Kickoff 2023, Jacobs Media's annual full-color magazine dedicated exclusively to high school football in North Georgia, is now available, the company announced today.
The 2023 edition is 132 pages and includes previews of 26 North Georgia teams, player profiles, photos, the season's top games, the best rivalries, schedules and more. The magazine includes two in-depth feature stories, one looking at recruiting at the middle school level and the introduction of replay in championship games at Mercedes-Benz stadium.
Kickoff 2023 is available at a number of 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.
Kickoff 2023 was developed, written, edited and designed entirely by the AccessWDUN sports staff. More than 60 local businesses purchased advertising in the publication, and those advertisers will help distribute the magazine.
The magazine features in-depth previews of 13 teams – Buford, Cherokee Bluff, Chestatee, East Hall, Flowery Branch, Gainesville, Jefferson, Johnson, Lakeview, Lanier Christian, North Hall, Riverside and West Hall. It also features Banks County, Commerce, Dawson County, East Forsyth, East Jackson, Habersham Central, Jackson County, Lumpkin County, North Forsyth, Rabun County, Towns County, Union County and White County.
The Kickoff 2023 magazine is just one part of Jacobs Media’s coverage plans for the upcoming football season. The Kickoff 2023 online preview, which features different content than the magazine, goes live later this month.
The 2023 season is set to kick off on August 18. The Friday Game Night tradition of carrying three games on three radio stations will continue this season. The season starts with St. Frances Academy at Buford on WDUN AM 550; White County at North Hall on WDUN FM 102.9; and Marist at Gainesville on The Lake FM 94.5.
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 with Walter McCrary 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.
