Coach’s View

We have a great competitive schedule with local competition. We get to play a lot of local rivals in Coahulla, North Murray, Dalton, and Southeast. Our region schedule will be tough with a lot of parity. Calhoun will start the year as the region favorite. I can see many scenarios where the top four teams all have one or two losses. Coming to compete each week will be a must!
