After serving as Cherokee County’s defensive coordinator, including for the Warriors 2009 Class 4A state championship season, Wehunt certainly knows success.

Heading into his second year as Oxford’s boys soccer coach, Dwight McDonald wanted a commitment from within the program.
After the Yellow Jackets finished the 2012 season with an 11-12 record, McDonald started conditioning workouts in November, rather than the standard protocol of beginning in January. The plan was for the Yellow Jackets to build a better bond.

Judd Smith had the thought long before his family moved to the Wellborn community in 2009.
He was about to start the first of 49 varsity football games he played for his father and coach, Jeff Smith, and he wondered what he should call him on the field, in the locker room and during any football activity.
“I said, ‘I’ll tell you what to call me, call me dad. I’m your dad first, then I’m your coach,’” Jeff Smith said.
