Entering my 7th season covering high school football in NWGA.

Over the next few weeks we will highlight 3 players to know off each of the 54 teams we follow at NwGaFootball.

Team #32: Mt Zion Eagles

Head Coach Brad Gordon enters his 8th season at Mt. Zion having led the Eagles to the post season in 6 of his 7 seasons. He guided them to their best season ever in 2017, a 10-3 record with a Semifinal appearance. The young Eagles were 3-8 in ’23 and return a solid group this Fall to compete in what may be the toughest Single A Public region in the State.

3 Names to Know in ’24

’26 LB Jayden Ackey

The 5’10 200 LB was named 1st Team All Region last season as a Sophomore. Was named to the RecruitGeorgia HM All State team at ILB. Aggressive tackler with a lot of muscle. Recently became a member of the Eagles 1000 pound Club.

’25 WR Carlos Randell

Big things come in small packages. The 5’6 150 pound WR/DB can absolutely fly. Was a 1st Team All Region selection last year after catching 33 passes for 329 yards with 4 TDs, including a 53 yarder vs Heritage Newnan. Ran a 11.24 early in April in the 100m.

’25 RB/FS Daniel Entrabartolo
