HAWK FOOTBALL COMING SOON! 

  WELCOME TO THE COACH HARRISON WEBSITE

2004 GISA Class"A" Coach of the Year Coach Harrison back from a great quick trip to the Forest Hill Collegiate Institute for a football clinic. See Contact Page. Forest Hills just finished up their season, see email on Contact Page!   GAME SUMMARIES CLICK HERE     Roster and schedule on the Heritage Page: Hi folks! My name is "Larry Harrison" and I'm a high school football coach in the great state of Georgia. Inside these pages I hope to have a little fun, and just throw some general information around about football, the "double wing offense" that I run as well as other football related things. This  site will also contain events of my football life, my football history, and NOW with my recent football family at The Heritage School in Newnan, Georgia, plus some just plain interesting and fun stuff we run across pertaining to the subjects stated. This site started as very small simple family site but with coaching, and incorporating my football, it quickly became my football site... I had noticed that many coaches and teams had a site and the various football coaching sites so, hey, I figured I had to get one too. I think the main thing that launched it into this football site is the learning and the teaching of the offense, and defense I run. From the beginning of my coaching life, I've had certain very ingrained ideas about coaching and getting the most out of kids, and these ideas were developed from having very good youth and high school coaches and later having my ideas pan out in very successful campaigns. I have learned to live with the criticism of being a bit unorthodox, but believe me, everything I do coaching wise is for a very good reason. No, it may not look exactly like the NFL but what I do, and what I think any good coach should do, is to give your kids the best possible chance to be successful. I'm not real concerned about how pretty it is, or if I'm preparing one individual for a career or if I look like some big-time pro football coach. I'm concerned about the team and all the kids as well as our representation of our parents and school. I am concerned about bringing success to our program and having the kids have fun playing football. If we have a standout athlete, he will stand out. If we don't, the team will still stand out because of our preparation. This policy has never failed me or any other coach I've admired over the years. What I have learned is that with the right preparation and approach to this game and a good communication with the kids themselves, you end up with many standout kids not just the one special kid, that is going to be great anyway!

2008-Coach Harrison has been hired as the new Head Football Coach at the Heritage School in Newnan Georgia where football is only 2 years old. Harrison had opted out of the coaching ranks and had basically sneaked away from coaching after 30 years of thoroughly enjoying his passion. Harrison had decided to pursue other interest such as music, grand kids, and an ever growing family, but left one foot out of the exit door for that one special coaching job to come along that in Harrison's previous statements, was quite a long shot, in that Harrison is not a teacher in academics, but a free agent coach for lack of a better term. Harrison has been coaching football for 30 years where his coaching started early on with the older youth kids in a high octane youth league in Georgia.

  In the mid 90's Georgia opened up the coaching ranks to community coaches so Harrison was picked up by a local High School, got certified and the rest has been a continuous string of success stories. The most recent success story is the 3 years at Nathanael Greene Academy in Siloam, GA, where most of that stint is documented on the NGA pages of this site. Though Harrison recalls many great times and success stories in his career, he said that the NGA job seems to be the most noted for it was the most visible and covered, being what happened and where it happened.

Now at Heritage Harrison said, "I know of the low numbers and that the kids are inexperienced and all that goes with a very young program but I also know what I've faced many times in the past. I've never promised anything but my best effort when it comes to coaching, you know, the same I expect from the kids, but then when you get that, good and great things can happen." "I never made NGA any promises and I was not asked for any at Heritage but I can  guarantee Heritage, my best effort, and that what ever football the Heritage kids have in them,  I will get out of them". "I'm taking the reigns from a very fine football coach in Ron Beaucham who I have grown to really admire over the last 3 or 4 years and am very flattered that he would recommend me for the job. Ron did a heck of a job getting the Heritage football program rolling, and if we can get a few more players to come out, I think we can make him proud. Ron really knows his football and Heritage was very fortunate to have him as their inaugural football coach".

"There are others very instrumental in getting the Heritage football program rolling and one in particular is the man who hired me and the juggernaut of the football program, Otis Jones. Like so many of the great people at Heritage, Otis is a football man, having played at the University of Georgia, a fine family man who gets involved to make things better, and works diligently on making the Heritage football program all it can be. I personally thank him for giving me this opportunity, and my aim is to make him very proud of his hire!"

Please come join us and become a fan of the Hawks by emailing or just touching base with this site from time to time for we will try to keep up with the latest Hawk Football events, players, and all that goes with it.
