Shockley, Falcons in upcoming
Sharon Springs football camp
By BJ Corbitt
Sports Writer
Would-be gridiron warriors can get a
hand from the professionals soon, when
Sharon Springs Park holds its second annual
Pro Football Camp.
The event, set for June 2-4, will feature
several current and former Atlanta Falcons,
with former Georgia quarterback D.J.
Shockley headlining. Also scheduled to
attend are Falcon alums Roman Fortin,
Mike Gann, Michael Haynes, Terance
Mathis and Dan Owens.

The schedule looks a lot differ¬
ent for Forsyth Central this fall, but
coach Chris Bennett says the
Bulldogs’ focus is the same. With
spring drills in the rearview now,
Central is just a few months away
from returning to Region 6-AAAA,
where the Dawgs competed before
spending the last two seasons in
Class AAAAA.
“As far as the new region [goes],
it doesn’t matter who we play. We
have to take care of ourselves first
and foremost,” Bennett said. “We
feel that if we do that, then we have
a chance to be successful, and all we
need is a chance.”
Central is coming off consecu¬
tive three-win seasons in Region 7-
attending the same church, and last year
asked if the former wide receiver and some
of his Falcons associates would be willing to
show up for the camp.
.i I asked them if they’d be willing to
come, and they jumped on it,” said Ramsey,
who is president-elect of the Sharon Springs
Youth Football Association, the camp’s
sponsor.
Ramsey says the event is expected to
attract plenty of youngsters in its second
year. He said he anticipates at least 4(X) par¬
ticipants, up sharply from a year ago.
