The Skinny
Geoff Cannon begins his second season as the Head Coach for the Brantley County Herons. Coach Cannon will be looking to continue the rebuilding process at Brantley County. Despite their record the Herons were only one region win away from qualifying for the state playoffs last season. Coach Cannon returns some pieces to build off of in the 2019 season.
Quarterback Bradson Bowers will be back for his senior season. Bowers passed for over 1,200 yards in 2018 and 7-TDs. Gavin King will return to the backfield as well for the Herons. King led the team in rushing during his sophomore season. All Region selection Jessie Trent should be one of the top receivers again this year for Brantley County.
Meanwhile on defense, linemen Anthonie Lattany and Blaine Brantley will lead the way for the Herons. Last season both Lattany and Brantley were All-Region selections. Lattany’s recruitment has picked up this off-season as well. The Herons secondary will be led by another All-Region selection, Dawson Thomas.
We asked Coach Cannon how the Herons will define success in 2019.
He replied, “Win more than we did last year and make the playoffs.”
