Darlington's repeat road quite bumpy

The celebrations ended months ago. Now, what Darlington School boys basketball coach Nathan West put in front of his Tigers as defending GHSA Private boys state champions looks like a championship game each and every night. That would include a preseason scrimmage Darlington played on Halloween afternoon at Van Es Arena against a solid south Georgia name on the hardwood, Tift County High. The Tigers won 61-56 giving the home crowd an advanced look at what Darlington plans to show several others all the way to March. “That’s in the past. That’s history,” said West about Darlington’s first-ever state championship win in boys basketball — 53-50 over Holy Innocents’ at the Macon Coliseum — to end the Tigers’ season at 30-2. “It’s a new year. We have a new group. We have guys playing different roles. We have to put the history behind us and get focused on this year. I thought (the scrimmage) was a good start to that.” West only lost three senior starters, two of which signed to play college basketball: Christian Teasley and Cam Selig. The other was Brent Bell. There were seven Tigers dressed out for the scrimmage who played on the championship team plus

The Marietta girls will be trying to win their seventh straight title and the Pope girls will be trying to win their third as they compete in the cross country state championships Friday and Saturday in Carrollton. In Class AAAAAAA girls meet, Harrison joins Marietta as well-positioned to contend for the state title. Both dominated their respective sectionals, with five runners each finishing in the top 10.

On the boys side, Marietta came in sixth, led by Lucas Fortenberry’s 27th-place finish. Marietta coach Jack Coleman said he was happy with how his girls ran last weekend, and they should have a strong chance to contend for the title. “If we can perform with the effort level that we gave Saturday, then we can live with whatever those results are,” said Coleman, whose squad has won eight of the last nine championships. “The girls are hoping to be in the mix and should be in the mix to have a race with Harrison for the state championship.

Floyd County Schools named Georgia Charter System of the Year

Floyd County Schools was named Georgia Charter System of the Year on Wednesday in Athens during the annual Georgia Charter System Conference. The honor recognized the district’s focus on innovation and its ability to deliver a community-centered culture. A charter system is similar to a charter school but on a larger scale, with similar flexibility to reshape its organizational identity, maximize academic efforts, modernize communication channels and unite the district under a shared collaborative front. “We really see this as a teacher award because it’s driven by them,” FCS Assistant Superintendent and Chief Academic Officer John Parker said. “It’s about their focus and dedication every day in the classroom, and how they are helping educate our students.” In addition to receiving the award, FCS leadership presented a featured session, “Success Is Not an Accident,” at the conference, highlighting how aligned strategy and intentional dialogue drive long-term district progress. “Charter flexibility gives us the structure to innovate, but true progress happens when every school and community partner moves together as one unified front,” Parker said. “We used our charter status as an opportunity to rebrand who we are around a single, shared purpose: fostering community success.” There are three different types
