Jacobs Media announced Monday that Kickoff 2021, the company's annual full-color magazine dedicated exclusively to high school football in North Georgia, is now available.
The 2021 edition is 116 pages and includes previews of 23 North Georgia teams, player profiles, photos, the season's top games, the best rivalries, schedules and more.
Kickoff 2021 is available at more than 50 locations, including the WDUN studios at 1102 Thompson Bridge Road. A full list of locations can be seen here.
The magazine is available for free.
The magazine was developed, written, edited and designed entirely by the AccessWDUN staff. More than 50 local businesses purchased advertising in the publication, and those advertisers will help distribute the magazine.
The magazine features previews of 11 Hall County teams – Buford, Cherokee Bluff, Chestatee, East Hall, Flowery Branch, Gainesville, Johnson, Lakeview, North Hall, Riverside and West Hall. It also features Banks County, Commerce, Dawson County, East Jackson, Habersham Central, Jackson County, Jefferson, Lumpkin County, Rabun County, Towns County, Union County and White County.
The Kickoff 2021 magazine is just one part of Jacobs Media’s coverage plans for the upcoming football season. The Kickoff 2021 online preview, which features different content than the magazine, also goes live.
The 2021 season is set to kick off on August 20. The Friday Game Night tradition of carrying three games on three radio stations will continue this season. On August 20, the season starts at 5:30 p.m. with Johns Creek at Gainesville in the Corky Kell Classic on The Lake FM 94.5. At 7:30 p.m., Flowery Branch at St. Pius X will air on WDUN AM 550 and Rabun County at Jefferson will air on WDUN FM 102.9.
The games can also be streamed via the stations’ website or streaming apps.
Caleb Hutchins will host the Friday Game Night Tailgate Show at 6 p.m. Fridays, and he will return for the Hardy Chevrolet Scoreboard Show following the games on Friday night.
And the Friday Game Night page on AccessWDUN will feature game previews, game stories and special features throughout each week of the season.
