From 1994 until 2000, Brian Moore bled “GG” red and black.

As an assistant coach at Winder-Barrow High School, Moore worked countless hours to make the Bulldogg program a success.

By the time the 2000 season arrived, Moore had been named the first head football coach in Apalachee High School history. He continues to work within the Chee Nation, now as athletic director. [Full Story »] 

The Apalachee High School cross country teams will venture to region this week and see what happens.

“This year has been very challenging and we have not worked and competed to our potential,” said coach Billy Harrell. “The girls will not be able to qualify for state because we do not field enough runners. I hope for Shannon McConnell to finish top 15 and Kim Zahm top 40. The boys have underperformed all year, but finally had a great showing last week. Maybe we are peaking at the right time. I would love to finish in the top four to qualify for state, but realistically, I am hoping for a top six finish.” [Full Story »] 

The playoffs are now out of reach for the Apalachee High School football team for 2011. The Wildcats will now have to play for pride.

Ironically, based on how well the team has performed in the past few seasons, it’s something AHS should be uniquely qualified to do.

The Wildcats host Cedar Shoals Friday for Homecoming and will look to close out the final three games of 2011 season on a strong note. AHS coach Shane Davis said he believes his players will have the right mental attitude for the contest. [Full Story »] 

There were plenty of question marks going into the 2011 volleyball season for the Apalachee High School Lady Wildcats.

When all was said and done, AHS had finished second at the Region 8-AAAA tournament and returned to state for the second year in a row. For coach Joey Alfonso, it was simply another step down the road of building a successful program.

AHS fell in the opening round of state last week to Starr’s Mill 25-13, 25-19, 25-19, a victim of a bad draw as much as anything. Still, Alfonso knows the loss does not take away from what his team was able to accomplish in what was considered a rebuilding one in many ways. [Full Story »] 

The fortunes have turned in the last couple of weeks for the Apalachee High School football team.

However, Wildcat head coach Shane Davis knows a mountain of a challenge awaits this Friday.

AHS will host Clarke Central Friday at 7:30 p.m. as the Wildcats look to keep their postseason hopes alive against the defending Region 8-AAAA champion. [Full Story »] 

Saturday was a marathon for the Apalachee High School volleyball team.

After five matches, 13 games and seven and a half hours, the Lady Wildcats emerged as the Region 8-AAAA runner up. All in all, quite an accomplishment for the team and program, led by coach Joey Alfonso.

“The day started off rough because our bus was late and we were late getting there (to Habersham Central),” Alfonso said. “We were dragging and it took us some time to get going.” [Full Story »]
