Friday Game Night

Fannin County sat 4-3 heading into the final month of the season in 2015 needing just one win to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2010. Instead, a double overtime loss to West Hall started them on a three-game losing streak to close out the season to watch a promising season fizzle out...

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...

The Wolves have played in nine straight state championship games, and while last year proved a disappointment -- Buford fell in the title contest for just the second time in that incredible run -- they learned plenty of lessons that should prove invaluable in the Wolves' attempt to make a 10th straight Georgia Dome contest.

Banks County will have its fourth head coach in seven years. But despite the latest change, new head man Josh Shoemaker is no stranger to the Leopards, having been on staff the past three seasons. They are hoping that will make any transitions much smoother with the Leopards coming off back-to-back 5-5 seasons...

We spent the last few days catching up with programs around our area to get a feel for how spring practice went, how the summer is going and what coaches believe the fall will look like. We call the series "Two-a-Days" in honor of the grinding sessions that lead us out of summer and into fall. And for the next two weeks, AccessWDUN will get you prepped -- twice a day -- for the start of gridiron action...
