FootballFridayNight.com has been greatly expanded. Check out the news items, where Lincoln County is mentioned in several items. FFN has more links to high school football sites than anyone other than Google and Yahoo, and ours are better organized. We also find for you interesting videos, such as a certain free kick. Our school pages provide maps, weather, logos, mascots, helmets, and more. South Carolina schools have been added, so tell your friends in the Palmetto State to take a look.
PrepLogos.com will eventually feature logos and artwork from every state. Georgia and South Carolina are off to a good start.
David Hayes has worked with us to provide a separate site for his Georgia High School Helmet Project, which we've hosted on FFN for several years. The new site is better organized and also includes helmets from the past. If you're looking for helmet info for other states, take a look at the list of helmet websites on PrepLogos.com. We believe it's the most extensive available.

Four Red Devil opponents will have new head coaches for the 2009 gridiron campaign.
As many in Lincolnton already know, Washington-Wilkes did not renew Russell Morgan's contract as the head football man. Lee Hutto leaves Warren County has after 3 seasons to return to the Tigers, where he was an assistant from 1997 to 1999.
Marleau Blount, Warren County graduate and longtime assistant coach, was promoted from offensive coordinator to head coach for the Screaming Devils.
At Aquinas, Matt LeZotte has replaced Bill Tenore. LeZotte was the star quarterback on James Madison's I-AA national championship team in 2004 and has been at Aquinas since 2005. He played at Westside of Augusta.
Charlie Winslette is returning to Greene County as the Tigers head coach. Coach Winslette was an assistant at a Macon school last year after being the head coach at Gatewood for several years. He previously coached at what was then Greene-Taliaferro from 1989 to 1993. He has won 68% of his games over a 31-year career, including a state title at West Rome in 1985.
Georgia Military, a frequent Devil opponent in the past, also got a new head signal-caller with Brad Owns getting his first top job.
