In this week’s edition of the Inside the Lines High School Sports Podcast with Jim Powers, we finish our football previews for the upcoming season with a pair of successful coaches that are looking for big things out of their squads this year. First, Jim talks with Kirkwood head coach Jeremy Macklin about how his first year at the helm went and he talked about the upcoming season. Then, Fort Zumwalt North head coach Joe Bacon joins Jim to discuss his team’s preparation for this fall.
