The Skinny
Zach Grage has led the Thomasville Bulldogs to the playoffs in his first three seasons as head coach down in the City of Roses. The Bulldogs generally find themselves in the post season more often than not. We asked Coach Grage what the biggest challenge was for his team coming into this season.
“Our schedule,” he said.
The Bulldogs offense lost a lot of firepower from last season. Kevin Cochran is one of the top returning skill players for Thomasville. In 2018, Cochran caught 45 passes for 651 yards and 2-TDs.
All Region tight end Payten Singletary (a Cincinnati commit), also returns for the Bulldogs. Singletary caught 18 passes for 260 yards and 4-TDs in 2018. Grant Conger and William McBride will anchor the offensive line for the Coach Grage.
On defense, Singletary will also line up at defensive end will be joined on the line by senior lineman Chris Monroe. Jashawun Thornton will led the linebackers while KD Johnson will be a leader in the secondary for Thomasville. Johnson is the team’s top returning tackler from last season.
We asked Coach Grage if there were any games that were circled on the schedule for his Bulldogs.
He said, “Cairo, Thomas County Central, Brooks Co, and Fitzgerald.”
What will a successful season look like for the Thomasville Bulldogs?
“Region Championship and a legitimate run at a state title,” said Coach Grage.
