Lincoln County Featured in New Football Book!
March 25, 2008 -- click here to print
Lincoln County, its football program, its townfolk, and its legendary coach are featured in the new book "Backroads and Backfields" by GPB's Jon Nelson.
You may have seen Jon, often with a small camcorder, at many of our games during the past several years. Jon hosts Georgia Public Broadcasting's award-winning PrepSportsPlus show. He's been working on what became a 434-page book for several years, conducting many interviews during our Devils' unforgettable 2005 Championship Season.
Here's the note Jon sent us as his book became available:
After too many years of writing, hemming, and hawing, the book I've written on high school football is finally completed and released. It's a lot thicker than I thought it would be...
The folks at Trafford Publications have been very patient with a perfectionist, and it's out there for the world to see ((and, hopefully, purchase))
Thanks to all of you in Lincoln County for all of your encouragement all of this time,
Just thought I should let you know,
Jon
PS- Oh, if any one of you would be interested in picking it up, here's where you go...

Enjoy...
And we'll see you soon...
Each chapter focuses on a Georgia community, including much-heralded "football" communities like LaGrange, Dalton, Gainesville, Washington County, Hawkinsville, and Clinch County. Over 30 pages are used to tell Lincoln County's story, and it's told very well.

Jarius Wynn Looking to Start for Dawgs

From Athens Banner-Herald -- "Wynn has an abnormal balance of explosion, power and quickness," junior cornerback Asher Allen said.
Jarius Wynn may not lead the SEC in sacks like Marcus Howard did, but the senior is among several candidates looking to replace Howard in Georgia's starting lineup and duplicate his productivity.
Wynn was moved to defensive tackle before returning to end last season.
He made nine tackles and couldn't have picked a better quarterback - Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow - to record his lone sack.
