Tattnall boys start 11-1, play Wilkinson County Tuesday
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Tattnall Square Academy’s boys basketball team made it to the GISA Final Four last season, but the school decided not to renew coach Edwin Cook’s contract.
Jarvis Smith took over for the program’s jump to the GHSA. Smith coached at Brewton-Parker College the last two seasons.
You’d think a jump to the GHSA and all the changes that come with a new head coach would make for a tough start, right?
Well, you’d be wrong.
The Trojans are 11-1 but will see a big challenge Tuesday when two-time defending Class A champ Wilkinson County pays a visit.
“You’ve got to be excited,” Smith says. “It doesn’t get any bigger than this on this level. Two-time defending state champ, back to back. I told them in the circle before we broke up, ‘If you’re competitive juice is not flowing right now. . . you should be excited.'”
The Trojans host the Warriors, who are 8-2 after a loss to Stratford last week, Tuesday around 7:30.
