The Skinny
Coach Caleb Bagley’s Colts went winless last season, but don’t let that fool you.
“Expectations are higher here than they have ever been,” said Coach Bagley.
Coahulla Creek is the newest school in Whitfield County and has only been playing football since 2012. They will be tested early and often this season as two of their first three games are against teams that qualified for the postseason last year, (Northwest Whitfield and Adairsville).
The Colts also face a tough gauntlet mid-season and it won’t be much easier rounding out the season with games against perennial region 6-south bully, Calhoun and a tough Ringgold squad.
We asked Coach Bagley about his offense and who might we see break out for the Colts.
“Michael King, had a solid year last year, (we are) expecting big things this year,” he said. “Coda Blackwell is a returning OL who has had a tremendous off-season.”
When the defense takes the field, look for Titus and Tim Underwood and Boone Creswell to lead the Colts. Tim (Underwood) led the team in tackles last season as a junior. There are several other Colts looking to step up and make their mark on the defensive side of the ball.
Is there a particular game circled on the calendar for the Coahulla Creek?
“We try to take things one step at a time, so right now the next game is Northwest Whitfield,” said Bagley.
With regards to how what will determine success, Bagley kept it simple saying “how much we improved from last year.”
