    Carrollton girls capture state crown
    May 20, 2013 | 0 0 comments | 5 5 recommendations | email to a friend
    All season it has been a possibility — and that possibility became a reality when the Carrollton High School girls' golf team won the Class AAAA state championship on Monday at the Nob North Golf Club in Cohutta. And it isn't just the team bringing home the hardware, as senior standout Sydney Needham shot a 74 to win the Class AAAA low medalist title by four strokes.

    Entering his 12th season in charge of the Carrollton High School football program, Rayvan Teague is tinkering with something he doesn’t do too often when it comes to his grunts in the trenches. Through the first week of spring practice, the Trojan coach has kept a keen eye on the line of scrimmage, where an ongoing development is underway with three Carrollton linemen working both sides of the ball. With three of his top defensive linemen also serving as some of the best bodies on the offensi...

    The course the Carrollton High School girls’ golf team navigated to reach the GHSA State Golf Championships may not have been the mapped out route, but the Lady Trojans ultimately reached their desired destination, nonetheless. And, quite honestly, the little speed bump along the way may be just what this group needed to add a little more fuel to the fire. In a new format implemented by the GHSA this year, the second-place finisher at region didn’t receive the automatic berth into the state t...
