Special Guest Dip Metress, Head Coach of the #8 ranked Augusta University Jaguars

Metress describes his 25-plus year head coaching career, the play so far this season from his undefeated Jaguars and what he expects as Peach Belt Conference play approaches. Metress also gives running feedback about a 10-minute highlight reel from Augusta’s recent 83-56 win over Coastal Georgia on Prostate Cancer Awareness Day.

After our conversation with Dip, we continue the show by reviewing some recent high school game results involving ranked teams like Grovetown, Thomson, North Augusta and Cross Creek. We also preview some upcoming games like the region showdown Friday between #3 Westside and #4 Butler, a possible SCISA state championship game preview Saturday involving Augusta Christian, and a bitter rivalry game between Thomson and Warren County, also Saturday.

Finally we conclude with a focus on some recent standout individual performers:

Miguel Arnold - Junior, Augusta University

Rico Gonzalez - Senior, Lakeside High

Derrion Reid - Junior, Grovetown High

Cam Parada - Sophomore, Aquinas High

Our special Guest is Derek Favors, who is in charge of Media & PR for the 100 Black Men of Augusta.

The show will cover the past week's high school football, high school basketball, and college basketball action, the 100 Black Men of Augusta and its recent Tournament at Augusta University, and the upcoming action this week.

Georgia High School Association basketball expert Kyle Sandy joined Chad for episode 3 of the Augusta Sports Report. After some programming notes about what you can find from @AugBball and the Augusta Sports Report, and a rundown of the notable games during the early part of the season, we listen to Kyle’s story about how he built Sandysspiel.com as the paper of record for high school basketball in Georgia. And we talk about how the Augusta area’s best boys and girls teams fit into the overall statewide race.

We taped this Tuesday morning, and since the recording, Cross Creek throttled River Bluff 80-53 at River Bluff; Grovetown topped Butler 67-64 in overtime at Butler. And Augusta Christian defended its home floor with a 68-52 win over Jones County.

Enjoy the show!
