Coach’s View
We had a great year in 2018, although we fell short of a region championship, which is one of our ultimate goals. We have two tough non-region matchups in Gordon Lee and Heritage, and our region consists of teams like Calhoun, North Murray, and Haralson Co. that are all very competitive. We have continually improved each year in order to accomplish our goals.
