The Lumpkin football team already endured life without Cal Faulkner. Now the basketball team will as well. The Indians do return three solid starters, and bring in a transfer that will make this team a handful in 6-AAA. The region is up for grabs this year, so Chris Faulkner will look to have his team vying for the top spot.
