Banks County head football coach Mark Hollars joins the FCA North Georgia Coaches Show from Longstreet Cafe!

Coach Hollars sits down with Joel Williams and North Georgia FCA Director Clint Fair to discuss his journey from Ohio to North Georgia, the coaches who shaped his career, and his mission to build a winning football culture at Banks County. From playing college football at Eastern Michigan and Bowling Green to coaching at the high school and college levels, Hollars shares how his experiences have shaped his approach to leadership, character and developing young athletes.

The conversation turns to the Banks County Leopards and the challenge of rebuilding a program that has experienced years of coaching turnover. Coach Hollars discusses his four pillars — strong, tough, smart and together — and explains why consistency, accountability and teaching young players how to win are essential to building a lasting program. He also reflects on the commitment of his senior players, the development of younger athletes and the importance of giving the community a team to rally around.

Faith is at the heart of Coach Hollars' coaching philosophy. He opens up about how God led his family to Georgia, the influence of Christian mentors throughout his career, and why coaches have a responsibility to shape young men beyond the football field. Hollars also discusses the impact of FCA staff member Chase and the importance of partnerships between coaches, churches and the community in bringing the gospel to student-athletes.

Most importantly, Coach Hollars shares his belief that football can be a powerful force for unity in a divided world. From building relationships with local churches to encouraging players to care for one another, his mission goes beyond wins and losses. He believes lasting progress begins with loving people well, building trust and creating a culture where everyone understands they are part of something bigger than themselves.

And if he weren't coaching football? Coach Hollars reveals his passion for history, including the Civil War and World War II, and shares his dream of one day becoming a tour guide at Gettysburg Battlefield.

Jackson County head football coach Corey Moss joins the FCA North Georgia Coaches Show from Longstreet Cafe!

Coach Mobbs sits down with Joel Williams and North Georgia FCA Director Clint Fair to talk about Jackson County's rise as a football program, the work behind last year's 11-2 season, and what it means to build on the program's first playoff wins in school history.

Korey shares his philosophy of staying "on the hunt" instead of becoming comfortable with success, the importance of developing every player in the program, and why he focuses on building a program rather than simply building a season. With around 160 players in the ninth-through-12th-grade program, Moss explains how his staff works to prepare every athlete for his opportunity, whether he becomes a college football player or finishes his playing career in high school.

The conversation also dives into Coach Mobbs' approach to coaching relationships. He discusses knowing his players beyond the football field, understanding what they may be dealing with away from school, and creating a coaching environment where players can be challenged while still knowing they are cared for. Mobbs also shares his "three C's" — character, class and commitment — and why putting others before yourself is such an important part of building a successful team.

Family and faith are another major part of the conversation. Korey talks about his wife and children, balancing the demands of football with family life, making time for church, and the role FCA has played at Jackson County. He also discusses the impact of FCA staff members on his campus and the growth he has seen in his players and his own family through those relationships.

Mobbs also looks ahead to the 2026 season, discussing Jackson County's region schedule, the Tigers' 1-0 start in region play, upcoming opponents and the challenge of continuing to improve as the season moves forward.

Most importantly, Korey Mobbs explains why high school football should be about more than wins and losses. For the players who will continue playing beyond high school and the many who will not, he wants the experience to provide character, relationships and life lessons that stay with them long after their playing days are over.
