It has been a great few months of football, tennis ,signing ceremonies ,road races, and practically everything else pertaining to sports. In this blog I will talk about the favorite interviews of the high school football season and then about some of the other things I have covered lately.
So I bring to you, the top 10(or more or less) coaches interviews for the 2015 high school football season
** Barney Hester** He would win the coach that I never wanted to pick against because I always thought he would find a way to win. I know how bad he wanted the Huskies to make the playoffs this year because of his seniors, who has helped turn the program around. He fell a little short but it was still a great season. I interviewed him right before the West Laurens game when they had just won their fourth game in a row. By this time of the year he was in that Tattnall mode where he expected to win every game. It didn't quite work out that way and it probably would have been different if he had not lost his best running back, but it was still a great year.
**Greg Moore** He would definitely win the award for thinking out his answers before he responds to a question. I interviewed him maybe four times this season, twice in his office and twice on the field, and he did admit after the Stratford game that his kids needed to find a groove, but he usually talks about the fact that he, as a coach , has to do a better job of coaching his kids. He an old Alabama guy, but he acts more Mark Richt than Nick Saban and that's a good thing.
**Mark Farriba** He is one of my favorites (now) As soon as we got that first interview out of the way (of course a reporter would ask why did you go for two when one would have tied it)and sat down and had some chilli, things have been great. I still want to beat him on the tennis court, but I have heard rumors that he is still pretty much the athlete. I have definitely heard I do not want him on the golf course or the dance floor because he is an award winning dancer, and George Collins (his college roommate) says he has a lot of game.
**Carl Dixon** I love this guy, who is the head coach at Perry. I talked to him for about 45 minutes before the Veterans and Upson game and if you want old school football, he is definitely the guy. He talked about the fact that he would have to make changes next year and not be quite so old school because the kids wanted to play what they see on tv. The man never said that he was having cancer surgery on the next Monday. I wish him a quick recovery. We have recovered from our little run in during the football season and that is how it is supposed to be.
**Justin Rogers** The hottest coach in Middle Georgia. I mean everyone was pretty sure that he was going to go on the road and figure out how to win a first round playoff game, like they did last year, but they couldn't get it done this year. This guy has turned the entire town of gray around by coming in and winning football games. Believe me, there is no place like Gray Georgia on a Friday night for a home football game, and a lot of that is because of Justin Rogers.
**David Bruce** I listened to Coach Bruce tell his seniors that it was a great year and he appreciated what they had done after they lost to Upson Lee in double overtime. Then an assistant walks up and shows him a score on a phone, and Bruce was like "What the heck does that mean, I don't know what that means". The other coach said that since Howard lost that veterans had made the playoffs. Coach Bruce did not know what to think. He hated the fact that his team backed into the playoffs, but was still excited that they were in. It was probably one of the best moments of the year.
**Joe Dupree** I love his enthusiasm and I still think Southwest is not that far away from being a good football team, and I know Coach Dupree wants it now, but he knows he is having to build over years of poor football .He is having to change the entire mentality of a program.I cant text this guy and he is going to respond quickly which is always great for a reporter. Next year coach, next year.
**Spoon Risper** He wins, and he is a great interview. The best moments of a football season are listening to him in a huddle with his team after a win, and hearing him say. There is not better place to be than being a Westside Seminole on Friday night. He is another that always answers right back and basically insisted that his name was Spoon and not Shedrick. The man may be the best football coach in the city and I wish him luck this Friday night.
**Jesse Hicks**Consistently passionate about his kids and always accommodating to me. I had his team several times this year and he is one of the funner coaches to watch on the sidelines. He should be proud of what he has done with the central program in four years.
If I didn't mention your coach I probably didn't cover them this year. My next blog will be about all the wonderful athletes I have covered this year.
Have a good Tuesday everyone
