There are just 29 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)...
GAINESVILLE
The Red Elephants were just a few plays from winning Region 6-7A in 2020. They return a host of experience across the board. But they will be turning over the reigns of the offense to new coordinator Chad Bennett and sophomore quarterback Baxter Wright.
We caught up with fourth-year coach Heath Webb to talk about the offensive changes and to see who has stepped up as they also try and fill some key holes at linebacker.
