After weeks and months of waiting it's finally here: real football.
The 2016 high school campaign kicks off in earnest this Friday night with numerous showdowns around the state and right here in northeast Georgia, and AccessWDUN and Friday Game Night are here to provide all the knowledge you need before heading out to the stadium.
Visit our Friday Game Night page and check out season previews for 30 area programs -- including video interviews with numerous northeast Georgia coaches, as well as the names, schedules and insight that will prep you for every kickoff, every showdown of a jam-packed campaign.
With so much new in store this season -- including new classifications, regions, coaches and, of course, players, we've covered every angle.
Check out the new region layout for northeast Georgia programs -- some of which are sure to take weeks of getting used to.
We've also got a look at the most highly-anticipated games of 2016, and the players that could make it all come together for their respective programs. And don't forget the new coaches that will be looking for success in a highly-competitive section of the state.
It's as unique a start to a season as we have had in some time -- and one that we are happy to get you fully ready for. We know you have waited long enough, and so have we. So let's get at it and get this season kicked off right.
