Eagle Nation, please help me welcome the newest member of our staff,
@TEwracademy
, to The Mpire. Coach Edwards is bringing in tons of knowledge and experience from all levels, and is ready to pour into our kids and community. Let's Get It Coach!!
What a way to start off this Final 4 week! Riley Michael Reaves entered the world on Monday, starting this week off with a BOOM 💥💥. Everyone is healthy, happy, and will begin QB training later this week.
Not enough characters on here to allow me to describe how grateful & humbled I am to be the next HFC at Milton HS. I cannot wait to serve & give this community everything I have to continue to take this program to new heights. Thank you all so much for all of the love & support!
I am proud and excited to announce
@CoachBenReaves
as Milton Football’s new Head Coach! Coach Reaves has been our OC for the past 5 years! He will continue to cultivate the culture set at the M! Eagle Nation, join me in welcoming Coach Reaves and his family!

Baby Silas aka Baby Si finally arrived at 7:49 this morning. He was 6lb 13oz and 20 inches long. Mama and baby are doing great! Looking forward to a lifetime of memories with these two.
I would love to get some coaches together to meet w/
@OfficialGHSA
to discuss the stadium capacity rule. There are very few schools in 6A/7A who can host. Our largest paid home attendance this season was 5000. Still, by rule, we can’t host. Tonight we played in front of 986.
I cannot thank everyone enough for all of the love and support I have received over the past 24 hours. Just reason number 184,747 of why this place is so special.
So Rush said the best team in 2018 didn’t win? I assume he meant on paper, because it’s been settled who was better on the actual field. At least that’s what my state championship ring said.
Legendary or Infamous? Fans love him or hate him. Rush Propst has been hired to take over the famed
@ValdostaFB
program and GPB's
@MattStewartTV
spoke with him.
Listen to his interview with coach Propst here:
If you still think we’re fighting for sports for the games, you still don’t get it. We’re fighting for the moments, the lessons, and the memories these kids will always have. It’s always been more than a game.
“VIRTUAL HIGH 5” to Morgan Co. softball coaches Anne Stamps & Jason McBay who learned during the game that Newton Co. was postponing fall sports-realizing this could likely be the final game for Eastside’s two seniors-created an impromptu “Senior Night” for the VISITING players!
So a college player can follow his former college coach, but if a college hires a HS coach, that college cannot sign a player from that HS for the next two years? 🤔🤔🤯🤯
Caleb Williams, a former top recruit and the undisputed top passer in a rollicking college transfer market, is following his former coach, Lincoln Riley, from Oklahoma to USC in a major move that’s bound to shift the balance of power out west.

Eagle Nation, help me welcome our new Defensive Coordinator,
@CoachWillyMath
. Coach Willingham previously served as Head Coach & Defensive Coordinator at Lanier H.S. in Gwinnett County. I can't wait to watch this guy get after some opposing offenses!! Let's Go To Work Coach!!
Excited to announce that Coach Drew Connell will continue to be our DC and DL Coach at Milton HS. Coach Connell has served as DC since 2018 and consistently produces one of the top defenses in the state year after year.
#BETter
🚨Eagle Nation🚨I’m FIRED UP to welcome (back)
@Milton_AD1
to our Football Staff. In the midst a new chapter in his life, Coach Sly will be joining our staff to pour into our young men as The Director of Player Development. Coach, welcome back!
YES 👇🏻👇🏻. If you take away HS football, our kids WILL find something to do. It will be in groups, it won’t involve masks, & they won’t care about 6 feet apart. At least with us they get their temps checked, wear masks inside, distance when possible, and are active.
@OfficialGHSA
The safest place for our kids is with us, with structure and rules and protocols!! I hand out 20 mask a day!! Do you think they are wearing one at home? They don’t have one !!
I cannot thank everyone enough for all of the love and support you showed this team this season. We fell short on our ultimate goal, but these kids still had a phenomenal year, and we could not have done it without all of the support that we received. As always, Go Eagles.
🚨EAGLE NATION🚨 Please help me welcome another member to our Coaching Staff,
@TWithJay

our players both on and off the field.
HUGE shoutout to QB1,
@LukeNickel5
, for breaking several school records last Thursday, and also being recognized as the STATE player of the week by
@GHSFdaily
‼️
People always question why we play the toughest non-region schedule we can……Here’s why 👇🏻👇🏻‼️ Because when it’s win or go home we know we’re playing the toughest in the country and we better be ready.
Eagle Nation, help me welcome our new QB/OC,
@NGCoachJackson
. Coach Jackson comes to us from North Gwinnett, where amongst other accomplishments, he also helped lead the 2017 team to a State Championship. I can't wait to watch him light that new Jumbotron up every Friday night!!
It’s been a RECORD BREAKING 2 weeks at The M. 90+ Coaches, 40+ Offers, Double Digit Head Coaches stopping by. You cannot hide if you’re at The Mpire. They will find you. 👀👀
I’m so tired of this debate
@TEwracademy
and I know you are too. Find me 1 D1 College HC that will text me saying they’ll offer a kid without talking to me (HC) first, but only a recruiting service, or handler, and that’s good enough for them to offer. And if we can find one,
Shoutout to
@huddlbox
for making sure Friday night sideline replay and Monday-Thursday practice playlists are both seen and heard at an ELITE level this season‼️‼️
🚨EAGLE NATION🚨 Help me welcome back one of The OG's of The Mpire, who will be rejoining the staff this upcoming season, Coach Drew Connell. BIG TIME hire, can't wait to have him back at The M!
I could not be more proud or excited for
@TEwracademy
and his new journey. He will be missed by
@MiltonEagles_FB
, but we cannot wait to see him go SOAR! Once an Eagle, always an Eagle.
🚨HUGE STAFF UPDATE 🚨 Eagle Nation, lets welcome THE Mad Scientist,
@dj_BluMajik
, who will be joining our staff and working with our Varsity WR next season‼️I can’t wait to watch this guy go to work‼️
I cannot thank
@CoachSElliott
and the
@GeorgiaStateFB
coaches enough for hosting me and allowing me to be a part of this incredible opportunity. So many great things ahead for this school and this program.
Today we were blessed to hear from one of THE GOATS of this game we love so much. I don’t think there is an award out there, that Marcus Allen didn’t win throughout his career. Thank you so much
@MarcusAllenHOF
for your time and motivation you provided this team today!
I love this man & will miss him a ton. There’s never been a better HC, mentor, and most importantly friend to do it. He’s taken us all to new heights, & will always be a legend at the M. Looking forward to seeing him do it big time on TV one day. Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle.
🚨EAGLE NATION🚨 Join me in welcoming
@caleb_reaves
to our offensive staff. Coach Caleb Reaves will be working alongside Coach Edwards with our WRs. Caleb comes to us with almost 10 years of coaching experience and will be a FORCE, both on the field and in the film room.
I have a son due in 2 weeks! I strongly agree hate & racism are both taught, and that babies are not born with those characteristics. When Baby Silas finally gets here, he will be taught love and compassion for all from Day 1. This is how we break a trend from repeating itself.
As a Coach you have to love the
@OfficialGHSA
rules clinics we sit though. One of the big pushes this year was the knee pads below the knees. I mean at least enforce it during a Game 1 TV game 🤯🤯.
As Coaches we should start a database. Expose the recruiters and schools that do your kids dirty. Make it public. Kids and parents can still make their own choices, but at least they’ll know the history of who is selling them what.

Our players have invested 350+ hrs (excluding extra individual work) for a chance to play 48 min, sideline to sideline, as 1Heartbeat, &

their dream. Could not be more excited to see this program from top to bottom lay it on the line one more time tonight.
Bryce is a P5 DB with an offer from
@GeorgiaFootball
. BUT this is why you don't play kids JUST one way. Give the most explosive kids on the field a chance with the ball and see what happens.
🚨Facility Mprovement Alert🚨BIG things happening at The Mpire this week. Turfing an additional practice field, always providing our athletes with nothing but the best.
Me: Hey DJ, play “Return of the Mack”
It was so good to have one of the original architects of The Mpire,
@coachclack23
, come back and speak to our team this afternoon. Once an Eagles, Always an Eagle!
We loved having National Champion QB
@StetsonIv
on campus today working with our QBs at the Nike Next Gen Camp. He was incredible to work with and dropped tons of knowledge on the kids.
Incredible day at The Mpire. First, we were blessed to hear a great message from The Bus
@JeromeBettis36
, and then one of our key sponsors
@AngelaKrauseFrd
presented the guys new Nike practice jerseys. It’s a great day to be an Eagle 🦅🦅🔥🔥
I love that GA made the CDC list of forecasted states or territories that should see decreases in cases over the next four weeks! Just in time for kickoff!!
A Spring Game has been found! Thank you to
