Athens ISD athletes are set to start a new season Monday, Aug. 3, with tennis, cross country, volleyball and football players scheduled to begin practice.

I spoke with Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Zac Harrell Wednesday about getting back to work in the year of COVID and about how it feels starting his second year in Athens.

“We’re excited in Year 2 just because our kids have now been around the way we do things and our staff for almost 18 months now,” Harrell said. “They know what we expect. We’re excited just about culture in Year 2.”

Part of that culture is now displayed on the field house wall in the form of a large SWARM graphic which highlights the program’s core values:

  • Selfless

  • Win Everyday

  • All In

  • Relentless Effort

  • Mental Toughness

Listen to the interview to hear the coach discuss the Hornet football team on the cusp of the 2020 season.
