Curt and Effie open this week’s Inside the Lines by reflecting on where they were and what they remember from Sept. 11, 2001, before turning their attention to high school football.

Madison senior Aiden Proctor joins the show to talk about the Rams’ changing culture under coach Kobi Johnson and the team’s response to a 54-0 season-opening loss to Shelby. With Madison now 2-1, Proctor discusses his leadership at middle linebacker, the Rams’ defensive identity and expectations for the rest of 2026. He also discusses the Mansfield Senior rivalry, his wrestling career and hopes of competing collegiately as a wrestler.

This episode is brought to you by Graham Auto Mall.
Intro and outro music is "Story of the Sunflower Samurai" by local artist Vaundoom.
