On Friday night, former Coffee Trojans head football coach Robby Pruitt reached a milestone no other high school football coach in the country has accomplished. He won his 200th game in Florida, giving him at least 200 wins in two different states: 209 wins in Georgia (Fitzgerald, Warner Robins, and Coffee) and 200 in Florida (Union County, University Christian, and Williston). Pruitt’s Williston Red Devils defeated Ocala’s Trinity Catholic Celtics 49-21 in Ocala for his 200th win in Florida. Ironically, last season, Pruitt notched his 400th career win when the Red Devils beat the Celtics in Williston. “I didn’t even…

The CCA Lady Patriots had a mixed bag this week. On the one hand, they lost their first game since August 16, a showdown against GHSA Class 4A power Wayne County in Jesup on Tuesday.

CCA played Wayne County closely until the bottom of the fourth inning, when the Yellow Jackets put up seven runs that effectively ended the Lady Patriots’ hopes. CCA was trailing 3-0 going into the fourth inning. With two outs in the fourth, Abrah Harris singled, driving in Emma Gourley. When the inning…
The Coffee Lady Trojans did all they could do Thursday night. In the final two region games on the schedule – and during Senior Night to boot – Coffee swept the Lee County Lady Trojans in a doubleheader at Faircloth Field. Coffee won game one 6-0 and then took game two 4-3. The two games capped a week which saw Coffee beat Lee three times and improve to 18-5 overall and 11-4 in region play. And the Lady Trojans still don’t know their final seeding for the playoffs. Going into the game, Coffee was tied for third. The playoff wouldn’t…
When I walked outside of my house just after daylight on September 27, 2024, I wasn’t sure what I would see. I wasn’t sure what I *should* see. The night had been a difficult one. We had endured Hurricane Helene. I had heard – and felt – trees falling through my house. Water was dripping through the ceiling in my kitchen. A large pine tree had punched a hole in the ceiling of my younger son’s bedroom. As I stepped outside, the neighborhood was a tangled mess of twisted trees, crushed homes, damaged vehicles, downed power lines, and blocked roads.…
The Coffee Lady Trojans took care of the Lee County Lady Trojans Tuesday in Leesburg 10-2 in five innings behind the bat of Kanlee Douglas and another dominating pitching performance from Maggie Brown. Coffee is now 16-5 overall and 9-4 in region play with two more region games remaining. Coffee waited until a little late in the game to get things going and trailed Lee 2-1 after three innings. Then, in the fourth and fifth innings, the bats woke up and Coffee put the game away once and for all. In the fourth, Coffee did all of its damage with…
Last week, former Trojan and current Georgia Military College Bulldog Tyrese Woodgett had his breakout game. This time, it was West Georgia University linebacker Jyarius Carter’s turn. The true freshman has quietly been putting together a solid 2025 season. He’s played in every game and made the stat report with a few tackles each week. Saturday, however, he announced his presence to Wolves’ fans and future opponents alike. Against Eastern Kentucky, Carter recorded three solo tackles, two assisted tackles, a sack, and his first interception. It was his biggest game since week one’s win over Samford, in which Carter recorded…
