So far this preseason, ABC 13 Sports has previewed eight area football teams. Now we take a look at G.W. The Eagles begin their season August 29th against Varina and hopefully by then they'll know who their starting quarterback is.

Right now it's a 3-way battle between two sophomores and a junior. Last year, G.W. had a senior QB in T.J. Price that helped the Eagles reach the regional finals. But 26 seniors are gone from that team and now a small number of upper classmen, mainly David Wilson and Tahron Goods, are in charge of leading a young but talented team.

Dan Newell, 6th Year G.W. Head Coach - "Their expectations are high because they've been on two really good football teams the last two seasons and they understand what it takes to win but whether they can communicate that and inspire the younger kids."

David Wilson, G.W. Sr. Running Back - "Usually I'm like one of the youngest on the field with all the seniors. This year I'm a senior so I gotta step up my position."

Tahron Goods, G.W. Sr. Full Back - "Trying to coach 'em and help them out a little better because, like I said we still got a young team so basically we'll be helping them out but I'm like, as coach was saying we're going to keep working and what not, trying to improve and get better."
