Football

Terry Crowder Head Football Coach

We had a tough season plagued by many injuries, but our boys fought hard during each game. This team has a strong brotherhood; they played their hearts out for each other and God. With several seniors sidelined by injuries, many of our underclassmen became starting players. We watched them face adversity and grow confident as they tackled each challenge head-on. While we will miss our eight seniors next year, our younger players are more than ready to start strong next season!

Trent Arthur, Pat Sullivan, and Jeremy Scott

Middle School Football Coaches

Over 70 players participated in the Middle School football program, which was a huge success. For the first time, we had students from outside KRCS play for us, which allowed us to field stand-alone teams for grades 6th, 7th, and 8th. All three teams had winning seasons, and the 6th grade went undefeated.

Purple Team Coaches

We are very proud of the young men on the 4 th/5 th grade Flag Football Purple Team! With both Lower and Middle School students participating, this team became a great way for 4 th graders to form friendships that will help them transition to Middle School next year.

Michael Greiner

Jr. Tigers 2 nd/3 rd Flag Football Coach

Our boys became great football players this season because of all their hard work, making them a TEAM. Nothing can describe how rewarding it was to see each of them become legitimate football players and great teammates and take on some skills that will make them better men in the future.

Jr. Tigers K/1 st Flag Football Coaches

We could not be more proud of the K/1 st team and our season. The boys worked hard at summer football camp and experienced a seven-overtime playoff game battle. It was rewarding to see their progression throughout the season.

Cheerleading

Kaile Carroll and Katie Layton

Head Cheerleading Coaches

The 2022 cheer season was filled with challenges, exciting accomplishments, and team building. We started the season this summer by serving our Jr. Tigers at Mini-Cheer Camp and learning new cheers and dances at Varsity Camp.

Brenda Bowman and Pamm Ferrand

Middle School 7 th /8 th Cheerleading Coaches

This cheer season was an absolute knockout, with 16 girls participating in cheering for the 7 th and 8 th grade feeder football teams. Their season started with a summer camp at Georgia College in Milledgeville, where they stood their ground as the only Middle School squad competing and cheering with other High School squads. This quickly accelerated the team’s ability to do High School-level stunts and pyramids, making them a huge hit at their games and pep rallies.

Mary Beecham and Mary Hannah Skelton Middle School 5 th /6 th Cheerleading Coaches

It was an honor and a pleasure to watch the growth of the 5 th and 6 th grade Cheer team this year. We were amazed by their commitment to being the best team, and they represented our school so positively. The future of KRCS Middle School Cheer is bright!

Jr. Tigers Head Cheerleading Coach

The Jr. Tiger cheerleaders had a record-breaking season with 84 cheerleaders, comprising six squads! These enthusiastic girls began their season with a wonderful Cheer Camp taught by our Varsity cheerleaders, where they learned cheers, dances, jumps, and stunts. Each week, a dedicated team of 22 volunteer parent coaches led the practice to build upon the skills the girls learned at camp. Jr. Tiger Cheer would like to extend a huge thank you to Varsity and 7 th/8 th grade Cheer.

Cross Country

Karen Coleman

Head Cross Country Coach

We had a full Varsity and JV squad for the boys and our largest girls’ team to date. Five seniors completed their fourth Varsity season with lots of new faces. The time and miles these athletes put in were reflected in very competitive races and quick race times. This year brought a new regional alignment, so despite our best performance at the region meet, we missed qualifying for state as a team by two points. However, Isaac Martin did qualify as an individual and placed 11 th at the GHSA State Meet.

Shelby Teut

Middle School Cross Country Coach

This year’s Middle School cross country team performed this season with great effort, heart, and success! Not only did we practice hard (rain or shine), but the athletes also competed vigorously. By the end of the season, each athlete had achieved their personal records – a goal given to them at the start of the season.

Many of our cross country athletes also participate in the KRCS Middle School Track & Field team, so we are already looking forward to February to start that season strong!

Softball

Tim Todd

Head Softball Coach

Our Varsity softball team had a great season and made the state playoffs for the first time in school history. Emerson Jackson and Annika Smith were standouts, being named First Team All-Region.

Crissy Watkins

Middle School Softball Coach

The team finished the season with a 14-8 record and a Metro 10 playoff appearance. Strong pitching and catching are essential, and our girls in these positions were up for every challenge. We introduced a feeder model this season, with outside players participating in our non-league games. This was a big success, which we plan to continue next year. Season highlights include a win over Wesleyan, an entertaining handshake challenge, a walk-off win over Mt. Vernon, and a win under the lights over Chamblee Middle School.
