The High Five Sports Game of the Week
is brought to you by Motlick Injury Attorneys.
What more can you say about the turnaround
at Heritage High School by head coach Quincy Carter?
Last year, nine losses.
This season, with the former UGA quarterback in charge, nine wins.
Tonight, tough playoff opener against New Manchester,
who's coming in winning six of their last seven games,
and the only losses in their season came against real good opponents.
Kelly Price and Super Blaine come in at our Game of the Week.
Tim, hit it.
Fried chicken, green beans, and we have the mac and cheese.
They're your champions, baby.
They ain't got no world beaters out there.
They getting to the ball.
The start of a new regime feels great
to finally get heritage back on the map.
New Manchester hasn't been in the round
of 16 since 2020, but Heritage hasn't been in
the big dance at all since 2019
and wants more than its first region title in 10 years.
But the Pats found themselves in a two-score hole
in the opening six minutes of this game.
Malachi Pace connecting with JoJo Mitchell here to take a 14-0 lead.
That grew to 21-zip in the second quarter, but not so fast.
The kickoff after that third score goes right
into the waiting hands of Jalen Henderson,
and he takes it back all the way to get Heritage on the board.
These Pats fans look miserably cold, but I promise they were excited.
And how about that offense thawing out?
Jacob Jones tricks out Super Blaine behind the lens just
as well as he tricks out the last line of the Jags defense.
Jones scurries into the end zone and just as quickly,
Heritage back in this thing, 21-14 at half.
And the Patriots ate up most of the third quarter on this drive.
Lucius Taylor scanning his options
and Amari Robinson is a pretty good one there for an 18-yard score.
And this thing is tied up 21 apiece.
But it took more than regulation to settle this one.
And that's when New Manchester scored again
for the first time since the second quarter,
as KJ Klepper keeps it himself.
But Heritage counters with buy one,
get one Josh Taylor ties in extra time.
But New Manchester matches again.
So at 36 all, to triple overtime we go.
The game goes to alternating single-play two-point conversion attempts
from the three-yard line
until a winner is decided, and Terius Rogers calls game right here
as the Jaguars claw their way to survive and advance, 42-36.
Three overtimes to get into that next round of the playoffs.
Describe this moment.
We work every day for this,
and I'm just proud of our young men just continuing to fight
and just believing in what we're doing,
and the resiliency paid off tonight.
It feels amazing right now. I'm ready to go.
All right.
And we're ready to go with this trophy.
Triple overtime in the playoffs.
What?
