City Scope Magazine - High School Football Collector's Edition 2026
George Mullinix, owner of City Scope magazine, recently joined the show to celebrate the kickoff of the high school football season and announce the release of the 14th annual City Scope High School Football Collector's Edition. This highly anticipated glossy keepsake serves as the ultimate season preview, providing comprehensive coverage of 41 teams across nine counties and 14 different regions. Fans can expect to find detailed rosters, upcoming schedules, player stats, and exclusive commentary from local coaches to help them get ready for Friday nights.
This year’s issue is packed with unique features, including a look back at the greatest win streaks of the 21st century from powerhouse programs like Bradley Central, South Pittsburg, Red Bank, and McCallie. It also pays tribute to the "Voices of Friday Night Football," highlighting Gary Hornby, who is entering his 36th year calling games for the Bradley Bears, carrying on the 53-year legacy of his mentor, Corky Whitlock. Readers will enjoy a fun spotlight on "Couples Who Coach," such as Ringgold's head football coach Austin Crisp and head cheerleading coach Anna Crisp, alongside a section dedicated to game-day tailgate recipes. Additionally, the magazine highlights twenty elite players to watch, prominently featuring Tennessee commit David Gabriel George, an exceptional talent Mullinix compares to a young Derrick Henry.
