Shane Williamson took the reins at Lumpkin County the first week of June -- a time when most coaches already have full summer camps, passing league schedules and workouts planned...

The Longhorns set a program-record with 11 wins in 2015 behind a dominating defense led by Auburn-signee Derrick Brown. While Brown may be gone, coach Kory Mobbs said a talented group of defenders led by senior linebackers Tyler Taylor and Juwan Jones could be just as good as they look for a third consecutive region title...
