quarterback battle between
Harris and Hickman head-
ing into Friday's opener at
Gainesville.
"He (Hickman) does a
good job, but it's a lot to ask
of a ninth grader,' Nelson
said. "Of those two dudes,
they've both got different
skill sets, can do different
things. But I don't think it.

3. While the linemen are
highly toute what skill
position players shouM the
Bulldogs worry about?
Coach Webb has made
it dear he's still looking for
some guys to stand out as
other wide receiver op-
tions. Running back has
been something the Red
Elephants have lacked a
domm" ated playmaker at in
recent years.

4. Obviously MP throttled
the Elephants last year in just
one half of play. But the Bull-
dogs lost just about all of their
starters. Does Gainesville feel
they can win this year, or are
they still smarting from last
year's beatdown?
In my conversations with
coach Webb, we never talked
about the Mary Persons
game. Everyone knows
Mary Persons is one of the
best programs year-in and
year-out in Middle Georgia.
I'm sure everyone at Gaines-
viUe would like to win this
game since ifi; the first one
on the schedule, but realisti-
cally Mary Persons is one of
the best Class 4A programs
in the state and almost beat
Marist in the quarterfinals
last year. I expect the score to
be doser than the 42-0 final
in2018.
5. This will be Mary
Persons'first visit to Bobby
Gruhn Field at City Park in
Gainesville. What is spec d
about the place and what do
Bulldog fans need to know if
they're making the trip?
City Park Stadium is neat
for several reasons. It sits
right downtown, less than
a mile from the downtown
square. When the game
is going, you can hear the
public address system loud
and dear from our office,
which is about half a mile
from the stadium. I believe
Gainesville has been playing
at City Park Stadium since
the 1920s (maybe earlier) so
a lot of remarkable players
(Deshaun Watson, A.]. John-
son, Billy Martin and Billy
Lothridge, among many
others) played on the same
fidd. From the visitors' side,
there is a steep embankment
behind the Civic Center
which has a really good view
overlooking the stadium.
Those who don't want to sit
on hard bleachers can stand
and watch from the side
overlooking it. Parking is a
bit fight. A restaurant called
"Sliced" is fight beside the
stadium. Really good food.
