2024 • SOUTH GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL are very physical and relentless and you need a good motor to play there . If the defensive line can create havoc , you ’ ve always got a chance .”
The linebacking corps , coached by Stan Luttrell , is deep as well with Ra ’ Quavian Kinsey , Bryce Toomer , Chance Sims , Brayden Ruis , Zach Palmore , Brad Tuff and Ty ’ Marian Grier bringing athleticism and toughness to the table .
“ They can run and they like to hit people ,” Calhoun said .
The secondary , under the direction of coaches Dextra Polite and Brian Simmons , includes Jah ’ Boris Fuller , Ry ’ Sheed Fuller , Dyi James , Roderick Carter , Alfonso McNeil , Lavarious Johnson , Josh Alford and Jermaine Ward .
The non-region portion of the 2024 schedule is somewhat new with only Lee County returning .
After the opener against West High ’ s Panthers , the Colquitt will play host to Monroe , North Gwinnett , Lee and Rickards High of Tallahassee .
All had winning records last season except Rickards , which was 3-7 .
Lee County reached the quarterfinals and finished 10-3 . North Gwinnett , a perennial contender in the state ’ s largest classification , was 8-4 .
The Packers will remain in the state ’ s highest classification although it will be Class 6A this year . Tift County has rejoined the region that had Camden County , Colquitt County , Lowndes , Valdosta and Richmond Hill the last two seasons .
Colquitt had continued to play Tift as a non-region opponent in 2022 and 2023 .
The primary difference this year will be that again , four region teams will qualify for the playoffs , meaning now two will stay home .
Calhoun said his team has a bunch of eager players who have been on the sidelines or playing in backup or special teams roles and who will get a chance for more Friday night exposure this year .
“ I know ‘ potential ’ can be a dangerous word ,” Calhoun said . “ But we believe our kids will rise to the occasion .
“ We think we have the coaches and the players to make this a memorable year .” n
