There are just 27 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)...

The Panthers have continually improved over the last two seasons under head coach Rich McWhorter, now in his third season. This year, the Panthers enter summer and preseason preparation looking to plug up several key spots on defense, mainly linebacker and secondary.
We caught up with McWhorter to discuss how the new guys on defense are coming along, how the build process is going and the expectations for the 2021 campaign.
