Today, we shift our focus to Northwest Georgia and have a special guest, as Mr. Lawrence Morgan, the founder and curator of NWGAFootball.us joins us to talk high school football. Lawrence has helped to spotlight some of the football talent in Northwest Georgia. He started what he thought would be a small hobby, which has now grown to include a website nwgafootball.us and a very active social media presence (Twitter: @NWGAFootball). We talk about a couple of the best players he's seen as well as a few surprise players in the area. We also discuss best game atmospheres. Finally we take a peek look into teams out of the area that might make runs in the state tournament. Tune in as we talk football with Lawrence Morgan.

Yet this fall, head football Coach Chris Parker has the mountain community focused on the gridiron. Coach Parker and the Dragons have won their first eight games for the first time in school history. The Dragons have benefited from senior leadership this season.

This maybe the most anticipated game in the young rivalry between Creekview and Sequoyah. Both teams enter the game undefeated and ranked in the top 5 by most major publications in the state. Each team has their share of college prospects. Both teams are physical and fast. Today we check in with both of the head coaches, Adam Carter of Creekview and James Teter of Sequoyah. We talk about the things that have made their teams successful this season, we also talk about a senior leader that’s a difference maker for each team, and we talk about the atmosphere of each community and fans for both schools. And most importantly, we get some insight from each coach about their opponent on Friday night.
If that isn't enough, we also get to spend some time with the Cedarwood Tavern Crew, who host a Cherokee County pre and post game live video program. We discuss some of the surprising things they've seen on the county along with some of the top performers. Of course, we get their take on the big game on Friday night as well.

Coach Jamie Fox took over as Head Coach for Harris County this season. Fox has been the offensive coordinator for the past six seasons. While this is Coach Fox’s first season as the head coach at Harris County, he does have previous head coaching experience at Shaw. Coach Fox and the Tigers return some big names, including Cal’von Harris back in the backfield. Last season he was a First Team All-State selection and rushed for over 1,600 yards with 9 TDs. The Tigers have faced some stiff competition to date and have been hit by the injury bug, but are looking to get healthy during the bye week. Region play is still in front of the Tigers, so there is still much to play for this season. Tune in as we talk Tiger Football with Coach Fox.
