Tate speaks with Nolensville Knights head coach Scott Stidham alongside student-athletes Jake Jake Sentell and Ryan Newell to preview the program's upcoming season. Coach Stidham highlights the team's returning starters on both offense and defense, as well as offseason facility upgrades including new turf, a updated track, a video board, and LED lights. The players reflect on how competing in secondary sports—such as wrestling for Jake Sentell  and baseball and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Newell—translates to on-field football performance through physical toughness, leverage, quick decision-making, and team leadership. The group concludes by discussing their preseason preparations, upcoming scrimmages, early schedule challenges, and their collective goal of contending for a state championship.

Tate is joined by Coach Chad Broadrick of the Centennial Cougars for a live remote interview at the WCS Fall Media Day. Broadrick reflects on his transition into the head coaching role since his mid-January hire, discussing the challenges of assembling his coaching staff and praising the team's booster club for their exceptional fundraising efforts. Looking ahead to the season, he addresses the team's need to adapt after losing major offensive firepower from the 2025 roster, noting that they will rely heavily on a talented sophomore class and a starting lineup of five senior offensive linemen rather than attempting high-scoring shootouts. Finally, Broadrick outlines the team's preparation strategy, detailing upcoming scrimmages against Lebanon, Independence, and Father Ryan, while previewing a challenging Week 1 matchup against a revamped Stewarts Creek team.
