Hurry up, y'all going to be late for school.

Mom, I'm ready already.

Bo, James, you are so slow.

You are going to be late for your own funeral.

Yes, ma'am.

Look at your face.

All ashy.

Take off those glasses.

There.

That's better now.

You have a good day.

You too, bye.

Bye.

Stop it right now, Bo.

Now we don't want to end up back in the principal's office, do we?

No, sir.

Okay.

Thank you, Mr. Donnell.

Not a problem Miss Guffey

They always laughing at me.

Bo, I know it's difficult.

Kids are going be kids.

But you know what I believe?

One day you're going to have the last laugh.

You're going be on top of the world.

You're my little quiet thunder.

What does that mean?

Means there's something special about you.

Something unique.

I just know it.

How about we go for pizza this weekend?

Yep, yes, ma'am.

Yes, and Bo is very strong for his age,

but I assure you this will not happen again.

Whether he's strong or weak for his age does not matter.

He goes to school to get an education.

Not to get into fights.

Now, I'm a single parent.

I don't need this drama in my life.

I assure you this will not happen again.

Is it all right if I take him out for pizza this weekend?

Sure, Ms. Guffey.

Just make sure he that behaves and he does what you tell him what to do.

Now if he gets out of line, you put that belt on him.

Mrs. Christian, he'll be just fine.

Bo James, you want some more Kool-Aid?

No, ma'am.

Kim, you want some more Kool-Aid?

No, ma'am.

Looks like I'm going to have to put you

in that Man of Principle program

that Brother Malone and Brother Woodie have at the church.

Take your band-aid off and let me see your cut.

So, what's your problem?

Don't hump up in your shoulders.

Big boys don't hump up in their shoulders.

Now, you are big boy.

But, but they're always laughing at me

every time I stutter.

Bo James, you're going to grow out of this

just like your uncle did.

But you can't start fighting

with everyone that laughs at you.

That is not how the real works, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Now, are you gonna do better?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay, now I love you.

Love you too.

And I love you.

Love you too, Mom.

Now, you come give me a hug.

That's my boy.

Resolve the final status of the West Bank in Gaza,

and then to produce an Israeli-Jordanian peace treaty.

Hi, if you've got a safety deposit box at the bank,

chances are some of these are in it.

United States savings bonds are the most

widely held securities in the world.

Right now, Americans.

Bo James, where is your glasses?

Now look, I don't have all day.

Now my feet swole, my back hurts

and my son done moved back in.

I'll pass.

Kim?

Yes, ma'am.

Take your dirty clothes to the washhouse,

so I can wash them in the morning.

Yes, ma'am.

To bring you the constant variety of sport,

the thrill of victory.

Bo?

Yes, ma'am.

It's your turn to wash the dishes tonight.

Yes, ma'am.

Wait, can I finish drawing first?

The human drama of athletic competition.

What are you drawing now?

I'm drawing a Freightliner truck,

and now I'm draw Earl making a touchdown.

Let me see.

Do you like it?

Son, I love it.

Your daddy could draw too.

Really?

Uhm, hmm.

That's where you get it from.

I remember when we first started courting.

Your daddy used to draw pictures of me.

Uhm, hmm, your daddy was such a good man.

How did daddy die?

Well, son, I think you old enough now to understand.

You see, it was the night

before our second wedding anniversary.

Your daddy was to drive back home

after dropping off a load in Louisiana,

but his dispatcher wanted him

to drive to Mississippi to pick up another load.

And well, since we needed the extra money, he went ahead

even though he was tired and had been driving all day.

So, on his way back to Texas, he fell asleep at the wheel

during a very bad thunder storm.

He ran into an intersection and was hit by another truck.

That was the night the music died.

Your daddy was such a good man, a hard working man.

A man who loved God and his family.

You were just nine months old at the time

and I was pregnant with your sister.

Mom.

Hmm?

When I get older, I'm going be a football player

and I'm going get you a big, big, big house

just like daddy was going get you.

Oh, son, I know you are.

I know you will.

You be good now.

You obey Miss. Guffey.

So you want to be a football player, huh?

Yes, ma'am.

♪ Throw your, throw your hands up in the air ♪

♪ Throw your hands up in the air ♪

Baby boom, that boy don't like you.

Yes he do.

Girl, no he don't.

He like Bridget.

How you know he like Bridget?

'Cause I just know.

Kim and Gina, you'll go get enough

talking about going with them boys.

All they want to do is lay up with you and get you pregnant.

And as soon as they do that, they going to the next one.

Akiki nothing.

You need to be focused on your books.

Them boys can come later.

Oh my God, these youngins.

These youngins something else.

Bessie, if something happen to my niece,

I'm a blame it on you.

Oh, oh God.

Hey, everybody.

- Hey, nephew. - Hey.

Hey, Bo.

Hey, Aunt Gladys.

Hey, nephew.

Hey, mama.

Hey, Bo.

How was school?

It's all right.

I mean I got a calculus test tomorrow,

and you know, how I hate math.

I'm finna be up all night studying.

How is your love life?

It ain't none.

The only love I got is between me and my weights.

I'll talk to you'll later.

Bessie?

Hmm?

Are you sure Frank is his daddy?

Gladys, now don't start.

You know that Frank is Bo's daddy.

Well, I got to go.

Them heifers at the church want me to bake two cakes

and four pies.

I tell you, Bessie.

I'm tired of them young heifers

depending on me for everything.

You know what?

I'm getting too old for this.

It's time for them little heifers to step up to the plate.

Well, I got to go.

Bye.

Bye.

Speed kills.

We, the Douglas Lions have a tradition of winning.

Every young man that grows up in Grand Marshall

wants to play football for the Douglas Lions.

Why?

Because he wants to be a winner,

and he wants to be among winners.

With that said, we're going down to Houston

to kick some JY Tiger butt.

It doesn't matter if they're predicted to win state.

I don't care if they've got

the best running back in the nation.

Say, man, hey.

When I'm talking, you shut up.

That's what's wrong with you young folks today.

Disrespectful towards authority.

Now the next time you open your mouth when I'm talking,

you go drop down and give me 50.

You go run an extra mile

and you go get this board put on you.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

I say, do you understand?

Yes, sir.

As I was saying.

I don't care if they got the best running back.

I don't care if they had the best middle linebacker,

'cause we the Douglas Lions, and in my opinion,

we got the best team in the state

and the best freshman running back, Bo James.

We go do it.

We got this, all right?

Head to the locker room.

What burns me up coach is bonehead decisions.

You preach and preach to these defensive linemen

that when there's a fumble, you fall on the the ball.

You don't try to pick up the ball and run with it.

Now am I right, coach?

If I'm wrong, you tell me I'm wrong.

You right, coach, you right.

What?

Is He 6'5?

260.

Oh, he's a big boy but he got mush for brains.

And that's how big games are lost.

Finally, let's stop suppressing the spiritual core

of our national being.

Our nation could not have been conceived

without divine help.

Why is it that we can build a nation with our prayers,

but we can't use a school room

- for voluntary prayer? - Mom?

Man, this calculus class is beating me up.

I hate math.

Bo, you've gotten this far.

You go be all right.

The 100th Congress of the United States

- should be remembered- - Say, mom.

You really think I've what it takes to make it to the pros?

Of course you do, Bo.

What makes you ask a question like that?

I mean some of these guys in school

they do good in high school,

but when they get to college it's whole different story.

And some of these guys in college, they excel there.

But they fail on the pro level.

I just don't want to be either of those guys.

Bo James, if you have the faith

the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains.

Do you believe you have what it takes

to make it to the pros?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, if you believe it you can achieve it.

Remember how you used to tell me when you were little

that when you grow up

you wanted to play professional football

and build me this big, fine home.

Yes, ma'am.

Don't mess with my house, Bo.

Yes, ma'am.

I ain't playing.

Bo, I'm about to share with you the secret

on how you can always gain yardage as a running back.

On a very good linebacker.

We on the line scrimmage,

You one yard out from the linebacker.

Wait, wait, let's switch, let's switch.

You play linebacker and I'll play running back.

Ball is snapped, you hit the gap and the LB meets you.

The secret to gaining yards

is to attack one side of his shoulder.

Now, you can do it like Earl and try to run over him.

And since you run like Earl, you probably will.

But to keep the odds in your favor

in terms of gaining yardage

always attack one side of his shoulder.

Makes sense?

- Yes, sir. - All right, next lesson

Yo, Snap, is that the dude you wanted to work for you?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's him.

Mr. want to be big time football player.

Believe that dude think he better than us?

Gone pull up on him.

See if he had a little change of heart.

Mr. big time football player.

Just the man I wanted to see.

Beautiful day in the neighborhood, huh?

Looks like it's going to rain to me.

Yeah yeah, whatever man.

Just wanted to know if you considered hustling for me?

Man you know how it is in the pros.

One hit and you done.

At least out here, you could be making two, three, $400 a day, easily.

Yea, go get your moms some groceries or something.

This is your brain.

This is your brain on dope.

Now get out of my face.

Oh what, we're a comedian now.

Yo, Snap, we got a problem?

Nah man, little homie just tripping.

Hey, don't let them white folks pump your head up.

Make you think you're going pro.

Man, you ain't go do jack.

You go be out here with the rest of us, trick.

Man, let me drop this koon.

Hey, put the gun down.

Quinn, I said put the gun down.

Quinn, I said put the gun down.

Quinn, put the gun down.

Ain't nobody getting shot today.

Besides you know how it is in the hood.

He'll be back.

They always come back.

Let's be out man, go make this delivery.

Looks like it's go rain to me.

What up?

Look, just wondered if you'll consider hustling for me?

Now you know how it is when you go pro.

One hit and you done.

Liftoff, the space shuttle.

Bo James, I really like how you handling things out here.

You work hard.

You stay late.

You've got some of the best running skills I ever seen.

And you are a leader.

In all my years of coaching

I've never seen a freshman like you.

Keep this up for the next 3 years,

every college recruiter in America is going to want you.

And as your coach I'm going to make sure

you get a full ride to college,

but you got a promise me one thing.

Well, actually two.

Keep your grades up, 'cause House Bill 72 ain't no joke.

And don't be out here making no babies.

Yes, sir.

Got it?

Do these two things and I'll go to bat for you.

Yes, sir.

Locker room

Prudhome, get your butt to the locker room

and leave those cheerleaders alone.

Remember class the key thing about derivatives

is that you can split them over addition and subtraction.

For example, you can take a derivative

of seven plus or minus.

You can actually take this derivative

and apply it to both of those terms.

That way you're taking the derivative of-

What was that?

Oh yeah, that's my pager.

- My homeboy calling- - What's a pager?

All right, class, study chapter four, section two.

You're going to be quizzed on it.

See you tomorrow Mrs. Payne.

Actually, you can see me this evening.

Ma'am?

Well, What I mean is you've been struggling with your assignments,

so I was thinking that you could come to my home

for some addition tutoring.

Oh.

Wow.

What about Mr, Mr. Payne?

Mr. Payne doesn't need a tutor, Bo.

True, true.

Oh, wow, man.

Uhmm.

What time would you like me to come by?

How does 6 sound?

I think we can do 6, yes, ma'am.

Then I'll see you at 6.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am.

See you at 6.

Hey Coach Love, have you seen my sister?

Yeah, she said she had to stay

after her 5th period class, why?

Hey, when she comes to practice,

can you let her know I'll be home late.

I'll be studying.

Okay, I'll tell her.

No problem.

It's all about grip.

Good afternoon, I'm Jeff Power,

Grand Marshall Channel 2, local sports.

I'm here with Bo James Christian,

in the entire state of Texas.

You're coming off a big performance.

Yeah, Jeff.

Yeah, I know who you are.

I'm the one who helped recruit you.

I know about all those rushing records

that you broke in high school.

Get it right, Lamont, get it right.

You could have broke the national rushing record,

but you got hurt your senior year.

Yeah, I know all about that.

But you know what?

This is my team and we go win that title this year.

Coach put all the right pieces in place

and one of those pieces include you.

We missed the playoffs by one game last year, one game.

Ain't gonna happen this year.

We going all the way and we go win.

Whatever I got to do.

If I got to put this whole team on my back, we go win

Come on in and have a seat.

I brought you an apple, Mrs. Taylor.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

How did orientation go?

Are you adjusting to college life pretty well?

Oh yes, ma'am.

So far so good.

Kentucky is not so bad.

Have you had a chance to hang out with Lamont?

Oh yeah, kinda, sort of.

He seems like a pretty cool dude.

Smart too.

Wonderful.

They made him team captain his freshman year.

Stick with him.

He's going places.

Yes, ma'am.

Bo, as your freshman counselor,

I am obligated to be candid and up front with you.

The reality is, Bo, a lot of these young men

do not make it to the pros due to a variety of reasons.

My advice to you is, is to stay on top of your studies

and graduate, just in case things don't work out as planned.

Agreed?

Yes, ma'am.

Oh bless me -

Got for it, man.

What?

I need to see you

Huh,Yes or no.

No

Excuse me, ma'am, my name is Bo,

and I just wanted to let you know that you are -

Excuse me, excuse me.

You are very, very beautiful.

Well, thank you, Bo.

My name is Isabel, but my friends call me Krystal.

Well, pleased to meet you Krystal.

Let's just cut to the chase.

You're just trying to get my number.

I mean, if I can make my way up to that,

I mean, yeah, that would be cool.

Well, Mr. Bo, I have a boyfriend,

and I don't think he would like the idea

of another dude trying to get my number.

Are you talking about that guy you was just with?

No, no.

My boyfriend is back home in the Dominican Republic.

Oh, the Dominican Republic.

Do you play football?

Yep.

I guess a little friendly conversation won't hurt.

I agree.

Bessie.

Bessie Mae.

Huh?

Your phone is ringing.

You know I don't answer nobody's phone.

I don't even answer my own phone.

Hello.

Hey, mama.

Oh, hi, Bo.

You doing all right?

Yes, ma'am.

Mama, guess what?

I met a girl today named Krystal.

She pretty, she got long hair and she bright skinned.

Awh, you always did like them bright women.

Oh, okay let me talk to my nephew.

Hey, Bo.

Hey, Aunt Gladys.

I haven't heard from you.

Yes, ma'am.

Yeah.

I hear you got yourself a pretty girl.

A yella hammer.

Well, I'm happy for you.

Auntie Gladys, she's Spanish.

Oh, okay.

Well, let me tell you this.

Don't you go down there and make your mama no grandma.

Yeah, you watch out for them heifers,

'cause they are looking for a young, strong

scholarship athlete to latch on to for the full ride.

You hear me, Bo?

Yes, ma'am.

Love you, auntie.

Yeah, auntie love you too.

Okay, let me let you talk back to your mama.

Uhm, baby, that's feels so good.

Thank you, mami.

So, I went to the last four games.

Yeah.

You one of those bench warmers, huh?

What?

Wait a minute, hold up.

What you know about that anyway?

Oh, I know.

Yeah.

Krystal, let me explain something to you.

Lamont, he is our featured back, okay?

He's the captain of the football team

and a four year starter.

What he trying to do is trying to catch the eyes of those scouts,

so he get drafted into the pros.

Now me, I'm his backup.

If he go down, they put me in the game.

Comprehende?

You mean comprehendes or entiendes?

Yeah, that's what I said.

Yeah, I get it.

..Uhm..

Yeah, right there baby.

Hey, Mr. Football.

I thought I'd find you here on a Saturday.

Hey, Krystal.

Just two more reps.

Oh, that felt good.

You see, in order to be a champion

you got to be willing to do what others won't do.

And besides, I promised my mama I'll build her a new home

when I make it to the pros.

So uh, how's your schedule looking tonight?

You think you can uh, pencil your Mr. Football man in?

I don't know.

I may have to call this an illegal motion.

What?

So, what you go do?

You go penalize me?

I don't know.

It depends.

Depends on what?

On how you perform off the field.

Nature sounds

This is such a nice place, Bo.

So peaceful and quiet.

Yeah, it's a little spot I like to come to

when I want to get away.

It's very nice and romantic.

Krystal, there's been something

I've been wanting to talk to you about

that I've never shared with anyone else.

Really?

What is it, Bo?

Well, when I was in high school,

my math teacher she tried to hit on me.

What?

How did this happen?

I was having problems in calculus

and one day after class she invited me over

to her house to study.

Did you go?

Yeah.

And as soon as he husband left and went to work,

she started asking about girls

and rubbing on my shoulders and stuff.

What?

Yeah.

What did you do?

I grabbed my things,

told her I had to leave and I left.

Well, you did the right thing, Bo.

Yeah?

Yeah.

And thank you for sharing.

I feel so special.

Well, speaking of special,

Think I got something that will make you feel even more special.

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

Close your eyes.

No peeking.

Okay.

Open your eyes.

Bo, did you draw this?

Nah, I paid my homeboy to do it.

I didn't mean it that way, Bo.

This is so sweet.

Nobody has ever drawn a portrait of me before.

I bet you do this for all the ladies, Mr. Football.

Only for those I care about and that I love.

Bo, you love me?

Yeah.

You finally said it.

Come on, baby, I'm sorry.

No, you're not.

You know I'm sorry for what I did.

You're not sorry, I'm done.

You know how much I love you, baby.

- I'm done with you. - We're just getting started.

I'm done with you.

Come on, baby, don't say those things.

No, it's over, it's over.

Don't say those things.

Hello.

Hey, mama, how you doing?

Hey, Bo James, I'm doing fine.

About to head out to Blockbuster

to rent a movie for Kim and mama.

Are you doing all right?

I'm doing great, mama.

Come on, baby, don't say those things.

Guess what?

What?

I drew a picture of Krystal and I gave to her today

just like daddy used to do to you.

You did?

Awh, that was so sweet of you.

Now, when am I gonna get a chance

to meet my future daughter-in-law.

Mama, you're going to meet her real soon, real soon.

Rutherford State has the number one ranked defense

in all of college football.

Their defensive line are all pro football prospects.

And the line backing core

is projected to go in the first round of the draft,

so we're going to have our hands full.

Gentlemen, for the first time in the university's history,

we are undefeated.

This school hasn't had a playoff run

since Lamont's dad was a freshman here.

That changes this year.

The only thing standing between us and that title

is Rutherford State, but if we can get past Rutherford State

we can win the title.

We will win the title.

I wasn't sure when I was going tell you men this.

I been keeping something from you.

There's another reason why

this title run is so important to me.

Last week, I was diagnosed with colon cancer.

But you know me, I will not let this diagnosis defeat me.

No, sir, I refuse to.

Me fighting this is like you fighting Rutherford State.

Defeat is not an option.

Coaches, players, all you'll,

it would mean the world to me and my family

if you would keep us in your prayers.

Not only are we going do this for ourselves,

we go do this for coach.

We go win that title this year.

You see, it ain't just about getting to the playoffs

and being happy and content

that you made it to the playoffs.

Come on.

It's about getting to the playoffs,

going deep into the playoffs as possible

and winning that title game championship trophy.

You with me?

Yes, sir.

- You with me? - Yeah.

We go win that title this year.

Oh, yeah.

We're going to win the title.

We're going to win the title.

We're going to win the title.

We're going to win the title.

I just want to tell y'all, how proud I am

to stand up here in front of you.

You gave it all you had on the field today.

I can't ask for any more than that.

We knew going into this game, that Rutherford State

had the number one ranked defense in the nation,

and they were going be our toughest opponent.

And yes, we had a couple of calls that didn't go our way.

But that's football.

Football can be brutal.

Football can be glorious.

I'm just, I'm just so proud of each and every one of you.

You sure?

Gentlemen, I have some great news.

It looks like we are back in the championship game.

Nah, man, we just got back into town about an hour ago.

Hey, you saw the game, right?

That was pass interference, dawg, all day long,

and the official didn't even call it.

That was six points right there.

Dmitri had a step on him.

We could have won the game, man.

And on top of that, Lamont got hurt, but you know what?

Yeah, we going to the championship anyway.

Yeah, that quarterback was ineligible.

He was under investigation.

They found out he was taking money and gifts from his agent.

You see?

Now, do you see?

Do you see what I'm talking about?

That's what happens when you do wrong.

See, Rutherford was the first team

that Southpoint played this season,

and Southpoint blew 'em out the water.

Yeah, uhm..hm.

That's all.

They just wanted a rematch between Southpoint

and Rutherford in the championship game, that's all.

Even a blind man can see that.

Dawg, you tripping.

For real, you tripping.

Man, let me let you go.

I gotta call my mama

and let her know we going to the championship, dawg.

Holla.

Bo, mama dead.

Mama dead?

How that happen?

She got hit by a drunk driver.

I don't know what to do, she's gone.

My Mama dead.

My mama dead.

Hey, bro, you all right?

Hey, man, what happened?

What's wrong?

Hey, man, what's going on?

My mama dead..

Krystal, Krystal, what you doing?

Bo?

- Who was that, Krystal? - What are you doing here?

Man, you supposed to be studying?

Why did you lie to me, Krystal?

It's not what you think.

Man, my mama just got killed.

I'm over here looking for you and my mama just got killed man.

Bo, I'm sorry.

What are you doing to me?

What did I do, huh?

Tell me, what did I do?

How could you do this to us?

I'm so sorry.

My mama just got killed.

Don't you touch me.

Get off me.

Get off me.

Get off me.

It's over.

Bo.

Bo.

I'm sorry.

Bo, I'm sorry.

Bo.

Is he gonna be ready for the title game?

Red 22.

- Yeah, he'll be ready. - Red 22.

Set-hut

Come on, pick it up run

Bo, I know you're going through a bad time right now,

but we need you, man.

We need you to be ready if Lamont

goes down in the title game.

He's not 100%.

He hurts.

You all we got.

Can you get focused?

Do it for me, man.

Do it for the team, okay?

Keep giving him reps.

Four years ago, Coach Simon called me on the phone,

And he told me if I knew what was good for me,

I would come down to Texas

and I would check out a freshman running back

named Bo James Christian.

Now, I have a lot of respect for Coach Simon,

so Coach Booker and I, we jumped on an airplane

and we flew down to Texas and we attended one of your games.

What we was saw,

Was nothing short of spectucular.

It was amazing.

We saw something truly special.

What we did not see was a quitter.

Now, Bo,

I know, that this week has been incredibly difficult for you.

I know what it's like,

to lose your mama.

But I also know that you're going get through this.

We are both fighters, Bo.

We do not quit.

You are a man of faith and conviction.

Your mama instilled that in you.

Bless her heart.

I don't believe,

I do not believe

that God will give you all of that talent, son,

for you to turn around, give up,

and quit.

Bo..

I may not be there when you get there

But when you get there,

You remember,

Coach Jones told you so.

Under one minute to go in the half.

The Raiders can tie this game with a touchdown

and a field throw on this final drive.

And he's up to 30.

Pro prospect wide out, Carey Drake

The number 88 at the top of your screen.

Shotgun, Alonzo Scott.

Hut.

Ball is snapped, Scott looking down field

for a receiver.

Airs it out.

And it's caught by Carey Drake.

The 30, 20, the 10..

Touchdown Southpoint Raiders.

And the Raiders can tie this ballgame

with a field goal before the half.

Holy moly.

Glen, so far this game has lived up to the hype.

Starting deep in their own territory,

the Raiders were able to march 70 yards down the field

in under two minutes to come back and tie the game.

Now, I definitely believe that the two teams

are still feeling each other out with regards to scoring

but we can definitely look for more fireworks

in the second half.

I agree, Andre.

Both of these teams just steamrolled each of their opponents

in the regular season by margins of 30,

40 and sometimes even 50 points.

So, stay tuned, folks.

We got a lot of championship college football action

coming at you in the second half.

Our name is on this championship trophy.

Yeah, yeah.

This is what we fought and worked hard for

all last summer.

This is a fight and we came to win.

Yeah.

- We got two more quarters. - Yeah.

- Two more quarters. - Yeah.

- Fired up. - Yeah.

Bring it in, bring it in.

I look in your eyes,

and I see the winning spirit.

I know that because I've seen it on the field.

All of you are winners.

All of you are champions.

Now all of that comes with a warning.

Do not let this game be your finest hour.

Do not allow this game to define who you are as a man.

When you walk down that aisle

and you receive your college diploma,

let that be your finest hour.

When you go out into the real world

and you get married and you start a family

and become a leader in your community,

let that be what defines you as a man.

Now let's go out there

and kick some Raider butt.

Yeah.

Hello again, I'm Glen Patterson.

And welcome back to the first annual Legacy Bowl

here in beautiful Katy Hills, Georgia,

where it's the number one great defending champions,

the Southpoint Raiders of California

versus the number two ranked, the Bulldogs of Kentucky

out of Highland State.

Now, both teams come in undefeated

but only one will leave here today victorious.

And alongside me, the man who holds the record

for most TD receptions in a single season, Andre Axel,

an alumnus of Highland State.

And for those of you who just tuned in,

it was a superb and balanced first half in terms of stats.

Southpoint rallying late to tie the game at 21 all.

Statistically it's been a balanced game.

Highland State more that grind it out

in your face type of offense.

And on the other hand, you have Southpoint,

a team that likes to spread the field and air the ball out

to their deep threat wide out Carey Drake.

Now, Alonzo Scott has already passed

for 200 yards in the first half and rushed for 60.

For the Bulldogs of Highland State,

Lamont King has rushed for 99 yards on a rolled ankle

that he suffered two weeks ago

in the semi-finals against Rutherford.

Andre, there are so many stories and story lines

that make this title game so amazing.

Raymond Bell, that 5 foot 8 quarterback for the Bulldogs.

A walk on in his 6th year.

They call him the old man.

And has led this 1 team to the title game.

Yeah, a lot of teams passed up on Raymond Bell

because of his height.

But Raymond Bell is an example of what hard work,

perseverance, and believing one self can do.

And he does not have any plans on going to the pros,

instead he plans on joining the military

and serving his country when he graduates.

Fine young man this Raymond Bell is.

And let us now forget the most explosive freshman

running back in college football today, Bo James Christian,

who just recently tragically lost his mother

in a car accident and could not make the trip.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Christian family.

What a tough situation for this young man

to be going through.

I'm sure his team mates are all playing

with heavy hearts today.

Indeed.

Now let's check in with our sideline reporter,

Carmen Latrell.

Coach Dale Smith, thank you for taking the time out

to join us right now.

You come into this season ranked number one

with a 12 and 0 record, but we all want to know

what are you going to do to stop

the number one running back Lamont King?

Well, Lamont King is the biggest threat

on their offense for sure

He's a very strong runner, he's a smart runner,

and he's a veteran -

Now, my defense is going to have to step up

and really play hard up front to stop him.

Now, our linebackers and our defense is not

and allows him to run wild out there,

we're going to be in for a real long night.

I got news for you.

Well, thank you, coach.

Back to you guys in the booth.

Thank you, Carmen.

As we are nearing the beginning of the third quarter,

we have number 17, Jordan Thomas,

punt returner as well as slot receiver

set to receive the kickoff for the Bulldogs.

It's a low line drive kick.

But Oh, Jordan Thomas bobbles the kickoff.

Hey, oh, he regains control.

He turns on the jets.

He's at the 40, he's at the 50.

Oh, look at him go.

Only one man to beat.

He's going to do it.

Touchdown.

Jordan Thomas and the Bulldogs of Highland State

strike first.

Holy moly.

At the 45, Alonzo Scott out of the shotgun,

Shady Rhome's alone set back,

Carey Drake wide left top of your screen.

Ball is snapped.

Alonzo Scott looking for a receiver.

He finds Carey Drake.

Caught at the 31 yard line.

That's 10 yards good for the first down.

First and goal for the Southpoint Raiders.

Alonzo Scott under center.

Carey Drake wide left, top of your screen.

Alonzo Scott reading the defense.

Ball is snapped.

Hands off to Shady Rhome.

And Rhome bulldozes his way into the end zone.

Touchdown Southpoint.

And the game is tied again at 28 a piece.

Bulldogs at the 45.

Raymond Bell rolls out to his right.

Looks down field.

Caught out of bounds by number 16,

D'ettric Murnchinson at the 35.

3rd quarter winding down.

Bulldogs looking to extend their lead.

Ten-hut.

Hand off to Lamont King.

Sheds one tackler.

And he's off to the races.

The 30, the 20, the 10, touchdown.

Lamont King and the Bulldogs go up by six.

Raymond Bell pitches the ball left to Lamont King.

Hit hard out of bounds.

He looks to be grabbing his ankle.

Oh boy.

Oh, he may have re aggravated

or re injured that rolled ankle.

Let's hope that's not the case.

Injury time out.

We'll be right back.

We are back.

3rd and long, Bulldogs at their own 25.

Raymond Bell's shotgun.

Set-hut.

High snap.

Oh, the ball sails over the head to Raymond Bell.

Bell is chasing the ball down.

Oh, Bell hesitates to fall on the ball.

It's recovered by number 85, Andrade.

Raider's ball.

I think that was a costly mistake

for Raymond Bell not to fall on the football.

I understand that as a quarterback,

you want to avoid getting injured,

but this is a title game.

You've got to make sacrifices

to give your team the chance to win.

I agree.

Southpoint is too good and too experienced,

and will capitalize and make you pay for mistakes.

Tough break for the Bulldogs of Kentucky.

The Bulldogs' injury report brought to you

by the Man of Principle summer youth program

in Houston, Texas, teaching young men how to be men.

And there we have a beautiful shot

from the Goodyear Blip soaring overhead.

And as it stands, running back Lamont King

out for the rest of the game with a fractured ankle.

Punt returner and slot receiver Jordan Thomas

out with a strained calf.

He will not return.

And strong safety Billy Hammer has pulled a hamstring.

He will not return.

So far the sophomore running back Byron McGee

has replaced Lamont King and has only managed six yards

on nine carries.

That just won't get it done against Southpoint,

as the Bulldogs find themselves down by 28 points

with 13 minutes left in the game.

As for Southpoint, no injuries to report.

At this point, the Bulldogs need to remain poised

and not lose focus.

I know Coach Papa Jones and his staff

have prepared the team mentally for this situation.

The Bulldogs are going to have to figure out a way

to create some offense without the help of Lamont King.

The Raiders are too good right now.

Their offense is kicking on all cylinders.

Clarence McKinney, the Bulldog's defensive coordinator

better come up with some answers quick

to stop this offensive attack by Southpoint.

No matter the outcome of this game,

I give my hat off to Coach Papa Jones and his staff

for putting together such a great football team.

A Division 1team going undefeated

and making it to the title game is just unimaginable.

It appears the Bulldogs are going to need an act of God

to win this game today.

What a minute, is that thunder?

We expecting rain?

Wait, there, there looks to be a Bulldog player

running towards the Bulldogs side line.

- It's Bo James. - Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo.

He's here.

Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo,

Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo.

Put me in the game coach.

Good to see you, son.

Are you ready?

I'm ready, coach.

Let's do this.

Ladies and gentlemen,

freshman running back sensation Bo James Christian

has come into this game, put his team on his shoulders

and has pulled the Bulldogs of Kentucky

within one point of the Raiders.

Folks, a field goal will tie the game

and a two point conversion will win the game

for the Kentucky Bulldogs.

What do you want to run, Bo?

Thunder Rush.

There're going for two, there're going for two.

There're going for two.

The Bulldogs of Kentucky are going for the win

with less than five seconds left in the game.

Can this 1college..

Touchdown.

The Bulldogs have done it.

Bo James Christian, and the Bulldogs have done the impossible.

And knocked down last year's defending champions,

the Southpoint Raiders.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new

college football champion.

Holy moly, a nail biter.

Right down to the last second.

Final score, Bulldogs 57, Raiders 56.

It's the little engine that who could.

When the odds are against you,

you just got to keep on fighting and keep digging.

Man, this is just awesome.

Awesome.
