Jon and Hannah preview the race to the Benz on this week’s podcast as the playoffs gets underway. They talk with the coaches from Murray County, making their first appearance in two decades, region champs Ware County, and title contender Walton. All three coaches have three different takes on the new power ranking system.

Hannah Goodin and Jon Nelson catch up with Lowndes Head Coach Adam Carter on this week's Football Fridays in Georgia podcast. His undefeated and fourth ranked Vikings will travel to Richmond Hill for key Class 7A Region 1 game this week. He sings the praises of his “blue collar defense” and preaches the power of social media to get his players the recognition they need to get a shot at playing on the next level.

And Milton Head Coach Ben Reaves, Jr. shares his feelings on the new GHSA playoff ratings system (hint: he’s not a fan). He also talks about their big rivalry matchup with Roswell this week that has the Class 6A Region 7 title on the line for his Eagles. The game is our Football Fridays game of the week. You can watch it here.

With only three weeks away from the GHSA Football playoffs, Hannah Goodin and Jon Nelson talk to two very successful coaches with very different coaching styles but both are playoff bound.

Cartersville’s Head Coach Conor Foster uses a mentoring system that allows his coaches the freedom to suggest new ideas that has resulted in the Purple Hurricanes being undefeated with a high powered offense and a lockdown defense with five shoutouts. Coach Foster also talks about the team’s huge push toward community involvement throughout the whole year. The team faces Dalton in our Football Friday in Georgia game of the week this week.

Jon and Hannah’s second guest is Dublin Head Coach Roger Holmes who talks about his classic “Wing T” offense that is a major part of his team's success. His offense is so good that he holds coaching clinics for coaches across the country to study the specialized offense.

Top ten coaches and their teams are in the spotlight on this week’s podcast. Also add a little family competition between coaches and family togetherness between coaches and their sons as Hannah Goodin and Jon Nelson talk about what is going on both on and off the field.

Dougherty Head Football Coach Uyl Joiner talks about the teams thrilling win over previously unbeaten Cairo, led by his son the quarterback, as well as what happens next week when he coaches against his brother the head coach at Westover. And first-year Westlake head coach Kevin Whitley talks about coaching his son but just not at the dinner table, as his team prepares for a top 10 matchup against Carrollton in our Football Fridays in Georgia game of the week.

Plus, we highlight more big performances from around the state and celebrate GPB’s 30th season of high school football coverage with a special message from former Marist quarterback and Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay.

Roswell’s Jonathan Thompson previews Gainesville’s visit, Jackson County’s Korey Mobbs reflects on his team’s unbeaten start, and Coffee’s Mike Coe prepares for Lee County.
