Coach continued from IB
Athletic director discusses school programs
Apalachee High School has
won two state weight lifting
meets in the last three seasons.
The year it didn’t win the
championship, the team was
runner-up.
“Strength builds confi
dence,” Davis said. “It trans
lates to the football field on
Friday night.”
Having made the state play
offs three years in a row adds
to the confidence factor for
the program, just as the suc
cess in the weight program.
“We are to the point we
believe we can be successful,”
the coach said. “We play hard
and we take the field believing
we can win.”
Strong community support
has also played a role in the
program's success.
“This is all very humbling
to me,” Davis said. “I am glad
our seniors have been able
to experience this. They are
my first class to go through
completely with me. Years
from now they will have the
memories of going to the state
playoffs three years. That is
important to me.”
Bethlehem Christian
Academy recently held its first
athletic booster club meeting.
At the meeting, school admin
istrator Rhonda Whiting intro
duced BCA’s athletic director,
Jason Miller.
Miller announced to the
crowd of about 50 parents
how well the current sports
teams are doing, including
wins for the volleyball team
and top finishes by students
on the cross-country team.
Miller also told the crowd
about the overwhelming
response they have had for
the basketball conditioning
(more than three times as
many students are trying out
for the middle school team
this year).
Sports for BCA this year
include volleyball, competi
tion cheerleading, basketball,
baseball, softball and golf.
Looking into the future,
Bethlehem Christian Academy
hopes to develop competitive
football, wrestling, tennis,
soccer and track teams.
Miller also said the possibil
ities for the sports programs at
the school are endless, as long
as the interest is there.
Also at the booster club
meeting, parent Jimmy Parker
discussed upcoming construc
tion of facilities for the sports
program at the Christian
school. First on the agenda
is to begin constructing the
baseball/softball field. Parker
said they are expected to have
the field in playing condition
by the spring. Construction of
a multi-functional gym is also
planned within the next year.
Preview continued from IB
“They run an eight-man
front like we do defensively,”
Fritts said. “They use a little
more man coverage than we
do. They appear to be very
athletic on the defensive side
of the football.”
The Rome coach praised
the play of the Wildcat offen
sive backfield and said it will
be key for his team to slow
down Apalachee’s offense.
Fritts has now guided his
team to the playoffs in each
of his four seasons in Rome.
Playing at home this week will
be somewhat of an advantage
for his Wolves, although only
to some degree, he said.
“You always want to play
at home,” the coach said.
“However, each team knows
what is at stake at this point.
Everyone is trying to stay
alive. Once the whistle blows
you have 48 minutes to prove
you are in fact the better
team.”
Overall, Fritts said his team
is healthy, as Rome’s off week
was late in the season. One
of his defensive linemen was
banged up in the final regular
season game last Friday, he
said.
Kickoff this Friday will be
8 p.m., rather than the 7:30
p.m. most schools use now.
“The 8 p.m. kickoff is a long
tradition here,” Fritts said.
Jones, Shorter on road Sat.
Coach Phil Jones and the Shorter College Hawks will be
on the road this Saturday as they travel to Bethel College in
Tennessee for an 8 p.m. kickoff.
Jones, the former head coach at Winder-Barrow High School,
has guided the Hawks to an 8-2 record and a No. 19 record in
the latest NAIA Top 25 poll.
