Photos by Jessica Brown 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.
