Friday Game Night

New East Jackson coach Christian Hunnicutt did not seemed fazed by the task facing him as he takes over the reigns of the Eagles in his first-ever head coaching job. He was fully aware of the struggles the Eagles have faced with just three total victories over the past four seasons...

After three straight seasons of being nearly-men (East Hall went 5-5 2011-13), the Vikings seem to have grasped just what it takes to be a consistent winner and playoff team, reaching the postseason in back-to-back campaigns. Now coach Bryan Gray wants his program to continue its ascent...

What coach Sid Maxwell helped spark last season in Dawsonville was nothing short of historic. The Tigers won a region title, set a program record for wins and clinched their first ever state quarterfinal berth. Now Dawson County hopes to show that was no one-year trick...

In 2015, Commerce was just one play from playing for its first state title since winning it all in 2000 but fell to Clinch County in the Class A Public semifinals. Coach Michael Brown and the Tigers will have a slightly tougher task in 2016...

We call the series "Two-a-Days" in honor of the grinding sessions that lead us out of summer and into fall.
