Pearl-Cohn hasn't won a state title since earning back-to-back Class 4A crowns in 1996 and 1997.

    FRA coach Justin Geisinger on program building + Round 3 preview

    Franklin Road Academy football coach Justin Geisinger likes to talk about the process rather than the results. Geisinger insists that he and his staff don't dwell on the outcomes of games, instead focusing on program-building. That formula seems to be working for the Panthers (11-1), who face CPA (11-1) in Friday's Division II-AA state semifinals. Show host Russell Vannozzi caught up with Geisinger to talk about FRA's quick rise. Vannozzi closes the episode by reviewing storylines and making picks for the third round of the TSSAA playoffs.

Ahead of that game, Page coach Charles Rathbone joined the show to discuss how his program's expectations have been elevated by back-to-back Class 5A runner-up finishes and what this year's team must do to get back to Chattanooga.

    East Nashville coach Damien Harris on his first season + Round 1 preview

    Under first-year head coach Damien Harris, East Nashville football has picked up right where it left off.

    Nashville Christian coach Jeff Brothers on progress of young team + Week 8 preview

    Nashville Christian football coach Jeff Brothers knew his 2023 team would require some patience.

After opening the season with three consecutive losses, Nashville Christian (3-3) has won three straight to enter Friday's game against Columbia Academy (4-3) with a .500 record. Hear from Brothers on this week's show, along with Week 8 storylines and score predictions from host Russell Vannozzi.
