HOMER, Ga. — With an off-week, and after dropping their season-opening game to East Hall 42-21 last week, Banks County parted ways with head coach Todd Winter and the defensive coordinator on Friday.
Mark Hollars, who came over from Commerce after last season to be the offensive coordinator, was named as the new head coach.
The announcement was made in a statement by Banks County superintendent Dr. Ann Hopkins:
Banks County School System has made the decision to move in a different direction with the leadership of our football program. We are appreciative of the time and commitment Coach Todd Winter has given to our student-athletes.
We are excited to announce that Coach Mark Hollars will serve as the new head football coach at Banks County High School. Coach Hollars is committed to building a strong, unified program that reflects the values of teamwork, discipline, and pride in being a Leopard.
We look forward to the future of Banks County football under his leadership and are confident this new chapter will bring fresh energy and focus to our program.
