GHSF Daily asked Georgia head coaches to answer these four questions. We'll report from a different head coach each day.
Scott Jones, North Paulding
1. What is the most memorable game you've been a part of as a player or coach?"I would have to say the most memorable game I have been a part of would be the 2013 second-round win against Stephenson. We were definitely not the favorite to win the contest, but our team chemistry was special." [North Paulding won 35-7 and advanced to the quarterfinals for the only time in its history.]
2. Which high school coach would you want your son to play for, and why?"There are many coaches that I would love to have my son play for, but I would have to put Dexter Wood at the top of the list." [Wood, the athletics director for Buford City Schools, was head coach at Marietta and Buford.]
3. What is your favorite saying/motto?"Anyone who has been around me knows that I am constantly reminding players and coaches to 'Be Positive.' I don't know of too many teams that do not include a 'Positive Attitude' in their teams' core values."
4. Which GHSA policy or high school football rule would you most like to see changed?"I know I am barking up the same tree, but something has to be done about the transfer rule. High school football is headed in the wrong direction!"
