GHSF Daily asked Georgia head coaches to answer these four questions. We'll report from a different head coach each day.
Jason Tone, Worth County
1. What is the most memorable game you've been a part of as a player or coach? "The most memorable game that I was a part of was the 1999 Northside [of Warner Robins] vs. Lowndes semifinal game. I was fortunate enough to be a part of one of the greatest second-half comebacks in the state of Georgia. We trailed Northside 28-3 at halftime and found a way to come back 31-28. It was a battle between two really good teams, and the atmosphere in the Georgia Dome was electric."
2. Which high school coach would you want your son to play for, and why? "I would love for my son to play for Milt Miller. I learned many lessons from him growing up. He was very tough on us, but at the same time we knew that he cared about us."
3. What is your pet peeve as a coach? "My pet peeve is wasting practice time. I have a hard time just allowing players to stand around or walk around during transition time. As coaches we are all in a race against time, and I want to make every minute count."
4. Which GHSA policy or high school football rule would you most like to see changed? "As many coaches have mentioned before, I would like to see something done about the reclassification process. I by no means have the right answer or all the answers, but I know that it can be better than it is at this moment. I have read a lot of the different ideas and it looks like we are trying to move in the right direction."
