Coach’s View
Our schedule is tough. We face two non-region opponents in Heritage and Gordon Lee, who always put a great team on the field. Our region schedule is even more competitive with the likes of Calhoun (who make it to state every year), Sonoraville, North Murray, Adairsville, Ringgold, Murray Co., Haralson Co., and Coahulla Creek. We have continually improved each year, and our expectations are to continue to work hard for a region championship.
