There are just 25 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)...
LANIER CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
The Lightning had a rough 2020 campaign, which resulted in an eventual coaching change. But the quickly-growing private school tapped the semi-retired Bruce Miller, who led Gainesville to a state title with Deshaun Watson, to take over the program.
They still plan to play in the GAPPS 8-man league one more season before considering a possible move up.
We caught up with coach Miller to discuss his program-rebuild plans and the future of the program moving forward.
