Strengths: “Leadership and experience,” says Pineda. “Our senior class has had a very successful career thus far, making the GHSA State tournament each year.”

“Our program is coming off a Region 8-AAAAA Runner-Up and GHSA State Tournament appearance,” adds Pineda. “Unfortunately, we did not achieve the desired results we wanted last season. For the 2025 season, our program is striving to ‘get over the hump,’ win the Region 8-AAA Championship and make a deep run in the GHSA AAA State Tournament. Our team mantra for this season is #RiseAsONE.”
