The Skinny
Coach James Collier enters his third season as the head coach for the Stone Mountain Pirates. One of the biggest challenges for Coach Collier and the Pirates this season will be the overall number of players. To add to those challenges, the Pirates play in an extremely challenging region, which includes foes such as Pace Academy, Lovett, Cedar Grove and Westminster.
QB Shaheim Bailey is the projected starter. Things should be looking up for Bailey as he enters his second season. He will be joined by running back Kameron Amerson. The Pirates will be looking for a wide receiver to step up as one of last year’s leader has transferred to Southwest DeKalb.
Defensively, hard-hitting line backer Mujhid “Mojo” Towns and defensive end Micah Ash, a long athletic player, will lead the charge for the Pirates. Look for Nashawn Hezekiah to also be in the mix on defense for Stone Mountain.
Coach Collier will certainly be looking forward to facing off against his alma mater, Cedar Grove on November 11th.
We asked how success will be defined for the Pirates, this season.
Collier said, “To see my young players mature and compete.”
