The High Five Sports Game of the Week
is brought to you by Motley Injury Attorneys.
Class 7A Region 7 is the very best kind of mess.
Five teams entered tonight with one loss.
You saw Parkview beat Norcross earlier in the show.
That helped sort things out a little,
which brings us to our Game of the Week.
Peachtree Ridge and North Gwinnett both 6-1 on the season.
Something of a region elimination game with all the chaos
and congestion in the standings.
Kelly Price and Super Blaine come in.
We're at the game.
Leslie, hit it.
They're really our biggest rival, you know, in every sport.
We really like to take this game serious.
Any reason for the visor tonight?
Really just so I can look good on the field.
It helps keep the lights out of my eyes a little bit better.
A lot of us like to take naps, listen to our music,
visualize us being successful.
Scheduled us for homecoming, so we got to show them.
We got to ruin some homecomings today.
We got to.
Hey, man, it's a disrespect.
They think they can come over here, come to our side of the world,
and step on the field with us, man.
Nothing like hate week after a bye week.
And how about the disrespect of scheduling
your region rival for homecoming?
But a slow start for both sides coming out of their bye week.
So this one scoreless until 8:43 on the clock in the second quarter.
Banks-Halcom takes this one to the bank.
37 yards later, it is 7-0 North Gwinnett.
Next possession for the Lions,
Derek Washington Jr. gets his pause on the pass.
C.J. Cardona lays out for the pick.
And North Gwinnett turns that turnover into points.
Stephen Brown making it look easy
as he looks around like, where is everyone?
So with that and a two-point conversion, the Bulldogs go up 15-0.
Less than 10 seconds before halftime,
Peachtree Ridge with its best drive yet.
But they get nothing out of it
as Zane Belfield gets sacked by Marshall Brown.
At the break, the scoreboard read 18-0.
But the Lions roared with a rally in the third.
Belfield gets it to Davian Harvey-Lovell,
who extends to break the plane.
The gap now only 32-18.
The North Gwinnett shuts the door in the fourth.
Halcombe hits Evan Hawkins,
who gets past all those Lions into the end zone,
gives himself a little shoe shine, and why not hit two sellies
as this score lifts the Bulldogs to a dominant 39-18 region win.
So, Coach, a big win, obviously, coming out of the bye,
coming off that first loss of the season.
What did you like about your team's response in this game?
The resilience from practice,
the weight room, the way they worked all week
to want to come back and have that winning feeling again.
Getting it against your rival,
the Battle of Suwannee, you keep calling it.
How much sweeter was that?
So much sweeter against that blue team down the street.
So much sweeter.
And speaking of sweet, here's this guy Juicebox that I hear.
He was actually homecoming king as well.
What gave you the juice in this game?
You know, honestly, the guys behind me really bring the juice.
You know, in the weight room, we had a bye week last week,
And we had the weight room was open and the field was open
and I saw a lot of guys getting working
And that let me know that I got to work for my guys
So we really we really handle business out here,
you know playing that blue school, you know, we got to bring energy
All right, well here's something else to give you some energy
the high-five the gold hand the gold crown
I love a great game of the week
