The Skinny
Coach Charles Hammon has led the Chattooga Indians into the post season in all of his 5 previous seasons at the Summerville School. We asked Coach Hammon about this season’s team and what’s the staff’s biggest challenge.
“Offensive line depth,” Hammon replied.
Dez Jones will anchor the offensive line for the Indians. Running behind Jones will be sophomore Shawn Lester. Last year, Lester rushed for 1,015 yards and 15-TDs as a freshman and garnered an All-Region selection. We expect to see his work load increase this season as the backfield will be a little less crowded.
On defense, All-Region linebacker Jacoby Cotrell returns for the Indians. He led the team in solo tackles and total tackles last season. Along the line of scrimmage, PJ Smith and Luis Medina will anchor the front while Dylan Woody and Jamarious Mosteller return to patrol the secondary.
We asked Coach Hammon if there were any games circled on the schedule.
He simply said, “Rockmart.”
How will the Indians define success this season?
Coach Hammon said, “(by) making the playoffs.”
