Stevenson High School on to the second round in Class 4A after a win last night. Victor Prieto hard at work getting ready for the High Five playoffs across the state tonight. And I guess VP's got a whole support team down there in the bunker making sure we bring you all the winners every upset. The second round matchups, he's getting snacks down there on High Five Sports tonight. Got plenty of great games including our Game of the Week. Our Kelly Price is live at Heritage High School in Conyers. KP, the visiting team, New Manchester, comes in having won six of their last seven games. You are good. Yeah, momentum is going to be a factor for both these teams. Obviously, you guys are playing an undefeated team coming into their house here. I mean, talk about bringing the energy on the road in the first round of the playoffs. Well, definitely, you know, we want to bring our own juice, you know. It's our third year in a row in the playoffs, and we want to be on our best. So, you know, it's just cold today, but it's cold everywhere. So we've got to control our controllables and go out and play and have fun. How does that weather affect it? Because I know I'm cold out here. I mean, it's cold, but everybody's got to deal with it. And whoever deals with it the best and just accepts it, that's who's going to come out victorious. So the squad you guys are facing, they just had four interceptions. What's the key for making your quarterbacks, you play with two of them, comfortable in this game early? But I'm just getting in the groove early, you know. Can't turn the ball over and just taking what they give us. What's been kind of the identity for you guys on both sides of the ball this year? What have you learned about your team through the season? We've been a young football team, and so we had some struggles early on, but those struggles really kind of helped mold our team, some things that we needed. And, you know, we play off each other. Sometimes we've been able to run the ball, and we've been able to throw the ball much better lately. So that's been, you know, coming in time for us. You guys are trying to make that round of 16 for the first time since 2020. I know that was before you got here, but talk about the process. What's the progress through the couple years that you've been here for New Manchester? You know, unbelievable progress. You know, when I took this program over, it was 0 and 10. You know, we've had great success and, you know, coming in the right direction. And we want to, you know, take care of business tonight and get to that second round. All right, well, we'll see how it goes in our Game of the Week. Like you said, Justin, New Manchester and Heritage out here in Conyers should be a good one. As long as we can all stay warm, it should be a good one. Bundle up out there at our Game of the Week. Kelly Price, thank you so much. Highlights of that one and so much more.
