GHSF Daily asked Georgia head coaches to answer these four questions. We'll report from a different head coach each day.
Rico Zackery, Central-Carrollton
1. What is the most memorable game you've been a part of as a player or coach? "The 2014 Central vs. Callaway game. This was for the region championship. We tied the game, and with under a minute left, Callaway drove the ball down into field goal range. With six seconds left, we blocked the kick and returned it for a touchdown to win the game. It was our first region championship since 1986." [Central won 40-34.]
2. Which high school coach would you want your son to play for, and why? "Robert Herring. Coach Herring was a great man. He taught us values that we could use in life. We loved him as players, and I respect him greatly." [Herring was Zackery's coach at Newnan.]
3. What is your pet peeve as a coach or favorite saying/motto? "I do not like standing, sitting or walking in the weight room or at practice. I like movement, energy, and urgency!"
4. Which GHSA policy or high school football rule would you most like to see changed? "I think they are doing a great job governing high school football. If we could revise the contact rules, a little, it would be great."
