COACHES' COMMENTS: Spring Hill's Kelly Mercer unavailable for comment.

Pleasant Grove's Josh Gibson-"Spring Hill played Gilmer extremely well in the first half last week. The score was 14-7 in favor of Gilmer at halftime. For them to stay in the game like they did, it shows you how much they've grown. I think they are better than they were last year. It shows more on the defensive side of the ball. Their kids are playing harder. I think Coach Mercer has done a great job of building them up and taking a step. Spring Hill runs a similar offense to Atlanta and Pittsburg. They'll have two or three wide with an H-back. They're about 65 percent run and 35 pass. It's something we have seen, so we'll be ready to play.

"For us, it's a huge game because we are trying to secure a playoff berth and it's senior night. We want to send the seniors out on the highest note that we can in their last game at Hawk Stadium. It's a really, really big night."
