High school football is FINALLY here!
The much awaited and highly anticipated 2020 campaigns for the Washington County Golden Hawks and the Brentwood Eagles are set to start this Friday on September 11th.
Both squads will begin their journeys on the road. Washington County will face off with the Burke County Bears in Waynesboro, while Brentwood travels to Milledgeville for an annual competition with rival John Milledge. Each game is scheduled for a 7:30 P.M. start time.
Radio station WACO 100 is the longtime “Home of the Hawks,” and is excited to once again carry the coverage of each and every exciting play of the upcoming season. All games are to be broadcast over 99.9 FM and waco100fm.com.
WACO 100’s sister station Family 1490 is the brand new “Home of the Eagles.” The thrilling season to follow of Brentwood football is now brought to you on 1490 AM and waco100fm.com.
Taylor Everett returns to the broadcast booth for a second consecutive year and will now be joined by former Golden Hawk and Mercer University standout Will Coneway. Pregame coverage begins on Friday nights at 7:00 P.M.
Jerry Knight and Jason Lindsey will team together as the new crew for Brentwood football. Pregame coverage of the War Eagles begins each Friday at 7:00 P.M., as well.
Radio stations WACO 100 and Family 1490 are also eager to introduce an exhilarating and advanced avenue to enjoy local football in 2020.

The Washington County Golden Hawks are led into action this season by Head Coach Joel Ingram, who is serving at the helm of the hawks for a 15th consecutive year, passing Rick Tomberlin as the longest tenured head coach in Golden Hawks history.
WACO finished the 2019 season with back-to-back games versus the two teams that competed in the GHSA AA State Championship Game. The Golden Hawks upset the eventual state champion Dublin Fighting Irish in their regular season finale before falling to the eventual state runner-up Brooks County Trojans in state playoff competition.
The Brentwood War Eagles are directed into the new season by Head Coach Bert Brown. He will serve in his 21st straight year in that capacity and extend his record as the longest tenured Brentwood head coach.
Brentwood returns to action in 2020 fresh off the heels of a 2019 GISA AA Region 4 Championship, which was their first since 2006. The War Eagles were able to extend a state playoff run into the GISA AA Semifinals Round before losing to the eventual state champion Gatewood Gators.
