That’s a good thing, because tonight’s Poag Bowl could provide a test to those bonds.
Brothers Preston and Jay Poag will be head coaches on opposing sidelines as North Murray visits Christian Heritage in the season opener for both football teams. Making it more interesting is that Preston spent the previous five seasons leading the Christian Heritage program, with Jay on his staff part of that time.
“It’s tough because those guys are my boys, too,” Preston said of the Lions, who last year earned the school’s first win in the GHSA playoffs since joining the association in 2012. “It will be different being on the other sideline. There are a lot of good memories there, especially after having the success we had last year.
“I hope they continue to have success just not this week.”
