GHSF Daily asked Georgia head coaches to answer these four questions. We'll report from a different head coach each day.
Benji Harrison, Habersham Central
1. What is the most memorable game you've been a part of as a player or coach? "It would have to be while at Flowery Branch. In 2011, we completed a Hail Mary with no time left on the clock to defeat Johns Creek in the first round of the playoffs. [Flowery Branch won 41-38.] Johns Creek had handed it to us pretty good all night, and we were fortunate to get a lucky bounce at the end of the game to win."
2. Which high school coach would you want your son to play for, and why? "If I had a son, I would have loved for them to play for Coach Bill Napier. He is all about some football, but he is as good of a role model for kids to be around that I can think of." [Napier is the offensive coordinator at Dalton. He was Murray County's head coach from 1991 to 2006. He was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease in 2013.]
3. What is your pet peeve as a coach or favorite saying/motto? "My biggest pet peeve would be kids making a great play and then having to tell their opponents about it. Let the play speak for itself."
4. Which GHSA policy or high school football rule would you most like to see changed? "The biggest rule change that I would like to see would be revisiting the new contact rules. I'm not asking for there not to be a rule, just looking at exactly what constitutes a 'contact drill.'"
