to have that flag thrown more often than not.

2099
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:24,020
 And the pass was right in front of the Russellville bench once again.

2100
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:28,460
 So veteran coaching staff understands the importance of little things like that.

2101
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:30,200
 Checking in the game for the Golden Tigers.

2102
01:38:30,380 --> 01:38:31,820
 Clement will come in at wide receiver.

2103
01:38:32,420 --> 01:38:33,800
 Davis is still your tailback.

2104
01:38:35,480 --> 01:38:39,720
 And again, with this play clock not working, boy, they can just milk that clock all they want.

2105
01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:41,880
 7.43, though, the clock stopped.

2106
01:38:42,900 --> 01:38:43,980
 Two wide receivers.

2107
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:47,020
 Clement, I think, wide, or Jones made wide right, one wide left.

2108
01:38:48,140 --> 01:38:51,900
 Going to leave with this trap, almost fumbled it, but he got it back and got it to the 45.

2109
01:38:51,900 --> 01:38:57,740
 They had trouble on the exchange, but Whitaker got it and gained four or five yards.

2110
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:00,500
 And right now they've got the Falcons on the heels on the defense.

2111
01:39:00,660 --> 01:39:02,600
 They're going left, they're going right, they're going over the top.

2112
01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:05,440
 The trap play, that's what the wing tee does, doesn't it, John?

2113
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:08,480
 Yeah, some of our defensive linemen,

2114
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:10,640
 they're more keen to get upfield.

2115
01:39:11,020 --> 01:39:13,340
 They're going to have to play right on the line of scrimmage.

2116
01:39:13,420 --> 01:39:15,400
 If their lineman in front of them blocks down,

2117
01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:17,780
 they've got to be ready for that trap block.

2118
01:39:17,920 --> 01:39:19,160
 They're eating us up with that,

2119
01:39:19,460 --> 01:39:21,960
 and they're going to have to be a lot more disciplined to play it better.

2120
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:24,720
 7.07 and counting here in the first half.

2121
01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:28,580
 Wing tee offense this time, going to pitch it to the right side,

2122
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:29,820
 try to use speed, get outside.

2123
01:39:30,140 --> 01:39:32,260
 There should have been a block in the back right there, no call.

2124
01:39:32,260 --> 01:39:34,620
 We're going to gain about six yards on the first down.

2125
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:36,880
 Chase Winkles got shoved in the back.

2126
01:39:36,980 --> 01:39:39,440
 He was coming up to make the play right in front of us,

2127
01:39:39,440 --> 01:39:44,060
 but no call, and it's going to be first down to the Falcons' 48-yard line.

2128
01:39:45,100 --> 01:39:47,620
 I think the turf gun monster got him a little bit, too.

2129
01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:49,020
 That was a blow, dude.

2130
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:50,260
 He got hit hard.

2131
01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:53,620
 When he got up, he didn't act like he didn't look for any flags.

2132
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:57,620
 I don't think he's going to look for many on the road tonight with 657 or 557.

2133
01:39:57,720 --> 01:39:58,560
 I'm trying to see it there.

2134
01:39:59,180 --> 01:40:02,560
 Yeah, six maybe is what it is, 657 to go here in the first half.

2135
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:04,720
 In Falcon territory at the 48.

2136
01:40:04,820 --> 01:40:06,740
 We're tied at seven, but Russell now marching.

2137
01:40:07,580 --> 01:40:08,320
 Looked to pass again.

2138
01:40:08,420 --> 01:40:09,880
 Cleveland wants to throw right baseline,

2139
01:40:10,240 --> 01:40:12,240
 going one-on-one with this tall receiver out there,

2140
01:40:12,480 --> 01:40:13,980
 and they're going to throw another flag.

2141
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:15,480
 So they're getting the flag.

2142
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:18,500
 That time it was a six-foot-six wide receiver, Jeffrey Jones.

2143
01:40:18,500 --> 01:40:20,500
 We talked about the size of some of these wide receivers,

2144
01:40:20,860 --> 01:40:22,200
 and that's why he got the call there.

2145
01:40:48,140 --> 01:40:49,900
 Golden Tigers, along with Clement.

2146
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:53,720
 I tell you what, I wish I had a stopwatch up here

2147
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:56,940
 to see how much time they get off with this play clock not working.

2148
01:40:58,140 --> 01:40:59,360
 6.51 to go.

2149
01:40:59,820 --> 01:41:01,800
 Two backs at the 33-yard line.

2150
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:04,340
 Cleveland puts a man in motion to his left.

2151
01:41:05,500 --> 01:41:07,340
 Going to give it off to the right side with Davis.

2152
01:41:07,620 --> 01:41:09,120
 Cut it up and got hit at the 30-yard line.

2153
01:41:09,220 --> 01:41:12,220
 Spence Farge stays on his feet, and finally hog-tied at the 26.

2154
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:13,720
 He'd still be running.

2155
01:41:13,820 --> 01:41:14,620
 He breaks the tackle.

2156
01:41:14,620 --> 01:41:17,180
 It was Sistrunk that hit him after a gain of six.

2157
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:19,800
 Yeah, a couple missed tackles up front.

2158
01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:22,780
 It really, really almost caused that one to be busted.

2159
01:41:23,220 --> 01:41:26,340
 At the last line of defense, Otis Sistrunk wound up, you know,

2160
01:41:26,380 --> 01:41:27,880
 being able to wrap him up and take him down.

2161
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:33,460
 Tigers marching at the 26-yard line, tied at seven with six-and-a-half to go in counting.

2162
01:41:34,860 --> 01:41:36,640
 They're just now getting another substitute in.

2163
01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:40,920
 So, if I'm counting it, the play clock should have been down to about 10 right now,

2164
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:41,960
 but they can take their time.

2165
01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:44,800
 Two backs in the backfield still.

2166
01:41:44,900 --> 01:41:45,720
 Wing back to the right.

2167
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:47,160
 Wide receiver left is Jones.

2168
01:41:48,220 --> 01:41:49,460
 Under center, Tripp Cleveland.

2169
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:51,840
 Brings this man in motion to the left.

2170
01:41:52,660 --> 01:41:53,940
 Going to run it off the left side.

2171
01:41:54,020 --> 01:41:54,500
 Power play.

2172
01:41:54,580 --> 01:41:56,480
 He's hit at the line of scrimmage and goes down immediately.

2173
01:41:57,060 --> 01:41:57,720
 No gain.

2174
01:41:58,180 --> 01:42:00,900
 That was that defensive line making a play, and that might have been White.

2175
01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:02,600
 Jaden White said, no, sir.

2176
01:42:02,700 --> 01:42:04,020
 Now bring up third down and three.

2177
01:42:06,520 --> 01:42:10,240
 And time out on the field with 5.50 to go.

2178
01:42:10,700 --> 01:42:11,620
 We'll do the same.

2179
01:42:12,220 --> 01:42:14,120
 Florence and Russell will tied at seven.

2180
01:42:14,220 --> 01:42:15,720
 We're back in 30 seconds.

2181
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:19,920
 Hello, my name is Keith Medley,

2182
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:24,020
 and I'm an attorney with the law firm of Johnson, Passour, Medley & Virtual.

2183
01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:27,220
 Why call an out-of-town lawyer when you can call our law firm,

2184
01:42:27,340 --> 01:42:30,940
 which has over 100 years of combined experience in all areas of the law?

2185
01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:34,580
 If you have a legal matter, please call me or Leslie Johnson,

2186
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:40,140
 Debra Bell Passeur, Adam Birchall at 256-766-3131.

2187
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:43,600
 We're proud to be a sponsor of Florence High School Athletics.

2188
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:47,600
 No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed

2189
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:51,040
 is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.

2190
01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:59,320
 Back here at Golden Tiger Stadium, Kevin Johnson, Mike Albertson,

2191
01:42:59,420 --> 01:43:01,380
 Jeffrey Jones, John McDaniel tied at seven.

2192
01:43:02,300 --> 01:43:04,160
 Midway second quarter, 5.50 to go.

2193
01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:08,720
 And, Mike, it's one of those games where Florence is really on the heels a little bit,

2194
01:43:08,780 --> 01:43:09,860
 but they've got to make a big play.

2195
01:43:09,940 --> 01:43:10,940
 It's third and three right here.

2196
01:43:11,340 --> 01:43:14,200
 You know, coming off of a big game against Muscle Shoals

2197
01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:16,120
 where you kind of felt like it was going back and forth,

2198
01:43:16,220 --> 01:43:18,560
 and at times the Falcons were on their heels.

2199
01:43:18,960 --> 01:43:21,520
 This isn't too dissimilar from that situation,

2200
01:43:21,700 --> 01:43:25,620
 and the Falcons wound up continuing to fight and making some big plays,

2201
01:43:25,740 --> 01:43:26,960
 so we need one of those here.

2202
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:28,940
 I know you don't do it often against the wing tee,

2203
01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:31,780
 but a blitz right here, maybe try to blow this play up, would be interesting.

2204
01:43:32,440 --> 01:43:33,200
 Third and three.

2205
01:43:34,540 --> 01:43:36,980
 Cleveland going to give – no play action rolling to the right.

2206
01:43:37,060 --> 01:43:37,560
 Blitz coming.

2207
01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:39,900
 He throws it across the middle, and it's complete at the 15.

2208
01:43:40,480 --> 01:43:43,640
 Hammered there by Otis Sistrup, but he caught it enough for the first down.

2209
01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:47,300
 Otis tattooed him, but the play action was beautiful,

2210
01:43:47,440 --> 01:43:49,080
 and he catches it on the waggle play.

2211
01:43:49,500 --> 01:43:52,240
 And as John said, it's the same routes almost every time,

2212
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:53,760
 and it was wide open, the second man.

2213
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:55,000
 It was wide open.

2214
01:43:55,280 --> 01:44:00,740
 The linebacker came out, and while the quarterback was making his way to the edge,

2215
01:44:00,780 --> 01:44:03,300
 he had to kind of make a decision, and the safety had to crash in.

2216
01:44:03,460 --> 01:44:07,040
 In that little bubble there, he found that window to make that completion.

2217
01:44:07,220 --> 01:44:08,500
 It was a beautifully run play.

2218
01:44:08,740 --> 01:44:12,640
 Hawkins is the H-back on this first and 10 play.

2219
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:14,240
 Brings him in motion to the left.

2220
01:44:15,380 --> 01:44:17,500
 Going to run it left off the side, and he breaks back.

2221
01:44:17,580 --> 01:44:19,800
 We've got run room to the 10, to the 5, and Davis will score.

2222
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:24,180
 He found the hole, and he puts it in the end zone with five minutes to go

2223
01:44:24,180 --> 01:44:27,780
 in the first half, and Russell takes a 13-7 lead,

2224
01:44:27,860 --> 01:44:28,860
 pending the extra point.

2225
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:35,440
 So the Golden Tigers dialing up everything right so far.

2226
01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:37,660
 Garcia will attempt the PAT.

2227
01:44:40,440 --> 01:44:41,340
 And we see it.

2228
01:44:41,380 --> 01:44:44,620
 Taurus Davis is all that and then some.

2229
01:44:46,740 --> 01:44:49,520
 The Golden Tigers have assembled a really good team down here

2230
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:50,800
 in the first year for Darrell Higgins.

2231
01:44:51,780 --> 01:44:52,900
 Snap good, hold good.

2232
01:44:53,020 --> 01:44:53,900
 Kick is up.

2233
01:44:54,420 --> 01:44:57,060
 The kick also is good.

2234
01:44:57,640 --> 01:44:58,520
 14-7.

2235
01:44:58,640 --> 01:44:59,460
 Five minutes to go.

2236
01:44:59,620 --> 01:45:01,020
 This is Falcon football.

2237
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:01,800
 We're back in 30.

2238
01:45:04,180 --> 01:45:07,900
 Game day's coming, and your tailgate crew is counting on you.

2239
01:45:08,040 --> 01:45:11,480
 That's why Lost Pizza Company Shoals put together the tailgate playbook,

2240
01:45:11,580 --> 01:45:14,080
 specialty pizzas, wing trays, and subplatters,

2241
01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:15,780
 all built to feed a crowd.

2242
01:45:15,780 --> 01:45:19,260
 It's why we're the go-to pizza place in Florence, Alabama,

2243
01:45:19,420 --> 01:45:22,020
 now bringing that same lineup straight to your tailgate.

2244
01:45:22,140 --> 01:45:24,760
 Order for pickup or delivery to UNA tailgate only.

2245

 Call 256-415-8693 or order online at lostpizza.com front slash shoals.

2246
01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:33,060
 From our playbook to your plate.

2247
01:45:39,460 --> 01:45:42,340
 Back at Golden Tigers Stadium, Kevin Johnson with the crew.

2248
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:46,940
 Russell extends the lead to 14-7 here with five minutes to go in the first half.

2249
01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:49,100
 John McDaniel, the last drive for the Golden Tigers.

2250
01:45:49,460 --> 01:45:51,900
 Kevin, it was eight plays, 91 yards.

2251
01:45:51,900 --> 01:45:54,700
 It took three minutes and 36 seconds,

2252
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:58,660
 and it was capped with a 15-yard touchdown run by the Tigers.

2253
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:00,700
 Taurus Davis putting it in the end zone.

2254
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:02,680
 Short kick, sort of sky kick.

2255
01:46:02,780 --> 01:46:03,960
 Now we're going to drive it back decently.

2256
01:46:04,380 --> 01:46:05,720
 Putting the scoops all the way underneath.

2257
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:08,260
 The Falcons will go in the end zone, and they're going to bring it out.

2258
01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:11,220
 It's going to be Falcons to the 10, to the 15,

2259
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:12,640
 and brought down to the 15-yard line.

2260
01:46:12,860 --> 01:46:13,820
 I'll be honest with you.

2261
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:17,020
 When that ball goes to the end zone, I still think it could be a touchback.

2262
01:46:17,140 --> 01:46:18,140
 I'm not sure about the real run.

2263
01:46:18,140 --> 01:46:18,820
 He touched it.

2264
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:19,740
 He touched it first.

2265
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:20,000
 Okay.

2266
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:22,340
 So he did touch it, so he had to retreat and get it.

2267
01:46:22,620 --> 01:46:26,220
 So now the Falcons find themselves in a hole 85 yards away.

2268
01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:28,440
 The Falcons will get the ball to start the third quarter,

2269
01:46:28,540 --> 01:46:30,260
 but right now they're down by seven,

2270
01:46:30,360 --> 01:46:33,300
 and they've got to go 85 yards against a pretty good Russell team.

2271
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:38,460
 What I will say is the Falcons do get it to start the second half,

2272
01:46:38,540 --> 01:46:42,220
 so being able to control the clock here is going to be in the utmost of importance

2273
01:46:42,220 --> 01:46:43,200
 leading into the half.

2274
01:46:43,660 --> 01:46:45,420
 So Johnson will be the tailback.

2275
01:46:46,060 --> 01:46:48,200
 Two wide outs to the short side of the field.

2276
01:46:48,300 --> 01:46:49,260
 Now they're going to say a penalty.

2277
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:50,800
 Now they're going to put it at the 20.

2278
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:52,000
 They're going to agree with me on that.

2279
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:53,480
 It was a touchback.

2280
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:57,440
 In high school football, if you muff it and it still goes into the end zone,

2281
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:00,300
 it's a touchback, and that's a good job of the officials on that.

2282
01:47:00,380 --> 01:47:02,120
 I'll give them credit for Gatt and correcting that.

2283
01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:05,500
 I'm not sure it was the officials other than a coach getting in somebody's ear.

2284
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:07,620
 First and 10 at the 20.

2285
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:12,400
 Johnson, the tailback, going to get it off the right side, cut up the middle,

2286
01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:14,460
 found a little runaway, 25, stays on his feet.

2287
01:47:14,540 --> 01:47:17,540
 Oh, he just tripped up at the 27, or he might still be running.

2288
01:47:17,660 --> 01:47:18,540
 Gain of seven there.

2289
01:47:18,900 --> 01:47:23,520
 That's a pretty good open field tackle coming up from the safety position for Russell.

2290
01:47:23,900 --> 01:47:26,460
 That was Ergel Drake, or he might still be running.

2291
01:47:27,180 --> 01:47:29,300
 Second down and three, 434 to go.

2292
01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:30,640
 Actually, second down forward.

2293
01:47:30,740 --> 01:47:32,380
 Can't get that extra yard holding this side.

2294
01:47:32,500 --> 01:47:37,260
 It was a seven-yard game, but they'll mark him at the 26, in my opinion, that is.

2295
01:47:40,060 --> 01:47:42,860
 To the right of the quarterback, Mahan, is Johnson, the tailback.

2296
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:46,800
 This time, going to leave it off the left side.

2297
01:47:46,900 --> 01:47:48,440
 Looking patient, got a little running room.

2298
01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:52,180
 Got to the 36, on his feet, breaks a tackle to the 35 and down to the 37.

2299
01:47:52,700 --> 01:47:55,780
 Oh, he was just a step away from taking that one down the left sideline.

2300
01:47:56,020 --> 01:47:57,360
 That's enough to move the chains.

2301
01:47:58,100 --> 01:48:00,580
 That was a nice run along the edge there to Carson Johnson,

2302
01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:04,640
 really just turning his legs, using his blocks, and really letting those blocks set.

2303
01:48:04,640 --> 01:48:08,440
 He took a little hesitation move before he cut it upfield,

2304
01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:11,300
 and it was just a great run there by the Falcon.

2305
01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:13,080
 409 and counting in the half.

2306
01:48:13,220 --> 01:48:16,860
 I keep giving the clock because our statistician can't see the clock from where he is.

2307
01:48:16,920 --> 01:48:17,840
 It's such a small room.

2308
01:48:18,340 --> 01:48:19,460
 First and 10 at the 38.

2309
01:48:19,780 --> 01:48:21,580
 Up the middle again, Falcons with a little running room,

2310
01:48:21,620 --> 01:48:22,520
 but not much breaks to tackle.

2311
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:24,360
 Those stays across the 45 to the 47.

2312
01:48:24,740 --> 01:48:26,920
 That was all Falcon running back right there.

2313
01:48:27,460 --> 01:48:30,300
 Again, Johnson bouncing off defenders, gains eight.

2314
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:33,200
 He was hit at the line in scrimmage and would not go down.

2315
01:48:33,580 --> 01:48:36,760
 Yeah, very rarely do these Falcon running backs,

2316
01:48:36,860 --> 01:48:39,120
 do they get, you know, go down on first contact.

2317
01:48:39,220 --> 01:48:42,720
 They really fight through that contact and continue to turn their legs.

2318
01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:44,660
 They wind up picking up some extra yardage.

2319
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:45,420
 That was a big run there.

2320
01:48:45,500 --> 01:48:49,340
 One wide receiver to each side on the second down and two play.

2321
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:51,600
 Mahan going to leave it with Williams.

2322
01:48:51,740 --> 01:48:53,220
 Williams bouncing outside, cutting.

2323
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:54,080
 Stays on his feet.

2324
01:48:54,140 --> 01:48:54,840
 Got across midfield.

2325
01:48:54,920 --> 01:48:58,260
 Got the first down to the Golden Tigers 47-yard line.

2326
01:48:58,520 --> 01:48:59,540
 Marking down at the 45.

2327
01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:03,180
 He just continued to turn and continued to turn.

2328
01:49:03,700 --> 01:49:05,700
 And right now the Falcons doing it running up the middle.

2329
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:08,920
 And to be honest, have you noticed which way Falcons have run the football?

2330
01:49:09,360 --> 01:49:11,760
 Everything across the way towards the Falcon sideline.

2331
01:49:11,880 --> 01:49:12,840
 Just a note on that.

2332
01:49:13,180 --> 01:49:15,420
 There's something to these veteran coaches understand some of that.

2333
01:49:15,540 --> 01:49:16,440
 315 and counting.

2334
01:49:16,820 --> 01:49:18,280
 Ball security is going to be a big thing.

2335
01:49:18,380 --> 01:49:21,800
 They appear to be really attacking the ball as the ball carriers get held up

2336
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:23,900
 and other defenders come in and try to strip it.

2337
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:26,060
 Mahan puts a man in motion to the right.

2338
01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:26,840
 That's Blank.

2339
01:49:28,300 --> 01:49:30,220
 Going to leave it with Williams again off the left side.

2340
01:49:30,300 --> 01:49:31,300
 Got runner in to the 40.

2341
01:49:31,580 --> 01:49:32,180
 Stays on his feet.

2342
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:33,580
 Knocked out of bounds at the 38.

2343
01:49:33,700 --> 01:49:35,100
 Give him about six or seven.

2344
01:49:35,700 --> 01:49:38,180
 And the left side has been good to the Falcons so far.

2345
01:49:38,900 --> 01:49:40,760
 Clock stops with 253 to go.

2346
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:42,860
 Trailing 14-7 here in the first half.

2347
01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:44,320
 Knock on wood.

2348
01:49:44,380 --> 01:49:45,380
 The weather has stayed away.

2349
01:49:45,440 --> 01:49:46,220
 We're glad of that.

2350
01:49:47,460 --> 01:49:48,900
 You just did it, Kevin.

2351
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:49,680
 No, I didn't do it.

2352
01:49:49,780 --> 01:49:51,440
 I mean, I'm just saying right now, I don't think it would come.

2353
01:49:51,440 --> 01:49:52,240
 Thanks for that.

2354
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:53,760
 Blame me all the way.

2355
01:49:53,860 --> 01:49:54,240
 I'll take it.

2356
01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:56,600
 Second down and three.

2357
01:49:56,700 --> 01:49:57,560
 They all hung their heads.

2358
01:49:57,620 --> 01:49:58,400
 I don't believe in that.

2359
01:49:59,360 --> 01:50:00,380
 Second down and three.

2360
01:50:02,920 --> 01:50:03,720
 Pistol formation.

2361
01:50:03,940 --> 01:50:04,880
 Williams right off the middle.

2362
01:50:04,960 --> 01:50:06,480
 Got the first down to the 35-30.

2363
01:50:06,740 --> 01:50:07,760
 Stays on his feet to the 25.

2364
01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:11,240
 Dragging Tigers with him all the way inside to the 24.

2365
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:15,080
 And that's Kayon Williams being Kayon Williams right there.

2366
01:50:15,500 --> 01:50:18,960
 Yeah, that was a great observation by John McDaniel just earlier

2367
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:22,940
 about every single time that there's a guy engaged with the ball carrier.

2368
01:50:23,100 --> 01:50:26,380
 There's a secondary guy coming in and just trying to rip that ball away.

2369
01:50:26,480 --> 01:50:27,740
 They're really looking for that turnover.

2370
01:50:27,920 --> 01:50:31,340
 And this Golden Tiger team plays a lot of different guys two ways.

2371
01:50:31,700 --> 01:50:33,580
 And because of that, that could be depth here.

2372
01:50:33,880 --> 01:50:36,400
 And a whistle and a timeout taken by the Golden Tigers.

2373
01:50:36,940 --> 01:50:39,260
 The Tigers have their tongues hanging out right now.

2374
01:50:39,320 --> 01:50:40,420
 They lead at 14-7.

2375
01:50:40,420 --> 01:50:44,060
 For the Falcons knocking on the door, Florence football back in 30 seconds.

2376
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:45,600
 Two-thirds.

2377
01:50:48,060 --> 01:50:52,400
 Florence Utilities offers several ways to view and pay your utility bill.

2379

2380
01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:03,200

 Or call 256-760-6512 for more information.

2386
01:51:28,820 --> 01:51:31,380
 Two minutes, 30 seconds to go in the first half.

2387
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:34,000
 Florence trails Russell 14-7.

2388
01:51:34,100 --> 01:51:37,980
 But the Falcons have marched down to the Tigers' 25-yard line.

2389
01:51:38,100 --> 01:51:39,080
 Knocking on the door.

2390
01:51:40,260 --> 01:51:41,480
 Behind the running game.

2391
01:51:42,440 --> 01:51:45,060
 And this Golden Tiger team just now getting back out on the field.

2392
01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:49,560
 Mike, maybe it's just me, but it looked like a couple of tired Golden Tigers right now.

2393
01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:51,480
 Let's see if this Falcon team can lean on them a little bit.

2394
01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:53,520
 First and 10 at the 25.

2395
01:51:54,280 --> 01:51:55,460
 Williams still the tailback.

2396
01:51:55,740 --> 01:51:57,860
 Mahan has him to the left in shotgun formation.

2397
01:51:58,420 --> 01:51:59,680
 It's a hot in motion to the right.

2398
01:52:00,100 --> 01:52:01,020
 Going to run it off the right.

2399
01:52:01,100 --> 01:52:01,860
 Cuts back up the middle.

2400
01:52:02,180 --> 01:52:02,540
 Spins.

2401
01:52:02,620 --> 01:52:03,700
 Stays on his feet to the 20.

2402
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:05,200
 Stays on his feet to the 15.

2403
01:52:05,380 --> 01:52:06,520
 All the way down to the 14.

2404
01:52:06,760 --> 01:52:09,560
 Let's get close to moving those chains again, depending on the mark.

2405
01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:11,780
 Jeffrey Jones, you're right there in the end zone.

2406
01:52:11,840 --> 01:52:12,500
 It's pretty close.

2407
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:15,240
 Let's wait and see.

2408
01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:15,480
 Nope.

2409
01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:16,860
 Going to say first down.

2410
01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:17,860
 They will move the chains.

2411
01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:20,040
 At the 16, 15-yard line.

2412
01:52:20,860 --> 01:52:22,000
 217 and counting.

2413
01:52:25,020 --> 01:52:26,940
 Now two wide receivers will swap.

2414
01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:28,200
 Haddock will go left.

2415
01:52:28,900 --> 01:52:29,900
 Elliott will go right.

2416
01:52:30,480 --> 01:52:33,580
 Williams, pistol formation right behind the quarterback in shotgun formation.

2417
01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:36,160
 Golden Tigers, four or five men front.

2418
01:52:36,680 --> 01:52:38,060
 Williams off the left, up the middle.

2419
01:52:38,240 --> 01:52:38,980
 Spins on his feet.

2420
01:52:39,500 --> 01:52:40,000
 Bulls far.

2421
01:52:40,080 --> 01:52:42,220
 It gets about three or four to the 11-yard line.

2422
01:52:42,620 --> 01:52:44,620
 Under two minutes to go in the half.

2423
01:52:45,260 --> 01:52:48,320
 Russell has already used one timeout, maybe two, I think.

2424
01:52:48,400 --> 01:52:48,800
 Yeah, that's right.

2425
01:52:48,820 --> 01:52:51,220
 Our statistician, John McDaniel, tells us, too.

2426
01:52:51,560 --> 01:52:53,860
 Mike Albertson, don't go away from this run game right now.

2427
01:52:54,320 --> 01:52:58,280
 No, until they can prove that they can stop you, you continue to run it right down their throat.

2428
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:03,300
 I mean, it's really, if you're gaining four and five yards per carry, there's no reason to change.

2429
01:53:03,740 --> 01:53:06,020
 So the right of the quarterback is Williams.

2430
01:53:06,300 --> 01:53:11,700
 He goes to the left, looking nowhere to go, cuts back, stays on his feet, got to the five, drags a man forward and down to the three.

2431
01:53:11,780 --> 01:53:12,920
 Inside the three, there's a two.

2432
01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:14,100
 Move the chains again.

2433
01:53:14,220 --> 01:53:16,580
 First and goal for Florence at the 124 mark.

2434
01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:19,520
 Kevin, he just hid behind his offensive line on that play.

2435
01:53:19,740 --> 01:53:24,420
 He was right behind him, and a couple of defenders went past him and never saw him.

2436
01:53:24,620 --> 01:53:28,040
 And across the way, the Falcon fans and students, the nest on their feet.

2437
01:53:28,480 --> 01:53:30,000
 Let's put this one in, Falcons.

2438
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:33,440
 Down 14-7 with 114 to go.

2439
01:53:33,540 --> 01:53:36,420
 And Kenny Morrison, careful with his offense in time right now.

2440
01:53:36,860 --> 01:53:37,980
 Fistil formation again.

2441
01:53:39,020 --> 01:53:41,060
 Man in motion to the inside, now to the right.

2442
01:53:41,920 --> 01:53:43,060
 Again, it's going to be Williams.

2443
01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:46,460
 Off the middle, pushing forward, close to the goal line, depending on what they say.

2444
01:53:46,520 --> 01:53:47,940
 He's going to mark him at the one-foot line.

2445
01:53:48,720 --> 01:53:49,320
 That's okay.

2446
01:53:49,400 --> 01:53:53,340
 The clock will continue to run under a minute to go, and you've still got timeouts in your back pocket.

2447
01:53:54,860 --> 01:53:59,700
 Perfect execution of the clock in the latter part of this second quarter.

2448
01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:04,760
 And as the Falcons continue to move on, I mean, we're under 45 seconds now.

2449
01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:07,220
 This is exactly what you wanted to do running into the half.

2450
01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:08,920
 Second down and goal at the one.

2451
01:54:09,020 --> 01:54:10,620
 I think it's Williams' time one more time.

2452
01:54:10,700 --> 01:54:11,160
 Let's see.

2453
01:54:12,840 --> 01:54:14,720
 Mahan in pistol formation with him behind him.

2454
01:54:14,760 --> 01:54:16,420
 Going to leave it with him again up the middle.

2455
01:54:16,660 --> 01:54:17,980
 He will dive into the end zone.

2456
01:54:18,300 --> 01:54:19,380
 Give him six.

2457
01:54:19,860 --> 01:54:20,660
 Touchdown, Florence.

2458
01:54:20,980 --> 01:54:24,660
 Kayon Williams, the sophomore, does it again.

2459
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:30,120
 What a great job there by the Falcons just being able to impose their will on this Russellville defense,

2460
01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:35,660
 be able to run that clock all the way down to 29 seconds left in this half.

2461
01:54:36,240 --> 01:54:42,840
 It was a really integral drive in this game so far to tie this one up.

2462
01:54:43,020 --> 01:54:45,200
 80-yard drive and all on the ground.

2463
01:54:45,360 --> 01:54:45,840
 Good snap.

2464
01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:46,280
 Good hold.

2465
01:54:46,380 --> 01:54:47,260
 Get that kick up.

2466
01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:48,500
 Get that kick through.

2467
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:49,780
 And it is true.

2468
01:54:49,780 --> 01:54:51,600
 And Florence ties it at 14.

2469
01:54:51,880 --> 01:54:54,860
 29 seconds is going to have Falcon football back in 30.

2470
01:54:57,160 --> 01:54:58,860
 Craving authentic Mexican flavor?

2471
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:04,940
 Dive into delicious at Hugo's Mexican Restaurant, 4160 Florence Boulevard, at the entrance to Kendall Garden.

2472
01:55:06,440 --> 01:55:09,560
 Start off with fresh tortilla chips and Hugo's famous cheese dip.

2473
01:55:09,780 --> 01:55:15,260
 Then enjoy mouth-watering tacos, enchiladas, and of course, Hugo's famous fajitas and more, all in a vibrant atmosphere.

2474
01:55:15,880 --> 01:55:20,780
 We're open Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday until 9 p.m. and until 9.30 on Friday and Saturday.

2475
01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:23,880
 Hugo's Mexican Restaurant, where every meal is a fiesta.

2476
01:55:24,100 --> 01:55:28,080
 See you soon at 4160 Florence Boulevard, at the entrance to Kendall Gardens.

2477
01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:37,520
 Back at the Golden Tigers Stadium, where the Falcons tie up the Golden Tigers 14-14 late in the first half.

2478
01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:39,160
 That last drive, John McDaniel.

2479
01:55:39,340 --> 01:55:46,260
 11 plays, 80 yards, 4 minutes 22, came off the clock and just finished off with a one-yard touchdown run.

2480
01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:50,620
 Ground and pound for the Falcons right there, and give that O-line a lot of credit.

2481
01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:52,340
 They were coming up to eat.

2482
01:55:52,340 --> 01:55:54,360
 They thought it was lost pizza across from them.

2483
01:55:54,440 --> 01:55:55,380
 They were putting it away.

2484
01:55:56,420 --> 01:55:57,700
 Greenhall to boot it deep.

2485
01:55:58,340 --> 01:56:05,180
 That one's going to be taken into the end zone, and that's a touchback, and that's a big touchback, and a good job there by Greenhall to put it all the way back.

2486
01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:11,520
 So it'll be first and 10 for the Golden Tigers at the 29, 80 yards away.

2487
01:56:11,920 --> 01:56:17,200
 Don't forget, at the half, we'll have the athletic director of Florence High School, Coach Myra Miles, with us.

2488
01:56:17,540 --> 01:56:20,600
 Also, we'll later on have a Falcon moment as well, so looking forward to this.

2489
01:56:20,600 --> 01:56:26,980
 It'll be a big halftime show here, and the big blue band will entertain the crowd here as well with a Russell March in 100.

2490
01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:32,980
 KJ, do you think that they come out and take a shot to try to jump the momentum back since we get the ball?

2491
01:56:33,140 --> 01:56:38,640
 I think he will take a shot, maybe at something, but we'll see.

2492
01:56:38,820 --> 01:56:44,600
 Looking at it right now, I don't see his speedsters out there, so I'm going to say no.

2493
01:56:45,100 --> 01:56:52,080
 I think his shot might be with that tailback number six, Taurus Davis, but I don't think he's going to take a shot down the field.

2494
01:56:54,340 --> 01:56:58,180
 Wing T formation, two backs offset, and they're going to run it with Davis off the right side.

2495
01:56:58,240 --> 01:57:01,500
 He's got way too much room coming around to the 25, 30, and he's loose, 40.

2496
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:05,260
 It's going to be a foot race to the 50, down to the 40, and knocked out about at the 37.

2497
01:57:06,140 --> 01:57:14,060
 Well, unfortunately, I called it, but the Falcons didn't know it, and that's going to bow and put the Golden Tigers in position

2498
01:57:14,060 --> 01:57:17,240
 with 20 seconds to go down at the 36-yard line.

2499
01:57:17,240 --> 01:57:22,220
 Oh, you could see a hole on the right side and left side, and it was big time.

2500
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:23,840
 You could drive a Buick through that thing.

2501
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:29,440
 That was a huge hole, and he just had a lot of green space and took advantage, and, you know, it became a foot race,

2502
01:57:29,500 --> 01:57:32,780
 and luckily, Otis Sistrunk was able to run him down and close him down and get him out of bounds.

2503
01:57:32,920 --> 01:57:36,860
 Now the Golden Tigers, with one timeout, they're going to bring their speedster in.

2504
01:57:37,380 --> 01:57:42,140
 Darren Jones, again, the play clock has stopped working, so they can sort of take their time,

2505
01:57:42,200 --> 01:57:46,000
 and a timeout taken by Kenny Morrison and the Florence Falcons will do the same.

2506
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:47,780
 Hold on, Falcons fans, buckle up.

2507
01:57:48,040 --> 01:57:48,980
 20 seconds to go.

2508
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:49,960
 This is Falcon Football.

2509
01:57:50,120 --> 01:57:50,840
 We're back in 30.

2510
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:57,960
 Thanks for choosing Whataburger.

2511
01:57:58,160 --> 01:57:59,320
 What can I get started for you?

2512
01:57:59,780 --> 01:58:04,580
 At Whataburger, each meal is made to order, so you can always get exactly what you crave.

2513
01:58:04,900 --> 01:58:07,280
 If that's a Whataburger What-A-Meal, you got it.

2514
01:58:07,800 --> 01:58:13,280
 But if you're in the mood for something a little more you, like a Whataburger with grilled onions,

2515
01:58:13,280 --> 01:58:16,360
 crispy bacon, and creamy pepper sauce, go for it.

2516
01:58:16,800 --> 01:58:18,540
 March to the beat of your own drum.

2517
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:21,740
 Bite into the beef of your own Whataburger creation.

2518
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:25,040
 Whataburger, just like you like it.

2519
01:58:26,040 --> 01:58:27,900
 1554 Florence Boulevard.

2520
01:58:28,260 --> 01:58:30,440
 The voice of the Florence High School Falcons.

2521
01:58:31,040 --> 01:58:32,600
 W-Y-T-K-F-M.

2522
01:58:33,180 --> 01:58:33,580
 Rogersville.

2523
01:58:33,700 --> 01:58:34,080
 Athens.

2524
01:58:34,180 --> 01:58:34,660
 Decatur.

2525
01:58:34,820 --> 01:58:35,640
 The Shoals.

2526
01:58:35,900 --> 01:58:37,000
 93-9.

2527
01:58:37,300 --> 01:58:38,180
 The score.

2528
01:58:42,180 --> 01:58:43,260
 Florence and Rushville.

2529
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:45,580
 It's not a defensive struggle.

2530
01:58:45,680 --> 01:58:46,980
 It's up and down the field right now.

2531
01:58:47,100 --> 01:58:47,920
 Tied at 14.

2532
01:58:48,080 --> 01:58:52,300
 The Golden Tigers had to go 80 yards with 27 seconds to go.

2533
01:58:52,400 --> 01:58:54,580
 And they went about 50 of those in one play.

2534
01:58:54,680 --> 01:58:55,980
 They're at the 36th of Florence.

2535
01:58:56,600 --> 01:58:58,140
 One timeout left for the Golden Tigers.

2536
01:58:58,260 --> 01:58:58,900
 Two for Florence.

2537
01:58:59,060 --> 01:58:59,940
 Cleveland under center.

2538
01:59:00,060 --> 01:59:00,980
 Ball on the left hash.

2539
01:59:01,300 --> 01:59:02,220
 Two backs in the backfield.

2540
01:59:02,300 --> 01:59:02,800
 Wants to pass.

2541
01:59:02,860 --> 01:59:03,640
 No, he's going to leave with Davis.

2542
01:59:03,720 --> 01:59:04,140
 Excuse me.

2543
01:59:04,380 --> 01:59:05,040
 Off the side.

2544
01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:05,780
 Starts to stay.

2545
01:59:05,860 --> 01:59:06,340
 He's going to hit.

2546
01:59:06,600 --> 01:59:07,560
 And he stayed in bounds.

2547
01:59:07,640 --> 01:59:08,280
 If they'll do right.

2548
01:59:08,580 --> 01:59:09,740
 No, they're going to give him out of bounds.

2549
01:59:09,820 --> 01:59:11,380
 They'll give him a gain of about two or three.

2550
01:59:11,880 --> 01:59:14,800
 And they'll mark him out with, what, 14 seconds to go.

2551
01:59:14,860 --> 01:59:16,360
 I thought the Falcons kept him in.

2552
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:17,740
 Did their best.

2553
01:59:17,880 --> 01:59:19,420
 Did Jaden Irons and friends.

2554
01:59:19,500 --> 01:59:20,660
 But they're going to give him out of bounds.

2555
01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:22,380
 Second down and six at the 32.

2556
01:59:23,260 --> 01:59:24,360
 Garcia, the kicker.

2557
01:59:24,880 --> 01:59:25,980
 Decent high school kicker.

2558
01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:26,960
 I saw him in warm-ups.

2559
01:59:27,660 --> 01:59:28,960
 So we'll keep an eye on that.

2560
01:59:28,960 --> 01:59:31,740
 I don't think he has attempted a field goal this year.

2561
01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:33,040
 But I'd have to go back and check.

2562
01:59:33,980 --> 01:59:34,920
 Into the game, though.

2563
01:59:34,980 --> 01:59:36,260
 The speech for Darren Jones.

2564
01:59:36,360 --> 01:59:37,340
 You always have to know where he is.

2565
01:59:37,400 --> 01:59:39,900
 And remember, they also have in there their tight end.

2566
01:59:40,220 --> 01:59:40,980
 Caleb Hawkins.

2567
01:59:41,880 --> 01:59:45,140
 I would think they'd take a shot to the end zone here.

2568
01:59:45,140 --> 01:59:46,680
 They've been running it into the boundary.

2569
01:59:46,900 --> 01:59:48,140
 That would be a good place.

2570
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:49,260
 Second down and six.

2571
01:59:49,680 --> 01:59:51,240
 Cleveland rolling right, wanting to throw.

2572
01:59:51,340 --> 01:59:52,840
 Play action, wants to go throw.

2573
01:59:52,900 --> 01:59:53,560
 And now he's in trouble.

2574
01:59:53,640 --> 01:59:54,500
 He's going to be sacked.

2575
01:59:54,660 --> 01:59:56,020
 Brought down back at the 43.

2576
01:59:56,760 --> 01:59:57,700
 Get you a minute.

2577
02:00:09,700 --> 02:00:12,560
 They're begging for another second to put on the clock.

2578
02:00:12,820 --> 02:00:15,580
 Face mask is what Coach Higgins is begging for.

2579
02:00:15,580 --> 02:00:17,740
 But they say the official raises the football.

2580
02:00:17,960 --> 02:00:19,080
 He said, that's the end of the half.

2581
02:00:19,340 --> 02:00:23,620
 And I don't think Coach Higgins is going to get this big 10 officiating crew to put another second on there.

2582
02:00:23,780 --> 02:00:24,700
 So we'll see.

2583
02:00:25,260 --> 02:00:26,900
 Do we have an official, unofficial?

2584
02:00:27,080 --> 02:00:29,880
 The Falcons are already into the locker room.

2585
02:00:30,200 --> 02:00:31,960
 Coach Higgins is begging and pleading.

2586
02:00:32,380 --> 02:00:34,060
 But they said, bring on the bands.

2587
02:00:34,540 --> 02:00:36,240
 Bring out the halftime entertainment.

2588
02:00:37,380 --> 02:00:43,920
 I'm not so sure that this is one of those opportunities for Coach Higgins to get his team and this crowd fired up going into the half.

2589
02:00:43,980 --> 02:00:45,540
 And you see him running off the field now.

2590
02:00:45,920 --> 02:00:47,840
 That's an old veteran coach move right there.

2591
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:50,220
 That's not him begging for another second.

2592
02:00:50,340 --> 02:00:53,020
 That's him getting the crowd and all the energy on his side.

2593
02:00:53,140 --> 02:00:55,600
 We've got a good one at Golden Tigers Stadium.

2594
02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:56,480
 Tied at 14.

2595
02:00:56,860 --> 02:00:57,760
 This is Falcon Football.

2596
02:00:57,980 --> 02:00:58,980
 We're back in two minutes.

2597
02:01:02,340 --> 02:01:06,280
 This is Miranda Haddock with the Florence Education Foundation.

2598
02:01:06,760 --> 02:01:14,600
 We would like to extend an invitation to our ninth annual Salsa Showdown on Saturday, October 3rd from 2 to 5 p.m. at Singing River Brewery.

2599

 Restaurants and individuals from around the shows will compete to see who has the best salsa and queso.

2600
02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:21,560
 Enjoy live music and a fun-filled day.

2610
02:02:19,780 --> 02:02:21,760
 We've been in the Shoals since 1979.

2611
02:02:22,120 --> 02:02:22,840
 We live here.

2612
02:02:23,020 --> 02:02:23,980
 We go to school here.

2613
02:02:24,080 --> 02:02:28,380
 Do you want to do business with someone local or a company from Rhode Island, Illinois, or Arkansas?

2614
02:02:28,620 --> 02:02:31,220
 The large chains just don't reinvest in our community.

2615
02:02:31,380 --> 02:02:33,520
 The large chains don't sponsor Little League teams.

2616
02:02:33,660 --> 02:02:35,740
 And they certainly don't sponsor Falcon football.

2617
02:02:35,940 --> 02:02:39,160
 And don't just buy from Village Drugs, but support all our local businesses.

2618
02:02:39,160 --> 02:02:44,340
 Let these local businesses give you the service you deserve while keeping your local economy strong.

2619
02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:49,820
 So make the switch to Village Drugs, a local pharmacy, where we are the Shoals' problem solvers and people pleasers.

2620
02:02:50,260 --> 02:02:53,960

2622
02:03:01,960 --> 02:03:05,600
 Irons Electric Company was voted the number one electrical contractor in 2023.

2623

 Lawrence County leading Spring Hill 7-6.

2644
02:04:15,460 --> 02:04:22,040
 The Braves are trailing the Phillies 3-1, Mizzou and Kansas tied at zero in college football.

2645
02:04:22,160 --> 02:04:23,820
 Louisville leading Villanova 31-10.

2646
02:04:24,220 --> 02:04:26,500
 Now back to the stadium for the halftime show.

2647
02:04:27,280 --> 02:04:30,580
 Thank you, James Moody, the best studio host in the state of Alabama.

2648
02:04:30,740 --> 02:04:32,580
 Appreciate him in the 93.9 Discord studios.

2649
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:37,840
 We're at the half here on the TNT Fireworks Halftime Show, where Florence and Russell tied at seven.

2650
02:04:37,980 --> 02:04:38,940
 Kevin Johnson with you.

2651
02:04:39,020 --> 02:04:44,900
 Now we're joined by the athletic director of Florence High School, the new athletic director, I should say, Coach Myer Miles.

2652
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:47,480
 And, Coach, get your heart medicine for this one, right?

2653
02:04:47,560 --> 02:04:51,660
 Listen, I've been a nervous wreck all week and really all day, so yes.

2654
02:04:51,880 --> 02:04:53,640
 It's going to be a big-time game.

2655
02:04:53,920 --> 02:04:56,100
 You've been a coach for many years in different sports.

2656
02:04:56,520 --> 02:04:59,460
 At halftimes, especially like in basketball, which you coached.

2657
02:04:59,860 --> 02:05:04,720
 Is there different approaches to teams depending on the score and the situation, how you approach the team at halftime?

2658
02:05:05,100 --> 02:05:05,440
 Oh, yeah.

2659
02:05:05,440 --> 02:05:10,860
 I mean, the first thing you do is you get with your staff and you try to figure out, you know, what are we doing, you know, messing up on?

2660
02:05:10,940 --> 02:05:11,880
 What are we doing really good?

2661
02:05:12,300 --> 02:05:19,240
 Then you have to make the adjustments, break out, and then go meet with specific, you know, kids in basketball, but specifically in football.

2662
02:05:19,440 --> 02:05:22,280
 I imagine that, well, I know in football we do the same thing here.

2663
02:05:22,340 --> 02:05:24,780
 We talk about it and then we go and meet with each position.

2664
02:05:25,020 --> 02:05:29,540
 So, you know, our coaches, I hope we're, you know, making a few adjustments as we need to do.

2665
02:05:29,920 --> 02:05:34,440
 But then we need to just keep our mind on what we're here to do, and that's to win this game.

2666
02:05:35,440 --> 02:05:41,300
 There's sports that are going on right now in Florence High School, including flag football, first season for across the board.

2667
02:05:41,300 --> 02:05:41,540
 How about that?

2668
02:05:41,740 --> 02:05:45,040
 And you look up and your Florence Falcons are ranked number one in the state.

2669
02:05:45,140 --> 02:05:45,620
 What an honor.

2670
02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:52,600
 Listen, and I can't say enough about those kids and Coach Elliott and Coach Buckhalter, Jasmine Buckhalter, and then Coach Grant.

2671
02:05:52,600 --> 02:06:00,300
 They, you know, I watched the days they practiced, and I thought, oh, my gosh, we're going to get absolutely killed every game.

2672
02:06:00,780 --> 02:06:07,320
 And, boy, did they make me a believer quickly because we're so athletic, and that's what I didn't realize at that point.

2673
02:06:07,660 --> 02:06:15,540
 I didn't know these kids, but we're so athletic, and the coaches have just molded them in so many ways other than just the X and O component.

2674
02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:19,520
 They are just doing a fantastic job and super proud of that.

2675
02:06:19,620 --> 02:06:23,560
 I mean, you know, number one in 5A is a big deal, especially for a first-year program.

2676
02:06:23,880 --> 02:06:24,220
 Incredible.

2677
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:25,840
 And then you turn your cross-country team.

2678
02:06:26,220 --> 02:06:30,420
 How about number one in boys and number three in girls and big meet tomorrow down in Moulton?

2679
02:06:30,620 --> 02:06:31,040
 Oh, yeah.

2680
02:06:31,040 --> 02:06:36,720
 And, listen, that staff, when you talk about a staff now, Coach Schaefer and Coach, and Doc, we call them Doc.

2681
02:06:36,720 --> 02:06:37,920
 Coach Doc's what I call them.

2682
02:06:38,340 --> 02:06:44,460
 And I know they're coming up on an interview with you in a little bit, but, you know, what they have done, and those kids, and I've always said,

2683
02:06:44,760 --> 02:06:51,300
 if you want to see what, if you want your kid, your athlete, anybody to see what it means to exert every ounce of energy in you,

2684
02:06:51,380 --> 02:06:55,380
 go and stand at the finish line of a cross-country meet because those kids come across there,

2685
02:06:55,380 --> 02:06:59,540
 and number one, they're about to pass out and fall out, or they're absolutely throwing up.

2686
02:06:59,760 --> 02:07:05,620
 I mean, it's, those kids are phenomenal, and what they are doing this year is, it's just outstanding,

2687
02:07:05,740 --> 02:07:07,420
 just super proud of everything they're doing.

2688
02:07:07,720 --> 02:07:11,720
 Speaking with the athletic director of Florence High School, Coach Myler-Miles, and, Coach,

2689
02:07:12,080 --> 02:07:15,260
 all sports are important because you've got so many athletes involved.

2690
02:07:15,560 --> 02:07:20,240
 Isn't it great to see the young people in Florence High School from 7th grade up to 12th grade

2691
02:07:20,240 --> 02:07:24,300
 attempting different sports, from swim team to anything else that you can imagine?

2692
02:07:24,580 --> 02:07:26,060
 It's really good for the school.

2693
02:07:26,060 --> 02:07:31,080
 Well, you know, the great thing is, is we really preach multi-sports, and, you know,

2694
02:07:31,120 --> 02:07:37,220
 there's no reason why every child can't play multi-sports because until they get to that junior year maybe,

2695
02:07:37,280 --> 02:07:41,520
 and if they really are very blessed in something, then I can see maybe specializing in something.

2696
02:07:41,900 --> 02:07:45,920
 But what our coaches are doing this year across the board is just phenomenal.

2697
02:07:46,160 --> 02:07:50,300
 And, you know, last night at volleyball, oh, my Lord, the game, how that, we were down,

2698
02:07:51,200 --> 02:07:56,060
 we were on the fourth game of the match, 28-26, we were down six points in the deciding game,

2699
02:07:56,120 --> 02:07:58,260
 came back and won 15-13 against Russellville.

2700
02:07:58,820 --> 02:08:01,740
 And with those kids, listen, they've got a chance to be very special.

2701
02:08:01,940 --> 02:08:02,020
 They do.

2702
02:08:02,040 --> 02:08:05,780
 I'm just telling you, they, and they're not, they're not even near where they're going to be at the end of the year.

2703
02:08:05,900 --> 02:08:11,000
 So, but across the board, it's just, we do want our kids, we want kids to be involved in more than one sport,

2704
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:15,900
 and our coaches are just doing a phenomenal job supporting each other on that, too.

2705
02:08:16,160 --> 02:08:18,180
 How important is it to connect with the community?

2706
02:08:18,320 --> 02:08:23,580
 You look across the way, we're on the home side, it's just a sea of Florence people here tonight on the road.

2707
02:08:23,940 --> 02:08:28,860
 But how do you continue to connect with people to say, hey, the city of Florence needs to get behind all Florence athletics?

2708
02:08:28,980 --> 02:08:29,360
 Absolutely.

2709
02:08:29,680 --> 02:08:36,880
 And, you know, and where I myself, I'll start everything with me is we have to do a really good job of reaching out in the community

2710
02:08:36,880 --> 02:08:40,220
 and get out and really, my whole thing, you've heard me say this before,

2711
02:08:40,600 --> 02:08:44,800
 it is important to me to get our alumni bases from Bradshaw and Coffey back involved,

2712
02:08:44,900 --> 02:08:47,380
 and I'm very excited about next week being homecoming.

2713
02:08:47,500 --> 02:08:50,500
 I've been getting calls from Coffey and Bradshaw graduates, and they're looking forward,

2714
02:08:50,580 --> 02:08:53,100
 they're doing big tailgates, and that's huge.

2715
02:08:53,180 --> 02:08:57,300
 Our community, our mayor, city council, you know, superintendent, board,

2716
02:08:57,400 --> 02:09:01,140
 everybody right now is clicking in the same way, so it's, you know,

2717
02:09:01,220 --> 02:09:05,200
 we've got to keep pushing to make Florence the best that it can be.

2718
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:09,340
 So I'm just really blessed to be in this position, but our fan base,

2719
02:09:09,480 --> 02:09:13,560
 you cannot say enough about them and what they're doing right now for us.

2720
02:09:13,680 --> 02:09:15,100
 Been doing this for 23 years.

2721
02:09:15,220 --> 02:09:17,220
 I'm telling you, I hadn't seen it like this in a long time.

2722
02:09:17,520 --> 02:09:18,400
 It's impressive to see.

2723
02:09:18,500 --> 02:09:21,180
 It helps when the teams are winning, obviously, but they're doing a good job,

2724
02:09:21,240 --> 02:09:22,320
 and it's good to see these fans out here.

2725
02:09:22,720 --> 02:09:26,400
 Coach, second half, go down here and cheer them on, and thank you for being our guest today, okay?

2726
02:09:26,740 --> 02:09:27,800
 Absolutely, thank you for having me.

2727
02:09:27,860 --> 02:09:29,080
 Appreciate y'all, what y'all do.

2728
02:09:29,160 --> 02:09:29,780
 Y'all are phenomenal.

2729
02:09:29,940 --> 02:09:30,320
 Thank you.

2730
02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:33,800
 The athletic director of Florence High School, Coach Meyer Miles, a Hall of Famer.

2731
02:09:33,880 --> 02:09:35,340
 Glad to have her here at the half.

2732
02:09:35,440 --> 02:09:38,880
 The TNT Fireworks Halftime Show continues after this one-minute timeout.

2733
02:09:38,880 --> 02:09:42,200
 Getting the kids to practice on time.

2734
02:09:42,620 --> 02:09:44,420
 Remembering if it's your day to bring snacks.

2735
02:09:44,900 --> 02:09:46,680
 Making it to the game with a clean jersey.

2736
02:09:47,180 --> 02:09:49,540
 Why are simple things sometimes so complicated?

2737
02:09:50,020 --> 02:09:52,800
 Thankfully, with auto owners, insurance doesn't have to be one of them.

2738
02:09:53,160 --> 02:09:56,100
 Auto owners works with independent agents who answer when you call,

2739
02:09:56,340 --> 02:09:58,160
 so you can worry about more important things,

2740
02:09:58,520 --> 02:10:01,300
 like whether your kid is going to run toward first or third base.

2741
02:10:01,840 --> 02:10:03,140
 That's simple human sense.

2742
02:10:03,140 --> 02:10:06,800
 In Florence, call Tyson Johnson, Luke Brown, Kirby Allen, Victoria Devaney,

2743
02:10:06,940 --> 02:10:10,060
 Brant Bishop, or Daniel Box with Hineker Johnson and Layton Insurance Agency.

2744
02:10:10,420 --> 02:10:12,880
 256-764-8682.

2745
02:10:13,400 --> 02:10:16,600
 Carbine Construction is honored to be a part of building projects

2746
02:10:16,600 --> 02:10:18,360
 with the Florence City School System.

2747
02:10:18,880 --> 02:10:23,060
 We're also glad to cheer on the Falcons as they celebrate milestone achievements as well.

2748
02:10:23,420 --> 02:10:26,780
 Good luck to head coach Kenny Morrison and the Florence Falcons football team

2749
02:10:26,780 --> 02:10:28,700
 on building a special season to remember,

2750
02:10:28,700 --> 02:10:32,100
 as Carbine Construction wishes you the very best this season.

2751
02:10:32,680 --> 02:10:37,000
 Remember, at Carbine Construction, we build trust, we build relationships,

2752
02:10:37,580 --> 02:10:39,680
 and like the Florence Falcons football team,

2753
02:10:39,960 --> 02:10:42,540
 at Carbine Construction, we continue to build.

2754
02:10:43,960 --> 02:10:46,540
 Welcome to a Falcon Moment with Kevin Johnson, your host,

2755
02:10:46,620 --> 02:10:49,440
 and joined now by the cross-country coaches of Florence High School,

2756
02:10:49,900 --> 02:10:53,160
 Coach Lisa Schaefer and Coach Doc, as they call him, Paul Vaughn Herman.

2757
02:10:53,240 --> 02:10:53,920
 How are you doing, coaches?

2758
02:10:54,300 --> 02:10:54,660
 We're good.

2759
02:10:54,860 --> 02:10:55,220
 Great.

2760
02:10:55,380 --> 02:10:55,940
 Glad to be here.

2761
02:10:55,940 --> 02:10:58,000
 It's in the midst of the season for cross-country.

2762
02:10:58,160 --> 02:11:03,060
 Y'all, no pun intended, hit it running, I'm sure, with so many players and so many athletes.

2763
02:11:03,520 --> 02:11:07,540
 But tell us, last week you had a big meet that you went to Georgia, Coach.

2764
02:11:07,580 --> 02:11:08,180
 It was a big deal.

2765
02:11:09,380 --> 02:11:14,320
 Yeah, we went to AT&T Stars Mill Invitational, which was in Fayetteville, Georgia,

2766
02:11:14,560 --> 02:11:20,840
 and we took six teams, or six, we competed in six races, and we won four of the six races.

2767
02:11:21,120 --> 02:11:21,380
 Wow.

2768
02:11:21,840 --> 02:11:25,240
 Wow, 31 teams, four of the six races you win.

2769
02:11:25,360 --> 02:11:27,060
 You've come out with a lot of hardware.

2770
02:11:27,800 --> 02:11:29,360
 You had to come back thinking pretty good about your team.

2771
02:11:29,740 --> 02:11:30,260
 Oh, absolutely.

2772
02:11:30,460 --> 02:11:32,740
 We were very excited about our team this year.

2773
02:11:32,880 --> 02:11:33,680
 That's really exciting.

2774
02:11:34,020 --> 02:11:39,440
 Coach Schaefer, as we talk about it, too, obviously with your girls, you deal with them a lot and work with them.

2775
02:11:39,840 --> 02:11:43,380
 This past summer, you got to be a part of the North-South All-Star Weekend.

2776
02:11:43,420 --> 02:11:44,060
 That's a big deal.

2777
02:11:44,340 --> 02:11:46,080
 And to take one of your athletes with you as well.

2778
02:11:46,180 --> 02:11:46,540
 I did.

2779
02:11:46,620 --> 02:11:48,020
 That was very exciting for me.

2780
02:11:48,100 --> 02:11:56,000
 I never expected to be invited to have that honor, but it truly was an honor to represent our school at the All-Star Race.

2781
02:11:56,000 --> 02:12:00,340
 Do you think that says a lot about the recognition of this program statewide now?

2782
02:12:00,680 --> 02:12:01,040
 I do.

2783
02:12:01,340 --> 02:12:01,700
 I do.

2784
02:12:02,340 --> 02:12:06,940
 We have had, for a while, we've been growing the program.

2785
02:12:07,300 --> 02:12:13,860
 For the past several years, we've seen it, you know, almost double in the past three or four years.

2786
02:12:14,320 --> 02:12:19,480
 And it's been really exciting to develop these young athletes and watch them grow and flourish.

2787
02:12:19,680 --> 02:12:25,600
 And one of those was our own Logan Kilpatrick, who was also representing the North All-Star Team.

2788
02:12:26,020 --> 02:12:28,000
 And he did a fantastic job.

2789
02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:33,900
 I love to tell Logan's story because he came to us in his sophomore year, right?

2790
02:12:34,020 --> 02:12:37,900
 And he got injured before we ever started the season.

2791
02:12:38,860 --> 02:12:41,500
 A non-running-related event.

2792
02:12:41,940 --> 02:12:43,020
 Yeah, jumping at Sky Zone.

2793
02:12:43,540 --> 02:12:47,020
 He injured his leg and broke his ankle or something like that.

2794
02:12:47,120 --> 02:12:52,940
 And he didn't even race until the end of that season and did okay.

2795
02:12:53,200 --> 02:12:58,180
 That's kind of a mediocre performance in cross-country, but came back in track and trained all the summer.

2796
02:12:58,800 --> 02:13:04,980
 And then the next year, he has an All-Star-worthy season and was selected as an All-Star.

2797
02:13:05,120 --> 02:13:08,180
 He was our number two guy on the guys' team.

2798
02:13:08,420 --> 02:13:12,040
 Tremendous story as I speak with Coach Lisa Schaefer and Coach Paul Von Herman.

2799
02:13:12,540 --> 02:13:15,140
 Coach Paul Von Herman, I ask you real quick about this team.

2800
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:17,320
 The ceiling is really high for this team.

2801
02:13:17,380 --> 02:13:18,580
 Do you feel good about what's coming up?

2802
02:13:18,600 --> 02:13:20,080
 And what are some of the meets coming up for you?

2803
02:13:20,760 --> 02:13:21,300
 Yeah, we do.

2804
02:13:21,740 --> 02:13:28,220
 One of the goals, particularly that our guys had, was they wanted to straight up win at least half their meets this year.

2805
02:13:28,720 --> 02:13:34,200
 So this weekend, we have Chickasaw Trails Invitational, which is one of the most competitive races in Alabama for the season.

2806
02:13:35,040 --> 02:13:36,840
 Five or 6,000 athletes there.

2807
02:13:38,180 --> 02:13:45,820
 The following, two weeks later, we compete at PR Ville, or Twilight at PR Ville, which is at John Hunt Park.

2808
02:13:46,300 --> 02:13:51,400
 There have been teams from New York, Texas, Oregon that come to that.

2809
02:13:51,900 --> 02:13:56,220
 And then the week after that, we're going to the Frank Horton Night Classic in Memphis.

2810
02:13:56,580 --> 02:14:00,320
 And we'll raise some of the best teams in Mississippi and Arkansas, as well as Tennessee there.

2811
02:14:00,620 --> 02:14:09,620
 Impressive that Florence High School, not amongst just the best in the state, the best in the nation, with cross-country, highly ranked, highly sought for this great cross-country team.

2812
02:14:09,780 --> 02:14:12,500
 And, coaches, I know one of the things is you've got a lot of athletes.

2813
02:14:12,760 --> 02:14:14,060
 How many athletes do you have out right now?

2814
02:14:14,060 --> 02:14:16,640
 We currently have 85 team members right now.

2815
02:14:16,680 --> 02:14:25,080
 We started out with a little over 100, but as we trained all summer, some of them decided that maybe cross-country wasn't for them.

2816
02:14:25,080 --> 02:14:28,940
 Some had some health issues and were not able to continue.

2817
02:14:29,080 --> 02:14:36,260
 But we've had 85 athletes, 86, I think 86 athletes, continue on the team and only four coaches.

2818
02:14:36,400 --> 02:14:37,460
 That's a lot to manage.

2819
02:14:37,660 --> 02:14:47,160
 So, we are keeping our eyes and ears open for people who love running, who are passionate about running, who love kids and might want to jump in with us.

2820
02:14:47,840 --> 02:14:52,340
 It's been an exciting journey, and we're just going to continue going up.

2821
02:14:52,560 --> 02:14:53,420
 Well said right there.

2822
02:14:53,420 --> 02:14:59,200
 Your last question I'll ask you this, Coach, is how important is it for young men and young women to be involved in cross-country?

2823
02:14:59,260 --> 02:15:00,060
 It's a great sport.

2824
02:15:01,020 --> 02:15:09,160
 It's actually one of the most challenging sports as an individual because we expect you to run six days a week.

2825
02:15:09,800 --> 02:15:15,620
 And that's whether you're at the beach on vacation or whether it's the weekend or whatever, or if it's raining.

2826
02:15:16,080 --> 02:15:20,580
 We expect athletes to continue to commit their time to the sport.

2827
02:15:20,780 --> 02:15:25,920
 And so, if they come and they develop the habit of working hard, they carry that through life.

2828
02:15:26,780 --> 02:15:29,040
 Well, and congratulations on a great start.

2829
02:15:29,140 --> 02:15:31,660
 We look forward to great results coming up in the future as well.

2830
02:15:31,940 --> 02:15:32,960
 We're excited about it.

2831
02:15:33,180 --> 02:15:34,840
 And best of luck coming up as well, okay?

2832
02:15:34,960 --> 02:15:35,580
 Thank you, Kevin.

2833
02:15:35,620 --> 02:15:39,660
 Coach Lisa Schaefer, Coach Paul Von Herman, the cross-country coaches at Florence High School.

2834
02:15:39,820 --> 02:15:41,900
 We're back after this one-minute timeout.

2835
02:15:42,560 --> 02:15:45,520
 At First Southern Bank, we always cheer for the home team.

2836
02:15:45,860 --> 02:15:49,080
 We are homegrown with deep roots, and we're invested in this community.

2837
02:15:49,500 --> 02:15:54,940
 With checking and savings accounts, mobile and online banking, and a mortgage department to help you with the home of your dreams,

2838
02:15:55,000 --> 02:15:57,340
 First Southern Bank is your neighborhood bank.

2839
02:15:57,820 --> 02:16:01,900
 Sometimes a local financial institution with deep roots and a commitment to the community

2840
02:16:01,900 --> 02:16:04,080
 can provide just the banking services you need.

2841
02:16:04,480 --> 02:16:07,540
 We always root for the home team, because we are the home team.

2842
02:16:07,940 --> 02:16:10,580
 First Southern Bank, equal housing lender, member FDIC.

2843
02:16:11,960 --> 02:16:14,880
 Hey guys, this is Mark down at Warehouse Tackle.

2844
02:16:15,140 --> 02:16:20,140
 So we offer the best fishing tackle and outdoor supplies in the Shoals area.

2845
02:16:20,360 --> 02:16:23,140
 We're located on 417 East College Street.

2846
02:16:23,140 --> 02:16:27,720
 Our phone number is 256-980-0951.

2847
02:16:28,100 --> 02:16:33,380
 And you can find us on the web at www.warehouse-tackle.com.

2848
02:16:33,580 --> 02:16:34,420
 Come and see us.

2849
02:16:34,700 --> 02:16:41,900
 We're proud to be a sponsor of Florence Falcons football, and we wish Coach Morrison and the team good luck to you in your season.

2850
02:16:46,860 --> 02:16:53,180
 Welcome back to the TNT Fireworks Halftime Show, where Florence and Russell tied at 44.

2851
02:16:53,480 --> 02:16:54,600
 Here we go again, folks.

2852
02:16:54,700 --> 02:16:56,500
 A tough game for Florence.

2853
02:16:56,600 --> 02:16:57,300
 Back-to-back weeks.

2854
02:16:57,420 --> 02:16:58,920
 Last week of Muscle Shows was scoreless.

2855
02:16:58,980 --> 02:17:00,100
 Now 14-14 here.

2856
02:17:00,400 --> 02:17:02,020
 Let's get the stats from Chick-fil-A.

2857
02:17:02,320 --> 02:17:04,360
 Today, our good friend John McDaniel will bring them.

2858
02:17:05,040 --> 02:17:08,540
 The way they're supposed to be region games, supposed to be competitive, evenly matched.

2859
02:17:08,840 --> 02:17:10,340
 Maybe not they'd want it to be.

2860
02:17:10,560 --> 02:17:10,640
 No.

2861
02:17:11,500 --> 02:17:16,160
 The whole team tonight, Russell, will go to the Tigers' first half, 182 yards of offense.

2862
02:17:16,740 --> 02:17:19,380
 19 rushes for 104 yards.

2863
02:17:20,080 --> 02:17:22,860
 Three for six passing for 78 yards.

2864
02:17:23,580 --> 02:17:25,140
 Eight first downs in the half.

2865
02:17:25,460 --> 02:17:26,700
 Three for five.

2866
02:17:26,860 --> 02:17:27,840
 Third down conversions.

2867
02:17:28,380 --> 02:17:29,520
 No fourth down attempts.

2868
02:17:30,200 --> 02:17:32,240
 One penalty tonight, 15 yards.

2869
02:17:32,820 --> 02:17:34,160
 No turnovers in the half.

2870
02:17:34,160 --> 02:17:36,060
 Two for two on their PATs.

2871
02:17:36,420 --> 02:17:39,660
 Time of possession, 10 minutes, 26 seconds.

2872
02:17:40,680 --> 02:17:44,380
 Falcons, 179 yards of offense.

2873
02:17:44,960 --> 02:17:48,300
 We had 24 rushes for 161 yards.

2874
02:17:48,940 --> 02:17:51,740
 Three for four passing, but only 18 yards.

2875
02:17:52,600 --> 02:17:54,440
 We had nine first downs in the half.

2876
02:17:55,000 --> 02:17:57,160
 One for three on third down conversions.

2877
02:17:57,500 --> 02:17:58,700
 And no fourth down attempts.

2878
02:17:59,600 --> 02:18:03,060
 Big Bugaboo, six penalties in the half for 55 yards.

2879
02:18:03,180 --> 02:18:04,500
 A lot of that on one drive.

2880
02:18:05,260 --> 02:18:06,240
 No turnovers.

2881
02:18:06,560 --> 02:18:08,320
 Two for two on the PATs tonight.

2882
02:18:09,160 --> 02:18:11,140
 13 minutes, 21 seconds.

2883
02:18:11,300 --> 02:18:12,640
 Time of possession in the half.

2884
02:18:13,580 --> 02:18:16,100
 Russellville got the ball to start the game in the first quarter.

2885
02:18:16,200 --> 02:18:17,320
 It took them three plays.

2886
02:18:17,520 --> 02:18:20,140
 And they hit a big pass play from Cleveland to Clements.

2887
02:18:20,240 --> 02:18:21,560
 Something probably they saw on film.

2888
02:18:21,940 --> 02:18:24,500
 They went streaking down the right sideline wide open.

2889
02:18:24,780 --> 02:18:25,900
 And he hit him in stride.

2890
02:18:25,900 --> 02:18:30,680
 And it was 7-0 before you can get your popcorn and get seated in the stands.

2891
02:18:31,100 --> 02:18:36,480
 But Florence comes back and answers late in the first quarter with 104 to go in the quarter.

2892
02:18:36,920 --> 02:18:39,240
 This time a quarterback sneak on fourth down.

2893
02:18:39,700 --> 02:18:41,760
 Mahan bulled behind that big offensive line.

2894
02:18:42,020 --> 02:18:44,840
 Put in the end zone to complete a nine-play 68-yard drive.

2895
02:18:45,280 --> 02:18:46,620
 Greenhall's extra point is good.

2896
02:18:46,700 --> 02:18:47,520
 We're tied at seven.

2897
02:18:47,980 --> 02:18:48,900
 Russellville comes back.

2898
02:18:49,020 --> 02:18:49,640
 Answers again.

2899
02:18:49,780 --> 02:18:55,240
 This time Taurus Davis gets loose from 15 yards out to complete what was a 91-yard drive.

2900
02:18:55,360 --> 02:18:56,460
 They took eight plays.

2901
02:18:56,580 --> 02:18:59,780
 A lot of that was on penalties, though, with five minutes to go in the half.

2902
02:18:59,900 --> 02:19:01,120
 Russellville led it 14-7.

2903
02:19:01,460 --> 02:19:02,740
 But the Falcons didn't blink.

2904
02:19:02,860 --> 02:19:07,540
 Matter of fact, they take the football and they march 80 yards and 11 plays in the last five minutes.

2905
02:19:07,900 --> 02:19:13,420
 And they get the score when Mr. Kayon Williams goes in for the touchdown from just a few yards out.

2906
02:19:13,720 --> 02:19:15,680
 And the Falcons are tied up at 14.

2907
02:19:15,840 --> 02:19:17,300
 And that's where we are at the half.

2908
02:19:17,640 --> 02:19:20,260
 And, Mike, I've got my heart medicine ready.

2909
02:19:20,360 --> 02:19:21,560
 I think we're going to need it for this one.

2910
02:19:21,620 --> 02:19:22,900
 I think everybody else might as well.

2911
02:19:23,340 --> 02:19:25,360
 We knew coming in this was not going to be easy.

2912
02:19:25,480 --> 02:19:28,380
 And Russellville has done everything they can to make this a difficult game.

2913
02:19:28,820 --> 02:19:29,880
 Kudos to the Golden Tigers.

2914
02:19:29,980 --> 02:19:31,080
 Now can the Falcons answer.

2915
02:19:31,640 --> 02:19:38,220
 You know, we said going in it's going to be a tough sled because, you know, we're coming off that emotional win

2916
02:19:38,220 --> 02:19:45,160
 and a well-coached, well-oiled machine here in Russellville and being able to, you know, face them on the road.

2917
02:19:45,360 --> 02:19:51,240
 This is one of those situations that, you know, this game being this close, as you get closer to the fourth quarter,

2918
02:19:51,380 --> 02:19:54,980
 if we don't stretch some things out, things might get real tight and hairy here.

2919
02:19:55,320 --> 02:19:57,220
 You know, both last week was defense.

2920
02:19:57,400 --> 02:19:59,480
 Which defense would blink first?

2921
02:19:59,640 --> 02:20:02,320
 Tonight, it might be which offense Jeffrey Jones blinks first.

2922
02:20:02,400 --> 02:20:05,080
 Which one has the big turnover early in the third quarter or fourth quarter?

2923
02:20:05,240 --> 02:20:10,360
 Yeah, there's been a couple times where we thought we might have got them by mistake.

2924
02:20:10,580 --> 02:20:12,120
 They had a couple big lost plays.

2925
02:20:12,360 --> 02:20:16,920
 But, you know, they did put the ball on the ground, but we just weren't where we needed to be to get it.

2926
02:20:17,660 --> 02:20:21,440
 But it is a little bit different game, you know, tied up 14-14 right now.

2927
02:20:21,640 --> 02:20:25,580
 It is going to be a – we're going to have to – our defense is going to have to rest.

2928
02:20:26,320 --> 02:20:27,700
 You know, hats off to the defense.

2929
02:20:27,880 --> 02:20:32,020
 This offense that they're running, we – these kids have never played against this defense.

2930
02:20:32,020 --> 02:20:32,840
 It's so difficult.

2931
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:34,300
 People don't realize if you haven't seen it.

2932
02:20:34,300 --> 02:20:40,920
 And Higgins has done a great job of implementing it and getting them on board.

2933
02:20:41,000 --> 02:20:43,180
 He's got the right players doing the right things.

2934
02:20:43,360 --> 02:20:44,120
 I will say this.

2935
02:20:44,800 --> 02:20:50,740
 Coach Higgins lives in my neighborhood, and we see him – me and Caroline see him walking his dog almost every night.

2936
02:20:51,280 --> 02:20:53,540
 And this week we haven't seen him at all.

2937
02:20:53,840 --> 02:20:54,720
 It worried me.

2938
02:20:55,060 --> 02:20:56,400
 So, you know, I was wondering.

2939
02:20:56,540 --> 02:20:59,360
 I was like, he's either still got him in practice at 7 o'clock at night.

2940
02:20:59,380 --> 02:21:00,720
 Well, it's still a little extra film time.

2941
02:21:00,780 --> 02:21:02,500
 Yeah, he's got him in the film room.

2942
02:21:02,780 --> 02:21:05,220
 So, but we knew what we were coming up against.

2943
02:21:05,300 --> 02:21:06,100
 We've seen it for years.

2944
02:21:06,260 --> 02:21:08,380
 He's coached right down the street from us for years.

2945
02:21:08,980 --> 02:21:13,640
 We knew what he was about and how – but it's just – the part that amazes me the most about this

2946
02:21:13,640 --> 02:21:15,940
 is he has implemented this so quickly.

2947
02:21:16,040 --> 02:21:16,200
 Yeah.

2948
02:21:16,460 --> 02:21:19,880
 And that's not – it's not an easy offense to run, and he's got it.

2949
02:21:20,140 --> 02:21:21,060
 He's got them running it good.

2950
02:21:21,300 --> 02:21:21,940
 I agree with that.

2951
02:21:22,040 --> 02:21:23,720
 John McDaniel, the stats didn't lie.

2952
02:21:23,840 --> 02:21:27,240
 I mean, 182 yards to 179 yards, score 14-14.

2953
02:21:28,080 --> 02:21:30,360
 I said, which team blinks first on offense?

2954
02:21:30,500 --> 02:21:35,320
 You know, who can make that play to maybe go from a one-score game to a two-score game here?

2955
02:21:35,760 --> 02:21:42,500
 Yeah, I think late in the second quarter, you saw what's our template for victory.

2956
02:21:43,460 --> 02:21:46,860
 Holding the ball, leaning on them as an offensive line.

2957
02:21:46,920 --> 02:21:50,900
 As you said, they have a few guys that go both ways, playing offensive defense,

2958
02:21:51,440 --> 02:21:55,500
 and being able to wear them down is going to be the key.

2959
02:21:55,500 --> 02:22:00,560
 We cannot give up any more long runs like we did in that last drive.

2960
02:22:00,720 --> 02:22:05,840
 We were completely out of position, and we're going to have to work on that a little bit.

2961
02:22:06,320 --> 02:22:07,400
 We're at the half.

2962
02:22:07,540 --> 02:22:10,560
 Both teams coming out, warming up for their three-minute stretch here to warm up.

2963
02:22:10,980 --> 02:22:12,620
 Florence and Russell tied at 14.

2964
02:22:12,700 --> 02:22:16,440
 It'll be the Falcons football when we get ready to start the third quarter here.

2965
02:22:16,780 --> 02:22:20,540
 And, again, best of luck to all the teams playing in sports for Florence this week.

2966
02:22:20,820 --> 02:22:22,180
 A lot of big games going on.

2967
02:22:22,440 --> 02:22:24,080
 A lot of different things going on from swimming.

2968
02:22:24,440 --> 02:22:27,080
 Tomorrow, Mike, you'll be in Albertville with your son and the swim team.

2969
02:22:27,140 --> 02:22:28,500
 That's a big match for our meet for them.

2970
02:22:28,800 --> 02:22:31,860
 I know it's a young, young team, but they're having fun, and they're getting better every week.

2971
02:22:32,020 --> 02:22:33,480
 They are getting better every week.

2972
02:22:33,920 --> 02:22:35,020
 They're putting the work in.

2973
02:22:35,100 --> 02:22:40,320
 If you ever watch any of these swim practices and just try to do one-tenth of what they do,

2974
02:22:40,440 --> 02:22:41,860
 you'd quit right away.

2975
02:22:41,860 --> 02:22:49,220
 They really are a tough little bunch, and they've gotten better each time hitting PRs

2976
02:22:49,220 --> 02:22:54,160
 and doing all sorts of other things, but really getting out there and competing, young bunch.

2977
02:22:54,340 --> 02:22:57,140
 You know, the cross-country team, you know, ranked number one.

2978
02:22:57,380 --> 02:23:02,420
 We just listened to Doc and Coach over there, and just, you know,

2979
02:23:02,500 --> 02:23:06,840
 I got to talk to one of their runners this week and just the amount of work that they're putting in

2980
02:23:06,840 --> 02:23:10,960
 and how, you know, expectations are high, but they're working to meet those.

2981
02:23:10,960 --> 02:23:15,260
 They have six Division I players or athletes on the cross-country team.

2982
02:23:15,620 --> 02:23:16,520
 That's pretty impressive.

2983
02:23:16,860 --> 02:23:18,140
 Not Division II, Division I.

2984
02:23:18,460 --> 02:23:19,040
 That's impressive.

2985
02:23:19,180 --> 02:23:22,760
 Now, Charlie Hollinsworth, by the way, a new 5K record for school record.

2986
02:23:23,180 --> 02:23:30,140
 He had a 15-minute, 24-second 5K run, and then also just amazing all-around what they've done.

2987
02:23:30,500 --> 02:23:33,980
 Last year, Mary Mishner was the girls' runner of the year last year,

2988
02:23:34,060 --> 02:23:39,420
 so just a great team for boys and girls in swimming, in volleyball, and also in cross-country well.

2989
02:23:39,800 --> 02:23:44,060
 And looking here, the Florence Falcon football team, 3-0, trying to go to 4-0,

2990
02:23:44,140 --> 02:23:45,200
 but they're going to have their hands full.

2991
02:23:45,340 --> 02:23:47,420
 We'll see if they can do it in the third quarter here.

2992
02:23:47,760 --> 02:23:49,780
 You're listening to the TNT Fireworks Halftime Show.

2993
02:23:49,880 --> 02:23:51,260
 Florence and Russell will tie it at 14.

2994
02:23:51,340 --> 02:23:52,240
 We're back in one minute.

2995
02:23:53,020 --> 02:23:56,940
 It's football time in Alabama.

2996
02:23:57,340 --> 02:23:59,660
 Our students are earning big American lessons.

2997
02:24:00,240 --> 02:24:02,380
 You can start with your God-given talents,

2998
02:24:02,560 --> 02:24:04,660
 and through practice, hard work, and sacrifice,

2999
02:24:05,020 --> 02:24:06,980
 you have the ability to become champions.

3000
02:24:07,780 --> 02:24:09,360
 This is Congressman Robert Adderholt.

3001
02:24:09,880 --> 02:24:13,640
 May God bless all of our students representing our high schools during this season,

3002
02:24:14,060 --> 02:24:16,300
 and may God bless the United States of America.

3003
02:24:16,500 --> 02:24:19,220
 I'm Robert Adderholt, and I approve this message.

3004
02:24:19,840 --> 02:24:22,060
 Paid for by Adderholt for Congress.

3005
02:24:23,700 --> 02:24:28,200
 At North Alabama Bone and Joint Clinic, our Shoals roots run deep.

3006
02:24:28,200 --> 02:24:34,920
 We provide quick access and familiar, friendly faces so you never have to feel just like a number.

3007
02:24:35,300 --> 02:24:40,080
 From sports medicine to joint replacement, expert care happens right here at home.

3008
02:24:40,080 --> 02:24:47,260
 As UNA Athletics' choice for orthopedics and the trusted orthopedic team of the show families for over 30 years,

3009
02:24:47,440 --> 02:24:50,180
 North Alabama Bone and Joint Clinic is here for you.

3010
02:24:50,380 --> 02:25:06,240
 As the TMC Fireworks halftime show comes to a close, tied at 14,

3011
02:25:06,640 --> 02:25:08,880
 Florence will receive the ball here to start the third quarter.

3012
02:25:09,400 --> 02:25:11,880
 Mike Albertson, your adjustments for Florence here in the third quarter.

3013
02:25:12,420 --> 02:25:17,060
 I mean, I think it's just continuation of doing what we had had success with.

3014
02:25:17,120 --> 02:25:18,440
 We ran the ball quite well.

3015
02:25:18,520 --> 02:25:19,700
 They're going to adjust a little bit,

3016
02:25:19,700 --> 02:25:20,940
 so we're going to have to mix and match.

3017
02:25:20,940 --> 02:25:24,220
 But being able to just continue to hammer in on that defense

3018
02:25:24,220 --> 02:25:28,260
 and give them adjustments and keys to look at in this second half,

3019
02:25:28,320 --> 02:25:32,520
 I mean, I think it kind of played out the way you would like in the first half.

3020
02:25:32,620 --> 02:25:35,240
 Maybe not that big play early on,

3021
02:25:35,320 --> 02:25:39,640
 but being able to come away and tie it up before half and get the ball back,

3022
02:25:39,720 --> 02:25:40,480
 this is going to be huge.

3023
02:25:40,720 --> 02:25:41,600
 Different kicker.

3024
02:25:41,800 --> 02:25:42,700
 That always alerts me.

3025
02:25:43,120 --> 02:25:44,120
 A different kicker out there.

3026
02:25:44,200 --> 02:25:45,980
 That's not the normal kicker, if I'm not mistaken.

3027
02:25:46,360 --> 02:25:49,060
 This looks like it's Jose Tristan who will be kicking it away.

3028
02:25:49,060 --> 02:25:51,500
 He puts it on almost the left hash.

3029
02:25:52,140 --> 02:25:56,240
 I would be rabbit ears up if I'm Florence sideline on this big time.

3030
02:25:56,240 --> 02:25:57,480
 Have you seen him kicking any game prior?

3031
02:25:57,560 --> 02:25:59,560
 I have not seen him kicking any game prior.

3032
02:25:59,680 --> 02:26:02,180
 Number 20 has been Garcia being the kicker most of the time.

3033
02:26:02,820 --> 02:26:05,000
 So, let's see what they do here.

3034
02:26:06,000 --> 02:26:07,620
 Falcons will be going left to right.

3035
02:26:08,680 --> 02:26:12,460
 I'm just thinking this is where you try to steal a possession if you're Russell.

3036
02:26:12,900 --> 02:26:13,660
 Tied at 14.

3037
02:26:14,540 --> 02:26:15,720
 But, no, he kicks it away.

3038
02:26:16,380 --> 02:26:19,060
 It's going to be down the field and taken by the Falcons at the 12.

3039
02:26:19,400 --> 02:26:20,720
 Bring it back to the 20 as a goal.

3040
02:26:20,780 --> 02:26:22,180
 It's going to be coming back to the right sideline.

3041
02:26:22,280 --> 02:26:24,600
 He's running the use of speed, but he's not going to get outside the 20.

3042
02:26:25,060 --> 02:26:27,420
 And he'll go out of bounds around the 22-yard line.

3043
02:26:28,240 --> 02:26:30,340
 Ran about 100 yards to get to the 22.

3044
02:26:30,500 --> 02:26:33,120
 And bring it first and 10 for the Falcons at the 22.

3045
02:26:34,120 --> 02:26:36,240
 And see if this Falcon offense can do something here.

3046
02:26:36,940 --> 02:26:40,900
 Would have liked to have seen him cut it up the field and try to make a guy miss.

3047
02:26:41,000 --> 02:26:43,420
 He actually cut back a few yards.

3048
02:26:43,540 --> 02:26:44,700
 I know he was trying to get the edge.

3049
02:26:44,780 --> 02:26:47,660
 But, at some point, you know, is the juice worth the squeeze?

3050
02:26:47,740 --> 02:26:49,480
 He just ran 60 yards to get to.

3051
02:26:49,620 --> 02:26:51,140
 And that was tough.

3052
02:26:51,420 --> 02:26:53,480
 Jeffrey Jones, are you in the end zone with us by any chance?

3053
02:26:54,900 --> 02:26:57,200
 He's still working his way down there, so we'll catch him there.

3054
02:26:57,500 --> 02:26:58,960
 He might have had to get that second hot dog.

3055
02:26:58,960 --> 02:27:02,380
 The Russell Hospitality has got all our crew of hot dogs.

3056
02:27:02,540 --> 02:27:04,900
 And they all enjoyed it, except for yours truly.

3057
02:27:05,780 --> 02:27:07,120
 It might have been everyone either.

3058
02:27:07,660 --> 02:27:08,400
 We didn't miss mine.

3059
02:27:08,480 --> 02:27:09,560
 I think Jeffrey might have got two.

3060
02:27:10,020 --> 02:27:12,740
 First and 10 at the 22.

3061
02:27:13,480 --> 02:27:15,520
 I believe that is Johnson in the backfield.

3062
02:27:15,660 --> 02:27:15,920
 We'll check.

3063
02:27:16,180 --> 02:27:16,560
 It is.

3064
02:27:16,760 --> 02:27:17,800
 Johnson off the left side.

3065
02:27:18,040 --> 02:27:19,440
 He's hitting the backfield and goes down.

3066
02:27:20,040 --> 02:27:21,980
 Got chased down from behind right there.

3067
02:27:22,380 --> 02:27:25,340
 That was great defense by the Golden Tigers coming up and making the play.

3068
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:26,780
 And they chased him down.

3069
02:27:26,980 --> 02:27:29,020
 They knew what was coming right out the gate.

3070
02:27:29,360 --> 02:27:31,560
 They weren't, you know, they were going to keep,

3071
02:27:31,680 --> 02:27:33,420
 we were going to keep running until they stopped us.

3072
02:27:33,520 --> 02:27:34,580
 And they did on that play.

3073
02:27:34,700 --> 02:27:36,280
 They ran the blitz around the outside.

3074
02:27:36,480 --> 02:27:39,500
 And he went on block to be able to take him down from behind.

3075
02:27:39,620 --> 02:27:40,240
 Lost two.

3076
02:27:40,240 --> 02:27:42,780
 Second down and 12 after Zade Hester makes the tackle.

3077
02:27:43,480 --> 02:27:45,100
 One back in the backfield, Steele Johnson.

3078
02:27:45,300 --> 02:27:46,480
 One wide receiver to the left.

3079
02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:47,820
 Twins to the right.

3080
02:27:47,900 --> 02:27:50,100
 Now, Blank will go in motion to the left.

3081
02:27:51,820 --> 02:27:52,820
 Look to give it inside again.

3082
02:27:52,920 --> 02:27:55,080
 Johnson got running around, pushed as far, but not much.

3083
02:27:55,680 --> 02:27:58,840
 He went into a pile of Golden Tigers.

3084
02:27:59,340 --> 02:28:02,280
 Gets about four to the 22, but it brings up third and eight.

3085
02:28:02,400 --> 02:28:05,180
 And early on, tied at 14 with 11 minutes to go.

3086
02:28:05,760 --> 02:28:08,820
 This is where you don't want to, if you're Florence,

3087
02:28:08,880 --> 02:28:10,960
 you want to make sure that you start making things happen.

3088
02:28:11,440 --> 02:28:14,000
 And this Golden Tiger crowd is starting to get a little bit louder here.

3089
02:28:16,420 --> 02:28:20,580
 Been a little more aggressive early in this, for the Golden Tigers defense.

3090
02:28:21,080 --> 02:28:23,280
 Playing linebackers a little closer to the line.

3091
02:28:23,540 --> 02:28:24,960
 Like to get a swing pass, KJ.

3092
02:28:25,060 --> 02:28:25,820
 Look like it'd be open.

3093
02:28:25,960 --> 02:28:27,240
 Watch for Morris on this.

3094
02:28:27,480 --> 02:28:28,260
 Four wide receivers.

3095
02:28:29,160 --> 02:28:29,840
 Straight drop.

3096
02:28:29,980 --> 02:28:30,280
 Looking.

3097
02:28:30,460 --> 02:28:32,640
 Looking on the screen if you can, but they read it.

3098
02:28:33,040 --> 02:28:34,780
 Johnson was being held, and he can't throw it now,

3099
02:28:34,880 --> 02:28:36,480
 and he's going to be sacked back inside the five.

3100
02:28:36,960 --> 02:28:39,400
 They bring you down there, around the three-yard line.

3101
02:28:40,220 --> 02:28:40,820
 No, he throws it.

3102
02:28:40,840 --> 02:28:41,380
 It's complete.

3103
02:28:41,640 --> 02:28:42,640
 How did he get rid of it?

3104
02:28:42,640 --> 02:28:44,360
 I couldn't see it, and Elliott caught it.

3105
02:28:45,300 --> 02:28:45,660
 Unbelievable.

3106
02:28:46,100 --> 02:28:49,700
 Spinning out of it, and Mike, it was an incredible play for Florence in the first down.

3107
02:28:49,960 --> 02:28:53,220
 Mahan was wrapped up, and he held him around the shoulder pads,

3108
02:28:53,280 --> 02:28:57,200
 and Mahan just pulled his weight off him and was able to break away.

3109
02:28:57,200 --> 02:29:00,260
 He kept his feet, and Elliott was wide open down the field.

3110
02:29:00,840 --> 02:29:02,940
 Costin just threw it as far as he could,

3111
02:29:03,040 --> 02:29:04,540
 and Elliott secured that pass.

3112
02:29:04,640 --> 02:29:06,740
 What a broken pass turned into a great play.

3113
02:29:06,840 --> 02:29:09,460
 There is one corner of the end zone where I am blocked,

3114
02:29:09,800 --> 02:29:11,800
 and I'm literally blocked, and Mahan was in that corner.

3115
02:29:11,860 --> 02:29:12,580
 I couldn't see.

3116
02:29:12,820 --> 02:29:14,560
 I thought he was being sacked inside the five.

3117
02:29:15,000 --> 02:29:18,360
 Somehow he makes a miraculous play, and Florence is in Russell territory.

3118
02:29:18,880 --> 02:29:19,540
 First and ten.

3119
02:29:19,680 --> 02:29:20,440
 Give it to Williams.

3120
02:29:20,540 --> 02:29:21,060
 Nowhere to go.

3121
02:29:21,140 --> 02:29:22,060
 He breaks the tackle anyway.

3122
02:29:22,380 --> 02:29:24,040
 Jumps over defender and gets the first down.

3123
02:29:24,120 --> 02:29:24,980
 Flag on the play.

3124
02:29:25,460 --> 02:29:26,320
 He's around the ten.

3125
02:29:26,320 --> 02:29:29,340
 He's got ten yards at the 28, but let's wait and see what the flag is.

3126
02:29:29,620 --> 02:29:31,280
 It's thrown where he usually is holding.

3127
02:29:32,920 --> 02:29:35,060
 And I believe they may bring this one back.

3128
02:29:39,200 --> 02:29:40,400
 Holding against Florence.

3129
02:29:41,200 --> 02:29:46,400
 If it comes for where the flag was thrown, it should be but about a five-yard penalty

3130
02:29:46,400 --> 02:29:47,500
 from the line of scrimmage.

3131
02:29:47,580 --> 02:29:49,580
 But no, they're going to make it about eight.

3132
02:29:50,140 --> 02:29:55,620
 So it was right at the first and 18, negating a ten-yard run.

3133
02:29:56,120 --> 02:29:58,460
 Hold your breath every time Williams has it, though, in his hands.

3134
02:29:58,520 --> 02:29:59,220
 He's pretty special.

3135
02:30:00,320 --> 02:30:04,280
 Yeah, it was a beautiful run there, and once he got into that second level

3136
02:30:04,280 --> 02:30:08,420
 and he made a guy miss, he had a couple extra steps there

3137
02:30:08,420 --> 02:30:09,540
 and got the first down.

3138
02:30:09,900 --> 02:30:11,080
 Unfortunately, it was a callback.

3139
02:30:12,420 --> 02:30:13,420
 First and 18.

3140
02:30:13,980 --> 02:30:15,080
 Williams is still the tailback.

3141
02:30:17,160 --> 02:30:18,360
 Williams right up the middle.

3142
02:30:18,440 --> 02:30:19,000
 Nowhere to go.

3143
02:30:19,100 --> 02:30:19,840
 He spins away.

3144
02:30:19,900 --> 02:30:20,620
 He won't get much.

3145
02:30:21,000 --> 02:30:23,380
 That time, a host of Golden Tigers brings him down.

3146
02:30:25,960 --> 02:30:28,620
 They'll bring up second down in about 18.

3147
02:30:28,720 --> 02:30:29,240
 No game.

3148
02:30:32,620 --> 02:30:37,000
 So the Golden Tigers have adjusted their defense a little bit to the Florence run game.

3149
02:30:37,320 --> 02:30:39,620
 And as John said, a little bit more pressure, Mike.

3150
02:30:39,680 --> 02:30:41,600
 And I think that's where you're seeing the linebackers here.

3151
02:30:42,680 --> 02:30:48,600
 Yeah, early on in the game, the Russellville linebackers were moving this quick,

3152
02:30:48,760 --> 02:30:53,060
 and Florence made some adjustments, and they got worn down towards the second quarter.

3153
02:30:53,220 --> 02:30:55,960
 So, like, this might just be freshness from the second half.

3154
02:30:56,120 --> 02:30:56,620
 Straight drop.

3155
02:30:56,700 --> 02:30:57,180
 Most of the throws.

3156
02:30:57,260 --> 02:30:58,760
 Going to throw the fade route down the sideline.

3157
02:30:58,880 --> 02:30:59,480
 Kirkman's out there.

3158
02:30:59,540 --> 02:31:00,060
 Can he get it?

3159
02:31:00,200 --> 02:31:02,600
 He catches it just inside the 15-yard line.

3160
02:31:02,860 --> 02:31:03,840
 First down, Florence.

3161
02:31:04,100 --> 02:31:05,020
 He brought it in.

3162
02:31:05,320 --> 02:31:06,000
 Mark him down.

3163
02:31:06,080 --> 02:31:08,720
 The officials over there marking it down at the 16.

3164
02:31:08,900 --> 02:31:10,360
 What a play by Justin Kirkman.

3165
02:31:10,620 --> 02:31:13,380
 That was a great job by Kirkman coming off the line.

3166
02:31:13,840 --> 02:31:14,820
 Beat his man deep.

3167
02:31:14,820 --> 02:31:19,960
 And Mahan just – it was a 1-v-1 play right there, and Kirkman won that one.

3168
02:31:20,020 --> 02:31:23,500
 Austin delivered a ball there in the corner that only Kirkman can catch.

3169
02:31:23,520 --> 02:31:27,020
 That throw was perfect on the right shoulder right there on the outside,

3170
02:31:27,140 --> 02:31:29,640
 and Kirkman made sure he brought it in, got his feet in,

3171
02:31:29,740 --> 02:31:31,260
 and Falcons knocking on the door.

3172
02:31:31,720 --> 02:31:35,780
 What looked like was going to be a sack at the 2, a miraculous play by Mahan.

3173
02:31:36,080 --> 02:31:37,260
 A great throw by Mahan.

3174
02:31:37,580 --> 02:31:39,600
 Knocking on the door at the Falcons at the 16.

3175
02:31:42,400 --> 02:31:44,040
 Kayon got it off the left side.

3176
02:31:44,160 --> 02:31:46,200
 Spins going to get hit and going down this time.

3177
02:31:46,280 --> 02:31:46,780
 No game.

3178
02:31:47,880 --> 02:31:49,140
 Couldn't get anything going.

3179
02:31:49,700 --> 02:31:50,340
 No game.

3180
02:31:50,400 --> 02:31:51,440
 Maybe lost a yard or two.

3181
02:31:54,160 --> 02:31:57,560
 Again, you hear Drake Urgell coming in and making the play.

3182
02:31:57,700 --> 02:31:58,600
 He's a safety.

3183
02:31:58,920 --> 02:32:01,380
 The free safeties are starting to come up and make a lot of plays.

3184
02:32:01,980 --> 02:32:04,140
 Play action across the middle may be open here soon.

3185
02:32:04,460 --> 02:32:08,180
 Play action across the middle used to kill us when that same D.C. played for us.

3186
02:32:08,180 --> 02:32:10,100
 So, you know, that's just something to be said.

3187
02:32:10,320 --> 02:32:13,020
 That's where they leave those holes open in that defense.

3188
02:32:13,420 --> 02:32:16,060
 Kayon Williams stays in the game, I believe, on second down and 12.

3189
02:32:16,860 --> 02:32:18,500
 Left goes Tripp Morris.

3190
02:32:19,300 --> 02:32:20,240
 Where's number 15?

3191
02:32:21,120 --> 02:32:22,720
 He's 6'3", a sophomore.

3192
02:32:23,720 --> 02:32:27,360
 And before the snap, timeout by the Falcons.

3193
02:32:27,460 --> 02:32:28,320
 We'll do the same.

3194
02:32:29,060 --> 02:32:31,420
 8.06 to go here in the third quarter.

3195
02:32:31,820 --> 02:32:34,220
 Falcon football returns after this 30-second timeout.

3196
02:32:36,120 --> 02:32:38,980
 Hey, Falcon fans, this is Keith at Cypress Creek Indoor Range.

3197
02:32:38,980 --> 02:32:43,400
 We know great defense starts up front, and the Falcons start with Jaden Wire, defensive tackle.

3198
02:32:44,040 --> 02:32:51,820
 Whether stopping the run or disrupting that quarterback, Jaden has the right tools, puts in the hard work, and has the right training to stop the offensive threat of opposing teams.

3199
02:32:52,320 --> 02:32:56,500
 Let Cypress Creek Indoor Range provide you with the tools, training, and resources to defend your family.

3200
02:32:56,500 --> 02:33:03,760
 We're the biggest gun store in the souls, and the only indoor shooting range and training center to provide everything you need to have the best defense for your family.

3201
02:33:04,280 --> 02:33:08,460
 Cypress Creek Indoor Range is located at 5060, Highway 157, and Underwood, Petersville.

3202
02:33:08,960 --> 02:33:12,040
 On the web, cypresscreekrange.com, and on social media.

3203
02:33:12,500 --> 02:33:13,060
 Go Falcons!

3204
02:33:17,920 --> 02:33:23,900
 8.06 to go in the third, tied at 14, but Florence in this first possession of the third quarter, knocking on the door.

3205
02:33:24,520 --> 02:33:26,860
 Face second down, and we'll call it 12 to go.

3206
02:33:26,940 --> 02:33:28,820
 They have to touch about the seven-yard line.

3207
02:33:29,840 --> 02:33:34,580
 The ball is now at the 18 or 19-yard line.

3208
02:33:34,620 --> 02:33:35,360
 I'm going to call it the 19.

3209
02:33:37,480 --> 02:33:39,960
 It's the second, and we'll call it second out of 11 from the 18.

3210
02:33:40,620 --> 02:33:42,920
 Ball right in the middle of the field, going left to right.

3211
02:33:43,480 --> 02:33:45,760
 Kirkman, who caught the big pass earlier, to the left.

3212
02:33:46,980 --> 02:33:48,140
 One wide receiver.

3213
02:33:50,500 --> 02:33:51,260
 Two backs.

3214
02:33:51,600 --> 02:33:52,480
 Going to play action.

3215
02:33:52,580 --> 02:33:53,080
 Look to throw.

3216
02:33:53,200 --> 02:33:53,740
 Down the middle.

3217
02:33:53,820 --> 02:33:54,320
 He's got a man.

3218
02:33:54,320 --> 02:33:54,580
 One.

3219
02:34:07,480 --> 02:34:11,400
 Back over the middle.

3220
02:34:11,680 --> 02:34:14,100
 You just called that maybe two minutes ago.

3221
02:34:14,320 --> 02:34:24,260
 Well, maybe so, but, you know, it was one of those things where they kept bringing the safeties up and give Coach Cade McGuire, with eight minutes to go, a lot of credit to say, hey, it's open, and he found it.

3222
02:34:25,100 --> 02:34:27,320
 Greenhalter tried to attempt the PAT.

3223
02:34:27,800 --> 02:34:28,480
 Snap good.

3224
02:34:28,780 --> 02:34:29,380
 Hold good.

3225
02:34:29,740 --> 02:34:30,360
 Kick up.

3226
02:34:30,920 --> 02:34:31,560
 Kick good.

3227
02:34:32,180 --> 02:34:32,840
 New score.

3228
02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:33,740
 Florence, 21.

3229
02:34:34,320 --> 02:34:35,200
 Russellville, 14.

3230
02:34:35,340 --> 02:34:36,620
 Come back and see us in 30.

3231
02:34:38,620 --> 02:34:44,900

02:34:54,780 --> 02:35:01,880
 Please call me, Leslie Johnson, Keith Medley, Adam Burchill, at 256-766-3131.

3235
02:35:01,940 --> 02:35:05,120
 We are proud to be a sponsor of Florence High School Athletics.

3236
02:35:05,120 --> 02:35:12,720
 No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.

3237
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:21,320
 Eight minutes to go into third, and Florence takes the opening second-half kickoff.

3238
02:35:21,720 --> 02:35:23,200
 John McDaniel, they put it in the end zone.

3239
02:35:23,340 --> 02:35:24,840
 Yeah, it's a great job to open the half.

3240
02:35:24,940 --> 02:35:29,380
 Seven plays, 78 yards, three minutes, 49 seconds, came off the clock.

3241
02:35:29,920 --> 02:35:33,040
 17-yard touchdown pass, Mahan to Kirkman.

3242
02:35:33,040 --> 02:35:37,020
 And, boy, this highlight, Costin Mahan was amazing in that drive.

3243
02:35:37,600 --> 02:35:38,540
 Here's the green-off kick.

3244
02:35:38,660 --> 02:35:39,840
 This one's going to be returnable.

3245
02:35:39,920 --> 02:35:41,040
 Nope, not going to be returnable.

3246
02:35:41,100 --> 02:35:43,900
 It's going to bounce all the way down and finally picked up at the one.

3247
02:35:43,960 --> 02:35:44,520
 He picks it up.

3248
02:35:44,700 --> 02:35:45,320
 He's in trouble.

3249
02:35:45,420 --> 02:35:47,740
 They got him back at the one-yard line and bring him down at the four.

3250
02:35:48,600 --> 02:35:53,300
 That ball died at the one like a Jeffrey Jones three-wood right there.

3251
02:35:54,300 --> 02:35:56,720
 It usually rolls, but I'm not going to give it too much of a hard time there.

3252
02:35:56,720 --> 02:35:57,180
 That's okay.

3253
02:35:57,280 --> 02:35:58,660
 I know Jeffrey Jones, his golf game.

3254
02:35:58,740 --> 02:36:00,220
 I promise you, there's three-pointer.

3255
02:36:00,220 --> 02:36:01,420
 His three-woods died.

3256
02:36:01,540 --> 02:36:02,400
 Trust me, I've seen it.

3257
02:36:02,980 --> 02:36:04,920
 7.57 to go, but that's a big play.

3258
02:36:05,000 --> 02:36:06,660
 That ball was destined for the end zone.

3259
02:36:07,180 --> 02:36:08,220
 They're going to give him J.J.

3260
02:36:08,280 --> 02:36:09,580
 Are they going to give him the five-yard line?

3261
02:36:09,660 --> 02:36:10,800
 They are going to give him the five.

3262
02:36:11,140 --> 02:36:11,700
 That's all right.

3263
02:36:11,960 --> 02:36:15,560
 Yeah, and I'll take that, but they were so close to catching him.

3264
02:36:17,860 --> 02:36:19,580
 Good athletic play to even get the five yards.

3265
02:36:19,680 --> 02:36:21,880
 I thought his knee was down when he went to pick it up, personally.

3266
02:36:22,000 --> 02:36:22,420
 Good point.

3267
02:36:22,600 --> 02:36:23,360
 You might be right.

3268
02:36:23,700 --> 02:36:24,480
 That's all the same.

3269
02:36:25,260 --> 02:36:26,780
 First and ten at the five.

3270
02:36:26,900 --> 02:36:30,960
 The Golden Tigers will have to go 95 yards, and boy, Mike, this is where this Falcon defense

3271
02:36:30,960 --> 02:36:34,540
 has a chance to come up big and maybe put some separation here.

3272
02:36:34,600 --> 02:36:35,020
 Let's see.

3273
02:36:36,040 --> 02:36:40,240
 Taurus Davis has been a handful at tailback, leaving with a man in motion.

3274
02:36:41,420 --> 02:36:43,740
 Going to lead with Davis on the trap play, and he breaks the tackle.

3275
02:36:43,820 --> 02:36:46,740
 He's off and loose at the 15-yard line, and he has it out of first down.

3276
02:36:47,240 --> 02:36:49,360
 As they push this far, they finally blow the whistle.

3277
02:36:49,480 --> 02:36:50,480
 That'll be a gain of 11.

3278
02:36:51,120 --> 02:36:52,940
 Man, he hits that hole fast, doesn't he?

3279
02:36:53,200 --> 02:36:58,300
 He certainly does, and behind those big blockers, you know, he's hard to see at first, but once

3280
02:36:58,300 --> 02:37:02,060
 he bursts through, you know, it's tough to catch.

3281
02:37:03,680 --> 02:37:07,020
 Linebackers, inside linebackers specifically, are going to have to attack that.

3282
02:37:07,020 --> 02:37:08,220
 That's their bread and butter play.

3283
02:37:08,320 --> 02:37:12,860
 It's a foundation play, and as soon as they see that hole, they're going to have to hit it fast.

3284
02:37:13,780 --> 02:37:16,500
 Darren Jones, the speedster, will come in at wide receiver.

3285
02:37:17,240 --> 02:37:21,220
 So they get a little breathing room, do the Tigers, Golden Tigers, out to the 17 with

3286
02:37:21,220 --> 02:37:22,340
 7.25 and counting.

3287
02:37:23,100 --> 02:37:27,440
 Jones will come wide left, wing back to the right, two backs in the backfield.

3288
02:37:29,060 --> 02:37:31,120
 Whitaker and Davis, Cleveland under center.

3289
02:37:31,500 --> 02:37:35,220
 Gives it again to Davis, this time looking, trying to cut back, breaks a tackle again to

3290
02:37:35,220 --> 02:37:38,180
 the 20, drags the Falcon across the 25 to the 28.

3291
02:37:39,880 --> 02:37:43,960
 Finally, Falcons break a tackle, make a tackle, Martinez makes the tackle.

3292
02:37:44,940 --> 02:37:50,680
 But right now, Davis is saying whatever Kayon Williams can do, I can do as well.

3293
02:37:54,740 --> 02:37:57,120
 Again, the 30-second play clock not working.

3294
02:37:57,740 --> 02:37:59,480
 It worked for the first quarter, and that was it.

3295
02:37:59,580 --> 02:38:00,680
 It worked at halftime, Kevin.

3296
02:38:00,740 --> 02:38:01,840
 They actually were winding it.

3297
02:38:02,260 --> 02:38:03,620
 Carter Clement into the game.

3298
02:38:03,880 --> 02:38:07,060
 He caught a touchdown on the first drive of the game for Russellville.

3299
02:38:08,680 --> 02:38:09,880
 He's wide to the right.

3300
02:38:10,640 --> 02:38:11,980
 Under center, Cleveland, the quarterback.

3301
02:38:12,180 --> 02:38:12,860
 They shift down.

3302
02:38:14,460 --> 02:38:15,300
 Going to give it off.

3303
02:38:15,420 --> 02:38:16,040
 Nope, play action.

3304
02:38:16,140 --> 02:38:18,180
 Wants to roll to his right and throw to the flats.

3305
02:38:18,280 --> 02:38:18,600
 Complete.

3306
02:38:18,720 --> 02:38:19,980
 Got it to Davis at the 32.

3307
02:38:20,080 --> 02:38:21,380
 Hit hard there and brought down.

3308
02:38:21,800 --> 02:38:23,920
 Good job of Petty Poole coming up and making the tackle.

3309
02:38:24,040 --> 02:38:24,860
 A game of about four.

3310
02:38:25,440 --> 02:38:28,500
 That's not a bad job of Irons and Petty Poole making a play right there, Mike.

3311
02:38:28,720 --> 02:38:33,020
 Yeah, that was a play where they got their guy in open space, and they converged pretty well

3312
02:38:33,020 --> 02:38:36,220
 to make sure that he didn't really have an opportunity to turn it up the field.

3313
02:38:36,700 --> 02:38:39,820
 It was a good play by both offense and defense.

3314
02:38:40,000 --> 02:38:43,360
 Jeffrey Jones, I'm about ready to make this wing-T offense illegal.

3315
02:38:43,540 --> 02:38:44,960
 That would be what we could do.

3316
02:38:45,100 --> 02:38:46,540
 That would be nice because it is tough to stop.

3317
02:38:46,560 --> 02:38:47,640
 Hats off to the defense.

3318
02:38:47,840 --> 02:38:56,060
 I mean, there's a reason why it works so well is because it just wears the defenses down.

3319
02:38:56,600 --> 02:38:59,540
 Second down and six at the Falcon Band trying to make noise.

3320
02:39:00,180 --> 02:39:00,940
 Three men in motion.

3321
02:39:01,080 --> 02:39:02,200
 Two to the left and one to the right.

3322
02:39:02,680 --> 02:39:03,600
 Two backs in the backfield.

3323
02:39:03,680 --> 02:39:06,360
 This time going to give it on the left on the counter, trying to get outside.

3324
02:39:06,500 --> 02:39:07,720
 And Whitaker, he's hit hard.

3325
02:39:08,080 --> 02:39:10,640
 Brought down, but he stretches out and got right to the 37.

3326
02:39:10,780 --> 02:39:11,900
 He'll be out two yards short.

3327
02:39:13,360 --> 02:39:15,440
 That was actually Hallmark on the carry, number 10.

3328
02:39:18,860 --> 02:39:20,020
 And a whistle and timeout.

3329
02:39:20,100 --> 02:39:21,840
 We may have the heat break coming, and it is.

3330
02:39:21,900 --> 02:39:22,980
 5.37 to go.

3331
02:39:23,380 --> 02:39:24,840
 Florence leads at 21-14.

3332
02:39:24,840 --> 02:39:25,580
 Don't go away.

3333
02:39:25,680 --> 02:39:26,320
 We're back in 30.

3334
02:39:29,260 --> 02:39:33,640
 Game day's coming, and your tailgate crew is counting on you.

3335
02:39:33,780 --> 02:39:37,240
 That's why Lost Pizza Company Shoals put together the tailgate playbooks,

3336
02:39:37,380 --> 02:39:41,500
 specialty pizzas, wing trays, and all built to feed a crowd.

3337
02:39:41,740 --> 02:39:45,000
 It's why we're the go-to pizza place in Florence, Alabama,

3338
02:39:45,120 --> 02:39:47,760
 now bringing that same lineup straight to your tailgate.

3339
02:39:47,880 --> 02:39:50,500
 Order for pickup or delivery to UNA tailgate only.

3340
02:39:50,500 --> 02:39:57,040
 Call 256-415-8693 or order online at lostpizza.com front slash shoals.

3341
02:39:57,140 --> 02:39:58,800
 From our playbook to your plate.

3342
02:40:05,140 --> 02:40:08,720
 5.37 to go here in the third quarter, excuse me.

3343
02:40:09,180 --> 02:40:11,980
 It was a fast first half tied at 14 at the half at Florence.

3344
02:40:12,060 --> 02:40:15,500
 It's answered with the opening drive, scoring, making it 21-14.

3345
02:40:16,000 --> 02:40:19,400
 But now the Golden Tigers face third and two at the 37.

3346
02:40:19,660 --> 02:40:23,400
 They started their strive at the five-yard line after a great kick by Greenhall.

3347
02:40:23,820 --> 02:40:25,620
 Nearly got the Golden Tigers in deep trouble.

3348
02:40:26,620 --> 02:40:28,920
 So the Golden Tigers trying to march 95 yards.

3349
02:40:29,460 --> 02:40:32,800
 On third and two, I would dare say wherever number five goes, I'm going.

3350
02:40:36,220 --> 02:40:38,060
 Actually, he's not even in the game right now, I don't think.

3351
02:40:39,780 --> 02:40:40,840
 Big backs in there.

3352
02:40:41,160 --> 02:40:42,500
 Going to read the belly up the middle.

3353
02:40:42,600 --> 02:40:43,780
 He's hit, not going to get it.

3354
02:40:44,120 --> 02:40:44,920
 Brought down a middle.

3355
02:40:45,760 --> 02:40:46,980
 Aiden White read it.

3356
02:40:47,300 --> 02:40:47,880
 Brought him down.

3357
02:40:47,940 --> 02:40:48,400
 No gain.

3358
02:40:48,460 --> 02:40:49,820
 And it's going to be fourth and three.

3359
02:40:49,900 --> 02:40:50,700
 He lost a yard.

3360
02:40:51,020 --> 02:40:51,940
 Back to the 36.

3361
02:40:51,940 --> 02:40:53,500
 That is a huge play, Mike.

3362
02:40:53,640 --> 02:40:54,760
 That was a huge play.

3363
02:40:54,840 --> 02:40:58,460
 Coming right off the timeout as well, Coach Higgins definitely dialed one up

3364
02:40:58,460 --> 02:40:59,600
 that he thought was going to work.

3365
02:40:59,900 --> 02:41:02,500
 And, you know, the Falcons did a great job getting off the field.

3366
02:41:02,900 --> 02:41:05,020
 Falcons are going to substitute on this information.

3367
02:41:05,360 --> 02:41:06,900
 Got to be really alert here.

3368
02:41:06,960 --> 02:41:09,500
 I'm still very nervous about this with Cleveland, the quarterback,

3369
02:41:10,160 --> 02:41:11,420
 looking to the sideline now.

3370
02:41:11,440 --> 02:41:13,620
 He's still looking to the sideline like, what are we going to do?

3371
02:41:14,000 --> 02:41:14,860
 Waiting to see.

3372
02:41:15,420 --> 02:41:17,340
 So I think they've got something up their sleeve.

3373
02:41:17,760 --> 02:41:18,900
 You better be alert here.

3374
02:41:19,840 --> 02:41:20,920
 On fourth and three.

3375
02:41:21,240 --> 02:41:21,740
 Good snap.

3376
02:41:21,800 --> 02:41:22,600
 He's going to punt it away.

3377
02:41:23,120 --> 02:41:23,980
 High-hanging kick.

3378
02:41:24,720 --> 02:41:26,120
 Goolsby just going to catch it, hopefully.

3379
02:41:26,560 --> 02:41:27,020
 And does.

3380
02:41:27,120 --> 02:41:28,040
 Fair catch at the 29.

3381
02:41:28,620 --> 02:41:31,380
 Kudos to Goolsby on a tough fair catch right there.

3382
02:41:31,580 --> 02:41:34,600
 With 442 to go here in the third quarter.

3383
02:41:34,780 --> 02:41:36,040
 Florence leads at 21-14.

3384
02:41:36,200 --> 02:41:39,620
 And, Mike, boy, this may be the biggest drive of the night for the Falcons right here.

3385
02:41:39,700 --> 02:41:41,120
 It certainly can be.

3386
02:41:41,320 --> 02:41:44,780
 You know, this is one of those opportunities to go up two scores.

3387
02:41:44,920 --> 02:41:47,540
 We haven't had either team go up two scores just yet.

3388
02:41:48,080 --> 02:41:53,060
 And being able to really run some clock here would be super important.

3389
02:41:53,240 --> 02:41:56,880
 Just really be a slow, methodical drive here for the Falcons would be great.

3390
02:41:57,080 --> 02:42:01,780
 So far, offensive line can really establish what they've been doing in this second half.

3391
02:42:01,900 --> 02:42:05,960
 Leaning, getting a yard to two downfield, and opening holes for the back.

3392
02:42:06,120 --> 02:42:07,040
 Johnson's the tailback.

3393
02:42:07,120 --> 02:42:08,420
 Shotgun formation for Mahan.

3394
02:42:08,760 --> 02:42:09,640
 Going to leave with Johnson.

3395
02:42:09,740 --> 02:42:10,000
 Up the middle.

3396
02:42:10,060 --> 02:42:11,120
 Got running room to the 35.

3397
02:42:11,240 --> 02:42:12,140
 Breaks a tackle to the 40.

3398
02:42:12,360 --> 02:42:13,460
 Stays on his feet to the 45.

3399
02:42:13,720 --> 02:42:14,520
 Makes another man miss.

3400
02:42:14,620 --> 02:42:15,840
 Cuts back left at the 50.

3401
02:42:15,980 --> 02:42:16,580
 At the 45.

3402
02:42:16,740 --> 02:42:17,480
 Somebody's chasing him.

3403
02:42:17,620 --> 02:42:18,400
 They may not catch him.

3404
02:42:18,720 --> 02:42:19,360
 Goose is loose.

3405
02:42:19,580 --> 02:42:20,400
 The goose is loose.

3406
02:42:20,620 --> 02:42:21,480
 He's down to the 10.

3407
02:42:24,160 --> 02:42:26,400
 Number zero would not be brought down.

3408
02:42:26,580 --> 02:42:29,540
 DeCarson Johnson all the way down to the five-yard line.

3409
02:42:29,980 --> 02:42:32,540
 That was a great job by DeCarson Johnson to get around the outside.

3410
02:42:32,540 --> 02:42:35,220
 Great job by the Falcons being able to block that play.

3411
02:42:35,640 --> 02:42:39,800
 But once DeCarson got into that second lane, he saw a cut to the left.

3412
02:42:39,900 --> 02:42:40,480
 And he made it.

3413
02:42:40,520 --> 02:42:41,800
 And he raced towards that pylon.

3414
02:42:42,360 --> 02:42:44,240
 He almost outran everybody.

3415
02:42:44,500 --> 02:42:47,800
 But Russell did a great job of hustling back to make that play.

3416
02:42:48,300 --> 02:42:49,440
 He'll stay in the game.

3417
02:42:49,540 --> 02:42:52,960
 Mahan, the quarterback, with 425 and counting in the third.

3418
02:42:54,060 --> 02:42:55,860
 Johnson still the tailback to the left.

3419
02:42:56,320 --> 02:42:57,460
 Johnson off the left side.

3420
02:42:57,520 --> 02:42:58,320
 Going to try to bounce it.

3421
02:42:58,380 --> 02:42:59,120
 Cuts it up in the middle.

3422
02:42:59,260 --> 02:43:00,900
 Pushes forward to the goal line.

3423
02:43:00,900 --> 02:43:01,760
 To the end zone.

3424
02:43:02,080 --> 02:43:03,040
 Touchdown, Florence.

3425
02:43:03,380 --> 02:43:05,560
 DeCarson Johnson, the senior, says,

3426
02:43:05,700 --> 02:43:08,080
 Give me the ball, and I'll give you six.

3427
02:43:09,740 --> 02:43:12,220
 That was a great job by DeCarson Johnson in the line.

3428
02:43:12,320 --> 02:43:13,880
 They really pushed and imposed their will.

3429
02:43:14,280 --> 02:43:15,940
 DeCarson did a great job.

3430
02:43:16,020 --> 02:43:19,360
 He got hit right away, but he would not be denied on that play.

3431
02:43:19,780 --> 02:43:22,220
 Fought his way all the way to the goal line in for a touchdown.

3432
02:43:23,880 --> 02:43:25,460
 Greenhall to attempt the PAT.

3433
02:43:29,320 --> 02:43:30,260
 Mahan to hold.

3434
02:43:31,260 --> 02:43:32,020
 Good snap.

3435
02:43:32,160 --> 02:43:32,600
 Good hold.

3436
02:43:32,760 --> 02:43:33,760
 Kick on the way.

3437
02:43:33,960 --> 02:43:34,240
 Kick.

3438
02:43:34,640 --> 02:43:36,260
 Once again is true.

3439
02:43:36,860 --> 02:43:38,840
 And Florence leaves it 28-14.

3440
02:43:38,960 --> 02:43:40,260
 416 to go in the third.

3441
02:43:40,420 --> 02:43:40,940
 This is foul.

3442
02:43:44,420 --> 02:43:47,660
 Florence Utilities now offers new bill pay options.

3445
02:43:56,180 --> 02:43:57,640

02:43:57,840 --> 02:43:58,760

3451
02:44:18,860 --> 02:44:23,120
 Florence takes a 28-14 lead over Russell, 416 to go in the third.

3452
02:44:23,460 --> 02:44:24,980
 At last drive, John McDaniel.

3453
02:44:25,880 --> 02:44:27,460
 Kevin, that one wasn't too complicated.

3454
02:44:27,460 --> 02:44:33,920
 It was two plays, 71 yards, 12 seconds officially that came off the clock.

3455
02:44:34,020 --> 02:44:39,040
 Big play was the 66-yard run by DeCarson Johnson.

3456
02:44:39,580 --> 02:44:42,760
 Greenhaw's kick will drive Russell back to the tube, but that's Davis.

3457
02:44:42,860 --> 02:44:44,000
 You've got to know where he is at the 10.

3458
02:44:44,060 --> 02:44:44,920
 He's got great speed.

3459
02:44:45,280 --> 02:44:46,840
 At the 15, look, and he's tripped up.

3460
02:44:46,900 --> 02:44:47,900
 He goes down at the 16.

3461
02:44:48,640 --> 02:44:50,260
 Momentum all over across the way.

3462
02:44:50,640 --> 02:44:52,480
 Jeffrey Jones with the guys in white and blue.

3463
02:44:52,580 --> 02:44:53,560
 They're pretty excited right now.

3464
02:44:54,780 --> 02:44:56,720
 Excellent tackle right there by Hayden Lotz.

3465
02:44:56,720 --> 02:45:00,520
 Hayden Lotz fought off that block because that's a dangerous returner they have right there.

3466
02:45:00,640 --> 02:45:03,880
 Hayden Lotz just broke off and made the solo tackle right there.

3467
02:45:04,020 --> 02:45:04,660
 Good job.

3468
02:45:04,980 --> 02:45:06,100
 Hayden, that's a great call.

3469
02:45:06,160 --> 02:45:07,280
 I can't brag on him enough.

3470
02:45:07,420 --> 02:45:11,220
 Hayden Lotz has been fighting and working as a linebacker on special teams,

3471
02:45:11,400 --> 02:45:13,360
 and I saw him last week do the same thing.

3472
02:45:13,620 --> 02:45:14,640
 He works hard on that.

3473
02:45:14,760 --> 02:45:15,800
 Great tackle by him.

3474
02:45:16,200 --> 02:45:18,040
 First and 10 at the 17.

3475
02:45:18,540 --> 02:45:19,960
 The Golden Tigers down by 14.

3476
02:45:20,080 --> 02:45:21,280
 Let's see if they panic here.

3477
02:45:21,360 --> 02:45:22,680
 They'll stick to their bread and butter.

3478
02:45:24,260 --> 02:45:25,360
 Going back to pass.

3479
02:45:25,460 --> 02:45:26,540
 Throw the quick out over here.

3480
02:45:26,640 --> 02:45:27,040
 Complete.

3481
02:45:27,180 --> 02:45:29,660
 Hit right now at the 17, 19-yard line.

3482
02:45:29,980 --> 02:45:32,160
 Great open field tackle by the Falcons right there.

3483
02:45:32,520 --> 02:45:34,400
 Tremendous job coming up and making a play.

3484
02:45:34,740 --> 02:45:36,000
 That's Dez Brown.

3485
02:45:36,220 --> 02:45:37,320
 Says no, no, no.

3486
02:45:37,400 --> 02:45:38,100
 Gain of two.

3487
02:45:38,480 --> 02:45:40,740
 Dez Brown did a great job of diagnosing that one.

3488
02:45:40,820 --> 02:45:43,140
 He broke down and he made sure he secured the tackle.

3489
02:45:43,340 --> 02:45:46,980
 He almost drove through him and almost missed that tackle,

3490
02:45:47,100 --> 02:45:49,700
 but he re-secured himself and set that up.

3491
02:45:50,040 --> 02:45:51,600
 That was a great job in the open field.

3492
02:45:51,720 --> 02:45:52,580
 I tell you guys all the time,

3493
02:45:52,680 --> 02:45:55,180
 defensive backs, I just want you to get them on the ground.

3494
02:45:55,460 --> 02:45:56,480
 I don't need a big hit.

3495
02:45:56,860 --> 02:45:58,280
 We just need to play another snap.

3496
02:45:58,540 --> 02:46:00,740
 Jaden Allred will move to the right cornerback.

3497
02:46:00,920 --> 02:46:02,340
 Brown will take the wide side of the field.

3498
02:46:03,260 --> 02:46:04,420
 Also in the game for Florence,

3499
02:46:04,840 --> 02:46:06,660
 Caden Ward on the second-down seven play.

3500
02:46:07,640 --> 02:46:09,340
 Look at the pitch, quick pitch to the outside.

3501
02:46:09,440 --> 02:46:10,160
 Trying to get outside.

3502
02:46:10,280 --> 02:46:11,140
 Can't do it with Irons.

3503
02:46:11,140 --> 02:46:12,960
 He's going to bring him down and drag him down.

3504
02:46:13,040 --> 02:46:13,620
 No game.

3505
02:46:15,160 --> 02:46:18,440
 Jaden Irons said, no, no, no, the door is closed.

3506
02:46:18,560 --> 02:46:20,900
 And this Falcon defense starting to play with a little moxie.

3507
02:46:21,580 --> 02:46:25,940
 Yeah, but being able to get around the edge on this Falcon defense is tough.

3508
02:46:26,040 --> 02:46:28,120
 They're pretty quick and athletic.

3509
02:46:28,460 --> 02:46:31,360
 And we saw that quick pitch right away kind of get blown up.

3510
02:46:31,880 --> 02:46:34,780
 But this is going to be an interesting third-down play here for the Falcons.

3511
02:46:34,920 --> 02:46:37,040
 Three minutes and go here in the third quarter and counting.

3512
02:46:37,720 --> 02:46:40,960
 Into the game for Russell, the speedster, Carter Clement.

3513
02:46:43,960 --> 02:46:47,020
 And the Falcon crowd across the way going crazy right now.

3514
02:46:47,100 --> 02:46:49,500
 The student section making a lot of noise.

3515
02:46:50,120 --> 02:46:53,020
 Listen to them across the way on this third down and eighth play.

3516
02:46:53,780 --> 02:46:54,940
 Cleveland back to pass.

3517
02:46:55,140 --> 02:46:55,660
 Boy, it's coming.

3518
02:46:55,740 --> 02:46:56,160
 He's in trouble.

3519
02:46:56,240 --> 02:46:57,080
 He's got to get rid of it.

3520
02:46:57,120 --> 02:46:58,520
 He's got a man out here, and he dropped it.

3521
02:46:58,860 --> 02:46:59,620
 He heard footsteps.

3522
02:46:59,860 --> 02:47:00,940
 Des Brown was coming.

3523
02:47:01,300 --> 02:47:02,340
 And it's fourth down.

3524
02:47:02,940 --> 02:47:06,580
 Again, this Falcon team making Russell a little uncomfortable right now.

3525
02:47:06,840 --> 02:47:07,200
 Absolutely.

3526
02:47:07,560 --> 02:47:10,680
 The panic button might have to be engaged here for Russell.

3527
02:47:10,780 --> 02:47:12,940
 Well, that was a big drop there on third down.

3528
02:47:12,940 --> 02:47:22,120
 He probably would have had the first down on that play, which, you know, at this stage of the game, heading into the fourth quarter, I mean, only 235 left in this third.

3529
02:47:22,800 --> 02:47:24,960
 That was a big third-down play there.

3530
02:47:25,260 --> 02:47:26,180
 Goolsby's back deep.

3531
02:47:26,400 --> 02:47:27,440
 If I'm – this is me.

3532
02:47:27,500 --> 02:47:29,540
 If I'm Florida's coaches, I tell Goolsby, don't touch it.

3533
02:47:29,920 --> 02:47:30,440
 Don't touch it.

3534
02:47:30,460 --> 02:47:31,740
 Don't want to have any turnovers here.

3535
02:47:31,840 --> 02:47:32,780
 Your offense is clicking.

3536
02:47:33,180 --> 02:47:34,640
 Just let it roll no matter what.

3537
02:47:34,780 --> 02:47:35,820
 Cleveland will kick it away.

3538
02:47:36,460 --> 02:47:37,020
 Good snap.

3539
02:47:37,140 --> 02:47:37,900
 He'll get it away.

3540
02:47:38,340 --> 02:47:39,160
 Line drive kick.

3541
02:47:39,300 --> 02:47:40,360
 Goolsby, though, will have time.

3542
02:47:40,400 --> 02:47:42,060
 He can catch it and will at the 47.

3543
02:47:42,400 --> 02:47:45,720
 At the 50, gets across into Russell territory, gets back to the 47.

3544
02:47:46,080 --> 02:47:47,040
 Good job by Goolsby.

3545
02:47:47,140 --> 02:47:48,100
 Give him credit for that.

3546
02:47:48,400 --> 02:47:50,200
 And that will bring up first and 10 at the 47.

3547
02:47:50,380 --> 02:47:51,320
 Flag on the play.

3548
02:47:51,840 --> 02:47:53,220
 Let's see what the flag is for.

3549
02:47:54,440 --> 02:47:55,920
 That was a good job by Goolsby, though.

3550
02:47:56,840 --> 02:48:05,000
 Upon contact, he really covered up the ball well and made sure that there were no silly, you know, drops there on that turf.

3551
02:48:05,000 --> 02:48:10,000
 Don't forget the AHSAA scoreboard show tonight from 10 to midnight here on 93.9 The Score.

3552
02:48:11,380 --> 02:48:14,620
 James Moody, Blair Krieger will be in the studios giving you updates as well.

3553
02:48:15,440 --> 02:48:18,440
 So it's a personal foul against Florence back at the 27.

3554
02:48:20,380 --> 02:48:24,360
 So the personal foul will move it back about 15 yards.

3555
02:48:24,460 --> 02:48:28,120
 So instead of being in Russell territory, it'll move back a good bit.

3556
02:48:28,520 --> 02:48:30,560
 But Jeffrey Jones, again, up two touchdowns.

3557
02:48:30,600 --> 02:48:37,520
 This is a chance with .226 to go to maybe make something happen again and really put this thing in big, big shape.

3558
02:48:37,820 --> 02:48:39,480
 Bonehead play right there on that punt return.

3559
02:48:39,620 --> 02:48:41,040
 That wasn't very smart.

3560
02:48:41,420 --> 02:48:44,340
 But, you know, we've got a chance right here.

3561
02:48:44,400 --> 02:48:45,880
 Our running backs are just dialed in.

3562
02:48:47,160 --> 02:48:51,140
 Carson Johnson has impressed me tonight more than he's ever has before, and that's saying a lot.

3563
02:48:51,360 --> 02:48:54,860
 Jackson Mays wide to the right on his first down play.

3564
02:48:56,120 --> 02:48:57,100
 Williams is the tailback.

3565
02:48:57,360 --> 02:48:59,300
 Gets it, tries to cut it up the middle, nowhere to go.

3566
02:48:59,380 --> 02:49:00,980
 He slammed down right to the line of scrimmage.

3567
02:49:01,520 --> 02:49:02,480
 Tremendous defense there.

3568
02:49:02,560 --> 02:49:04,480
 Their middle linebacker come up and make a huge play.

3569
02:49:04,980 --> 02:49:07,880
 Braxton Duncan, 5'10", 170 is what they list him.

3570
02:49:08,180 --> 02:49:10,640
 I would dare say he's a little bit bigger than they list him.

3571
02:49:11,280 --> 02:49:14,180
 But it brings up second down and 10, no game.

3572
02:49:14,180 --> 02:49:17,280
 I don't think he's bigger than that, but he plays bigger than that, that's for sure.

3573
02:49:18,680 --> 02:49:21,060
 Two minutes and counting here in the third quarter.

3574
02:49:21,180 --> 02:49:22,540
 Florence up 28-14.

3575
02:49:23,160 --> 02:49:24,480
 Two wide receivers again.

3576
02:49:25,300 --> 02:49:27,700
 With no play clock, Bayhan takes his time.

3577
02:49:27,840 --> 02:49:29,080
 Miss to the left.

3578
02:49:30,060 --> 02:49:31,540
 Puts a man in motion left now.

3579
02:49:32,880 --> 02:49:33,660
 Gets the snap.

3580
02:49:33,740 --> 02:49:34,640
 Going to leave it with Williams.

3581
02:49:34,960 --> 02:49:35,520
 Nowhere to go.

3582
02:49:35,600 --> 02:49:35,980
 Bounces.

3583
02:49:36,600 --> 02:49:36,960
 Looking.

3584
02:49:37,080 --> 02:49:37,640
 Nowhere to get.

3585
02:49:37,760 --> 02:49:38,560
 Only maybe two.

3586
02:49:38,700 --> 02:49:39,420
 Gets to the 41.

3587
02:49:39,420 --> 02:49:44,360
 So the middle has gotten clogged up, and it brings up third and eight.

3588
02:49:44,780 --> 02:49:45,980
 You're up two touchdowns.

3589
02:49:46,060 --> 02:49:47,220
 You played a little conservative there.

3590
02:49:47,340 --> 02:49:49,260
 Do you unleash the passing game here?

3591
02:49:50,140 --> 02:49:57,380
 I mean, we worked down the field last drive with the passing game, or two drives ago.

3592
02:49:57,980 --> 02:49:59,680
 We ran it last time.

3593
02:49:59,960 --> 02:50:02,480
 So, I mean, on this third down, you're needing eight yards.

3594
02:50:02,600 --> 02:50:04,720
 I think you can give it to your quarterback and make him make a play.

3595
02:50:05,000 --> 02:50:06,320
 Block at 115 and counting.

3596
02:50:06,500 --> 02:50:08,680
 Mayhan will put two wide receivers to the short side.

3597
02:50:09,400 --> 02:50:12,560
 I don't think he passed it with two wide receivers to the short side, but that's just me.

3598
02:50:13,480 --> 02:50:14,340
 Going to look to pass.

3599
02:50:14,420 --> 02:50:15,020
 The quick screen.

3600
02:50:15,120 --> 02:50:15,800
 Got it to Mays.

3601
02:50:15,880 --> 02:50:17,500
 Nowhere to go, and he's knocked down immediately.

3602
02:50:18,620 --> 02:50:20,560
 Couldn't get a block over there on the side.

3603
02:50:21,140 --> 02:50:23,040
 Missed the block, and it brings up fourth down.

3604
02:50:24,660 --> 02:50:28,440
 Yeah, he maybe shouldn't have thrown it to the wide side, the short side.

3605
02:50:29,880 --> 02:50:35,640
 Fourth down, and with 51 seconds counting, Florence will have to punt it away to the dangerous Taurus Davis, up by 14.

3606
02:50:38,060 --> 02:50:43,020
 Man, that was a chance I felt like the Falcons could maybe put this one away, but now, how are you going?

3607
02:50:43,100 --> 02:50:46,060
 It's a lot of football left to play here in the late third and early fourth.

3608
02:50:46,240 --> 02:50:47,420
 Look, I'm not a coach.

3609
02:50:47,500 --> 02:50:51,600
 I don't pretend to know, you know, all the ins and outs of the game, but they're coming for it, by the way.

3610
02:50:51,840 --> 02:50:52,320
 Good snap.

3611
02:50:52,380 --> 02:50:53,560
 Got to get rid of it, and blocked.

3612
02:50:54,000 --> 02:50:54,740
 It's blocked.

3613
02:50:55,180 --> 02:50:57,420
 Back and out of bounds at the 21-yard line.

3614
02:50:58,380 --> 02:51:03,740
 Forgive me for interrupting you, but they had 11-10 on there, and they saw that a little slow getting it away,

3615
02:51:03,940 --> 02:51:07,260
 and right at the middle, they blocked it, and a big change of position here.

3616
02:51:07,800 --> 02:51:14,000
 Yeah, I was just getting to the point to where we had an opportunity to shift momentum big time

3617
02:51:14,000 --> 02:51:18,460
 and really put, and we got very conservative, and then we got very slow on that play,

3618
02:51:18,460 --> 02:51:24,640
 and now that one big play, momentum shifts to their side, and we're not quite in the fourth quarter yet.

3619
02:51:24,680 --> 02:51:27,660
 It was almost like we were trying to take a knee here a little too early.

3620
02:51:27,800 --> 02:51:28,380
 I'll be honest.

3621
02:51:28,440 --> 02:51:30,480
 We had three up backs, and he just split them.

3622
02:51:30,900 --> 02:51:34,700
 He went right between them, didn't pick him up, and he makes the ball, but they had a lot of pressure coming.

3623
02:51:34,840 --> 02:51:40,280
 A lot of eyes to see, and now the Tigers at the 21 will have it first and 10, and you can see they've got momentum.

3624
02:51:40,980 --> 02:51:43,140
 They're proud on their feet, one back in the backfield.

3625
02:51:44,720 --> 02:51:45,980
 Bring a man in motion to the right.

3626
02:51:46,360 --> 02:51:50,540
 Going to run the Sally play back to the left on reverse, trying to get Davis loose, and he's hit only a game of about two.

3627
02:51:50,880 --> 02:51:55,820
 Great job by Martinez there, who tripped him up at the 20, giving him about a three-yard gain.

3628
02:51:56,220 --> 02:51:58,940
 Bring up second down, and they just keep moving the ball forward.

3629
02:51:59,340 --> 02:52:00,500
 Four-yard gain, looks like.

3630
02:52:00,560 --> 02:52:01,340
 No, it's at the 18.

3631
02:52:01,940 --> 02:52:06,860
 Second down, and we'll call it seven to go, and that'll do it, I think, for the third quarter.

3632
02:52:06,860 --> 02:52:11,880
 Remember, as the clock runs down to five, four, three, two, one, and we've got three in the books and one left.

3633
02:52:12,300 --> 02:52:14,860
 Florence leaves at 28-14, but don't go away.

3634
02:52:14,940 --> 02:52:15,700
 It's not over yet.

3635
02:52:16,100 --> 02:52:17,840
 Falcon football returns in 30 seconds.

3636
02:52:19,080 --> 02:52:20,580
 Craving authentic Mexican flavor?

3637
02:52:21,080 --> 02:52:26,660
 Dive into delicious in Hugo's Mexican Restaurant, 4160 Florence Boulevard, at the entrance to Kendall Gardens.

 Start off with fresh tortilla chips and Hugo's famous cheese dip.

3639
02:52:31,300 --> 02:52:35,460
 Then enjoy mouth-watering tacos, enchiladas, and, of course, Hugo's famous fajitas and more,

3640
02:52:35,780 --> 02:52:37,000
 all in the vibrant atmosphere.

3641
02:52:37,620 --> 02:52:42,540

3642
02:52:43,100 --> 02:52:45,620
 Hugo's Mexican Restaurant, where every meal is a fiesta.

3643
02:52:46,160 --> 02:52:49,820
 See you soon at 4160 Florence Boulevard, at the entrance to Kendall Gardens.

3644
02:52:51,340 --> 02:52:54,680
 Bell Green, leading Red Bay 13-12.

3645
02:52:55,560 --> 02:52:58,300
 Central and Lauderdale County tied at 14.

3646
02:52:58,400 --> 02:53:00,060
 Muscle Shoals leads Austin 23-0.

3647
02:53:00,060 --> 02:53:03,160
 Lauderdale County leading Central 14-7.

3648
02:53:04,000 --> 02:53:04,840
 That's an old one.

3649
02:53:05,080 --> 02:53:07,240
 The Deschers leading Hamilton 28-13.

3650
02:53:07,800 --> 02:53:09,720
 Bob Jones leading Grissom 14-0.

3651
02:53:09,900 --> 02:53:12,120
 Columbia hanging in with Fort Payne 14-all.

3652
02:53:13,000 --> 02:53:15,200
 Missouri and Kansas tied at 14.

3653
02:53:15,420 --> 02:53:17,040
 And the Phillies leading the Braves 3-1.

3654
02:53:18,800 --> 02:53:26,140
 Here at Colton Stadium, Florence leads Russell 28-14 behind a 14-point third quarter.

3655
02:53:26,800 --> 02:53:32,820
 Mahan found Kirkman for a 17-yard score, and DeCarson Johnson with a big 60-something-yard run.

3656
02:53:33,020 --> 02:53:37,340
 Then a five-yard run to end it makes it 28-14.

3657
02:53:37,340 --> 02:53:44,200
 Right now, Russell, after the block punt, has it at the 19 with a second down and seven.

3658
02:53:46,040 --> 02:53:50,660
 Good job by the Falcons manager coming out and giving the referees water.

3659
02:53:50,800 --> 02:53:51,500
 They need it, too.

3660
02:53:51,900 --> 02:53:52,620
 It's a five-man crew.

3661
02:53:52,700 --> 02:53:54,380
 Not an easy game to do on a human night.

3662
02:53:55,120 --> 02:53:56,820
 Going right to the scoreboard end zone.

3663
02:53:56,920 --> 02:53:57,760
 Jeffrey Jones is right there.

3664
02:53:57,840 --> 02:53:59,000
 J.J., this is a big play.

3665
02:54:00,100 --> 02:54:00,740
 Huge play.

3666
02:54:01,020 --> 02:54:02,020
 Huge play right here.

3667
02:54:02,220 --> 02:54:03,680
 You know, you get the band.

3668
02:54:03,860 --> 02:54:05,540
 They're going to be playing right in front of the Florence band.

3669
02:54:05,660 --> 02:54:08,340
 The Florence band is playing, and the Crittons' two-six is loud, too.

3670
02:54:09,620 --> 02:54:10,860
 Second down and seven.

3671
02:54:12,800 --> 02:54:14,700
 Two backs in the backfield.

3672
02:54:14,820 --> 02:54:17,100
 Under center, as always, on this wing-two offense is Cleveland.

3673
02:54:18,360 --> 02:54:19,480
 Cleveland, we're looking to pass.

3674
02:54:19,560 --> 02:54:20,760
 No, he's going to hand it off, and Davis Cronin.

3675
02:54:20,820 --> 02:54:21,260
 Get outside.

3676
02:54:21,360 --> 02:54:21,700
 He's not.

3677
02:54:21,740 --> 02:54:22,300
 He's going to lose.

3678
02:54:22,380 --> 02:54:23,700
 Yards and slung out of bounds.

3679
02:54:24,240 --> 02:54:25,580
 He loses about four or five.

3680
02:54:25,860 --> 02:54:26,900
 Martinez, I believe it was.

3681
02:54:26,980 --> 02:54:27,960
 Maybe it was at Burski.

3682
02:54:28,320 --> 02:54:29,800
 Burski come up and made the play.

3683
02:54:30,700 --> 02:54:33,020
 And Burski, with his first time he's called his name tonight,

3684
02:54:33,020 --> 02:54:34,280
 they've gone away from him a lot.

3685
02:54:34,580 --> 02:54:37,840
 But he makes a loss of about four, and it brings up third and 12.

3686
02:54:39,000 --> 02:54:40,780
 There's a huge play there for the Falcons

3687
02:54:40,780 --> 02:54:42,600
 to be able to get them back behind the sticks,

3688
02:54:43,140 --> 02:54:45,240
 making this a little bit more difficult third down.

3689
02:54:45,340 --> 02:54:47,140
 But, you know, it's four-down territory,

3690
02:54:47,300 --> 02:54:49,360
 especially with this game as late as it is.

3691
02:54:49,720 --> 02:54:51,120
 Clement will check into the game.

3692
02:54:51,600 --> 02:54:54,540
 The Falcon fans and student section, they are here loud and proud,

3693
02:54:54,580 --> 02:54:56,360
 and they're about to get a lot louder across the way.

3694
02:54:57,160 --> 02:55:00,420
 One receiver to the right, two wing-backs, one back in the backfield.

3695
02:55:00,920 --> 02:55:02,020
 Bit of man in motion to the right.

3696
02:55:02,220 --> 02:55:04,940
 Look to roll to the right is Cleveland, trying to find the flood route.

3697
02:55:05,080 --> 02:55:06,740
 Throws it quickly down the field and incomplete.

3698
02:55:07,760 --> 02:55:09,180
 Falcons got pressure on him.

3699
02:55:09,220 --> 02:55:10,160
 He had to get rid of it.

3700
02:55:10,480 --> 02:55:14,480
 He saw Jaden White coming with intentions, bad intentions.

3701
02:55:14,800 --> 02:55:17,380
 And he throws it away, and it brings up fourth down

3702
02:55:17,380 --> 02:55:19,380
 and 12 to go for the Golden Tigers.

3703
02:55:19,860 --> 02:55:22,600
 Great job by the Falcons' secondary to stay with that wide receiver

3704
02:55:22,600 --> 02:55:25,500
 as he was moving out to the right there towards that pylon.

3705
02:55:25,760 --> 02:55:27,840
 He was covered up big time.

3706
02:55:28,080 --> 02:55:29,340
 They just had to throw that one away.

3707
02:55:29,340 --> 02:55:32,700
 But on this fourth and 12 is a big play in this game.

3708
02:55:33,060 --> 02:55:35,440
 I would not be surprised to see some type of throwback play here.

3709
02:55:35,520 --> 02:55:37,860
 They've been rolling out, trying to slip someone on the other side.

3710
02:55:37,900 --> 02:55:38,800
 Something we haven't seen.

3711
02:55:38,880 --> 02:55:40,060
 They definitely got it in their playbook.

3712
02:55:40,400 --> 02:55:45,300
 The one thing that Wing T doesn't do, doesn't flood routes against the defense,

3713
02:55:45,380 --> 02:55:46,200
 it's only one or two.

3714
02:55:46,480 --> 02:55:47,780
 They try to catch you off guard.

3715
02:55:47,880 --> 02:55:48,400
 Here we go.

3716
02:55:48,480 --> 02:55:49,280
 Fourth and 12.

3717
02:55:52,280 --> 02:55:52,840
 Under center.

3718
02:55:52,980 --> 02:55:53,960
 Like the pass again.

3719
02:55:54,080 --> 02:55:54,760
 Rolling to the left.

3720
02:55:55,060 --> 02:55:55,320
 Looking.

3721
02:55:55,460 --> 02:55:56,460
 Throws it down the middle of the field.

3722
02:55:56,540 --> 02:55:57,840
 As a man out there, he missed it.

3723
02:55:58,840 --> 02:55:59,200
 Incomplete.

3724
02:55:59,680 --> 02:56:00,680
 And Florence holds.

3725
02:56:01,140 --> 02:56:03,420
 He had him open, but he underthrew him.

3726
02:56:03,680 --> 02:56:05,080
 And the Falcon defense celebrates.

3727
02:56:05,600 --> 02:56:06,640
 And that was huge.

3728
02:56:07,220 --> 02:56:10,400
 Yeah, the Falcon, the defender, I didn't catch his number, came away,

3729
02:56:10,520 --> 02:56:12,360
 batted that one away in the secondary.

3730
02:56:12,620 --> 02:56:15,300
 That was a huge stand there for the Falcons after that punt.

3731
02:56:15,520 --> 02:56:16,760
 Jeffrey Jones, did you catch it?

3732
02:56:16,760 --> 02:56:17,540
 Katie Ward.

3733
02:56:17,740 --> 02:56:18,420
 Great play.

3734
02:56:18,420 --> 02:56:18,820
 Great play.

3735
02:56:18,820 --> 02:56:28,820
 We'll give away now maybe to number 10 on offense.

3736
02:56:28,940 --> 02:56:30,680
 No, it's going to be, yep, I think it is.

3737
02:56:30,840 --> 02:56:31,140
 DeCarson.

3738
02:56:31,460 --> 02:56:32,120
 DeCarson, yeah.

3739
02:56:32,280 --> 02:56:33,540
 Yep, DeCarson Johnson back in.

3740
02:56:34,260 --> 02:56:34,720
 All right.

3741
02:56:35,140 --> 02:56:37,060
 First and 10 for the Falcons at the 23.

3742
02:56:37,840 --> 02:56:39,620
 Three wide outs to the left, one to the right.

3743
02:56:40,520 --> 02:56:42,780
 Now the Falcons are bringing a wide receiver into tight end.

3744
02:56:42,980 --> 02:56:44,480
 Going to lead with Johnson up the middle.

3745
02:56:44,580 --> 02:56:47,280
 Found runner in to the 25, 30, 33, 34.

3746
02:56:47,420 --> 02:56:48,840
 Get enough for a first down.

3747
02:56:49,280 --> 02:56:52,980
 Right now, DeCarson Johnson has another giddy up in his legs right now, Mike.

3748
02:56:53,280 --> 02:56:57,600
 Yeah, he found the hole there and has made some great cuts

3749
02:56:57,600 --> 02:57:00,420
 with some beautiful vision, being able to make some guys miss.

3750
02:57:01,340 --> 02:57:03,080
 And first down here for the Falcons.

3751
02:57:03,120 --> 02:57:07,220
 Hey, Kevin, we've seen in the past three games, two backs in the backfield.

3752
02:57:08,060 --> 02:57:09,520
 We haven't seen much of that tonight.

3753
02:57:09,760 --> 02:57:11,300
 Is that a specific game play?

3754
02:57:11,300 --> 02:57:11,640
 A little bit.

3755
02:57:11,820 --> 02:57:13,500
 A.J. Hines is not playing tonight.

3756
02:57:13,600 --> 02:57:14,440
 He's been injured some.

3757
02:57:14,760 --> 02:57:16,600
 So a little bit of that is to rest the back.

3758
02:57:16,600 --> 02:57:18,960
 Don't have the three back right now, so let's go with one.

3759
02:57:19,060 --> 02:57:19,900
 And I think that's what they saw.

3760
02:57:20,240 --> 02:57:23,180
 And maybe something saw on the Russellville defense, first and 10.

3761
02:57:23,560 --> 02:57:24,340
 Going to look to throw.

3762
02:57:24,680 --> 02:57:25,860
 Looking, he's thrown to the left.

3763
02:57:25,920 --> 02:57:27,000
 Man, he's going to run it.

3764
02:57:27,220 --> 02:57:28,540
 Trying to get outside to the 30.

3765
02:57:28,780 --> 02:57:29,440
 Flag on the plate.

3766
02:57:29,520 --> 02:57:30,740
 He's hit hard around the 37.

3767
02:57:30,980 --> 02:57:32,560
 It's going to be a holding call against Florence.

3768
02:57:33,000 --> 02:57:35,520
 As the fans yelled, as the coaching staff yelled,

3769
02:57:35,900 --> 02:57:37,680
 finally the yellow flag said, okay, I'll throw it.

3770
02:57:37,680 --> 02:57:40,640
 And it's a similar play to what happened the last time.

3771
02:57:40,740 --> 02:57:45,500
 As they were rolling out, the offensive lineman just followed him and just held.

3772
02:57:45,600 --> 02:57:47,260
 I mean, it was the clearest thing.

3773
02:57:47,340 --> 02:57:48,780
 He's got to disengage at that point.

3774
02:57:48,920 --> 02:57:51,440
 That's 20 yards now on that blocker.

3775
02:57:52,920 --> 02:57:57,760
 It's hard when you're planning on him outside and keeping the pocket.

3776
02:57:58,240 --> 02:58:00,080
 And next thing you know, your quarterback's outside.

3777
02:58:00,200 --> 02:58:01,020
 And you're like, wait a minute.

3778
02:58:01,320 --> 02:58:02,200
 He's disengaging.

3779
02:58:02,600 --> 02:58:04,160
 You've got to get some help from the receivers on that.

3780
02:58:04,360 --> 02:58:06,760
 You know, when they see him come out of that pocket running like that,

3781
02:58:06,840 --> 02:58:08,980
 they need to get loose.

3782
02:58:09,180 --> 02:58:11,480
 They need to either come up if they're deep or go deep if they're short.

3783
02:58:11,760 --> 02:58:13,580
 They didn't really know what to do there

3784
02:58:13,580 --> 02:58:15,300
 because they were expecting the ball to be thrown so quick.

3785
02:58:15,380 --> 02:58:16,180
 They didn't improvise.

3786
02:58:16,360 --> 02:58:17,260
 We've got to work on that.

3787
02:58:17,440 --> 02:58:20,400
 Kirkman, Elliott, and Goolsby now in wide receiver to the right side,

3788
02:58:20,460 --> 02:58:21,320
 the short side of the field.

3789
02:58:21,780 --> 02:58:25,680
 It will be a first and 20 play of the clock to run under 11 minutes in the game.

3790
02:58:25,780 --> 02:58:27,020
 Florence leaves at 28-14.

3791
02:58:28,080 --> 02:58:29,400
 Johnson's going to get it off the left.

3792
02:58:29,460 --> 02:58:30,160
 He lost his footing.

3793
02:58:30,300 --> 02:58:31,000
 He tries to get away.

3794
02:58:31,080 --> 02:58:31,440
 He can't.

3795
02:58:31,480 --> 02:58:32,440
 Just go down, young man.

3796
02:58:32,900 --> 02:58:35,420
 Swarmed in by Tigers to make sure he's okay.

3797
02:58:35,420 --> 02:58:37,160
 He got twisted and turned a lot.

3798
02:58:37,600 --> 02:58:38,760
 That's where a player can get hurt.

3799
02:58:39,360 --> 02:58:42,200
 He almost kept his feet after the seventh guy hit him.

3800
02:58:42,460 --> 02:58:46,940
 I don't know how he kept his feet, but he's just a tough back,

3801
02:58:47,040 --> 02:58:48,720
 and he will not go down on that first blow.

3802
02:58:49,480 --> 02:58:50,180
 10-30.

3803
02:58:50,300 --> 02:58:52,520
 The Falcons can take this down to about the 10-minute mark

3804
02:58:52,520 --> 02:58:55,260
 before they snap it on the second down play.

3805
02:58:55,700 --> 02:58:59,400
 Leading at 28-14, but they face second down and a whole bunch.

3806
02:58:59,520 --> 02:59:00,680
 I mean a whole bunch.

3807
02:59:00,740 --> 02:59:03,320
 They've got to go about 20 yards to the Russell 44.

3808
02:59:03,720 --> 02:59:05,320
 That's Royal Avenue to go, I believe.

3809
02:59:05,480 --> 02:59:06,140
 It is at home.

3810
02:59:06,200 --> 02:59:07,060
 I'm not sure over here.

3811
02:59:08,060 --> 02:59:09,120
 It might be Highway 43.

3812
02:59:09,360 --> 02:59:13,080
 Johnson is the tailback still.

3813
02:59:13,880 --> 02:59:15,040
 Mahan puts him to the right.

3814
02:59:15,320 --> 02:59:16,660
 One wide receiver to each side.

3815
02:59:17,400 --> 02:59:18,900
 And timeout taken by Kenny Morrison.

3816
02:59:19,240 --> 02:59:20,080
 We'll do the same.

3817
02:59:20,480 --> 02:59:22,080
 Florence leads at 28-14.

3818
02:59:22,320 --> 02:59:22,900
 Don't go away.

3819
02:59:23,000 --> 02:59:23,680
 We're back in 30.

3820
02:59:25,580 --> 02:59:28,880

3826
02:59:55,740 --> 02:59:59,840
 240 Cox Creek Parkway in Florence and 3312 Woodward Avenue in Muscle Shoals.

3827
03:00:00,200 --> 03:00:10,260
 The voice of the Florence High School Falcons, WYTK-FM, Rogersville, Athens, Decatur, the Shoals, 93-9, the score.

3828
03:00:14,420 --> 03:00:21,420
 Right from Golden Tigers Stadium in Russellville, Alabama, Florence and Russellville renewing an old rivalry now that they're region opponents.

3829
03:00:21,980 --> 03:00:22,780
 And it's been a good one.

3830
03:00:23,260 --> 03:00:26,160
 Florence leads at 28-14 over the Golden Tigers.

3831
03:00:26,160 --> 03:00:30,300
 They have the football, but they've got about 22 yards to go.

3832
03:00:30,920 --> 03:00:32,320
 The ball's sitting at the 22.

3833
03:00:32,560 --> 03:00:33,900
 They have to get to the 44.

3834
03:00:35,280 --> 03:00:37,620
 Johnson remains at tailback on his second-down play.

3835
03:00:38,340 --> 03:00:39,160
 And play action.

3836
03:00:39,480 --> 03:00:43,360
 Man drops, looks, steps up, lets it go down the right sideline, going for Goolsby.

3837
03:00:43,440 --> 03:00:44,080
 Can he get to it?

3838
03:00:44,100 --> 03:00:44,560
 He can't.

3839
03:00:44,980 --> 03:00:46,120
 About two yards overthrown.

3840
03:00:46,220 --> 03:00:47,460
 He led him really well.

3841
03:00:47,760 --> 03:00:51,120
 Double coverage, but Goolsby had a step if he could have got it to him.

3842
03:00:51,620 --> 03:00:55,300
 Goolsby did have a step there, and Costin did the right thing there.

3843
03:00:55,300 --> 03:00:58,560
 And he lofted it up to only where his receiver can get it.

3844
03:00:58,700 --> 03:00:59,760
 He overthrew it.

3845
03:00:59,760 --> 03:01:02,760
 You'd rather overthrow that than underthrow that 100% of the time.

3846
03:01:03,300 --> 03:01:07,900
 And so, you know, Mahan taking that shot deep, Goolsby just out of the reach.

3847
03:01:08,340 --> 03:01:16,760
 You know, when you had a punt block the last time and you're up 14, do you take a shot here again and see if you can get something down the field?

3848
03:01:16,840 --> 03:01:17,240
 I would.

3849
03:01:17,660 --> 03:01:18,000
 Absolutely.

3850
03:01:19,160 --> 03:01:20,240
 Third and 22.

3851
03:01:23,100 --> 03:01:24,100
 Johnson to tailback.

3852
03:01:24,840 --> 03:01:25,740
 Going to look to pass.

3853
03:01:26,120 --> 03:01:27,380
 Down the right sideline, one-on-one.

3854
03:01:27,500 --> 03:01:28,560
 Again, trying to go out there.

3855
03:01:28,660 --> 03:01:29,180
 Can he get it?

3856
03:01:29,240 --> 03:01:29,760
 That's Morris.

3857
03:01:29,840 --> 03:01:30,480
 Couldn't bring it in.

3858
03:01:30,560 --> 03:01:31,500
 Looked like he got hit early.

3859
03:01:31,740 --> 03:01:33,040
 And the flag comes.

3860
03:01:33,460 --> 03:01:34,400
 There's the flag.

3861
03:01:34,900 --> 03:01:35,780
 It was hit early.

3862
03:01:35,900 --> 03:01:36,840
 Two flags come.

3863
03:01:37,140 --> 03:01:40,200
 And Florence will have a 15-yarder against Russell.

3864
03:01:40,360 --> 03:01:41,340
 Watching the back judge.

3865
03:01:41,440 --> 03:01:42,140
 He saw it.

3866
03:01:42,380 --> 03:01:44,760
 He pulled the flag out and faked a throw.

3867
03:01:44,860 --> 03:01:45,760
 I dropped it, I think.

3868
03:01:46,780 --> 03:01:47,780
 He pulled it quick.

3869
03:01:47,860 --> 03:01:48,180
 You're right.

3870
03:01:48,240 --> 03:01:48,980
 He pulled it quick.

3871
03:01:49,080 --> 03:01:51,080
 He waited for the other flag to be thrown before he threw it.

3872
03:01:51,080 --> 03:01:52,300
 But let's go back to Morris.

3873
03:01:52,400 --> 03:01:54,100
 What speed he has, J.J.

3874
03:01:54,400 --> 03:01:56,820
 We haven't seen Trip Morris and he blew by that one.

3875
03:01:56,820 --> 03:02:00,480
 So, Goolsby was down the field about 40 yards.

3876
03:02:01,240 --> 03:02:02,920
 Trip runs in there and just waves him off.

3877
03:02:02,960 --> 03:02:05,320
 He says, go ahead and just walk to the sidelines because I'm coming in for you.

3878
03:02:05,740 --> 03:02:07,360
 He has great speed.

3879
03:02:07,480 --> 03:02:08,900
 He's a tall kid, too.

3880
03:02:08,960 --> 03:02:10,640
 He's a fantastic baseball player.

3881
03:02:10,720 --> 03:02:11,540
 And only a sophomore.

3882
03:02:11,640 --> 03:02:15,480
 And only this sophomore class could turn out to be – they could be something special.

3883
03:02:15,700 --> 03:02:17,760
 Let's let you know, fans, it's not a first down.

3884
03:02:17,860 --> 03:02:18,720
 It's still third down.

3885
03:02:18,800 --> 03:02:19,960
 You do get a 15-yarder.

3886
03:02:20,280 --> 03:02:23,080
 But it's third and eight at the 37-yard line.

3887
03:02:23,340 --> 03:02:27,560
 So, now you can run it, pass it with a clock at 9.50 to go in the game.

3888
03:02:27,660 --> 03:02:29,100
 Florence leads at 28-14.

3889
03:02:30,000 --> 03:02:31,540
 To the left will be Kirkman.

3890
03:02:31,620 --> 03:02:33,100
 To the right, Morris again, I think.

3891
03:02:33,960 --> 03:02:36,920
 Back is Johnson to the right of Mahan against a five-man front.

3892
03:02:38,440 --> 03:02:39,420
 Play action again.

3893
03:02:39,500 --> 03:02:40,080
 He wants to throw.

3894
03:02:40,520 --> 03:02:42,540
 Mahan gets rid of it to the sideline.

3895
03:02:42,900 --> 03:02:44,100
 Morris brings it down.

3896
03:02:44,180 --> 03:02:45,120
 It holds on to it.

3897
03:02:45,120 --> 03:02:47,680
 What a catch by the sophomore at the 43.

3898
03:02:48,340 --> 03:02:53,420
 Great job by Austin Mahan to throw that one up to where only Morris can catch it.

3899
03:02:53,840 --> 03:02:56,060
 Morris high-pointed that ball in between two defenders.

3900
03:02:56,180 --> 03:02:57,700
 Got his feet down inbounds.

3901
03:02:58,060 --> 03:03:00,300
 That is an athletic play there for Morris.

3902
03:03:00,520 --> 03:03:03,000
 Oh, I'm telling you, that's pretty special right there.

3903
03:03:03,180 --> 03:03:05,140
 That's the hardest throw for a quarterback to make.

3904
03:03:05,240 --> 03:03:11,040
 With enough pace to get over the underneath defender and enough touch to be in front of the deep defensive back.

3905
03:03:11,460 --> 03:03:12,500
 Great throw by Mahan.

3906
03:03:12,500 --> 03:03:17,240
 9-44 and first and 10 in Golden Tiger territory leading at 28-14.

3907
03:03:17,880 --> 03:03:19,140
 Johnson up the middle.

3908
03:03:19,440 --> 03:03:19,940
 Breaks left.

3909
03:03:20,040 --> 03:03:21,060
 Got room to the 40.

3910
03:03:21,320 --> 03:03:22,780
 Stays on his feet to the 38.

3911
03:03:22,880 --> 03:03:23,980
 Down to the 37.

3912
03:03:24,180 --> 03:03:25,480
 Give him a got six or seven.

3913
03:03:26,160 --> 03:03:30,240
 That's a great job on first down to be able to get a nice little chunk play there.

3914
03:03:30,320 --> 03:03:31,800
 Get six yards on that first one.

3915
03:03:31,880 --> 03:03:33,740
 We hadn't done that in a little bit.

3916
03:03:33,800 --> 03:03:37,600
 Being able to open up that pass game just started the run game.

3917
03:03:37,760 --> 03:03:38,140
 Look out.

3918
03:03:38,380 --> 03:03:41,180
 Jeffrey Jones, it was third and 22.

3919
03:03:41,840 --> 03:03:44,000
 You make plays happen with two big plays right there.

3920
03:03:44,000 --> 03:03:46,000
 Man, he's just calm.

3921
03:03:46,720 --> 03:03:47,360
 He's real calm.

3922
03:03:47,500 --> 03:03:48,680
 Growing up tonight, that's for sure.

3923
03:03:48,800 --> 03:03:49,120
 Absolutely.

3924
03:03:49,360 --> 03:03:51,440
 It's just amazing to see his progression.

3925
03:03:51,760 --> 03:03:54,180
 And, you know, he sometimes adds the receiver a little bit too long,

3926
03:03:54,260 --> 03:03:56,000
 but his athleticism makes up for it.

3927
03:03:56,900 --> 03:03:57,840
 Second down play.

3928
03:03:58,180 --> 03:03:59,060
 Gives it off to Johnson.

3929
03:03:59,420 --> 03:04:00,480
 Skips far to the 35.

3930
03:04:00,600 --> 03:04:00,860
 Bulls far.

3931
03:04:00,940 --> 03:04:03,940
 Stays on his feet to the 31, to the 30, and gets the first down to the 29.

3932
03:04:04,660 --> 03:04:06,740
 He just kept dragging defenders with him.

3933
03:04:07,000 --> 03:04:09,240
 That'll move the chains with 8, 56, and counting.

3934
03:04:09,420 --> 03:04:10,380
 John, this is pretty special.

3935
03:04:10,580 --> 03:04:12,220
 Yeah, he is doing a terrific job.

3936
03:04:12,220 --> 03:04:15,180
 And now we're seeing he's getting a little rest.

3937
03:04:15,420 --> 03:04:16,960
 Number 10 is coming into spelling.

3938
03:04:17,380 --> 03:04:20,200
 But the fatigue we talked about in the late second quarter,

3939
03:04:20,420 --> 03:04:22,200
 I think is really showing up on this drive.

3940
03:04:22,480 --> 03:04:24,640
 Missing tackles that they were not missing early.

3941
03:04:25,100 --> 03:04:27,780
 Mike, you take Johnson out, and look who you bring in.

3942
03:04:27,980 --> 03:04:28,920
 Ooh, look out.

3943
03:04:29,400 --> 03:04:32,940
 Williams in the pistol formation right behind the shotgun quarterback.

3944
03:04:33,120 --> 03:04:35,080
 Mayhand on the first and 10 at the 29.

3945
03:04:36,080 --> 03:04:37,240
 Lawrence up by 14.

3946
03:04:37,880 --> 03:04:38,440
 Up the middle.

3947
03:04:38,580 --> 03:04:39,740
 Williams stays on his feet.

3948
03:04:39,840 --> 03:04:40,360
 Stays on his feet.

3949
03:04:40,440 --> 03:04:41,160
 25, 20.

3950
03:04:41,400 --> 03:04:44,160
 Breaks the tackle down the left side line and knocked out of bounds at the 14.

3951
03:04:45,500 --> 03:04:49,300
 They'll give him the 15-yard line, I think, but that's enough to move the chains again.

3952
03:04:49,860 --> 03:04:52,380
 Oh, he's eating up with all kinds of talent.

3953
03:04:53,380 --> 03:04:57,840
 That was a beautiful job there, getting around to the outside, sloughing off some contact,

3954
03:04:58,080 --> 03:05:01,860
 being able to continue to churn his feet, move downfield to get the first down.

3955
03:05:01,980 --> 03:05:04,540
 The clock stopped as he stepped out of bounds at 8.25.

3956
03:05:05,180 --> 03:05:08,180
 Florence up by 14, but trying to maybe put this one away.

3957
03:05:09,340 --> 03:05:13,720
 Russell had an unblocked defender, and Kion made him miss not once, but twice.

3958
03:05:13,720 --> 03:05:16,300
 And Coach Daryl Higgins said, enough is enough.

3959
03:05:16,440 --> 03:05:19,580
 Time out, Golden Tigers, and listen to the Falcon crowd across the way.

3960
03:05:20,000 --> 03:05:21,600
 Florence leads at 28-14.

3961
03:05:21,800 --> 03:05:22,500
 Don't go away.

3962
03:05:22,580 --> 03:05:23,300
 We're back in 30.

3963
03:05:26,440 --> 03:05:30,180
 Hi, I'm Dr. Brady Citizen with Treehouse Children's Dentistry.

3964
03:05:30,360 --> 03:05:34,880
 Our teens in Tuscumbia, Killen, and Madison are so excited to welcome you and your family

3965
03:05:34,880 --> 03:05:35,620
 to our treehouse.

3966
03:05:35,780 --> 03:05:38,800
 We know that choosing a dental home can be a stressful experience.

3967
03:05:39,120 --> 03:05:43,720
 That's why at Treehouse Children's Dentistry, we've created an environment that kids and parents

3968
03:05:43,720 --> 03:05:44,320
 love.

3969
03:05:44,520 --> 03:05:49,620
 Our team is experienced in caring for every child, from infants to teenagers to children

3970
03:05:49,620 --> 03:05:50,420
 with special needs.

3971
03:05:50,420 --> 03:05:55,640
 Call one of our three locations today or visit our website at treehousedentist.com.

3972
03:05:55,780 --> 03:06:01,060
 We're so excited to see you soon at Treehouse Children's Dentistry, a branch of Singing River

3973
03:06:01,060 --> 03:06:01,620
 Dentistry.

3974
03:06:09,900 --> 03:06:15,580
 Falcons driving, leading at 28-14 in a battle of undefeateds after a 14-14 halftime game.

3975
03:06:15,980 --> 03:06:19,600
 Florence put two touchdowns up in the third and trying to add a one in the fourth.

3976
03:06:20,580 --> 03:06:23,740
 Kion Williams, the tailback from the 15-yard line to the right of man.

3977
03:06:23,880 --> 03:06:24,400
 Blitz coming.

3978
03:06:24,560 --> 03:06:29,220
 Williams gets by the blitzer, slips under to the 10, finds the five, stays on his feet.

3979
03:06:29,460 --> 03:06:31,160
 He will score.

3980
03:06:31,580 --> 03:06:36,760
 He breaks tackle after tackle, and right now he just broke the hearts of the Golden Tigers.

3981
03:06:37,000 --> 03:06:38,820
 How did he keep his feet underneath him?

3982
03:06:38,900 --> 03:06:39,740
 I have no idea.

3983
03:06:39,800 --> 03:06:41,400
 He was cut out from underneath twice.

3984
03:06:41,760 --> 03:06:46,500
 He was able to keep his feet and then just at the end just leisurely waltzed into the end

3985
03:06:46,500 --> 03:06:46,680
 zone.

3986
03:06:46,680 --> 03:06:49,280
 That was an amazing run there after a bunch of contact.

3987
03:06:49,280 --> 03:06:55,000
 He brought a safety blitz from the Tigers, and when you missed that blitz, it is bad.

3988
03:06:55,100 --> 03:06:56,740
 And he ran right where he came from.

3989
03:06:57,000 --> 03:06:59,540
 Parker Greenhawk to attempt the PAT.

3990
03:07:00,220 --> 03:07:01,080
 Everything's good.

3991
03:07:01,420 --> 03:07:02,620
 Look up through the go post.

3992
03:07:02,880 --> 03:07:03,980
 It remains good.

3993
03:07:04,320 --> 03:07:05,000
 New score.

3994
03:07:05,420 --> 03:07:05,940
 Florence, 35.

3995
03:07:06,800 --> 03:07:07,680
 Russellville, 14.

3996
03:07:07,940 --> 03:07:09,240
 Don't go away, Falcon fans.

3997
03:07:09,320 --> 03:07:10,180
 We're back in 30.

3998
03:07:11,500 --> 03:07:13,760
 Hello, this is Kevin Arnold with Village Discount Drugs.

3999
03:07:13,840 --> 03:07:15,800
 We've been in the Shoals since 1979.

4000
03:07:16,160 --> 03:07:16,900
 We live here.

4001
03:07:17,060 --> 03:07:18,020
 We go to school here.

4002
03:07:18,120 --> 03:07:22,000
 Do you want to do business with someone local or a company from Rhode Island, Illinois, or

4003
03:07:22,000 --> 03:07:22,420
 Arkansas?

4004
03:07:22,660 --> 03:07:25,280
 The large chains just don't reinvest in our community.

4005
03:07:25,420 --> 03:07:29,400
 The large chains don't sponsor little league teams, and they certainly don't sponsor Falcon

4006
03:07:29,400 --> 03:07:29,800
 football.

4007
03:07:29,800 --> 03:07:33,280
 And don't just buy from Village Drugs, but support all our local businesses.

4008
03:07:33,500 --> 03:07:37,980
 Let these local businesses give you the service you deserve while keeping your local economy

4009
03:07:37,980 --> 03:07:38,380
 strong.

4010
03:07:38,540 --> 03:07:42,840
 So make the switch to Village Drugs, a local pharmacy, where we are the Shoals' problem solvers

4011
03:07:42,840 --> 03:07:43,880
 and people pleasers.

4012
03:07:49,960 --> 03:07:53,440
 Back at Golden Tigers Stadium, Florence leads at 35-14.

4013
03:07:53,440 --> 03:07:55,120
 That last drive, John McDaniel.

4014
03:07:55,960 --> 03:07:56,980
 Eight plays, Kevin.

4015
03:07:57,400 --> 03:07:59,200
 76 yards total covered.

4016
03:07:59,620 --> 03:08:01,380
 Three minutes, 22 seconds.

4017
03:08:01,480 --> 03:08:06,980
 They came off the clock and finished with a terrific 15-yard touchdown run by Kayon Williams.

4018
03:08:07,240 --> 03:08:08,040
 And I'll say this.

4019
03:08:08,060 --> 03:08:11,840
 You're going to hear about the running backs a lot, but Mike, Costa Mahan, has been amazing

4020
03:08:11,840 --> 03:08:12,200
 tonight.

4021
03:08:12,820 --> 03:08:18,220
 He's opened some things up and found some receivers that haven't gotten the ball thus far and really

4022
03:08:18,220 --> 03:08:19,780
 has shown a lot of poise.

4023
03:08:20,980 --> 03:08:21,720
 Greenhall's kick.

4024
03:08:21,820 --> 03:08:22,640
 Did it go out of bounds?

4025
03:08:22,640 --> 03:08:23,300
 Yes, it did.

4026
03:08:23,760 --> 03:08:24,700
 It went to the left.

4027
03:08:25,240 --> 03:08:26,860
 Greenhall's just trying to make my life hard.

4028
03:08:26,940 --> 03:08:28,540
 He just keeps kicking it to that left corner.

4029
03:08:28,900 --> 03:08:30,380
 I couldn't see, but it goes out of bounds.

4030
03:08:30,740 --> 03:08:33,220
 He has done an outstanding job kicking the football tonight.

4031
03:08:33,960 --> 03:08:38,600
 And it will be first and 10 for the Golden Tigers at the 40 or is it 35?

4032
03:08:38,700 --> 03:08:39,200
 I can't remember.

4033
03:08:39,400 --> 03:08:39,840
 I wasn't sure.

4034
03:08:39,960 --> 03:08:40,680
 It should be 35.

4035
03:08:43,240 --> 03:08:44,700
 At the 35-yard line.

4036
03:08:44,760 --> 03:08:46,200
 I think they changed that rule a couple of years ago.

4037
03:08:46,600 --> 03:08:47,320
 Showing my age.

4038
03:08:47,400 --> 03:08:48,820
 Back in the day, it used to be the 40.

4039
03:08:49,260 --> 03:08:52,980
 So it'll be on the right hash at the 35 with 8.18 to go.

4040
03:08:53,920 --> 03:08:56,300
 Jeffrey Jones, this Falcon team has played outstanding.

4041
03:08:56,780 --> 03:08:57,800
 There's no doubt about it.

4042
03:08:57,940 --> 03:08:59,120
 You know, the second half especially.

4043
03:08:59,680 --> 03:09:03,880
 You know, the first half, we took a second to get the jitters out.

4044
03:09:03,940 --> 03:09:04,940
 But we've seen this defense now.

4045
03:09:05,140 --> 03:09:08,620
 Our defense's knees are tired, but they have earned the game so far.

4046
03:09:09,360 --> 03:09:10,280
 Under center Cleveland.

4047
03:09:10,660 --> 03:09:12,160
 Let's give the trap play up the middle.

4048
03:09:12,260 --> 03:09:14,460
 Breaking a tackle, Davis, but he can't break but three or four.

4049
03:09:14,960 --> 03:09:16,180
 This five yards to the 40.

4050
03:09:16,540 --> 03:09:18,740
 I'll give him credit because he should have been brought down back there.

4051
03:09:18,780 --> 03:09:20,420
 But he just, man, he runs hard.

4052
03:09:20,780 --> 03:09:21,760
 He runs hard.

4053
03:09:21,840 --> 03:09:22,540
 He's super quick.

4054
03:09:22,720 --> 03:09:25,960
 Like, he's definitely a really solid back.

4055
03:09:26,160 --> 03:09:29,980
 And, you know, if we know backs, you know, if we're giving him credit,

4056
03:09:30,080 --> 03:09:31,100
 we get to see some good backs.

4057
03:09:31,280 --> 03:09:31,940
 He's up there.

4058
03:09:32,080 --> 03:09:34,180
 Their offensive line, though, their guard, center guard.

4059
03:09:34,760 --> 03:09:35,200
 I'm sorry.

4060
03:09:35,720 --> 03:09:38,180
 Yeah, guard, center guard is firing off the ball

4061
03:09:38,180 --> 03:09:40,000
 and doing a great job with that trap.

4062
03:09:40,160 --> 03:09:42,580
 They are really pushing some of our guys downfield.

4063
03:09:42,940 --> 03:09:43,620
 Second down and five.

4064
03:09:43,720 --> 03:09:44,800
 Down by three touchdowns.

4065
03:09:44,840 --> 03:09:45,980
 I think they'll go to the air here.

4066
03:09:46,060 --> 03:09:46,480
 Let's see.

4067
03:09:47,740 --> 03:09:49,580
 Bring a man in motion, going to give it on the sweep.

4068
03:09:49,660 --> 03:09:51,140
 I'm about to, before that, there was movement.

4069
03:09:51,600 --> 03:09:54,460
 I think the Golden Tigers might have got up and moved a little early.

4070
03:09:54,800 --> 03:09:57,900
 There were a couple guys that moved that just hesitated just a little bit.

4071
03:09:57,900 --> 03:09:57,940
 It might have been Florence.

4072
03:09:58,380 --> 03:10:00,240
 Coach is open for us for saying it was against Florence.

4073
03:10:00,320 --> 03:10:00,680
 We'll see.

4074
03:10:01,100 --> 03:10:01,740
 High point.

4075
03:10:01,940 --> 03:10:03,140
 I saw the left side of their line.

4076
03:10:03,140 --> 03:10:05,600
 It's going against the Falcons, though, and it'll be a first down.

4077
03:10:06,260 --> 03:10:08,980
 So, somebody moved early, but they don't say it was the team in white and blue.

4078
03:10:09,540 --> 03:10:09,900
 Yes.

4079
03:10:10,100 --> 03:10:11,900
 One movement caused the other.

4080
03:10:12,040 --> 03:10:12,800
 It's not the same.

4081
03:10:12,980 --> 03:10:15,620
 7.38 to go in the game.

4082
03:10:16,200 --> 03:10:22,780
 Florence leaves it 35-14 over a really, really good Russell Golden Tiger team who came in

4083
03:10:22,780 --> 03:10:26,960
 this game 3-0 with wins over Deschler, Marcelle, and Hartsell.

4084
03:10:27,860 --> 03:10:30,320
 One thing we haven't mentioned, KJ, is the size.

4085
03:10:30,520 --> 03:10:31,080
 Their quarterback.

4086
03:10:31,400 --> 03:10:31,940
 Real huge.

4087
03:10:32,120 --> 03:10:32,680
 He's huge.

4088
03:10:32,920 --> 03:10:35,140
 He's every bit of cost and size.

4089
03:10:35,240 --> 03:10:36,220
 I'll get to that in a moment.

4090
03:10:36,940 --> 03:10:38,480
 Looks like I give it off again to Davis.

4091
03:10:38,760 --> 03:10:39,200
 Skips far.

4092
03:10:39,260 --> 03:10:41,680
 They got across the 50 and tripped up a game of about six.

4093
03:10:41,920 --> 03:10:45,340
 The clock is your favorite right now, up by three touchdowns, 720 and counting.

4094
03:10:46,700 --> 03:10:47,360
 Cleveland's tall.

4095
03:10:47,480 --> 03:10:49,000
 They've got about two wide receivers tall.

4096
03:10:49,420 --> 03:10:50,020
 I'll tell you what.

4097
03:10:50,160 --> 03:10:53,960
 I don't know if my friend, Coach Dylan Burleson, the basketball coach at Florence, is listening,

4098
03:10:54,520 --> 03:10:55,340
 but I'm just going to warn you.

4099
03:10:55,380 --> 03:10:59,340
 When you play Russell, they're going to have about a front line of 6'7", 6'6", 6'8".

4100
03:10:59,340 --> 03:11:00,300
 They're huge.

4101
03:11:00,420 --> 03:11:00,840
 Good point.

4102
03:11:01,940 --> 03:11:03,940
 If Todd Rogers plays, he's going to be –

4103
03:11:03,940 --> 03:11:05,020
 That's where I was going, J.J.

4104
03:11:05,020 --> 03:11:05,760
 Yeah, you go ahead.

4105
03:11:05,980 --> 03:11:06,180
 No.

4106
03:11:06,520 --> 03:11:06,860
 No, sir.

4107
03:11:06,880 --> 03:11:08,280
 6'7", 300 pounds.

4108
03:11:09,040 --> 03:11:10,780
 Under seven minutes to go in the game.

4109
03:11:11,220 --> 03:11:13,640
 At midfield are the Golden Tigers, second out of five.

4110
03:11:15,180 --> 03:11:17,720
 Before the snap, a whistle again this time.

4111
03:11:18,740 --> 03:11:19,620
 And maybe a timeout.

4112
03:11:22,560 --> 03:11:23,340
 That time.

4113
03:11:24,180 --> 03:11:25,860
 He's indicating offsides on the Falcons.

4114
03:11:25,920 --> 03:11:27,140
 So, Florence jumped again.

4115
03:11:27,700 --> 03:11:31,480
 The Falcons had some backups in at defensive line to give a breather,

4116
03:11:31,580 --> 03:11:32,900
 and that's maybe what happened there.

4117
03:11:33,300 --> 03:11:35,440
 So, it moves five yards, and the starters come back in.

4118
03:11:36,580 --> 03:11:39,400
 Coach Wisdom is not going to be pleased with two easy penalties.

4119
03:11:39,700 --> 03:11:40,340
 I appreciate it.

4120
03:11:40,640 --> 03:11:46,660
 Weston Whitaker will check in, take the place of Hallmark on his first and ten play at the 45.

4121
03:11:47,780 --> 03:11:50,180
 With 6'45", and counting in the game.

4122
03:11:50,880 --> 03:11:54,460
 Florence leads it by three touchdowns, but Russell trying to drive.

4123
03:11:56,340 --> 03:11:57,280
 Wants to pass.

4124
03:11:57,440 --> 03:11:57,960
 Leave him back.

4125
03:11:58,060 --> 03:11:58,800
 Gets rid of it quickly.

4126
03:11:59,300 --> 03:11:59,880
 Davis is hit.

4127
03:11:59,980 --> 03:12:00,600
 He goes down.

4128
03:12:00,680 --> 03:12:01,520
 He loses yards.

4129
03:12:01,800 --> 03:12:06,460
 He meets Des Brown, and Des Brown says, good evening, Mr. Davis, and knocks him down.

4130
03:12:06,780 --> 03:12:08,200
 That play was strung out by Berski.

4131
03:12:08,300 --> 03:12:13,220
 Berski was the first one on contact there, and then Des Brown cleaned it up with a big blow on the outside.

4132
03:12:13,900 --> 03:12:15,480
 6'19", and counting.

4133
03:12:16,100 --> 03:12:20,700
 Florence trying to go to 4-0 on the season, and more importantly, 2-0 in region play.

4134
03:12:21,560 --> 03:12:23,900
 Asher Cleveland checking in for the Golden Tigers.

4135
03:12:24,400 --> 03:12:25,380
 We'll take the place of Clement.

4136
03:12:25,880 --> 03:12:28,240
 It's second down and 13 for the Golden Tigers.

4137
03:12:29,420 --> 03:12:32,220
 We'll be under six minutes when they snap it here in the game.

4138
03:12:33,600 --> 03:12:37,620
 One wide receiver to the wide side, one wingback left, two backs in the backfield.

4139
03:12:38,740 --> 03:12:42,320
 And a whistle before the snap, and this time Coach Darrell Higgins says, timeout.

4140
03:12:42,460 --> 03:12:43,220
 We'll do the same.

4141
03:12:43,360 --> 03:12:44,420
 Five feet to three to go.

4142
03:12:44,840 --> 03:12:46,340
 Florence leads at 35-14.

4143
03:12:46,580 --> 03:12:47,700
 Come back and see us in 30.

4144
03:12:48,900 --> 03:12:53,240
 Irons Electric has been family-owned and operated for over 65 years.

4145
03:12:53,440 --> 03:13:00,580

4146
03:13:01,120 --> 03:13:04,740

4149
03:13:21,460 --> 03:13:23,440
 You won't be shocked by their reputation.

4150
03:13:28,820 --> 03:13:32,660
 Back at Golden Tiger Stadium, Kevin Johnson, voice of the Florence Falcons, with you.

4151
03:13:33,040 --> 03:13:37,980
 Florence leads Russell 35-14 after a 14-14 stalemate at the half.

4152
03:13:38,480 --> 03:13:41,780
 The Falcons have outscored Russell 21-0 here in the second half.

4153
03:13:42,300 --> 03:13:43,080
 Mike, it's impressive.

4154
03:13:43,200 --> 03:13:46,220
 We talk about this defense, but also this Florence offense has done their job.

4155
03:13:46,460 --> 03:13:50,940
 They certainly have, and something that we hadn't seen from them was a pass game, really.

4156
03:13:51,220 --> 03:13:58,280
 And being able to implement that and really improve that, being able to soften that Russell defense a little bit

4157
03:13:58,280 --> 03:14:00,320
 so that our run game can continue to do what it does.

4158
03:14:00,460 --> 03:14:03,040
 Second down and 13, Cleveland under center.

4159
03:14:04,400 --> 03:14:07,900
 Leaves it with his back off the left side, and Whitaker gets a couple, but that's all.

4160
03:14:09,840 --> 03:14:11,500
 Back to the original line of scrimmage.

4161
03:14:12,160 --> 03:14:13,800
 Pretty good job of the defense coming up.

4162
03:14:13,860 --> 03:14:19,700
 I thought he would not have a lot more running room, but didn't have much running room on that far side.

4163
03:14:20,900 --> 03:14:24,620
 And give this Falcon, I think they found a little bit of something in this secondary for Florence,

4164
03:14:24,700 --> 03:14:27,600
 and his defensive line is starting to play better in the second half.

4165
03:14:27,740 --> 03:14:31,040
 Because it looked like Russell in the first half was going up and down the field,

4166
03:14:31,160 --> 03:14:32,740
 but give Florence defense credit too, Mike.

4167
03:14:32,780 --> 03:14:33,560
 They've done their job.

4168
03:14:33,740 --> 03:14:34,960
 They certainly have.

4169
03:14:35,140 --> 03:14:40,500
 And, you know, aside from that one busted play, they've pretty much done a great job down the field,

4170
03:14:40,640 --> 03:14:42,700
 maybe a couple penalties down the stretch.

4171
03:14:42,800 --> 03:14:45,140
 But that one big play is the only thing that we've got to circle.

4172
03:14:45,320 --> 03:14:47,040
 Third and 10 for the Tigers.

4173
03:14:47,120 --> 03:14:47,720
 They want to pass.

4174
03:14:47,860 --> 03:14:50,320
 Cleveland looks to the right, going to throw the fade route to Clement out there.

4175
03:14:50,640 --> 03:14:52,660
 Good defense out there, and it's overthrown, incomplete.

4176
03:14:52,920 --> 03:14:53,560
 Threw it again.

4177
03:14:53,780 --> 03:14:54,900
 And they throw the flag again.

4178
03:14:55,340 --> 03:14:57,740
 That was 10 yards over the heads of everybody.

4179
03:14:58,240 --> 03:14:58,660
 That guy.

4180
03:14:58,940 --> 03:15:01,420
 And the back judge threw that flag, and there's no way.

4181
03:15:01,840 --> 03:15:02,800
 He's thrown it on every.

4182
03:15:03,160 --> 03:15:03,900
 Oh, no, on both sides.

4183
03:15:03,900 --> 03:15:04,760
 I think almost every pass play.

4184
03:15:05,220 --> 03:15:06,860
 So it was 5-0-5 to go.

4185
03:15:07,580 --> 03:15:12,560
 One way to move the football is to throw the football out there and see if a yellow flag was coming.

4186
03:15:12,660 --> 03:15:13,400
 That's what happened there.

4187
03:15:13,600 --> 03:15:15,140
 That's the old Patrick Mahomes move.

4188
03:15:15,260 --> 03:15:17,240
 Just throw it up and pray for a flag.

4189
03:15:18,000 --> 03:15:20,340
 I've seen him do that in the playoffs eight million times.

4190
03:15:20,620 --> 03:15:22,400
 That just gets a flag.

4191
03:15:22,580 --> 03:15:25,140
 I've got a few other skills I've got to name that on too, but I'm not going to.

4192
03:15:25,220 --> 03:15:29,080
 I promise you, at every level, 5-0-5 to go in the game.

4193
03:15:29,200 --> 03:15:32,840
 Florence leads it by 21, but Russell now has a first and 10 at the 19.

4194
03:15:33,240 --> 03:15:34,160
 29, excuse me.

4195
03:15:34,480 --> 03:15:35,920
 I thought it was a great defense by Brown.

4196
03:15:35,920 --> 03:15:38,580
 I thought he beat him to the spot and was running step-to-step with him.

4197
03:15:39,060 --> 03:15:40,920
 But they said too much contact, so interference.

4198
03:15:41,720 --> 03:15:43,200
 Watch for Davis here on this play.

4199
03:15:44,840 --> 03:15:49,420
 And I hear a whistle again, and I think Florence may have called timeout.

4200
03:15:49,600 --> 03:15:50,500
 Let's see if it's off sides.

4201
03:15:50,640 --> 03:15:52,100
 No, Florence jumped off sides again.

4202
03:15:52,660 --> 03:15:55,160
 Yeah, Coach Morrison is livid right now.

4203
03:15:55,900 --> 03:15:58,680
 He has gone livid, livid over there.

4204
03:15:59,080 --> 03:16:01,800
 Jeffrey Jones, I'm glad you're in the end zone and not on the sideline

4205
03:16:01,800 --> 03:16:04,580
 because Coach Morrison is not happy right now.

4206
03:16:04,580 --> 03:16:06,020
 No, and he shouldn't be.

4207
03:16:06,200 --> 03:16:08,500
 You know, pre-snap penalties like that, they just can't happen.

4208
03:16:09,160 --> 03:16:10,580
 We've got to tighten that up.

4209
03:16:10,720 --> 03:16:12,940
 But, you know, overall, the defense has played great tonight.

4210
03:16:13,120 --> 03:16:14,140
 They have played outstanding.

4211
03:16:15,020 --> 03:16:17,220
 Some fourth-quarter mistakes right here.

4212
03:16:17,320 --> 03:16:19,580
 You know, it's going to make it look like a mediocre half.

4213
03:16:19,580 --> 03:16:20,860
 It ain't over yet, trust me.

4214
03:16:20,880 --> 03:16:22,720
 That's a 24, first down and five.

4215
03:16:23,160 --> 03:16:25,820
 Florence up 35-14, but I'm not breathing easy yet.

4216
03:16:25,900 --> 03:16:27,180
 I hope you're not either, Florence fans.

4217
03:16:30,360 --> 03:16:31,000
 Play action.

4218
03:16:31,080 --> 03:16:31,560
 Wants to pass.

4219
03:16:31,700 --> 03:16:32,320
 Cleveland rolls.

4220
03:16:32,560 --> 03:16:34,340
 He's in trouble trying to roll to his left.

4221
03:16:34,400 --> 03:16:35,900
 He's got a running rim trying to get the first down.

4222
03:16:35,960 --> 03:16:37,700
 He throws it across the line of scrimmage, I thought.

4223
03:16:37,780 --> 03:16:38,040
 Did he?

4224
03:16:38,120 --> 03:16:38,980
 No, he was pump fake.

4225
03:16:39,040 --> 03:16:40,580
 He pumped fake, and he kept it in his hands.

4226
03:16:40,860 --> 03:16:42,780
 He got the first down at the 19.

4227
03:16:43,060 --> 03:16:43,980
 It looked like he threw it.

4228
03:16:44,020 --> 03:16:45,020
 I was like, did he let go of it?

4229
03:16:45,020 --> 03:16:47,260
 But he pumped fake trying to fool the defender.

4230
03:16:47,540 --> 03:16:48,180
 He fooled me.

4231
03:16:48,520 --> 03:16:54,020
 But it's going to be a first down for the Golden Tigers with 4.56 to go in the game.

4232
03:16:54,720 --> 03:16:55,940
 I'll give you a pass, KJ.

4233
03:16:56,120 --> 03:17:00,600
 As we mentioned before, you know, the lighting, it's okay, but it's not great.

4234
03:17:00,680 --> 03:17:02,840
 We couldn't really see that ball from this side.

4235
03:17:03,180 --> 03:17:04,360
 Man, last year was rough.

4236
03:17:04,420 --> 03:17:08,040
 I've done a lot better, but y'all got to give me two more games, and I'll say I'm back in.

4237
03:17:08,640 --> 03:17:10,940
 First and 10 for the Golden Tigers at the 29.

4238
03:17:11,280 --> 03:17:12,320
 Under five to go.

4239
03:17:15,200 --> 03:17:15,560
 Cleveland.

4240
03:17:15,960 --> 03:17:17,680
 Going to leave with his back off the left side.

4241
03:17:18,060 --> 03:17:21,060
 Got maybe three or four to the 15 and pushed back there.

4242
03:17:22,100 --> 03:17:24,000
 That was Whittaker, I believe, on the carry, too.

4243
03:17:24,100 --> 03:17:24,680
 We'll have to check.

4244
03:17:25,180 --> 03:17:31,760
 The one thing that I will say is that Russellville isn't able to hit that big play right now,

4245
03:17:32,120 --> 03:17:34,240
 and so a lot of clock has been drained.

4246
03:17:34,480 --> 03:17:37,420
 You know, we're getting in that friendly territory.

4247
03:17:37,500 --> 03:17:38,440
 4.30 and counting.

4248
03:17:38,580 --> 03:17:39,360
 Right, right.

4249
03:17:40,720 --> 03:17:42,700
 Florence up by three touchdowns.

4250
03:17:42,700 --> 03:17:45,480
 They've been very conservative in their play calling on offense in this drive.

4251
03:17:45,560 --> 03:17:50,480
 A lot of leads, just really only one pass play that was able to kind of get out.

4252
03:17:50,480 --> 03:17:54,360
 And the wing tee offense doesn't lend itself to come back from big deficits.

4253
03:17:56,800 --> 03:17:57,600
 Whittaker's the back.

4254
03:17:58,620 --> 03:17:59,620
 Davis is out there, too.

4255
03:17:59,700 --> 03:18:00,460
 They're going to play action.

4256
03:18:00,560 --> 03:18:01,800
 Roll to the right, wants to throw.

4257
03:18:02,100 --> 03:18:03,580
 Throws the quick out out here, complete.

4258
03:18:03,700 --> 03:18:04,800
 Got it at the 15-yard line.

4259
03:18:04,880 --> 03:18:05,460
 Breaks the tackle.

4260
03:18:05,760 --> 03:18:07,360
 Hit at the 10 and knocked down at the 10.

4261
03:18:07,720 --> 03:18:08,880
 That'll be right at the first down.

4262
03:18:08,960 --> 03:18:10,320
 Sticks and enough to move the chains.

4263
03:18:11,200 --> 03:18:13,460
 With four minutes and counting here in the game.

4264
03:18:14,640 --> 03:18:16,100
 And the Falcons have done their job, Mike.

4265
03:18:16,120 --> 03:18:19,020
 If nothing else, they've kept the ball in front of them, and the clock is running.

4266
03:18:19,020 --> 03:18:27,980
 Right, having to have a team come away with a long, methodical drive with a lot of clock being chewed up is exactly where Falcons...

4267
03:18:27,980 --> 03:18:32,040
 If they're going to let up some yards, the clock is their friend at this point.

4268
03:18:32,140 --> 03:18:33,860
 They're taking time, getting out of the huddle right now.

4269
03:18:33,960 --> 03:18:36,480
 335 and counting before they even get ready to snap it.

4270
03:18:37,100 --> 03:18:38,560
 First and goal at the 10.

4271
03:18:39,420 --> 03:18:40,320
 Wing tee set.

4272
03:18:41,660 --> 03:18:43,200
 Everybody shifts right and left.

4273
03:18:43,320 --> 03:18:44,880
 Davis is to the left now at the quarterback.

4274
03:18:45,680 --> 03:18:47,380
 And they're going to leave with Davis off the right side.

4275
03:18:47,440 --> 03:18:49,820
 He gets by one defender, can't get by two, and he's going down.

4276
03:18:49,880 --> 03:18:50,680
 He's going to lose two.

4277
03:18:51,340 --> 03:18:52,720
 Jaden Irons cleaned him up.

4278
03:18:53,060 --> 03:18:57,200
 Jaden Irons comes out, and he's having revival by himself back here at the 20-yard line.

4279
03:18:57,260 --> 03:18:59,080
 He finally got a hold of him and threw him for a loss.

4280
03:18:59,880 --> 03:19:01,540
 That was a great job by the Falcons.

4281
03:19:01,620 --> 03:19:10,240
 They shot in, got Davis off his initial lane, had to bounce it out, and Irons just cleaned it up in the backfield.

4282
03:19:10,380 --> 03:19:11,320
 Second down and 12.

4283
03:19:11,440 --> 03:19:13,300
 I think Irons has been waiting on that all night.

4284
03:19:13,400 --> 03:19:15,040
 They finally got a shot at him and took him down.

4285
03:19:15,440 --> 03:19:16,880
 We're under three minutes to go in the game.

4286
03:19:17,020 --> 03:19:21,800
 Florence leads it 35-14, but Russell knocking on the door at the 11-yard line.

4287
03:19:22,360 --> 03:19:25,500
 And they're taking their time getting offense in there at 245 and counting.

4288
03:19:25,500 --> 03:19:28,680
 One rod receiver to the left, two wing backs.

4289
03:19:29,040 --> 03:19:30,180
 Davis is your tailback.

4290
03:19:31,620 --> 03:19:33,460
 Pits a man in motion left.

4291
03:19:33,820 --> 03:19:35,120
 Going to lead with Davis on the trap.

4292
03:19:35,200 --> 03:19:41,140
 He's hit, brought down right at the six-yard line, maybe even the seven, 230 and counting.

4293
03:19:41,700 --> 03:19:42,940
 And they'll bring up third down.

4294
03:19:43,740 --> 03:19:45,980
 Jeffrey Jones, the defense has done what they need to do.

4295
03:19:46,120 --> 03:19:48,700
 The defense has played lights out, especially in the second half.

4296
03:19:48,960 --> 03:19:52,880
 Other than that first drive and that one play, particularly in that first drive,

4297
03:19:53,260 --> 03:19:55,440
 you could not ask for a better performance from this defense.

4298
03:19:55,440 --> 03:19:56,520
 They were well prepared.

4299
03:19:56,680 --> 03:20:00,220
 I was a little worried about how they were going to be able to adjust to this offense

4300
03:20:00,220 --> 03:20:02,320
 because they're not going to see this again until this time next year.

4301
03:20:03,240 --> 03:20:07,420
 Hats off to Parker Driggers, who ran scout team quarterback and enjoyed every minute of it this week.

4302
03:20:07,640 --> 03:20:09,060
 We'll talk about him in the postgame.

4303
03:20:09,160 --> 03:20:09,900
 Two minutes to go.

4304
03:20:09,960 --> 03:20:10,560
 Not over yet.

4305
03:20:10,980 --> 03:20:12,800
 Third and goal for the Golden Tigers.

4306
03:20:15,700 --> 03:20:18,680
 Going to give it to Davis off the left side, trying to bounce it.

4307
03:20:18,980 --> 03:20:21,880
 Falcons do a good job stringing him out and bring him down around the three.

4308
03:20:22,800 --> 03:20:25,720
 It'll bring up fourth down and goal for the Golden Tigers.

4309
03:20:26,080 --> 03:20:27,540
 Under two minutes to go in the game.

4310
03:20:27,740 --> 03:20:30,100
 Florence up big, 35-14.

4311
03:20:30,760 --> 03:20:33,800
 And I think the Falcons want to shut out in the second half here.

4312
03:20:34,640 --> 03:20:35,920
 Yeah, I mean, that would be nice.

4313
03:20:36,040 --> 03:20:37,820
 But, you know, they've got their work cut out for them.

4314
03:20:37,880 --> 03:20:39,540
 They're only three yards away from scoring.

4315
03:20:39,860 --> 03:20:41,000
 So, 130 and counting.

4316
03:20:41,260 --> 03:20:49,940
 But more importantly than the scoreboard and the shutout is that they made Russellville work a ton of clock this drive.

4317
03:20:50,520 --> 03:20:57,880
 And now to have it after this play be about a minute or just under a minute would be, I mean, that's just a great job by this defense.

4318
03:20:58,080 --> 03:21:00,040
 Falcon fans on their feet across the way.

4319
03:21:01,380 --> 03:21:03,140
 Cleveland puts a man in motion to the right.

4320
03:21:04,000 --> 03:21:07,660
 Going to go back left to Davis and he's got a little running rim and he'll get in the end zone touchdown.

4321
03:21:08,220 --> 03:21:11,740
 So, they got the Falcons going one way and they go to Davis to the back side.

4322
03:21:11,820 --> 03:21:14,660
 He puts it in the end zone with 58 seconds to go.

4323
03:21:15,440 --> 03:21:21,200
 And Russell gets on the scoreboard for the first time in the second half to cut the lead to 35-20.

4324
03:21:22,520 --> 03:21:27,400
 Garcia will come on to attempt the PAT and the hands team better get ready for the Falcons across the way.

4325
03:21:28,080 --> 03:21:32,840
 Russellville is short a man.

4326
03:21:32,940 --> 03:21:35,160
 They're still waiting for somebody to come out there.

4327
03:21:35,980 --> 03:21:38,120
 But with no play clock, I don't know if it will really matter.

4328
03:21:40,240 --> 03:21:43,140
 Well, the referee appears to not have signaled the play to start.

4329
03:21:43,240 --> 03:21:44,000
 He just does.

4330
03:21:44,440 --> 03:21:45,420
 He just does.

4331
03:21:45,520 --> 03:21:47,280
 It's been interesting.

4332
03:21:47,940 --> 03:21:49,300
 And they made the clock up to 104.

4333
03:21:49,560 --> 03:21:50,560
 I don't know why they did that.

4334
03:21:50,620 --> 03:21:53,640
 It was because they scored at that and they ran off about 10 seconds afterwards.

4335
03:21:53,640 --> 03:21:57,840
 High snap, kick on the way, kick is up, and the kick is good.

4336
03:21:58,340 --> 03:22:02,580
 New score, Florence leads at 35-21 with one minute, four seconds to go in the game.

4337
03:22:02,880 --> 03:22:03,480
 Don't go away.

4338
03:22:03,600 --> 03:22:04,920
 Talk football, put us back in 30.

4339
03:22:05,980 --> 03:22:08,880
 This is Miranda Haddock with the Florence Education Foundation.

4340
03:22:09,220 --> 03:22:12,880
 We would like to extend an invitation to our ninth annual Salsa Showdown

4341
03:22:12,880 --> 03:22:17,040
 on Saturday, October 3rd from 2 to 5 p.m. at Singing River Brewery.

4342
03:22:17,240 --> 03:22:21,760
 Restaurants and individuals from around the shows will compete to see who has the best salsa and queso.

4343
03:22:22,020 --> 03:22:24,000
 Enjoy live music and a fun-filled day.

4344
03:22:24,200 --> 03:22:29,140
 For tickets and more information, visit our website at FlorenceEducationFoundation.org.

4345
03:22:29,140 --> 03:22:34,160
 I would like to thank our Silver and Gold sponsors, Forsyth & Long, Bank Independent, Chick-fil-A,

4346
03:22:34,380 --> 03:22:39,320
 Cutter Construction, Essity, E.S. Robbins, First Southern Bank, Grigsby Properties,

4347
03:22:39,640 --> 03:22:44,460
 Johnson & Mayhand Vental, Long Lewis, Florence, Riverbank & Trust, and United Community Bank.

4348
03:22:44,580 --> 03:22:48,340
 And a special thank you to our title sponsor this year, TNT Fireworks.

4349
03:22:53,980 --> 03:22:58,220
 Back at Golden Tiger Stadium, Kevin Johnson, Voice of the Falcons, glad to be with you.

4350
03:22:58,280 --> 03:23:01,040
 With 104 to go in the game, Florence leads at 35-21.

4351
03:23:01,600 --> 03:23:04,540
 The last drive by the Golden Tigers, John, was a big win for them,

4352
03:23:04,640 --> 03:23:07,040
 but the Falcons did their job still in a difficult way.

4353
03:23:07,060 --> 03:23:10,620
 It was. It's one of those you will trade yards and points for time.

4354
03:23:11,040 --> 03:23:16,040
 14 plays, 65 yards, but 7 minutes and 13 seconds.

4355
03:23:16,320 --> 03:23:18,900
 It would be a great offensive series if you were leading,

4356
03:23:19,340 --> 03:23:21,940
 but not a good one if you're down 21 points.

4357
03:23:22,120 --> 03:23:25,700
 That is one of those that you hate to give up the points,

4358
03:23:25,700 --> 03:23:28,200
 but at the same time, your defense did the job.

4359
03:23:28,680 --> 03:23:31,060
 Seven minutes it took for the Tigers to get down.

4360
03:23:31,440 --> 03:23:33,220
 They're going to line up and try to kick an onside kick.

4361
03:23:33,300 --> 03:23:34,640
 It looks like they're trying to go left.

4362
03:23:35,200 --> 03:23:35,900
 You're the Falcons.

4363
03:23:36,060 --> 03:23:38,360
 This is something you work on, but you just got to follow the ball.

4364
03:23:41,260 --> 03:23:42,760
 Williams will stand back at the 20.

4365
03:23:43,000 --> 03:23:45,360
 Ten Falcons will be up at the 50 and the 45.

4366
03:23:45,780 --> 03:23:47,880
 Kevin, have we seen an onside kick this season?

4367
03:23:47,880 --> 03:23:48,880
 Not this season, no.

4368
03:23:49,360 --> 03:23:50,120
 Not this season.

4369
03:23:50,980 --> 03:23:52,760
 I'm not sure the Tigers have tried one either.

4370
03:23:54,200 --> 03:23:55,820
 They haven't had the need to, really.

4371
03:23:55,860 --> 03:23:58,160
 And neither have the Falcons, so that's why.

4372
03:23:58,940 --> 03:24:01,200
 So the officials, the five-man crew, give them credit.

4373
03:24:01,200 --> 03:24:03,120
 It's a hard game to officiate in a hot night.

4374
03:24:03,300 --> 03:24:05,400
 They've been up and down the field, so they get everything set.

4375
03:24:05,520 --> 03:24:06,120
 And here we go.

4376
03:24:06,980 --> 03:24:08,960
 Garcia will attempt the onside kick.

4377
03:24:10,660 --> 03:24:11,880
 Got a good bounce there.

4378
03:24:11,960 --> 03:24:14,040
 It goes up, and the Falcons catch it and go down to the 45.

4379
03:24:14,340 --> 03:24:15,300
 That's a tremendous job.

4380
03:24:15,360 --> 03:24:18,840
 Not sure who caught it there, but some Falcon caught it.

4381
03:24:18,940 --> 03:24:19,700
 J.C. Goolsby.

4382
03:24:20,020 --> 03:24:22,160
 Goolsby got it and went down and give him credit.

4383
03:24:23,120 --> 03:24:25,760
 Caught it, turned his back, goes down, and 103 to go.

4384
03:24:25,900 --> 03:24:27,760
 Florence has a 35-21 lead.

4385
03:24:28,160 --> 03:24:32,400
 I'm not sure how many timeouts Russell has, but I've got a feeling that the Golden Tigers might

4386
03:24:32,400 --> 03:24:33,560
 wave the white flag here.

4387
03:24:34,940 --> 03:24:36,340
 I would think so as well.

4388
03:24:36,580 --> 03:24:43,240
 However, I'm not sure it was Goolsby because he was over by midfield away from the play when

4389
03:24:43,240 --> 03:24:44,500
 that happened, but I could be wrong.

4390
03:24:45,660 --> 03:24:47,000
 Either way, it was recovering.

4391
03:24:47,140 --> 03:24:48,580
 It was a beautiful job either way.

4392
03:24:49,100 --> 03:24:53,400
 If Florence will go to victory formation, I don't think the Golden Tigers have any timeouts

4393
03:24:53,400 --> 03:24:54,000
 really left.

4394
03:24:54,600 --> 03:24:55,940
 They've got one, one left.

4395
03:24:56,420 --> 03:24:59,060
 They've got a customer board that can show it if they just use it.

4396
03:24:59,800 --> 03:25:00,020
 Yeah.

4397
03:25:01,140 --> 03:25:05,320
 So, Falcon in victory formation, and that's a good formation if you take care of the football

4398
03:25:05,320 --> 03:25:05,600
 here.

4399
03:25:06,320 --> 03:25:12,200
 Mahan will take the knee at the 40-yard line, and the clock will run, and you don't have

4400
03:25:12,200 --> 03:25:14,320
 to snap it again until about 30 seconds.

4401
03:25:14,780 --> 03:25:18,100
 And across the way, the folks in Florence on their feet.

4402
03:25:18,500 --> 03:25:21,440
 On this side, the folks in Russell are headed home.

4403
03:25:24,080 --> 03:25:32,600
 Two road games, two road wins, and Florence right now with one more snap.

4404
03:25:33,600 --> 03:25:35,980
 Wait and let that clock come on down there, Costin.

4405
03:25:36,500 --> 03:25:41,000
 Gets the snap, takes a knee, and that should do it right there, and it will.

4406
03:25:41,580 --> 03:25:42,940
 And the boys in white and blue.

4407
03:25:48,180 --> 03:25:51,700
 Won't have to snap it again, and both teams come to midfield.

4408
03:25:51,700 --> 03:25:59,080
 In a great, hard-fought game, Florence wins it, 35-21.

4409
03:25:59,660 --> 03:26:01,220
 You're listening to Florence Falcon football.

4410
03:26:01,800 --> 03:26:03,360
 We're back in one minute.

4411
03:26:04,600 --> 03:26:08,640
 Carbine Construction is honored to be a part of building projects with the Florence City

4412
03:26:08,640 --> 03:26:09,520
 school system.

4413
03:26:10,020 --> 03:26:14,220
 We're also glad to cheer on the Falcons as they celebrate milestone achievements as well.

4414
03:26:14,220 --> 03:26:18,560
 Good luck to head coach Kenny Morrison and the Florence Falcons football team on building a

4415
03:26:18,560 --> 03:26:23,240
 special season to remember, as Carbine Construction wishes you the very best this season.

4416
03:26:23,740 --> 03:26:29,520
 Remember, at Carbine Construction, we build trust, we build relationships, and like the Florence

4417
03:26:29,520 --> 03:26:33,640
 Falcons football team, at Carbine Construction, we continue to build.

4418
03:26:34,740 --> 03:26:37,980
 At First Southern Bank, we always cheer for the home team.

4419
03:26:38,340 --> 03:26:41,560
 We are homegrown, with deep roots, and we're invested in this community.

4420
03:26:42,000 --> 03:26:45,880
 With checking and savings accounts, mobile and online banking, and a mortgage department

4421
03:26:45,880 --> 03:26:49,800
 to help you with the home of your dreams, First Southern Bank is your neighborhood bank.

4422
03:26:50,260 --> 03:26:54,360
 Sometimes a local financial institution with deep roots and a commitment to the community

4423
03:26:54,360 --> 03:26:56,540
 can provide just the banking services you need.

4424
03:26:56,900 --> 03:27:00,000
 We always root for the home team, because we are the home team.

4425
03:27:00,000 --> 03:27:03,100
 First Southern Bank, Equal Housing Lender, member FDIC.

4426
03:27:09,180 --> 03:27:22,240
 Back here at Golden Tiger Stadium, Florence wins it 35-21, knocking off the Golden Tigers

4427
03:27:22,240 --> 03:27:24,860
 in impressive fashion, after being tied at 14.

4428
03:27:26,280 --> 03:27:31,920
 Unbelievable game, and the Falcon fans across the way, celebrating with their team as they

4429
03:27:31,920 --> 03:27:32,940
 come to the sideline.

4430
03:27:34,060 --> 03:27:36,380
 Coach Kenny Marson getting a TV interview here.

4431
03:27:37,520 --> 03:27:40,000
 It was the game of the week for Channel 48.

4432
03:27:40,160 --> 03:27:43,580
 Our good friend, Carl Prather, does a great job in high school sports, appreciate him.

4433
03:27:44,740 --> 03:27:50,480
 And the Falcons, tied at 14, put up 21 points in the second half,

4434
03:27:50,480 --> 03:27:55,140
 and made Russell go seven minutes before they could get a touchdown with a minute to go in the game.

4435
03:27:55,620 --> 03:27:58,240
 And Florence would come away with a 35-21 win.

4436
03:27:58,440 --> 03:28:02,340
 And honestly, Mike, amazing second half of Florence.

4437
03:28:02,440 --> 03:28:03,760
 It absolutely was.

4438
03:28:03,940 --> 03:28:11,660
 You know, to break the 14-14 tie there, hitting Justin Kirkman in the end zone there,

4439
03:28:11,820 --> 03:28:13,160
 that was a huge play.

4440
03:28:13,600 --> 03:28:17,520
 But I venture to guess, I would say, the play of the game was that broken pass.

4441
03:28:17,520 --> 03:28:21,100
 Coach, good game against one of your good friends from Florence, Daryl Higgins.

4442
03:28:21,720 --> 03:28:22,880
 Hats off to them too, right?

4443
03:28:23,240 --> 03:28:23,760
 No doubt.

4444
03:28:24,120 --> 03:28:26,880
 What a dang good coach football team.

4445
03:28:27,040 --> 03:28:28,780
 Coach Higgins and them have done a phenomenal job.

4446
03:28:28,860 --> 03:28:32,360
 Coach Ballantino, all those guys over there have been longtime friends of mine,

4447
03:28:32,460 --> 03:28:33,660
 doing a phenomenal job.

4448
03:28:34,120 --> 03:28:35,280
 They've got a good football team.

4449
03:28:35,360 --> 03:28:36,340
 They're going to be hard to handle.

4450
03:28:36,440 --> 03:28:39,600
 What they do offensively poses problems to everybody.

4451
03:28:40,100 --> 03:28:42,360
 And to get ready for it in a week is extremely hard.

4452
03:28:42,480 --> 03:28:43,680
 And we weren't ready for it.

4453
03:28:43,720 --> 03:28:48,960
 We just had to keep them from driving on us and get a stop here and there when we could.

4454
03:28:49,200 --> 03:28:50,200
 We know that offense.

4455
03:28:50,440 --> 03:28:51,880
 He's a master at running it.

4456
03:28:51,980 --> 03:28:53,100
 He always has been.

4457
03:28:54,140 --> 03:28:55,360
 Hats off to our defense.

4458
03:28:55,480 --> 03:28:58,320
 Coach Wisdom, you know, had them practicing hard this week.

4459
03:28:58,320 --> 03:29:00,440
 And they were prepared for the most part.

4460
03:29:00,660 --> 03:29:00,960
 We were.

4461
03:29:01,080 --> 03:29:01,440
 We were.

4462
03:29:01,520 --> 03:29:02,740
 They hit us on some big plays.

4463
03:29:02,920 --> 03:29:06,920
 And they put some wrinkles in, which Coach Higgins is always going to have some wrinkles.

4464
03:29:07,560 --> 03:29:10,040
 And, you know, we just told them to keep playing.

4465
03:29:10,680 --> 03:29:15,040
 And we told them, hey, make them snap it again and let them run the clock.

4466
03:29:15,240 --> 03:29:15,920
 And they did.

4467
03:29:16,100 --> 03:29:17,680
 And they played really well.

4468
03:29:17,900 --> 03:29:21,060
 Again, great coaching style, really good football team.

4469
03:29:21,600 --> 03:29:22,740
 I know we're banged up.

4470
03:29:22,740 --> 03:29:26,460
 We took some tonight, too.

4471
03:29:26,540 --> 03:29:27,780
 Nothing too serious.

4472
03:29:28,020 --> 03:29:30,420
 But got homecoming next week, coming into town.

4473
03:29:30,660 --> 03:29:32,540
 How do you keep the guys focused?

4474
03:29:32,660 --> 03:29:33,800
 I know it's a 24-hour rule.

4475
03:29:36,380 --> 03:29:40,540
 I tell you what, if they didn't learn from the lack of focus this week, something's bad wrong with them.

4476
03:29:40,620 --> 03:29:45,780
 Because we were as least focused about anything I've seen since I've been here in five years this week.

4477
03:29:46,220 --> 03:29:47,720
 And our guys responded.

4478
03:29:47,840 --> 03:29:49,460
 As the week went on, they settled in.

4479
03:29:49,540 --> 03:29:54,780
 We got to start on Sunday, focused, locked in, ready to go, and get ready for Decatur.

4480
03:29:55,140 --> 03:29:55,980
 Congratulations, Coach.

4481
03:29:56,020 --> 03:29:56,380
 Big win.

4482
03:29:57,940 --> 03:29:59,840
 Coach Kenny Morrison with Jeffrey Jones.

4483
03:29:59,920 --> 03:30:06,680
 It's been a tough night for us getting our sideline agree with Jeffrey Jones because we just couldn't get the signal to go down.

4484
03:30:06,780 --> 03:30:07,620
 We did everything we could.

4485
03:30:08,000 --> 03:30:11,460
 We finally got it to him, and so he had to just interrupt us, and we apologized for that.

4486
03:30:11,520 --> 03:30:15,560
 But Jeffrey Jones did a good job with Coach Kenny Morrison here in the TNT Fireworks Post Game Show,

4487
03:30:15,920 --> 03:30:21,320
 where Florence wins at 35-21, and the scoreboard is already turned off here at Golden Tiger Stadium.

4488
03:30:21,660 --> 03:30:23,200
 Well, we know what the final score was.

4489
03:30:23,540 --> 03:30:27,200
 The Falcons win it by two touchdowns, and what a win.

4490
03:30:27,280 --> 03:30:31,560
 When you're tied at 14, it seemed like momentum and everything was going the way of the Tigers.

4491
03:30:31,880 --> 03:30:37,520
 That first drive in the third quarter in the big play by Costin Mahan to avert what would have been a big loss

4492
03:30:37,520 --> 03:30:38,940
 and turn it into an incredible game.

4493
03:30:38,940 --> 03:30:46,860
 It went from almost a 20-yard loss to wind up being a big gain in flipping the field there for the Falcons.

4494
03:30:47,000 --> 03:30:51,700
 We were able to hit a couple passes down the field once again and score a touchdown there.

4495
03:30:51,840 --> 03:30:58,780
 But, you know, if Costin goes down there at the two- or three-yard line, you know, we might be in deep trouble,

4496
03:30:58,900 --> 03:31:01,780
 but we were able to flip that field and continue on and score.

4497
03:31:02,380 --> 03:31:05,000
 And that really did change the tide of the game.

4498
03:31:05,460 --> 03:31:06,140
 It really did.

4499
03:31:06,260 --> 03:31:11,000
 You know, Russell blocked a punt against the Falcons in the second half, but Florence didn't give up points again.

4500
03:31:11,340 --> 03:31:13,620
 How many times have we seen this defense bend but not break?

4501
03:31:13,920 --> 03:31:19,120
 You know, this defense is as strong and as good as we've seen here, and we've seen a lot of good defenses.

4502
03:31:19,120 --> 03:31:25,220
 And so for them to be able to continue to do what they do is kind of special.

4503
03:31:25,440 --> 03:31:32,720
 You know, heading into a season 4-0 like this, I mean, and 2-0 in the region, more importantly, is just phenomenal.

4504
03:31:32,980 --> 03:31:34,720
 And it really starts with this defense.

4505
03:31:34,820 --> 03:31:40,800
 And now that the offense is starting to catch up and catch a rhythm as well, I mean, this Falcon team is really poised.

4506
03:31:40,860 --> 03:31:42,400
 It's really exciting football going on.

4507
03:31:43,060 --> 03:31:46,800
 Falcons go to 4-0 in the season, 2-0 in region play,

4508
03:31:46,800 --> 03:31:51,740
 and we're getting ready to face the Decatur Red Raiders and homecoming at home at Brawley Stadium next Friday night.

4509
03:31:51,820 --> 03:31:54,620
 You're listening to the TNT Fireworks post-game show.

4510
03:31:54,720 --> 03:31:56,060
 Florence wins at 35-21.

4511
03:31:56,320 --> 03:31:57,100
 Don't go away.

4512
03:31:57,180 --> 03:31:59,060
 We're back with more after this one-minute timeout.

4513
03:31:59,660 --> 03:32:02,640
 Hey, guys, this is Mark down at Warehouse Tackle.

4514
03:32:02,900 --> 03:32:07,900

4515
03:32:08,240 --> 03:32:10,900

4516
03:32:11,080 --> 03:32:15,480

4517

4518
03:32:21,140 --> 03:32:22,180

4519
03:32:22,460 --> 03:32:29,660
 We're proud to be a sponsor of Florence Falcons football, and we wish Coach Morrison and the team good luck to you in your season.

4520
03:32:31,120 --> 03:32:32,880
 It's football time in Alabama.

4521
03:32:33,340 --> 03:32:35,520
 Our students are learning big American lessons.

4522
03:32:36,260 --> 03:32:42,920
 You can start with your God-given talents, and through practice, hard work, and sacrifice, you have the ability to become champions.

4523
03:32:43,720 --> 03:32:45,300
 This is Congressman Robert Adderholt.

4524
03:32:45,840 --> 03:32:49,580
 May God bless all of our students representing our high schools during this season,

4525
03:32:49,580 --> 03:32:52,260
 and may God bless the United States of America.

4526
03:32:52,860 --> 03:32:55,160
 I'm Robert Adderholt, and I approve this message.

4527
03:32:55,740 --> 03:32:58,020
 Paid for by Adderholt for Congress.

4528
03:33:05,220 --> 03:33:06,980
 Good news, Falcon fans.

4529
03:33:07,420 --> 03:33:15,540
 On the road at a tough, tough Golden Tigers stadium, Florence wins it 35-21 over the Russellville Golden Tigers.

4530
03:33:15,540 --> 03:33:19,300
 Kevin Johnson with you, along with Mike Albertson, Jeffrey Jones, and John McDaniel.

4531
03:33:20,760 --> 03:33:26,960
 Man, I tell you what, this Falcon team continues to show me something new every week.

4532
03:33:27,320 --> 03:33:31,400
 Early in the year, we said, whoa, we've got an offense and a running game and a great defense, maybe.

4533
03:33:31,860 --> 03:33:34,740
 Second week, we saw this Falcon team shut down a great running back.

4534
03:33:34,860 --> 03:33:38,540
 Last week, in a defensive stalemate, that Falcon defense being by not breaking.

4535
03:33:38,660 --> 03:33:41,180
 Tonight, a young quarterback grew up a whole lot.

4536
03:33:41,580 --> 03:33:45,380
 His name, by the name, is Costin Mahan, and he really had one of his better games, Mike.

4537
03:33:45,720 --> 03:33:46,440
 He certainly did.

4538
03:33:46,500 --> 03:33:52,560
 Being able to settle in, find a few receivers, you know, he was able to really deliver some special balls there.

4539
03:33:52,760 --> 03:33:57,020
 You know, the one in between defenders where he got over the one and right in front of the others.

4540
03:33:57,900 --> 03:34:05,580
 In that corner on a big play on that third down, that was a huge play, being able to keep his feet and find a guy downfield.

4541
03:34:06,400 --> 03:34:11,140
 In Elliott, early on in the game, or in that third quarter, a huge play.

4542
03:34:11,760 --> 03:34:20,540
 And to find Kirkman over the middle into the end zone for Kirkman's first high school touchdown at this varsity level was beautiful.

4543
03:34:20,740 --> 03:34:28,420
 You know, just being able to open up and catch some guys down the field and deliver some big plays to keep drives going.

4544
03:34:28,880 --> 03:34:36,140
 It's going to keep those defenses honest in the future, and you can't key on the run when we're able to hit guys on the outside, and Costin was able to show that today.

4545
03:34:36,820 --> 03:34:39,560
 Our final stats brought to us by our good friends at Chick-fil-A.

4546
03:34:39,700 --> 03:34:42,880
 John McDaniels has done an outstanding job in a very difficult – it's a great standing.

4547
03:34:42,960 --> 03:34:43,400
 They've been great.

4548
03:34:43,640 --> 03:34:49,800
 It's just a small, small venue as far as our radio booth, and so it's hard to see out two windows, and we've had to work around each other.

4549
03:34:50,060 --> 03:34:53,120
 But John did an outstanding job tonight as well, so John, I'll let you take it away.

4550
03:34:53,120 --> 03:34:53,560
 Thank you, Kevin.

4551
03:34:53,600 --> 03:35:00,620
 I want to reiterate what we've all said, but I want to say it for myself, that the hospitality here at Russellville has been top-notch.

4552
03:35:00,700 --> 03:35:07,860
 Thank you to everyone who has helped us, provided food, been so nice, and making sure that we had everything that we need.

4553
03:35:08,240 --> 03:35:09,940
 Thank you to all the faculty and staff.

4554
03:35:09,940 --> 03:35:20,540
 Now for our final game stats, the home team Golden Tigers for the game, 247 yards of offense, 35 rushes for 158 yards,

4555
03:35:21,000 --> 03:35:31,820
 7-for-13 passing for 89 yards, 13 first downs tonight, 3-for-8 third-down conversion attempts, 0-for-1 on fourth-down attempts,

4556
03:35:32,880 --> 03:35:43,340
 2 penalties for 30 yards tonight, no turnovers, PATs 3-for-3, time of possession 23 minutes, 58 seconds.

4557
03:35:44,160 --> 03:35:56,440
 The Falcons tonight, 413 yards of offense, we had 41 rushes for 288 yards, 8-for-10 passing for 125 yards.

4558
03:35:56,940 --> 03:36:03,500
 We had 18 first downs tonight, 3-for-6 on third-down conversion, and no fourth-down attempts.

4559
03:36:04,040 --> 03:36:10,100
 Big bugaboo we're going to work on, 12 penalties, 105 yards, and that was just accepted penalties.

4560
03:36:10,100 --> 03:36:18,900
 We had no turnovers, 5-for-5 on our PAT attempts, and our time of possession, 23 minutes, 57 seconds.

4561
03:36:19,520 --> 03:36:24,080
 Cost of tonight, 7-for-9 for 117 yards and a touchdown.

4562
03:36:25,040 --> 03:36:31,740
 And I've got DeCarson Johnson with at least 18 carries, 181 yards, and a touch.

4563
03:36:32,620 --> 03:36:35,520
 Man, I'm glad I don't have to do the player of the game on these games.

4564
03:36:35,680 --> 03:36:36,900
 These guys make it hard on you.

4565
03:36:36,980 --> 03:36:40,480
 It's just every time you turn around, somebody's stepping up and making a play.

4566
03:36:41,120 --> 03:36:43,700
 Russellville made it difficult early on with 10-33 to go.

4567
03:36:44,040 --> 03:36:47,920
 The third play of the game, they find a long pass play from Cleveland to Clement.

4568
03:36:48,100 --> 03:36:53,640
 It was 7-0 on the 58-yard touchdown after the extra point, and Russellville fans were celebrating big time,

4569
03:36:53,720 --> 03:36:54,720
 and Florence was like, oh no.

4570
03:36:55,140 --> 03:36:57,380
 But late in the first quarter, Florence answers back.

4571
03:36:57,380 --> 03:37:01,940
 A long drive of nine plays, 68 yards, culminated on a fourth, I think it was fourth down, actually.

4572
03:37:02,260 --> 03:37:05,640
 We said no fourth down, but it might have been third down and a goal at the one-yard line.

4573
03:37:05,740 --> 03:37:09,800
 Mahan sneaks it in, and that touchdown with Greenhall's extra point tied it up at seven.

4574
03:37:10,160 --> 03:37:12,900
 In the second quarter, once again, here comes Russellville.

4575
03:37:13,220 --> 03:37:16,060
 It's time, Taurus Davis, who is a fabulous running back.

4576
03:37:16,400 --> 03:37:20,900
 15-yard touchdown run with five minutes to go to cap an eight-play, 91-yard drive

4577
03:37:20,900 --> 03:37:23,440
 that was really aided by a lot of Falcon penalties.

4578
03:37:23,560 --> 03:37:24,800
 That was a big part of that as well.

4579
03:37:24,900 --> 03:37:27,480
 Then the Falcons, though, would answer back with five minutes to go.

4580
03:37:27,560 --> 03:37:31,340
 They would take the ball, drive it down the field, and with 29 seconds to go in the half,

4581
03:37:31,740 --> 03:37:33,600
 it was Kayon Williams doing it again.

4582
03:37:33,900 --> 03:37:38,980
 He goes in for the touchdown to cap the 11-play, 80-yard drive, tied at 14 at the half.

4583
03:37:39,280 --> 03:37:42,080
 The third quarter, Falcons, hey, one of the biggest players of the game.

4584
03:37:42,160 --> 03:37:43,600
 Maybe they won the coin toss.

4585
03:37:43,900 --> 03:37:45,140
 Let's defer to the second half.

4586
03:37:45,500 --> 03:37:49,740
 Florence got the ball in the second half, and they go 73 yards and seven plays.

4587
03:37:50,040 --> 03:37:54,020
 This time, it was Mahan using the passing game to a wide-open Justin Kirkman,

4588
03:37:54,020 --> 03:37:57,280
 who made an incredible play, getting by three defenders, crossing the field.

4589
03:37:57,600 --> 03:38:02,260
 Wide open, 17-yard touchdown, and the sophomore-to-sophomore connection made it 21-14.

4590
03:38:02,780 --> 03:38:05,300
 That's Greenhall, again, was perfect on all his PATs.

4591
03:38:05,580 --> 03:38:10,640
 Then the Falcons got the ball back after a defensive stand, and once again, the Falcons did it in two plays.

4592
03:38:10,980 --> 03:38:12,400
 What a run by DeCarson Johnson.

4593
03:38:12,740 --> 03:38:13,980
 He was bouncing off players.

4594
03:38:14,080 --> 03:38:15,040
 He was running through players.

4595
03:38:15,140 --> 03:38:16,240
 He was stepping through players.

4596
03:38:16,540 --> 03:38:20,660
 He went all the way down to the five-yard line on one play for a game of about 65,

4597
03:38:21,040 --> 03:38:23,960
 and he kept it off with a five-yard touchdown to make it 28-14.

4598
03:38:24,400 --> 03:38:28,940
 That one long run by DeCarson Johnson might have been the backbreaker right there in the game.

4599
03:38:29,340 --> 03:38:32,420
 And finally, the Falcons put it away with 8-18 to go in the fourth quarter.

4600
03:38:32,800 --> 03:38:36,140
 This time, Kayon Williams said, if Mr. Johnson can do it, so can I.

4601
03:38:36,240 --> 03:38:37,900
 Breaking tackles, cutting back and forth.

4602
03:38:38,220 --> 03:38:41,920
 Step by what would have been a tackle in the backfield from a safety blitz,

4603
03:38:41,920 --> 03:38:43,880
 and goes 15 yards with a touchdown.

4604
03:38:44,100 --> 03:38:45,100
 The PAT was good.

4605
03:38:45,580 --> 03:38:46,980
 Florence led it 35-14.

4606
03:38:47,480 --> 03:38:52,560
 The Falcon defense made Russellville go all the way for about a 13-play drive that took seven minutes.

4607
03:38:52,920 --> 03:38:56,860
 The Tigers would score a token touchdown from Davis from three yards out,

4608
03:38:57,180 --> 03:39:02,780
 but the onside kick was recovered, and Florence is celebrating a 4-0 season right now,

4609
03:39:03,080 --> 03:39:08,460
 winning it 35-21 over a really, really good Russellville Golden Tiger team.

4610
03:39:08,460 --> 03:39:13,940
 And let me say, I interviewed Coach Daryl Higgins many, many times over the years.

4611
03:39:14,300 --> 03:39:15,140
 A class act.

4612
03:39:15,480 --> 03:39:16,460
 He knows what he's doing.

4613
03:39:16,560 --> 03:39:17,140
 He gets it.

4614
03:39:17,400 --> 03:39:18,300
 He's a good guy.

4615
03:39:18,380 --> 03:39:19,300
 He's a good family guy.

4616
03:39:19,680 --> 03:39:24,180
 And how many times I've seen him come to the Saturday morning breakfast we do here on 93.9,

4617
03:39:24,200 --> 03:39:27,720
 the score at 8 a.m., and turn around and leave and drive all the way to Troy, Alabama,

4618
03:39:27,800 --> 03:39:29,360
 or somewhere else to see his son play.

4619
03:39:30,180 --> 03:39:32,840
 He could have easily skipped the breakfast, but he did it every time.

4620
03:39:32,880 --> 03:39:33,860
 He's just a class act.

4621
03:39:34,160 --> 03:39:34,940
 So hats off to him.

4622
03:39:34,980 --> 03:39:35,840
 They've got a great team.

4623
03:39:36,140 --> 03:39:37,520
 And trust me, 5A, get ready.

4624
03:39:37,520 --> 03:39:39,140
 You're going to hear from the Golden Tigers this year.

4625
03:39:39,220 --> 03:39:39,740
 They're not through.

4626
03:39:40,080 --> 03:39:42,760
 They've got a lot of things to happen there, and they're going to be pretty fun to watch.

4627
03:39:43,040 --> 03:39:45,020
 Let's get our final thoughts from all our guys here.

4628
03:39:45,140 --> 03:39:47,080
 Let's start with our sideline guy, Jeffrey Jones.

4629
03:39:47,460 --> 03:39:49,580
 JJ, when you looked at this game tonight, what did you see?

4630
03:39:50,660 --> 03:39:54,500
 I didn't see as much adversity as I thought I would have tonight.

4631
03:39:54,820 --> 03:40:00,520
 We had some microphone troubles, and I apologize if I cut anybody off at any point during the broadcast tonight,

4632
03:40:00,520 --> 03:40:07,500
 but I found two holes on the sidelines that I could actually hear the broadcast and I could work with.

4633
03:40:07,660 --> 03:40:09,080
 But outstanding job.

4634
03:40:09,220 --> 03:40:10,600
 You know, I was thinking about it earlier.

4635
03:40:11,180 --> 03:40:14,240
 This is the first loss he's had in a long time.

4636
03:40:14,720 --> 03:40:15,120
 Yes.

4637
03:40:15,120 --> 03:40:17,380
 It breaks a streak of losses.

4638
03:40:17,820 --> 03:40:22,300
 He actually had 21, I think, or 22 straight games that he's won as a coach,

4639
03:40:22,340 --> 03:40:24,800
 and this is the first loss in 22 or 23 games, something like that.

4640
03:40:24,800 --> 03:40:25,560
 That's phenomenal.

4641
03:40:26,180 --> 03:40:30,020
 You know, we talk about all these scenarios during the breaks and whatnot.

4642
03:40:31,440 --> 03:40:35,620
 We got – this game right here is when we circle on everybody's –

4643
03:40:35,620 --> 03:40:37,820
 because the defense has to unlearn everything.

4644
03:40:38,040 --> 03:40:39,200
 Hats off to Coach Wisdom.

4645
03:40:39,840 --> 03:40:41,480
 Man, he had these guys pretty prepared.

4646
03:40:41,660 --> 03:40:45,340
 You know, we didn't play perfect, but we – you know, towards the end of the third quarter,

4647
03:40:46,420 --> 03:40:49,760
 I had a feeling, I was like, we got – we figured this out.

4648
03:40:49,960 --> 03:40:51,700
 You know, they're not going to break these big plays on us.

4649
03:40:51,700 --> 03:40:54,340
 You know, we were playing good fundamental football.

4650
03:40:54,800 --> 03:40:57,360
 The offense came around pretty good tonight, just like we needed.

4651
03:40:57,800 --> 03:41:01,380
 And, you know, I'm going to give Kevin Johnson, our main guy, credit.

4652
03:41:02,000 --> 03:41:03,500
 He called it 35-21.

4653
03:41:04,140 --> 03:41:10,420
 I will say I called it too, but I have proof that I sent a text to my brother, 208 today,

4654
03:41:10,480 --> 03:41:11,500
 saying 35-21.

4655
03:41:11,880 --> 03:41:13,300
 I'll take it any way we can get.

4656
03:41:13,320 --> 03:41:15,280
 I'll take 35-34 at this point.

4657
03:41:15,480 --> 03:41:18,420
 Getting out of here, all I got to say is we got to pack it up.

4658
03:41:18,440 --> 03:41:19,100
 We got to get out of here.

4659
03:41:19,180 --> 03:41:20,820
 We don't want any more Russell Tigers this year.

4660
03:41:20,860 --> 03:41:21,460
 They are good.

4661
03:41:21,460 --> 03:41:23,000
 That's well put, Jeffrey Johns.

4662
03:41:23,040 --> 03:41:26,360
 Let's go to John McDaniel, our statistician, your final thought on tonight's big win.

4663
03:41:26,600 --> 03:41:32,400
 Well, I'm echoed what we're probably all going to say in that this is a really good team

4664
03:41:32,400 --> 03:41:33,500
 that we just played against.

4665
03:41:33,820 --> 03:41:35,580
 They're only going to get better.

4666
03:41:35,700 --> 03:41:38,440
 This is a Russell that's building a program.

4667
03:41:38,980 --> 03:41:44,320
 It goes to show, we've talked about it, their coaching staff, we're familiar with all of them.

4668
03:41:44,380 --> 03:41:47,520
 But when you can coach football, it doesn't matter what level you're at.

4669
03:41:47,960 --> 03:41:49,720
 When you're a good coach, you're a good coach.

4670
03:41:49,780 --> 03:41:51,440
 And you see these guys gave our guys.

4671
03:41:51,620 --> 03:41:55,220
 We wound up having a lot more depth than it showed in the second half.

4672
03:41:55,740 --> 03:41:57,340
 And that was the difference in the game.

4673
03:41:57,480 --> 03:42:03,120
 But they would show that they had all the answers if they could just got a few extra breaks.

4674
03:42:03,120 --> 03:42:07,580
 As we said, Costin Mahan, with the play of the game, what, everything went wrong.

4675
03:42:07,680 --> 03:42:10,600
 And he made, he just, as we say, a player made a play.

4676
03:42:11,260 --> 03:42:17,300
 Broke a tackle at the two and completed the pass that was, in my opinion, the complete turning point of the game.

4677
03:42:17,440 --> 03:42:19,440
 So the Falcons did a great job.

4678
03:42:19,880 --> 03:42:22,020
 Coach Wisdom had the wing tee.

4679
03:42:22,080 --> 03:42:25,220
 He ran that in high school as an all-state lineman.

4680
03:42:26,000 --> 03:42:30,480
 He was real familiar with that and helped get his team ready to play.

4681
03:42:30,540 --> 03:42:31,420
 And they played well.

4682
03:42:31,880 --> 03:42:37,540
 And the Falcons are going to start being everybody's target when they come to town.

4683
03:42:37,540 --> 03:42:40,060
 It's going to be the biggest game of the season if we can keep winning.

4684
03:42:40,700 --> 03:42:46,580
 And we're going to need much better weeks of practice because it's a short walk from the penthouse to the outhouse.

4685
03:42:46,660 --> 03:42:48,760
 And our guys didn't have a good week this week.

4686
03:42:49,240 --> 03:42:55,020
 And hopefully next week they realize it takes every, it takes all the days of the week to get ready for Friday.

4687
03:42:55,440 --> 03:43:00,300
 So looking forward to seeing what Coach Morrison can do with his team and how much better they can get.

4688
03:43:00,800 --> 03:43:02,940
 Mike Albertson, you and I have done this for a long time.

4689
03:43:03,020 --> 03:43:06,920
 And it's just four games in, but it's been a long time since we've been 4-0 in a season.

4690
03:43:07,540 --> 03:43:10,520
 2007, the last time the Falcons were 4-0 to start a season.

4691
03:43:10,900 --> 03:43:12,600
 And that was a region championship year.

4692
03:43:12,880 --> 03:43:15,840
 I'm not saying that's going to happen here yet, but I will say,

4693
03:43:15,880 --> 03:43:17,720
 this Falcon team has been quite impressive.

4694
03:43:18,120 --> 03:43:19,700
 The Falcons have everything out in front of them.

4695
03:43:19,780 --> 03:43:21,680
 Everything that they want is still playable.

4696
03:43:21,920 --> 03:43:24,900
 I mean, you start out a season 4-0, the sky's the limit at that point.

4697
03:43:24,960 --> 03:43:29,180
 You've got to start really hammering each and every week and come with a business-like attitude.

4698
03:43:29,740 --> 03:43:34,220
 You know, some of our, you know, our schedule seemed to be a little front-loaded.

4699
03:43:34,580 --> 03:43:36,900
 There's still some tough matchups coming down the road.

4700
03:43:37,000 --> 03:43:40,780
 So, like, let's not rest on our laurels here and just kind of hang it up.

4701
03:43:40,780 --> 03:43:45,200
 We have a lot of improvement to do, but if we do, we can have an extremely special season.

4702
03:43:45,660 --> 03:43:47,840
 This Falcon team is built from top to bottom.

4703
03:43:47,980 --> 03:43:50,480
 Their secondary has improved over the course of time.

4704
03:43:50,800 --> 03:43:55,080
 We're starting to see some depth at the wide receiver position that hasn't been seen before.

4705
03:43:55,520 --> 03:43:56,720
 You know, welcome to Tripp Morris.

4706
03:43:56,880 --> 03:44:04,680
 He got his first, you know, his first little taste of play here and being able to come out with a couple of big catches.

4707
03:44:05,040 --> 03:44:08,740
 Justin Kirkman with his first touchdown, that was a big play.

4708
03:44:09,000 --> 03:44:13,800
 Being able to watch these guys grow before our eyes each and every week is one of the joys that I get out of this.

4709
03:44:13,980 --> 03:44:19,040
 And this Falcon program has really worked hard to build and develop this.

4710
03:44:19,140 --> 03:44:21,480
 So, you talk about the sophomore class being really good.

4711
03:44:21,560 --> 03:44:22,920
 That junior class is really good.

4712
03:44:22,980 --> 03:44:24,100
 We've got a bunch of great seniors.

4713
03:44:24,640 --> 03:44:25,920
 This is what the program's all about.

4714
03:44:26,160 --> 03:44:28,180
 And then Coach Morrison has these guys ready to go.

4715
03:44:28,560 --> 03:44:29,920
 It's been a great run.

4716
03:44:29,920 --> 03:44:33,120
 You know, again, thanks to Russell Wolfe for their great hospitality.

4717
03:44:33,660 --> 03:44:37,400
 The principal, Norman Lear, has been top-notch, has really taken care of us.

4718
03:44:37,860 --> 03:44:39,900
 And I'm looking forward to this matchup.

4719
03:44:39,960 --> 03:44:44,500
 This is my first time here, and I'm looking forward to this matchup, not because it's going to be easy,

4720
03:44:44,600 --> 03:44:46,720
 but because it's going to be great football with two great communities.

4721
03:44:46,940 --> 03:44:47,600
 And it is.

4722
03:44:47,700 --> 03:44:50,800
 You know, how many times have we been in the past years as a 7A school,

4723
03:44:51,220 --> 03:44:53,940
 and we'd look across the way and there was nobody here for the other team,

4724
03:44:53,980 --> 03:44:56,580
 and we'd go on the road even, and they didn't have any fans here.

4725
03:44:56,600 --> 03:44:59,860
 I'm telling you what, I've been to Russell Wolfe, Calvert County games over the years,

4726
03:44:59,960 --> 03:45:03,640
 and this Russell Golden Tiger community takes their high school seriously,

4727
03:45:03,980 --> 03:45:07,940
 and they were packed from one end to the other, and it just feels right.

4728
03:45:08,020 --> 03:45:10,180
 I mean, you walk in, you're like, this is high school football.

4729
03:45:10,660 --> 03:45:11,840
 And they do it right.

4730
03:45:11,940 --> 03:45:14,900
 I mean, from the time we were pulling up, there was no hassle with us.

4731
03:45:14,980 --> 03:45:16,680
 They're like, you can park where you want to, come up here.

4732
03:45:16,900 --> 03:45:21,280
 They were taking care of us before we got in here, coming up to say hi to us, listening to our broadcast.

4733
03:45:21,820 --> 03:45:23,080
 You know, it was genuine.

4734
03:45:23,480 --> 03:45:26,760
 And I've just, the people of Russell are just really good people.

4735
03:45:27,120 --> 03:45:27,860
 They always have been.

4736
03:45:27,920 --> 03:45:31,560
 I served here as my first job as a minister when I was 18 years old,

4737
03:45:31,620 --> 03:45:33,200
 and I got to know them for three years.

4738
03:45:33,280 --> 03:45:34,520
 I was like, man, that's a good place.

4739
03:45:34,860 --> 03:45:38,440
 They were my rivals in high school, but, man, they are great people, and they still are.

4740
03:45:38,500 --> 03:45:40,040
 So hats off to the Russell Golden Tigers.

4741
03:45:40,460 --> 03:45:41,920
 And you're going to hear from them in the playoffs.

4742
03:45:42,120 --> 03:45:43,120
 I really believe that.

4743
03:45:43,180 --> 03:45:46,180
 This Russell team will be a factor in the 5A playoffs,

4744
03:45:46,340 --> 03:45:49,700
 and I wouldn't want to see them early on for any team on the other side.

4745
03:45:50,240 --> 03:45:54,320
 My final thought really is this, and I'll say it, you know, again,

4746
03:45:54,480 --> 03:45:56,400
 you can talk about player after player after player.

4747
03:45:56,760 --> 03:45:58,360
 I want to give a hat off to the coaching staff.

4748
03:45:58,760 --> 03:46:01,920
 I think the coaching staff rallied this team in halftime.

4749
03:46:02,300 --> 03:46:04,140
 I know they did everything they could, but at halftime,

4750
03:46:04,380 --> 03:46:06,300
 it seemed like they settled the team down.

4751
03:46:06,600 --> 03:46:08,040
 They said, come on, now let's go to this.

4752
03:46:08,220 --> 03:46:10,960
 I don't know what was said at the half, but I just know this.

4753
03:46:11,000 --> 03:46:13,560
 It was enough said that things happened, and it was good,

4754
03:46:13,560 --> 03:46:16,500
 and Florence comes away with a 35-21 victory.

4755
03:46:16,840 --> 03:46:20,680
 Hats off to Kenny Morrison and his staff for doing an excellent job tonight

4756
03:46:20,680 --> 03:46:22,980
 against a very good Russellville team.

4757
03:46:23,080 --> 03:46:26,200
 Our next broadcast, next Friday night at home,

4758
03:46:26,280 --> 03:46:29,260
 homecoming versus the Red Raiders of Decatur High School.

4759
03:46:29,600 --> 03:46:31,860
 Coach John Ritter and his Red Raiders will be headed this way.

4760
03:46:32,160 --> 03:46:34,040
 We look forward to that one as well.

4761
03:46:34,120 --> 03:46:37,100
 Don't forget, after our broadcast here on 93.9 The Score,

4762
03:46:37,400 --> 03:46:40,880

03:46:40,880 --> 03:46:43,660
 and James Moody will have all the local scores as well.

4764
03:46:43,860 --> 03:46:45,500

4767
03:46:50,640 --> 03:46:53,160
 who take care of me way more than y'all realize, folks.

4768
03:46:53,500 --> 03:46:54,760
 I get a lot of pats on the back.

4769
03:46:54,900 --> 03:46:58,080
 These guys are really the ones that work so hard behind the scenes.

4770
03:46:58,400 --> 03:47:01,840
 Cannot say enough about them while they make this broadcast the best broadcast

4771
03:47:01,840 --> 03:47:04,520
 in high school football, I believe, in all of the state of Alabama.

4772
03:47:04,880 --> 03:47:06,980
 I'm Kevin Johnson saying have a great night.

4773
03:47:06,980 --> 03:47:07,720
 Go Falcons.

4774
03:47:08,040 --> 03:47:10,380
 And, folks, as always, on Sunday, I'll see you in church.

4775
03:47:10,500 --> 03:47:11,020
