Atlanta Falcons New Head Coach, Arthur Smith, Graduated From Georgetown Prep

By MCS Staff

Arthur Smith played a big role in the development of Derrick Henry as one of the best running backs in the NFL, turning the Titans offense around, and helping the team make the playoffs in consecutive years. The second-year offensive coordinator has helped guide veteran quarterback Ryan Tannehill to two of his best seasons in the NFL. He is responsible for installing an offense that features Derrick Henry in a prominent role, helping take the Titans to the AFC championship game last season and to the playoffs this year.

Smith, who graduated from Georgetown Prep in 2001, guided the Little Hoyas to an undefeated season and an IAC championship as a senior. He was inducted into the Georgetown Prep Athletic Hall of Fame in 2017, just two years before being promoted to offensive coordinator for the Titans.

Starz Show Power Has MoCo Ties

By MCS Staff

While networks like HBO and Showtime get a lot of attention for their original series, Starz has done a great job creating its own successful shows. Its highest rated series of all-time, Power, is a crime drama that aired for six seasons– from 2014 through February of 2020. It was created and produced in part by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, and follows the life of a man named James St. Patrick AKA “Ghost” who is dealing drugs in New York while working as a nightclub owner. Main characters James St. Patrick/Ghost, Tommy, Tasha, Tariq, and others don’t have any MoCo ties, a few actors who appeared throughout the series are MoCo natives.
