Spring Football (capitalization intentional) is one of the four seasons here in the state- the second one that I use... Football, Spring Football, 'cruitin', and National Signing Day... And it can come at you in a couple of different ways... it can come in front of a big crowd, on an atypical day of the week, or in front of an audience of a few. 

GPB Sports' Jon Nelson and Hannah Goodin sit down for a wide-ranging conversation with Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Executive Director, Dr. Robin Hines, on this week's Football Fridays in Georgia podcast. They talked about COVID, realignment, and the Flag Football Championships. They also talk about some of the surprising games from week 2 of the football regular season. 

Jon Nelson went to Cambridge High School to check in on football practice and protocols.
