There are just 23 days remaining until the kickoff of the 2021 high school football season. But make no mistake, preparations for the upcoming campaign got underway months ago. And teams throughout northeast Georgia already are in full countdown mode.
With that in mind we spent the last couple of weeks 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. Our "Two-a-Days" series honors those old-school grinding sessions that lead us out of summer and into fall, asking each area coach two key questions about the state of their respective programs.
Over the next two weeks, AccessWDUN's Friday Game Night will get you prepped for the start of gridiron action with responses from coaches throughout northeast Georgia. (Teams run in alphabetical order)...
RABUN COUNTY
The Wildcats were just one win from their second Class 2A championship game in four years. However, a rough loss to Callaway in the semifinals last year left them with a bad taste and the feeling of unfinished business.
They return national recruit and Georgia-commit Gunnar Stockton under center as well as a plethora of high-profile weapons at his disposal. They have a big senior class that wants the program's first state title.
We caught up with coach Jaybo Shaw to discuss whether it's "Championship or Bust" in 2021 and just what they will need to cross that last program hurdle.
