In 2020, high school football brought a brief but welcome escape from the devastation, anxiety and burdens the pandemic placed on all of us. For a few hours each Friday night, the sport, at least in part, provided a welcome respite and escape from the constant onslaught of challenges the pandemic presented.

It was an unprecedented season. Games were cancelled or delayed due to safety protocols, many just a few hours before kickoff. The season itself was pushed back several weeks. Many local teams did not play a full 10-game season, a hallmark of high school football. The stands were either empty or limits were placed on how many fans could cheer their team on in person. Even seemingly small aspects of the game, like the midfield coin toss, were altered, further evidence the 2020 season was a year unlike any other.

But perhaps the most lasting impact of the 2020 campaign, one with even larger implications and staying power than a championship trophy or bragging rights, is the renewed sense of appreciation for the game and its ability to bring people and communities together.

The added admiration will make the 2021 season remarkable, because perhaps more than any other year, fans, players, coaches, students and communities are excited to see the return of some normalcy to the sport they love.

Though COVID-19 is still very much with us, this high school football season will feel and appear more “normal.” Fans will again pack into stadiums. Traditions, both longstanding and new, will return. The pageantry, the pre-game tailgating and all the elements of high school football that make it such a special experience in North Metro Atlanta will be back.

Like 2020, this season will be a year like no other, if only for the renewed sense of excitement and adoration for the sport it will bring.

And with high school football’s return, I am thrilled the 2021 season also marks the reappearance of Appen Media Group’s Friday Night Lights special publication.

Within these pages, you can read more about each local team’s history, its head coach, 2021 schedule and about the rivalries that make the sport so special in our community.

My special thanks goes out to Appen Media’s editorial, sales and production teams for making this publication possible, and to the Georgia High School Football Historians Association, which provided the historical information for each team.

I sincerely hope you enjoy Friday Night Lights, and with it, the return of high school football here in North Metro Atlanta.

Head coach: Jason Kervin Jason Kervin is entering his second season as the Raiders’ head coach.

Kervin took over the Alpharetta program in the tumultuous 2020 season, the program’s first in Class 7A, leading the team to a 3-6 overall record.

The Raiders’ playoff appearance last season was their fifth straight trip to the postseason.

Prior to joining Alpharetta, Kervin spent 12 years at Alabama powerhouse Hoover High School, where he served in various roles, including a fiveyear stint as offensive coordinator. He racked up six state championships and a national title with the Bucs.

TEAM HISTORY Alpharetta began its football program in 2004 under head coach Bill Waters.

After winning a single game in their inaugural campaign, the Raiders went 5-5 in 2005 and 6-4 in 2006 but won just six games over the next two seasons.

Former NFL player Jason Dukes led the Raiders to their first playoff appearance in 2010, followed a season later by their first region championship.

After compiling a 7-4 record in 2012, the Raiders reeled off two straight region titles, including in 2014, Jacob Nichols’ first season as head coach.

After a disappointing 5-5 campaign in 2015, the Raiders reached the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years in 2016.

In 2017, the Raiders went 11-2 and reached the quarterfinals of the state playoffs for the first time. They also captured the program’s fourth region championship with an 8-0 record in region play.

The Raiders went 6-4 in the 2018 regular season and placed third in the Region 7-AAAAAA standings to capture the program’s third straight playoff berth but were ousted in the first round of the playoffs.

The program continued its streak of winning seasons and playoff appearances in 2019, compiling a 7-4 overall record and placing second in the Region 7-6A standings in Nichols’ final season at the helm.

Jason Kervin took over the program in 2020 and led the team to a 3-6 mark with a state playoff berth.

2 0 2 1 RI VA LRY SE RI E S Milton and Alpharetta have faced off each year sincer 2006, just two years after the Raiders played their first season. Beginning in the 2020 season, the rivalry contest has added meaning with the two teams again playing in the same region.

Milton has owned the rivalry, winning the last five contests and 12 of 15 total meetings, but the contests have been bitterly contested, both on the field and in the stands.

The two programs played in the same region for the first six years of the series. Alpharetta downed the Eagles in their first meeting in 2006 before a four-year win streak by Milton. In 2011, Alpharetta won its first region championship, which included a 20-19 win over Milton.

The teams were moved out of the same region in 2012, but their next five meetings were decided by one score.

Milton earned one-touchdown wins the next three seasons, including a 31-24 overtime victory in 2013, before Alpharetta posted its last win in the series, 24-21, in 2015.

Alpharetta nearly earned its first win streak in the series in 2016, but a lastsecond field goal was missed to give the Eagles a 14-12 win.

For the past four seasons, the Eagles have secured wins with larger margin of victories, including a 45-0 shutout in 2019.

After a close first half in the 2020 contest, Milton pulled away to win 35-20.

BLESSED TRINITY 2021 RIVALRY SERIES

Head coach: Tom Hall

Blessed Trinity and Cartersville do not have a longstanding rivalry having hit the field against one another just three times, but in every instance the teams have played, a championship or season has been at stake with both teams ranked in the top 10 of their classification.

The two teams first met in the second round of the playoffs in 2012 with the Canes edging BT by a single point in the second round of the Class 3A playoffs.

In 2017, the teams met for the second time and again in the second round of the playoffs. The Canes entered the game as the two-time defending state champs with a 41-game win streak and future Clemson standout Trevor Lawrence lining up behind center. Though BT played an underdog role in the game, the Titans scored a game-winning touchdown in the final seconds to hand Cartersville its first loss in over two years. The Titans used that performance to propel them to the program’s first state championship.

The following year the teams met again, this time for the 4A state title. The Titans again got the better of their newfound rivals, winning the contest 23-9 for their second-straight state championship.

With the 2020-21 reclassification, BT and Cartersville were both placed in Region 7-5A. Their long-awaited matchup in 2020 was cancelled, however, due to COVID-19 protocols, which secured BT’s region title.

Former Blessed Trinity offensive coordinator Tom Hall has returned to take over the Titans’ program for 2021.

Hall was a coach and teacher at Blessed Trinity from 2007-18, most notably serving as the offensive coordinator during the team’s first state finals appearance in 2015 and their first state title in 2017.

During his tenure with the program, Hall had coaching stints under BT’s two former head football coaches, Ricky Tuner and Tim McFarlin.

Hall left the school in 2018 for personal reasons and served as the offensive coordinator at Somerset Canyons Academy High School in Florida.

T EA M H I STO RY Blessed Trinity is no stranger to success throughout the team’s 20-year history, and the program has risen to be one of the most prominent in the state with three state titles over the last four years.

Blessed Trinity began its program in 2001 under the direction of current athletic director Ricky Turner. The Titans showed their winning ways early with a 7-4 record and playoff appearance in 2002 playing their first full varsity schedule.

The Titans failed to have winning seasons in 2003 and 2004, but earned their first region championship the next season. The Titans went 30-20 over the next four years but were shut out of the playoffs.

Tim McFarlin began his historic tenure in 2011 and racked up a 112-20-1 overall record, seven region titles and three state championships.

In McFarlin’s first two seasons the Titans won 18 games and reached the second round of the playoffs both years.

The Titans began a four-year run of region championships

in 2013. During that time, they posted three 10-plus win seasons, including a state runner up finish in 2015, the program’s first state finals appearance.

After a run to the quarterfinals in 2016, the Titans were back in the state title game 2017 and captured the program’s first championship with a win over region rivals Marist.

The Titans compiled an undefeated record in 2018 against a challenging schedule and repeated as Class 4A state champions.

The Titans completed a state title three-peat in 2019 with a 14-1 record and the program’s sixth region title in seven years.

BT battled through several game cancellations due to COVID-19 in 2020, playing just nine total games in their first season in Class 5A. The Titans fell short of winning their fourth straight title with a last-minute loss to eventual champs Warner Robins in the quarterfinals but compiled an 8-1 overall mark and won their third straight region title.

2 0 2 1 RI VA LRY SE RI E S Cambridge and Centennial have squared off each year since the Bears joined Class 6A in 2016, and the budding North Fulton rivalry continues in 2021 with the teams meeting again this October.

The rivalry series has not been marked by close games, but almost all the five meetings have carried significance in the final region standings.

The programs first squared off in 2016, with Cambridge taking a 3514 loss to the Knights, one of just two losses in region play that year for the Bears, which marked their first trip to the postseason.

The Knights came back from a 21-17 halftime deficit in 2017 to earn their second win in the series, which proved to be a frustrating loss for the Bears as they were shut out of the playoffs that year on tiebreaking procedures.

After a 69-35 barn-burner win by Centennial in 2018, Cambridge flipped the script and has started a series win streak of its own.

The Bears downed Centennial 29-7 in 2019 and earned the first shutout win in the series, 37-0, last season ahead of the program’s second trip to the postseason.

The teams continue their streak of playing early in their region schedules this season and will match up again on Oct. 1.

Head coach: Craig Bennett Craig Bennett continues his tenure as the only head coach of Cambridge entering the 2021 season. This year will mark his 10th season at the helm of the program.

Prior to Cambridge, Bennett coached at Milton, the Darlington School and Pope.

Bennett has led the Bears to a 41-52 mark in nine years that includes three winning seasons and two trips to the state playoffs.

RO S T ER

T E AM H IS T OR Y The Cambridge program began in 2012 under current head coach Craig Bennett, who has led the team through several region re-alignments and the Bears’ classification change to 6A beginning in 2016.

The Bears began their program with a 4-16 record over their first two seasons in Class 5A within a sub-region of Region 7.

Cambridge moved to the “B” sub-region in 2014 and compiled their two winningest seasons in program history, a 7-3 mark in 2014 and 2015. Despite their strong regular season records those years, the Bears were shut out of the playoffs both times due to the sub-region’s system for determining playoff berths.

The team got over the postseason hump in 2016, however, their first season in Class 6A. The Bears compiled a 6-4 regular season record to earn the program’s first trip to the playoffs.

In 2017, the Bears again just missed out on the postseason. They finished the season 4-6 overall and 4-4 in Region 7-6A play but lost a tiebreaker for the final postseason berth from the region.

The program went 3-7 in 2018 and 4-6 in 2019 ahead of a strong 2020 season. Last year, the Bears won three of their last four region games to earn the No. 3 spot in the final 7-6A standings to make their return to the state playoffs. The Bears then made history by downing Kell in the first round to earn the team’s first ever playoff win.

After winning just seven games in their first four years, the Knights had their first winning season in 2001 with an 8-4 record and secured a trip to the second round of the playoffs.

In 2002, the Knights won their only region championship and completed an undefeated regular season before again falling in the second round of the postseason.

Despite an 8-2 record the next season, the Knights fell short of a playoff berth in subdivision play.

After three straight winning seasons, the Knights won just seven games over the next three, including two years under their second head coach, Xarvia Smith.

Jeff Measor took over the program in 2007 and led the Knights to a 24-28 record and two postseason appearances in five seasons. Jeff Carlberg began his three-year tenure as head coach in 2012, but the Knights failed to compile a winning season under his direction.

Lenny Gregory arrived in 2015 and led the program’s resurgence. After a 5-5 season, the Knights went 8-3 in 2016 and reached the playoffs for the first time in five years.

Michael Perry led the Knights to an 8-4 record in 2017 and the Knights captured their first playoff win since their region championship season in 2002.

Perry led the Knights to another winning season and playoff appearance in 2018.

The Knights’ coaching changes continued in 2019 with Shane Sams taking over from Perry. Sams led the Knights for one season in which the team failed to win a game for the first time since the fledgling program’s second season in 1998.

Shawn O’Sullivan took over the team last year, but the winless streak continued. Centennial compiled an 0-8 mark last year and will enter 2020 on a 19game losing streak.

14 / FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS 2021 SEASON

2021 RIVALRY SERIES

Six miles separate Centennial and Chattahoochee, two programs that made their debuts in North Fulton in the 1990s. Chattahoochee is Centennial’s most contested program with the teams battling 19 times since 1998, with all but two of those contests in region play.

Centennial holds a one-game edge over Hooch entering the 2021 season in a series that has been marked by win streaks from both programs.

Chattahoochee won the first meetings before the Knights put together their own four-game win streak. Of the first eight contests between the teams, six were decided by two scores or less.

After 10 straight meetings, the rivalry was put on hold following region realignment in 2008. In 2012, they were again placed in the same region and the rivalry resumed.

Chattahoochee earned two straight wins in 2012-13 before Centennial went on a five-game win streak in the series from 2014-18.

The Knights have fallen in the last two meetings amid winless seasons.

Head coach: Shawn O’Sullivan Shawn O’Sullivan will return to lead the Knights in 2021, his second season at the helm.

O’Sullivan’s coaching career began at the collegiate level, including a stint at Southeastern Louisiana University.

In 2015, he served as the linebackers coach for Westminster, which won a state championship that year. He took a job as defensive coordinator for Mt. Vernon in 2016 ahead of a 1-year stint coaching at his alma mater, Pope.

O’Sullivan became a familiar face in North Fulton County in 2018 when he was tapped to lead the North Atlanta program, Centennial’s former region rival. In two years, O’Sullivan led North Atlanta to a 12-9 record, including a 7-4 mark in 2019 and the Warriors’ first trip to the playoffs in over 20 years.

O’Sullivan took over the Centennial program last year, in which the Knights went 0-8 for their second straight winless season.

SCHED ULE

Chattahoochee has one of the longest running programs in North Fulton. The Cougars began play in 1991 under their first head coach, Milo Mathis. After two seasons, Bill Waters, the Cougars’ winningest coach, took over the program.

Waters led Hooch to its first winning season in 1994 and first playoff appearance a year later.

In 1997 the Cougars captured the first of their seven region championships and reached the quarterfinals in the state playoffs. Over the next six years under Waters, the Cougars went 54-19 and captured four region titles and reached the playoffs each season.

Terry Crowder took over the program in 2004 and led the Cougars for nine seasons. From 2004-12, Hooch went 60-40.

In 2010, the Cougars captured their first region 8-20 8-27 9-3 9-17 9-24 10-1 10-15 10-22 10-29 11-5

championship in seven years before completing an undefeated season and capturing the Class 4A state championship.

Hooch captured their last region title in 2011 and went 10-2 overall.

After a 7-4 season in 2012, Michael Owens led the program to a 4-6 record in 2013, his only season at the helm.

Vince Strine has led the Cougars to a 16-25 from 2014-18.

After winning just four games in the 2014 and 2015 seasons, Hooch went on an upswing, going 5-5 in 2016 before reaching the playoffs and posting a winning record for the first time in seven years in 2017.

However, that season marks the last winning year for Hooch.

The team went 0-10 in 2018 and has won five games under Malone the last two years.

DE NM A RK TEAM HISTORY Though Denmark will be fielding a team for just the fourth season in 2021, the Danes have already found success.

The program began in 2018 with the Danes fielding former West Forsyth and South Forsyth players through redistricting.

Despite a relatively inexperienced team with no seniors, the Danes compiled a notable first season, winning their first three games, and going 5-5 overall following a challenging region schedule under then head coach Terry Crowder.

Though Denmark finished in a three-way tie for the final playoff position from 7-AAAA, they missed out on a berth through tiebreakers.

Denmark continued to rise in year No. 2, compiling a 7-3 overall record. The Danes also made their first playoff appearance.

Mike Palmieri took over as head coach last season and continued Denmark’s rise.

The team, playing in its first season in Class 7A, went 5-4 in the regular season and finished as region runner up in 6-7A. The team also won its first postseason game last November, a blowout win over Discovery, before falling to eventual state runner-up Collins Hill in the second round.

18 / FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS 2021 SEASON

Head coach: Mike Palmieri Mike Palmieri will lead the Danes again in 2021, his second year as head coach of the program.

Palmieri joined Denmark ahead of the 2020 season after an impressive stint in North Carolina.

He led Mallard Creek High School for 13 seasons, which included 139 wins and three state championships. He was twice named the North Carolina Associated Press Coach of the Year.

Palmieri took over as Denmark’s second head coach in 2020. The Danes had a historic run in his first season, compiling a 6-5 record, the team’s second straight winning season, and winning the program’s first playoff game, a 63-0 win over Discovery.

2 0 21 R I VA L RY SE RI E S With just three seasons under their belt and already a classification and region change, Denmark has not yet fully established a local rival. However, the program’s transition to Region 6-7A ahead of the 2020 season is sure to change that with the Danes now competing against their fellow Forsyth County 7A schools.

Denmark first suited up against an in-county opponent in their inaugural, 2018 season. That year, the Danes took down Forsyth Central 7-3, a significant win for the fledgling program.

The two Forsyth County teams were set to face off again in 2019, but inclement weather cancelled the game, and the two programs could not reschedule the match it later in the season.

The 2020 season marked Denmark’s first in 6-7A and pitted the program against all of its cross-town rivals.

For the Danes, there was immediate success in their new region alignment.

Denmark knocked off North Forsyth, Lambert and South Forsyth in its first meeting against the teams and improved to 2-0 against Forsyth Central. Those wins allowed the Danes to play West Forsyth in the de-facto region title game last November, but the Wolverines handed Denmark its first loss against an incounty opponent, 20-10, to deny the Danes their first region crown.

DUNWO O D Y T E AM H IS T OR Y Dunwoody’s program began in 1972 with the Wildcats fielding their first full varsity schedule in 1974 under head coach Will Jackson.

Dunwoody had early success, compiling a 37-24 record in the program’s first six seasons, including a playoff berth in 1978.

Roy Sparks led the program from 1976-80, compiling a 26-25 record. Ken Pettus took over as head coach in 1981 and led the Wildcats to an 8-2 overall record in 1983.

David Kelly, the program’s winningest coach (77-38-1) took over as head coach in 1984, the first year of his 10-year tenure.

The Wildcats earned playoff berths in four of Kelly’s first six seasons ahead of the program’s surge to the top of Class 4A. Dunwoody won its first region title in 1991 and repeated as 7-AAAA champs the next two seasons. In 1993, the Wildcats compiled an undefeated, 15-0, record and won the Class 4A state championship, the program’s only state title.

After their state title run, Kenny Reese took over as head coach and compiled a 24-12 record with three playoff berths in three seasons.

The Wildcats had just one winning season under Don Savage, an 8-3 record in 1998, before James Teter took over the program in 2002.

Teter’s tenure began inauspiciously with a forfeited 2002 season followed by two straight losing years, but the Wildcats began an upswing in 2006 with six straight winning seasons, including a region title in 2008, Teter’s final year at the school.

The Wildcats have since struggled with nine straight losing seasons and no appearances in the state playoffs.

The 2021 season will mark Dunwoody’s second in Class 7A.

20 / FR IDAY NIGHT LIGHTS 2021 SEASON

R I VA L R Y SERIES Dunwoody will meet Chamblee for the 24th time this season, making it the most contested series on the Wildcats’ schedule this season. Though the two programs have met just six times in region play, just four miles separate the two longstanding programs.

The teams first met in 1974, Dunwoody’s first season will a full varsity schedule. The Wildcats won four of the first six meetings in the 1970s and ’80s.

After 18 seasons, the rivalry resumed in 2002 with Chamblee winning four straight contests (one via Dunwoody forfeit).

The rivalry was put on hold after the 2007 season but resumed in 2010 and has been played each year since.

Dunwoody downed Chamblee in 2010 and 2011, the final years the rivalry was an in-region matchup, before Chamblee won the next two.

The Wildcats owned the series from 2014-19, winning all five contests with three shutout wins. However, Chamblee ended that streak last year with a 21-10 win.

Head coach: Michael Nash Michael Nash will lead Dunwoody for his seventh season as head coach this year.

Nash joined Shiloh High School’s coaching staff in 1995 and remained with the team for six years. After a long stint away from coaching, Nash returned to coaching at North Gwinnett before returning to Shiloh, his alma mater.

In 2015, he took over the Dunwoody program, his first head coaching job. The Wildcats have compiled a 14-44 record under Nash.

FELLOWSHIP CHRISTIAN T E AM H IS T OR Y

Head coach: Tim McFarlin

Fellowship Christian is the newest program among its Holcomb Bridge neighbors of Roswell and Blessed Trinity and has risen to become one of the most prolific Class-A Private programs in the state in recent years.

Fellowship’s program got off the ground in 2004 under head coach Bob Lord, now the namesake of the Paladins’ field. After two seasons in the Georgia Independent School Association, the team moved to the GHSA in 2006 and found immediate success. Fellowship earned a playoff berth in its first season in the GHSA ahead of an 11-2 mark and the team’s first region title in 2007. The team also reached the quarterfinals of the state playoffs that year.

Following their early success in the GHSA, the Paladins entered a long skid. The team won 15 games over the next five seasons under head coaches Terry Luck (2008-09) and Hunter Chadwick (2010-12).

Al Morrell, the Paladins’ winningest coach, took over in 2013. After three seasons around the .500 mark, Fellowship broke through in 2016 for their most successful season to date. The Paladins went 13-1 that season, won a region championship and reached the state championship, where they fell in an overtime heartbreaker to ECLA. The Paladins followed their state runner-up finish with a 7-5 mark and a trip to the second round of the playoffs in 2017.

Over the last three seasons, the Paladins have been perennial title contenders.

The team went 10-2 in 2018 and reached the quarterfinals of the state playoffs, 12-1 in 2019 and reached the semifinals and last season earned a 10-1 overall mark with another trip to the quarterfinals.

Fellowship Christian is under new leadership for 2021 with local coaching titan Tim McFarlin taking over the program. McFarlin replaces Al Morell, who retired after the 2020 season after leading the Paladins to a 66-26 record with three region titles and a state runner-up finish in eight seasons.

McFarlin brings over four decades of coaching experience at North Fulton schools to Fellowship.

McFarlin, a Milton graduate, began his coaching tenure at Roswell, where he spent over 30 years with the Hornets.

In 1998, he took over as Roswell head coach, leading the program to an 82-34-1 mark with two region titles, a 2006 state championship and 10 winning seasons.

After stepping away from Roswell and coaching for several seasons, McFarlin helped get the King’s Ridge football program off the ground.

In 2011, he took over at another neighboring school, Blessed Trinity, where he continued his winning ways.

From 2011-20, McFarlin led BT to seven region championships, three state titles and a 112-20-1 overall mark.

McFarlin’s winning percentage is 78 over his 20year head coaching career with 194 total wins.

The Mount Pisgah and Fellowship Christian football programs began just one season apart, and since Fellowship Christian’s inaugural 2004 season, the two have met every year within their region schedules.

The Paladins held the early advantage in the series, winning four of the first five meetings.

However, Mount Pisgah went on a five-year winning streak from 2009-13 to hold the edge in the overall series. The Patriots’ win over Fellowship in 2013 allowed Mount Pisgah to advance to the region championship game, where they captured their only title in program history.

The two teams were evenly matched in the series under Fellowship head coach Al Morrell and Mount Pisgah head coach Mike Forester beginning in 2013. From 2013-20, Fellowship went 5-3 against the Patriots to take the series advantage.

Fellowship could look to extend its region win streak when the teams meet up again this October. The Paladins have not lost to a subregion/region opponent in a non-region title game scenario since Mount Pisgah downed them 45-37 in the 2017 season.

FORSYTH CENTRAL Forsyth Central and North Forsyth first met in 1996, and the intra-county foes have squared off most seasons since. Many of those contests have been in region play, and in recent years, the games have been tight affairs.

The more established Forsyth Central program won the first three games between the teams in the late '90s, including their first region matchup in 1998. The teams continued to play as region foes until the 2007 season.

The winner of the series won the region championship over their foes in 2000 and 2001. The Bulldogs took a 48-36 win in 2000 to secure its most recent region crown. North posted a 31-14 win in 2001 for its latest.

The 2001 game marked the beginning of a five-game win streak for North, which remains the longest winning streak in the series by either team.

Central won the 2006 and 2007 meetings to even the overall series.

The two teams met in 2012-13 in non-region play, with North taking both contests.

In 2016, the teams were placed in Region 5-7A and have continued to battle for postseason berths each season.

North Forsyth won the first two contests of the renewed region rivalry before Central knocked off the Raiders 24-20 in 2018, which helped pushed the Bulldogs back into the postseason for the first time in 17 seasons.

The last two meetings have been thrillers, with each decided by a single point.

In 2019, North won in double overtime, converting a two-point play in the second overtime period for a walk-off score.

Last season, the Bulldogs scored a go-ahead touchdown with three minutes remaining and blocked a North PAT in the final minute to secure its 28-27 win.

Head coach: David Rooney A new but familiar face will lead Forsyth Central for the 2021 season. David Rooney was named the Bulldogs’ 22nd head coach earlier this year.

Rooney joined Forsyth Central in the 2018 season as the program’s defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach and has served in those roles for the past three seasons.

Prior to joining Central, Rooney had an 11-year stint with West Forsyth as the team’s defensive coordinator after serving on two coaching staffs at Florida high schools.

Rooney played collegiately at Boston College and graduated in 1989.

Forsyth Central’s football program is the oldest in Forsyth County, dating back to its first full season in 1955. At the time and until 1989, Central was the county’s only high school and was dubbed Forsyth County High School.

The Bulldogs won their first game in 1956 and notched the program’s first winning record in 1964.

The program’s success was mostly limited during its first three decades of competition, but the Bulldogs compiled their first consecutive winning years in 1984 and 1985, including an 8-1-1 mark.

The team had just two more winning seasons over the next decade, but under head coach Bob Herndon, who led the program from 1994-2001, the Bulldogs rose in prominence.

The team won its first region championship and made its first postseason appearance in 1996, finishing the season with a 9-2 overall record. The program bested that mark with a 10-2 record, its second region title and first playoff win, in 1997.

From 1998 to 2001, Central won another 27 games with its third region crown (2000) and three postseason berths.

From 2002 to 2005, the Bulldogs won just 7 games under two head coaches before Chris Bennett took over. Bennett led the program until 2012, compiling a 20-50 record.

Shane Williamson led the team for three seasons (2012-15) with a 12-18 mark.

The Bulldogs were under the direction of Frank Hepler from 2016-2020.

After a winless 2017 season, the Bulldogs had an impressive turnaround to compile a 7-4 mark in 2018 and reach the playoffs for the first time since 2001.

Over the last two years, the Bulldogs have gone 8-9.

Chattahoochee took the first two games against the newly formed Gladiators, including a 1916 overtime win in 2011 that denied Johns Creek its first region championship.

The Gladiators earned their first win in the series in 2012, but Hooch took the next two meetings.

Johns Creek earned the next two wins of the series in 2015 and 2016, but Hooch ended the streak with a 38-31 win in 2017.

Johns Creek earned two lopsided wins in 2018 and 2019 to help propel the Gladiators to two straight region titles. The 2018 win also evened the series at 5-5 overall.

Last season, the Gladiators earned another win over their crosstown rivals for a three-game streak, the longest in the series, which also earned Johns Creek its first overall lead in series wins.

Head coach: Matt Helmerich

Johns Creek’s football program played its inaugural season in 2009 and began a full varsity schedule the next year under head coach Mike Cloy, who also served as the first head coach for Centennial.

In just their second full season, the Gladiators posted a 9-1 regular season and lost the region championship on a tiebreaker with Chattahoochee. Johns Creek also made its first playoff appearance that year.

After another winning season and playoff berth in 2012, Johns Creek won just a single game in the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

In 2015, former Pope head coach Matt Kemper took over and led Johns Creek to a 4-6 record. In 2016, the Gladiators captured their first region championship and reached the playoffs for the first time in four seasons. They finished their 2016 campaign with an 8-3 overall record.

After Kemper left to take over at Roswell, Matt Helmerich led the Gladiators to a 3-7 record in 2017.

The Gladiators took a large step forward in 2018, compiling a 9-1 regular season record with their only loss to nationally ranked St. John’s Prep of Washington, D.C. Johns Creek also captured the program’s second Region 7-AAAAAA title with an 8-0 mark against region opponents.

The Gladiators continued their undefeated region streak throughout the 2019 season, winning the program’s third region crown in four seasons. That year, the team also won its first playoff game and reached 10 wins in a season for the first time (10-2).

The team is coming off a 4-5 campaign in 2020 in which the team reached the playoffs for the third straight year.

Matt Helmerich, Johns Creek’s third head football coach, will lead the Gladiators for his fifth season in 2021.

Helmerich cut his teeth with national powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas in Florida, spending six seasons as defensive coordinator.

With Aquinas, Helmerich won four Florida state championships.

He took his first head coach job with Fort Pierce Central in 2016 before joining the Gladiators in 2017.

Class-A Private

K I NG’S RI D G E T E AM H IS T OR Y King’s Ridge began its football program in 2008 and is still searching for its first winning season.

After running a limited varsity schedule in 2008-09 under then head coach Jeff Pickren, the Tigers were placed into Region 5-A of the GHSA and compiled three straight 5-5 seasons.

In 2013, the team went 4-6, but won just two games over the next two seasons.

Jimmy Chupp took over the team in 2016.

In his two seasons at the helm, the Tigers went 6-14.

Pickren returned in 2018 for a two-year stint with the team finishing 1-9 in each season.

Terry Crowder became the program’s third head coach in 2020. King’s Ridge compiled a 3-5 record last year with the program’s first appearance in the state playoffs.

Head coach: Terry Crowder Terry Crowder returns for his second season leading the Tigers.

Crowder has been a head coach staple in North Metro Atlanta high school football over the past 20 years.

Crowder’s head coaching career began at Chattahoochee in 2004, where he led the Cougars to a 60-40 overall record with two region titles and the program’s only state championship in 2010.

He took over the Creekview program in 2013 and mounted three playoff appearances in six seasons with a 31-22 record.

Crowder then began the Denmark program in Forsyth County in 2018 and led the young team to a strong start. The Danes went 5-5 in their inaugural season under Crowder and compiled a 7-3 mark in 2019 with a state playoff berth.

He took over at King’s Ridge ahead of the 2020 season. Last year, the Tigers went 3-5 and made history with the program’s first playoff appearance.

SERIES RECORD: King’s Ridge 6-5 NUMBER OF REGION GAMES IN SERIES: 7

King’s Ridge and St. Francis have squared off each season since the Tigers began competing in a full varsity schedule in 2010.

Though the series has lacked close games, in recent years the North Fulton neighbors separated by a stone’s throw have duked it out in region play.

The first four meetings were all lopsided wins

by King’s Ridge, but St. Francis ended that streak when the teams first began playing as region opponents in 2014.

From 2014 to 2019, St. Francis owned the series with five wins in six seasons to tie the overall series at 5-5. King’s Ridge reclaimed its lead atop the overall series with a 35-0 win in the team’s final regular season game. The win clinched the Tigers’ first appearance in the state playoffs.

L AM BE RT Head coach: Tommy Watson Tommy Watson will lead the Longhorns for his second season in 2021.

Watson is a graduate of Mississippi State, where he was named a preseason All-SEC selection is his senior year. He later signed a free agency contract with the Tennessee Titans.

Watson’s coaching career began at his alma mater, Upson-Lee, where he served as an offensive line and defensive line coach before taking over as offensive coordinator.

In 2008, Watson was named the head coach at Upson-Lee. In six seasons, he compiled a 23-38 record.

From 2015-19, Watson served as the special teams coordinator and as a position coach at South Georgia powerhouse Lowndes. During his tenure, Lowndes compiled a 51-14 record and reached the 2019 Class 7A state finals.

Watson took over at Lambert last year and led the Longhorns out of a slump of three losing seasons. The Longhorns went 5-5 in 2020.

S CH ED U LE

CLAS S

Lambert’s football program began in 2009 with the opening of the school, and the team has been a steady contender in region championship races since.

The Longhorns played just four games in 2009, all against programs also in their inaugural season, under head coach Sid Maxwell, who led the program through the 2013 season.

In 2010 the Longhorns played their first full varsity schedule and immediately found success with an 8-3 overall record and a trip to the playoffs. The Longhorns matched that record their next season.

Lambert missed out on the playoffs in 2012 but returned to the postseason in 2013, Maxwell’s final year.

Louis Daniel was named head coach in 2014, and the Longhorns posted a 7-4 record in his first season at the helm. The Longhorns made their third straight playoff appearance in 2015, but again exited in the first-round.

After falling just short of region titles in multiple seasons, Lambert finally clinched a championship trophy in 2016 after a region realignment placed all of Forsyth County’s public schools into Region 5-AAAAAAA. The program’s playoff jinx also ended that season with the Longhorns beating Central Gwinnett in the first round.

Since the 2016 season, however, the Longhorns have been on a skid. After compiling seven winning seasons in its first eight years, the program went on a 6-24 slump from 2017-19 and failed to reach the playoffs.

Tommy Watson was named the program’s third head coach last year. The team got off to an auspicious start under Watson, winning their first four games, but the Longhorns dropped five of their six region games to go 5-5 on the season and miss out on a playoff berth for the fourth straight year.

2021 RIVALRY SERIES

RIVALRIES: Lambert vs. South Forsyth

Lambert opened its doors in 2009 to alleviate overcrowding at South Forsyth, and it led to many future War Eagles donning Lambert’s colors instead. Since the Longhorns’ first full schedule in 2010, the crosstown rivals have met every year, with the winner taking the region championship in several seasons.

The newly formed Lambert program earned wins in the first three matchups between the teams.

In 2013, South Forsyth won its first game of the series, 21-14.

Lambert was back on top the next season in what proved a crucial win to earn the No. 2 seed over the War Eagles for the state playoffs.

In 2015, South Forsyth was seeking its first region title in 18 seasons while the Longhorns were chasing their first. It all came down to the winner of their face-off in the final week of the regular season. With the Region 6-AAAAAA title on the line, South earned the title with a 31-6 win.

It was a similar storyline for 2016 with the newly formed Region 5-AAAAAAA title coming down to the War Eagles and Longhorns. Lambert won that year’s meeting 28-20, and because both teams finished with 4-1 region records, it proved to be the difference for the Longhorns’ first region title.

Since 2017, South Forsyth has been on a roll in the series, winning the last four contests by considerable margins.

MI LTON TEAM HISTORY Milton enters its 73rd season this year, tied with Roswell as the longest running football program in North Fulton. While the program has had some successes over its seven-decade history, its best seasons have come in the past few years.

The Eagles played their first full season in 1951 under head coach Gus Letchas, who led the program for its first 16 seasons. In their second full season, the Eagles went 10-0 in the regular season and captured their first region title.

Milton reeled off four more consecutive winning seasons but hovered around .500 until 1962. Over the next four seasons, Lutchas’ last years at the helm, the Eagles won just five games.

Mike Anderson was named the program’s second head coach in 1966, but Milton had just one winning season in his eight-year tenure.

Jim Burson led the Eagles from 19741985, compiling a 54-64-3 record, including a 9-2 record in 1980 which saw the Eagles fall just short of its first region title in 28 years. The Eagles struggled over the next eight seasons, including three straight winless years from 1984-86.

Milton turned things around beginning in 1989 with five winning seasons over six years, including playoff appearances from 1992-94.

Peter Paul, who led the Eagles for 11 seasons, was replaced by Ronnie Jackson in 1998. The Eagles went 22-19

during Jackson’s tenure.

After failing to compile a winning record for the 11th straight season, Milton went 6-4 under Scott Walker in 2007 and reached the postseason for the first time in nine seasons a year later.

Howie DeCristofaro took over the program in 2011. After going 4-6 in his first year, the Eagles won 24 games from 2012-14, including a then program-best 11-2 in 2014. The Eagles also won their second region title that year and made their first run to the quarterfinals of the state playoffs. Under DeCristofaro, the Eagles were 9-12 in the next two seasons before Adam Clack was named the program’s 10th head coach ahead of the 2017 season.

The Eagles went 9-3 in their first campaign under Clack before their historic 2018 campaign.

Milton won the program’s third region title last season with a 5-0 mark in 5-AAAAAAA. In the playoffs, the Eagles reached the semifinals for the first time in program history (without earning an automatic bid) and beat Lowndes to reach the state finals. Milton then completed its incredible season, taking down No. 1 ranked Colquitt County for the Eagles’ first state championship.

Milton won its second straight region title in 2019 with an 8-4 overall record and second-round playoff berth, and bested that mark last year with an 11-1 record, third straight region championship and reached the playoff quarterfinals.

Head coach: Adam Clack Adam Clack, Milton’s winningest coach by win percentage, will return to lead the Eagles for his sixth year in 2021.

Prior to his time at Milton, Clack was instrumental in getting the West Forsyth program running in 2007. The Wolverines posted three straight winning seasons, and in 2011, Clack was named offensive coordinator.

Under Clack, the Wolverines offense continued their streak of winning seasons, including the 2012 region championship.

In 2014 Clack was promoted in the West program to head coach. He spent three years at the helm, guiding the Wolverines to two playoff appearances and a 20-12 record.

Following the 2016 season, Clack joined Milton and has led the team’s rise in recent years.

The Eagles posted one of their winningest seasons in program history (9-3) and reached the second round of the state playoffs in his first year.

His second season at the helm, 2018, proved to be the best in school history.

The program won its third region title in program history and compiled an historic 13-2 run to capture the Class 7A state championship, the team’s first state title in its first season advancing beyond the quarterfinals of the playoffs.

The team has continued much of that success since under Clack. Over the last two seasons, Milton is 19-5 and has won two more region championships and won three playoff games.

2 0 21 R I VA L R Y S E RI E S No other rivalry in North Fulton/Forsyth County can compare to the length, history and the sheer amount of “love to hate” sentiment between Roswell and Milton. The series was suspended at one point due to the animosity.

Both programs began in 1950 and have met 66 times since, making the rivalry one of the most contested in the state.

Milton dominated the series in the early going, winning the first 12 games after the programs began full seasons in 1951.

The series was suspended following Milton’s 14-0 win in 1963, but the two programs met again in 1970 after both had been placed in Region 5-A. When the series resumed, Roswell put together a win streak of their own, winning the next five contests.

The Eagles won five of the next seven meetings, but Roswell would dominate the series over the next decade, winning every meeting from 1983-1995. The Hornets went on another streak over their rivals from 2001-2007.

However, the Eagles captured three wins from 2011-13, and fell just short of a fourth-straight when Roswell scored in the final minute of their 2014 meeting. Roswell dominated the next two matchups, but Milton earned a lopsided, 40-7 victory at Ray Manus Stadium in 2017.

The 2018 matchup featured the first time the teams had squared off with undefeated records in a non-regular season opening game since 1993. In another series thriller, Roswell mounted a second-half comeback and scored a touchdown with five seconds remaining to take a dramatic 22-20 win.

The series has been tightly contested since. In 2019, Milton earned a dramatic 16-12 win over the Hornets, intercepting a pass in the final minutes to quell a Roswell comeback.

Last year, the two teams squared off for the first time since 2015 with region title implications after the programs were placed in Region 5-7A. In another one-score affair, Milton captured its third win in the last four meetings, 20-14.

MOUNT PISGAH

2 0 21 R I VALRY SE RI E S Mount Pisgah and Fellowship Christian will continue their longstanding region rivalry this year with the two teams facing off for the 18th straight season. The series has produced several games deciding the region title, especially in recent years.

The two teams first met at the infancy of both programs in 2004.

Fellowship Christian held the early edge, winning four of the first five contests, including the 2007 matchup which launched Fellowship on to its first region championship.

Mount Pisgah reversed its fortunes beginning in 2009 and won the next five games in the series, including a 50-14 win over the Paladins that helped them secure their only region title.

Three close contests were played between the rivals from 2014-16.

Fellowship edged the Patriots in 2014 by a single score, and in 2015, Mount Pisgah flipped the script with a close, 20-17 win.

Fellowship began its latest run in the series in 2018 and has won the last three contests over Mount Pisgah by wide margins. Fellowship’s current three-game win streak in the series ties their longest run against Mount Pisgah.

Head coach: Ryan Livezey After an eight-year stint under coach Mike Forester, Mount Pisgah will be under new direction in 2021. Mount Pisgah athletic director Ryan Livezey has been tapped to lead the Patriots in 2021, bringing extensive coaching experience and in-depth knowledge of the program to his new role.

Forester will remain on the football coaching staff as the defensive coordinator.

Livezey has spent over 25 years coaching in Georgia following his playing days at Furman University, where he was a three-time AllConference player.

After serving on the coaching staffs at Winder-Barrow and Marist, Livezey became the first head coach for Holy Innocents’ in 2006. In his 11-year stint as head coach, Livezey led Holy Innocents’ to a 6756 overall record with a region championship with eight playoff appearances.

Livezey joined the Patriots program following the 2016 season and has served as offensive coordinator and athletic director since joining the school.

TEAM HISTORY Mount Pisgah’s program began in 2003 with a full varsity schedule as an independent school. In three years as a member of the Georgia Independent School Association, the Patriots went 8-26.

The program moved to GHSA play in 2006 in their final season under Jeff Pickren.

Dough Dixon led the team for six seasons from 2007-12, posting a 32-29 record, including the program’s first GHSA playoff berth in 2012.

Mike Forester began his eight-year head coaching stint in 2013, and the team got off to a hot start under his direction. That year, the Patriots compiled a 12-1 overall record, their best season in program history, and reached the semifinals of the state playoffs.

The team continued to rise in prominence in the years following. In 2014, the team reached the quarterfinals of the state playoffs with an eight-win season. From 2015-17, the program won 20 games and reached the playoffs each year, capping a sixyear run of playoff berths.

After two straight 3-7 seasons in 2018-19, the Patriots rebounded to go 6-5 last year and reach the playoffs for the seventh time in nine seasons.

NOR THV I E W 20 21 R I VALRY S E RI E S With Northview moving down from Class 6A to 5A ahead of the 2020 season, the program has yet to solidify any new rivalries in its region.

Its former North Fulton foes remain in 6A. However, Northview has kept its cross-town rival Chattahoochee on the schedule, continuing a backyard brawl that has its roots with the

infancy of the Titans’ program.

The two teams first met in 2002, Northview’s first year as a program.

They split the first four meetings from 2002-05 ahead of the Cougars’ four-game win streak from 2006-09, the longest streak of either team during the series.

Since then, the series has been marked by back-and-forth play.

Northview took two wins in 2014-15 to aid their playoff runs those seasons, but Hooch took the 2016 and 2017 matchups.

After Hooch won the next two meetings, Northview won 45-31 and 4235 in 2018 and 2019, the final meetings of the two programs in region play. Northview’s 2019 win proved crucial to the team returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2015.

The Titans will look to end the series streak of each team winning two games consecutively since 2014 this season after Chattahoochee won 56-39 last year.

Northview became the second high school football program in Johns Creek in 2002.

The Titans were led by head coach Don Savage, who guided the program from 2002 to 2007. Under his tenure, the new team posted a 17-43 record.

After just two wins in two seasons under Jim Showfety in 2008-09, the program was led by its longest-tenured coach, Chad Davenport, from 2010-16.

After three more losing seasons, the Titans posted a 5-5 record in 2013 and continued to improve over the next two years.

In 2014, the team posted a 7-4 record, its best in program history, and reached the playoffs for the first time.

Northview reached the playoffs again in 2015, compiling a 6-5 overall mark, before dropping to 2-8 during the 2016 season, Davenport’s final year.

James Thomson was named the program’s fourth head coach in 2017. After a second straight 2-8 mark in 2017, the Titans rebounded to go 5-5 in 2018. In 2019, the program reached the playoffs for the third time and went 6-5 overall.

The Titans enter the 2021 season after compiling a 2-7 record last year.

Head coach: Scott Schwarzer The 2021 season will mark the debut of a new era at Northview as Scott Schwarzer takes over as the football program’s fifth head coach.

Schwarzer most recently served as head coach at Chamblee, where last year he led the team to its first winning season since 2013.

Schwarzer, a Johns Creek native, took over the Chamblee program in 2019, leading the team to a 1-8 record that year, the program’s sixth straight season with two or fewer wins. However, the team righted the ship in the tumultuous 2020 season, going 5-1 overall with a limited schedule.

He also led the Windsor Forest program for two years, 2013-14, but the team failed to win a game (0-20) during his tenure.

Head coach: Shawn Coury Shawn Coury will lead Pinecrest Academy for his second season in 2021 in his second stint coaching at the school.

Coury served on Pinecrest’s coaching staff from 2007 to 2011, in which the Paladins won two Georgia Independent School Association region titles and made three straight playoff appearances before joining the GHSA in 2010.

Coury remained at Pinecrest until 2016 before leading GISA program Holy Spirit Prep for two seasons, compiling a 4-16 overall record. He also served as an assistant coach at Cherokee High School in 2019.

Coury rejoined Pinecrest ahead of the tumultuous 2020 season and led the team to its first state title. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Pinecrest left the GHSA to compete in the Georgia Association of Private & Parochial Schools 8-man football league. In Coury’s first season, the Paladins went 9-2 and captured their first state championship in Division II of the GAAPS 8-man league.

SCH EDUL E

NO.

Pinecrest Academy’s football program was founded in 2004 and has observed success in all three leagues in which the Paladins have competed.

After winning just five games over their first two seasons, the Paladins became one of the top teams in the Georgia Independent School Association. From 2006 to 2009, under the program’s first head coach, Charles Wiggins, Pinecrest compiled 34 wins in four seasons with two region championships and three playoff appearances, including berths in the quarterfinals and semifinals of the GISA playoffs.

Wiggins led the program through its transition into the Georgia High School Association in 2010 and 2011. He compiled a 45-44-1 record during his eight-seasons with the program.

Todd Winter took over the Paladins in 2012.

After two five-win seasons, Pinecrest earned its first GHSA playoff appearance in 2014 with a 7-4 overall record.

The team bested that mark in 2015, going 10-2 overall, capturing the program’s only GHSA region title and reaching the state playoff quarterfinals.

Winter led the team for his sixth and final season in 2016. Pinecrest went 8-4 and reached the second round of the postseason that year.

Former NFL Pro Bowl wide receiver Terence Mathis was named the program’s third head coach for the 2017 season. Mathis played in the NFL from 1990-2003, including eight seasons with the Atlanta Falcons.

Mathis compiled a 7-23 record from 2017-19.

Shawn Coury returned to Pinecrest to lead the team in 2020. With the COVID-19 pandemic and a limited roster, the Paladins left the GHSA to compete in 8-man football in the Georgia Association of Private & Parochial Schools League.

The move proved fruitful with Pinecrest going 9-2 last season and capturing the Division II state championship.

The team returns to 11-man football this season and will play GAPPS and GHSA teams.

20 21 R I VA L R Y SERI E S No other rivalry in North Fulton/Forsyth County can compare to the length, history and the sheer amount of “love to hate” sentiment between Roswell and Milton. The series was suspended at one point due to the animosity.

Both programs began in 1950 and have met 66 times since, making the rivalry one of the most contested in the state.

Milton dominated the series in the early going, winning the first 12 games after the programs began full seasons in 1951.

The series was suspended following Milton’s 14-0 win in 1963, but the two met again in 1970 after both had been placed in Region 5-A. When the series resumed, Roswell put together a win streak of their own, winning the next five contests.

The Eagles won five of the next seven meetings, but Roswell would dominate the series over the next decade, winning every meeting from 1983-1995. The Hornets went on another streak over their rivals from 2001-2007.

However, the Eagles captured three wins from 2011-13, and fell just short of a fourth-straight when Roswell scored in the final minute of their 2014 meeting. Roswell dominated the next two matchups, but Milton earned a lopsided, 40-7 victory at Ray Manus Stadium in 2017.

The 2018 matchup featured the first time the teams had squared off with undefeated records in a non-regular season opening game since 1993. In another series thriller, Roswell mounted a second-half comeback and scored a touchdown with five seconds remaining to take a dramatic 22-20 win.

The series has been tightly contested since. In 2019, Milton earned a dramatic 16-12 win over the Hornets, intercepting a pass in the final minutes to quell a Roswell comeback.

Last year, the two teams squared off for the first time since 2015 with region title implications after the programs were placed in Region 5-7A. In another one-score affair, Milton captured its third win the last four meetings of the teams, 20-14.

T E A M H I S T O RY Roswell’s program dates back to 1950 and is historically the most successful in North Fulton with more than a dozen region titles and three state championships.

The Hornets played their first full season in 1951, winning 12 games in their first four campaigns. In 1956, the Hornets found their stride and reached the state finals under Bill Yost who led the Hornets to a 25-34-2 record from 1954-59.

Ray Sheppard took over in 1960. Under his direction, the Hornets won 49 games in seven seasons.

Charlie Horne led the Hornets beginning in 1967 and had a fantastic run during his eightyear tenure. Roswell captured the 1968 and 1970 state championship and three region titles in a four-year span. Under Horne’s direction, the Hornets went 73-18 overall.

In 1975 Ray Manus was tapped to lead the Hornets, a position he held for 23 seasons while compiling a 141-102-1 record. Roswell’s stadium is named in his honor.

After finishing the ’70s with just one winning season, the Hornets went 9-3 in 1981 and reached the postseason for the first time in eight seasons. The Hornets captured their fifth region title in 1985, beginning a five-year streak of winning records. Roswell won another region title

Head coach: Chris Prewett

in 1993 and 30 games in Manus’ final five seasons at the helm.

Tim McFarlin took over the program in 1998 and led the Hornets to a region title in his third season. Roswell won 39 games and another region championship from 2001-05.

In 2006, the Hornets earned a share of the state title after tying with Peachtree Ridge in the state finals. McFarlin led the Hornets until 2008, compiling an 82-34-1 record.

Roswell had two winning seasons and two playoff appearances under Leo Barker from 2008-2010 before a number of lean years.

The Hornets won just seven games over the next three seasons.

Roswell’s resurgence that continues today began under head coach John Ford, who began his tenure with the school in 2013.

Following an 8-4 campaign in 2014, the Hornets went 28-2 over the next two seasons, winning two region titles with their only losses coming in the state finals.

Matt Kemper took over the program in 2017. After a 3-8 debut season, the Hornets bounced back and went 9-2 and 8-3 in 2018 and 2019, wining two region titles and making the playoffs each year.

The team began its new era under Chris Prewett last year and posted an 8-3 record with a playoff win.

Chris Prewett will lead Roswell as head coach for his second season in 2021. He is the program’s 13th head coach.

Prewett took over the program in 2020 after a serving as the Hornets’ defensive coordinator beginning in 2017 under former head coach Matt Kemper.

Prewett previously served as defensive coordinator under Kemper, now the head coach at Etowah, at Johns Creek after a stint on Kemper’s coaching staff at Pope.

With Prewett as defensive coordinator, the Hornets earned three playoff berths and won 20 games in three seasons, including the 2019 season in which his defense allowed just 131 points in 11 games. Roswell captured the Region 4-7A title in 2018 and 2019.

Prewett continued Roswell’s recent success last season, leading the team to an 8-3 overall record and a trip to the second round of the state playoffs.

Prewett is a graduate of Houston County High School and played football at LaGrange College.

Head coach: Troy Morris

South Forsyth became Forsyth County’s second football program in 1989.

Under then head coach Charlie Cryer, the War Eagles went 31-17-1 in their opening seven seasons in Class 2A. Norris Vaughan took over the program in 1996 when South compiled its second winning season with a 7-3-1 record and reached the playoffs.

In 1997, South won its first region championship and finished the season at 8-3.

South continued to roll in 1998, posting a 9-3 mark and winning their first playoff game. The War Eagles had three more winning seasons under Vaughan, including a trip to the state quarterfinals in 2001.

Greg Slattery served as head coach from 2004-07, leading South to a 17-24 record.

After just four combined wins under Wendell Early in the 2008 and 2009 campaigns, Jeff Arnette, the program’s winningest coach, took over.

South won 17 games in Arnette’s first three seasons and went 7-3 in 2013 and 6-4 in 2014.

South had its winningest year in 2015, posting an 11-2 record and capturing their first region title since 1997. After a 7-4 campaign in 2016, South again finished atop the region standings in 2017.

In 2018, South failed to have a winning season for the first time in five seasons, but the program continued its streak of reaching the postseason.

Over the past two years, the program has gone 11-9 and has extended its playoff berth streak to seven seasons.

South Forsyth will be under new but familiar leadership in 2021. Troy Morris, a longtime assistant for the War Eagles, was named its sixth head coach earlier this year.

Morris’ head coaching career began in 2007 at Social Circle, where he led the program for three seasons.

Under his direction, Social Circle went 12-20 and earned three playoff appearances.

He joined South in 2010 and has held several coaching positions, including the quarterbacks coach, offensive coordinator and assistant head coach, all under former head coach Jeff Arnette.

Arnette announced his retirement after the 2020 season, having led the program for 11 years alongside Morris. South went 68-50 with two region titles and seven playoff appearances under their direction.

2021 RIVALRY SERIES Lambert opened in 2009 to alleviate overcrowding at South Forsyth. The move led to many future War Eagles to don Lambert’s colors instead. Since the Longhorns’ first full schedule in 2010, the crosstown rivals have met every year, with the winner taking the region

championship in several seasons.

Lambert earned the early edge in the series, but South has since gone on a four-game win streak to take the overall lead.

Lambert earned wins in the first three matchups, before 2013 when South Forsyth won its first game, 21-14.

Lambert was back on top the next season in what proved a crucial win to earn the No. 2 seed in the state playoffs.

In 2015, South Forsyth was seeking its first region title in 18 seasons while the Longhorns were chasing their first, and it all came down to the winner of their rivalry series in the final week of the regular season. With the Region 6-AAAAAA title on the line, South posted a 31-6 win.

It was a similar storyline for 2016 with the newly formed Region 5-AAAAAAA title coming down to the War Eagles and Longhorns.

Lambert won that year’s meeting 28-20, and with both teams finishing with 4-1 region records, it proved the difference for the Longhorns’ first region title.

South Forsyth dominated the 2017 meeting, 38-0, on their way to a second region championship in three years.

South’s 2017 win marked the beginning of their current streak.

Amid a downturn of the Lambert program, the War Eagles have won the last four meetings by at least 17 points.

ST. FRANCIS 20 21 R I VA LRY SERIES King’s Ridge and St. Francis have squared off each season since the Knights’ program was founded in 2010 alongside their neighbors. Though the series has lacked close games, in recent years the North Fulton neighbors separated by a stone’s throw have duked it out in region play.

The first four meetings were all lopsided wins by King’s Ridge, but St. Francis ended that streak when the teams first began playing as region opponents in 2014.

From 2014 to 2019, St. Francis owned the series with five wins in six seasons to tie the overall series at 5-5. King’s Ridge reclaimed its lead in the series with a 35-0 win in the team’s final regular season game. The win clinched the Tigers’ first appearance in the state playoffs.

TE A M H I STO RY St. Francis began its first season in the GHSA in 2010 but did not complete a full varsity schedule until 2012.

The program joined its current region, 6-A Private, in 2012 with a 4-6 record under first-year head coach Brennan Booth.

In 2013, the program had its winningest season, compiling an 8-2 record. Despite the strong regular season record, the Knights were shut out of the postseason.

Booth led the team to 10 wins over the next two seasons before Tim Mathis took over as head coach in 2016.

St. Francis went 6-14 under Mathis in 2016-17.

Current head coach Frank Barden led the program beginning in 2018.

That year, St. Francis went 5-5 to avoid a fourth-straight losing season.

The 2019 squad went 7-5 overall and earned the program’s first playoff berth. The team also knocked off Trinity Christian in the first round of the playoffs to earn its first postseason win.

After losing much of the talent that propelled the 2019 team, St. Francis went 1-8 last season.

Head coach: Frank Barden One of the state’s most experienced head coaches, Frank Barden, returns for his fourth year with St. Francis.

Barden has held a head coach position in the state since 1994 and has led his teams to 202 combined wins, seven region championships and a state title.

After leading Pickens for two seasons, Barden took the head coach position at Cartersville and spent the next 18 seasons leading the Canes. Cartersville captured seven region titles and the 1999 state championship under Barden and made the playoffs 11 times.

In 2014 Barden took over at Stephens County, posting a 29-15 overall record and three playoff appearances in four seasons.

Barden joined St. Francis in 2018 and has led the team to a 13-18 record in three seasons, including the program’s only state playoff berth in 2019.

The script flipped for the next two meetings. South Forsyth earned its first win in the rivalry in 2016, posting a 21-17 victory that earned the War Eagles the No. 2 seed over West in the postseason. South also took the 2017 meeting, downing West in the regular season finale to earn its second region title in three years.

After West won the 2018 matchup, South took a 14-10 win in 2019 in the regular season finale to leapfrog the Wolverines in the region standings.

Last season, the two teams needed overtime for the first time in the series to decide the winner of their ninth matchup. West Forsyth prevailed, 41-34, for a win that helped the Wolverines secure their region championship.

Head coach: Dave Svehla West Forsyth’s fourth head coach, Dave Svehla, will lead the Wolverines for his second season in 2021.

Svehla’s coaching career began in the Midwest where he spent over a decade coaching at three schools in Nebraska and Illinois.

In 2012, he began his eight-year stint as head coach of Etowah, where he is the winningest coach in the program’s 45-year history.

Etowah earned 49 wins under Svehla and reached the playoffs in seven of his eight seasons at the helm. In 2014, the team earned its first 10-plus win season (11-3) and made its deepest playoff run in program history, reaching the semifinals of the Class 6A playoffs.

TE A M H I STO RY West Forsyth completed its inaugural season in 2007 playing a limited schedule. After their opening year, the Wolverines found immediate success playing a full slate of games under then head coach Frank Hepler, who led the program for its first seven seasons.

The Wolverines posted an 8-2 record in their first full season, the beginning of a streak of 10-straight winning years.

The program reached the playoffs for the first time in 2011 with an 11-2 mark, a record for most wins in a season and deepest playoff run (quarterfinals).

In 2012, the team captured its first region championship and put together another double-digit winning season (10-2).

The Wolverines made their fourth straight playoff appearance in 2013, Hepler’s last season as head coach.

In 2014, Adam Clack took over and led the team to a 2012 record over three seasons with two playoff berths.

Shawn Cahill became West’s third head coach in 2017.

The Wolverines went 13-10 in Cahill’s first two years with two playoff berths and a postseason win. In 2019, the program went 4-6, its first losing season.

Dave Svehla was named head coach in 2020 and led the team to one its best seasons.

Last year, West posted a 9-4 record, won its first region title since 2012 and reached the quarterfinals of the state playoffs.
