Meet Keith Harris, a senior middle linebacker for the Gainesville High football team who was born and raised in Hall County. He is a very talented football player who can’t wait to take on Hall County rival West Hall High inn the season opener on Friday at City Park.
“After the success they had in there rushing last week against Haralson, I’m pretty sure they are going have a major running game and try to catch us off guard with a pass strike down the field every once in a while,” Keith said. “The (GHS)  coaches have drawn up a game plan that I believe will be successful!” 
Last season, Keith had a team high 175 tackles. He said he hopes to attend the University of Texas or the University of Miami and play football.
We want to thank Keith for spending time with us and telling us more about his life and love of Hall County.
