Last year, central Georgia saw plenty of playoff success, including Macon County winning the Class A-Public state championship, John Milledge Academy winning the GISA AAA state championship, along with Tattnall Square Academy, Northside, Mary Persons and Peach County making it to the semifinals in their respective classifications.
Since that time, winter, spring and summer have come and gone and we here at 13WMAZ are ready for another exciting season of high school football here in central Georgia.
For week 1, we will start the evening live at McConnell-Talbert Stadium in Warner Robins for #Tailgate13, which airs on Eyewitness News at 5 and 6 p.m. right here on 13WMAZ.
At 7:30 p.m., The Warner Robins Demons and the Northside Eagles will face off for their annual cross-town rivalry game.
Once #Tailgate13 ends, our Football Friday Night team will hit the roads to check out some fantastic high school football action! Here's where you will be able to find our reporters:
