With all the uncertainty in the world today. I figured I would bring a little positivity to your timeline. I purchased my first home. God truly continues to bless me when I don’t deserve it. Happy Saturday! Go Wolves!
15-0... highest scoring team ever in the state of Georgia back to back state champs... 2017 Rome Wolves is the best team in the state of Georgia hands down in any classification no questions asked... love this team love this staff and love these kids
#GoWolves
As Hard as it was to say goodbye to the Rome Football Program! I couldn’t be more excited and ready for this great opportunity! I look forward to a new chapter in my career and attacking this challenge with
@wgstack3335
is exciting! Darlington Tigers let’s get to work!
7 Rings for TB12! Beat Brees, Rodgers, Mahomes in a new location... So throw out “system qb” throw out “it’s because of Belichick” and give him credit. He’s the Greatest Player of All Time and it’s not even close.
2018 Football banquet is in the books! Two seasons coaching this kid and accomplished some great things! Gatorade Player of the Year among a multitude of other awards accomplished in the 2018 season! You will be missed 6! Go on to Tech and do great things! Love ya!
To the seniors... the legacy that you guys have left is something of legend.. 49-6 for QB1... coaching a back that went well over 6000 rushing yards and broke Hershel Walkers TD record is just amazing...X-Man was just special... I’ll always love you guys and I’m so dang proud!
Best part of my trip yesterday to watch Auburn UGA play was getting to see a kid who I witnessed his first ever high school start in Valdosta in 2015 in the Dome then helped us win a state championship in 2016...and now play at my alma mater! I couldn’t be any prouder of this kid
New Chapter in my Coaching Journey as the Darlington Offensive Coordinator… Most importantly came away with a win! While we have a ton of work to do to put up 48 points and 543 yards of total offense was impressive! I look forward to a cleaner performance next week!
Got a nice package in the mail today! 3rd and Final Degree! Never would’ve thought I would’ve accomplished this back when I was younger but Gods plan is always the best plan!
I’ve tried to not really say much about the game tonight but since all my UGA friends think it’s cool to hassle me and talk madness I guess I’ll join in on the fun... I look forward to my Auburn boys dominating a very overrated UGA team. War Damn Eagle 🦅
Last Night Bryson Hill
@ONENINE__
had 19 carries for 197 yards and 5TDs in a huge region win over Carrollton…I couldn’t be happier for this young man… he also played every snap of DB and block a punt on special teams. Such a underrated player.
@Mansell247
@RecruitGeorgia
Playoff bound! Proud of my group of young men working together playing for each other and growing together as a group! Bright future for these guys! All Love! Go Wolves 🐺
Here’s to year 5 with the Wolves… every season has its own special story… I look forward to helping the Wolves write a memorable story. Go Wolves 🐺

2017 Rome Wolves… Set the scoring record in the state of GA which still stands and had a running clock on every opponent throughout the playoffs including a 38-0 win in the state championship at their home field Defense gave up 8.6 points per game offense averaged 50.5 a game
Collins Hill has been more dominant than any team I can remember in the highest class the last 20 years. The defense gave up 83 points in 15 games. OL was dominant. Obviously QB/WR outstanding. Are they the best team of the recent era?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I’m extremely thankful for my extended family... My Rome Football family! We spend so many hours together talking not only ball but talking about family! Hope everyone has a great day enjoy the great food and be thankful today! Go Wolves!
Super proud of my only Senior
@lackeyej1
had a huge night running for 237 on 25 carries with 4 touchdowns... Finally all healed up and back to his old self... just in time for the playoffs! We aren’t finished yet! Looking forward to playoff football at Barron! Go Wolves 🐺
6th and Final year completed at Rome High School… Lots of great memories and so much personal growth in these years… I will be forever grateful for my time spent here… I am truly thankful for the opportunity Coach Reid gave me
It’s not often you have a running back go over 2000 yards in a 10 game season... this kid did it and only played past halftime 3 games! So very proud to be apart of this season! Our Oline is amazing! Go Wolves!!
#perfectregularseason
Gotta show some love to my guy
@FountainReece
! Congratulations on setting the school record at Rome! 7,996 yards and counting! Proud to have had the pleasure of playing a part in your first 3 years! Finish it strong this year! Keep building your legacy!
@RustyMansell_
When the season comes to an end... you’re sad not because the game didn’t go your way... but because you wanted a little more time for these kids to be around there brothers. You hope as they leave our program that maybe we’ve made a positive lasting imprint on these kids.
So proud of our wolves tonight... 9 new starters on Offense and 9 new starters on Defense... showed a ton of heart to overcome a halftime deficit and beat Rockmart 28-21... major respect to that Rockmart QB though dudes a baller
In my 4 seasons coaching RBs at Rome I’ve had the privilege of coaching some great young men... with EJ committing yesterday this marks 4 consecutive years of seeing one of my guys have the opportunity to play on the next level... needless to say I am very proud of my guys.
#RBU
Solid 1-0 week… eliminate 1 region opponent at a time… attack the next with more intensity and focus as the chase for the region crown intensifies! Go Tigers 🐅
I'm just now seeing this... congrats my man! I know this feels good to have the recruiting process complete now go bring another state championship to Valdosta... I'll be watching!
Fun fact Baseball was my first love growing up ... I’ve always loved the mental part of the game... it was my escape from the gridiron.. grateful to be on the diamond again ⚾️⚾️⚾️
It wasn’t pretty but we got it done… Hats off to our D for putting on a show last night! It felt good to get a “Good Job last night coach” while I was shopping today… People in the community love the Wolves! On to the next one!
Each year, Rome High hosts a Golden Apple ceremony. Each student graduating with honors gets to choose one teacher, k-12, who impacted them throughout their educational career! This year I was honored to receive an apple from Jonathan Vigoa!
Finally game week is back! Here’s to a long successful season! Looking forward to grinding this thing out again and seeing what happens in end! Go Wolves!
#RomeStrong
So very proud of this kid... gave it his all and helped Rome secure 2 state championships back to back over 1000 yards rusher... Can’t wait to see what he does at Marshall!! Enjoyed coaching him... Love this kid
Huge region win 21-20 over Kell... heck of a performance from our defense they battled their tails off all night... proud of our kids for the fight they showed tonight... it’s how championship teams are forged... lot of room for improvement and we’re onto Carrollton! Go Wolves
Made it to the championship game today at the UGA 7 on 7 but unfortunately my arch nemesis
@Coach_Wright50
was victorious again… the rivalry intensifies 😂😂 congratulations
@CoachSB_4theG
I always say everyday you lay it on the line and outwork every other running-back in the nation... so much more work to do if we're going to continue to go 1-0 every week...
#KeepPushing
@JamiousGriffin
Heart is heavy tonight... Just got word my grandfather passed away 2 hours ago.. he was my last grandparent I had left... just FaceTimed with him 2 weeks ago... so thankful for that.. Thanks for always making me laugh and being so positive... R.I.P.
As the season came to an end last night I must brag on my guys... they came together as a group led my my 1 senior
@lackeyej1
...it was a year filled with uncertainty but
@shaunne27013948
stepped up and pushed us through with
@ONENINE__
being a rock.
@RJHodges2
was my wildcard ❤️
Sad to see a program I coached at and won a state title in 2016 is having to deal with this because of some shady adults... Sad the kids are having to suffer for the failures of adults.
The Georgia High School Association has fined Valdosta $5,000, banned the football team from the 2021 playoffs and declared an unspecified number of players ineligible.
It’s been such a blessing to have worked with
@coach_boden
... one of the best human beings there is... I’ll miss our pregame fist bumps and post game hugs... Calhoun is getting a good one... Thanks for everything these last 4 years I’ll miss the Sunday gameplan shirts 😂
Undergrad ✔️... Masters ✔️... never would’ve thought after I made it through college I would’ve continued my education but here I am pursuing my specialist at GSU (online obviously) starting in the spring. Never stop trying to better yourself... change the narrative. ✊🏿✊🏿
When you dont have your priorities right... you’ll make decisions without thinking of the “what if’s” & when you do that life will hit you in the jaw like a Mike Tyson uppercut...when that happens u have a choice to make... quit or move forward & trust God’s plan.. hard as it is
Wrapped up the JV Baseball season this past week! Proud to have had the opportunity to watch these kids progress throughout the year!They caused me a few gray hairs in my beard but a winning record makes it all worth it! Look forward to seeing these kids progress in the future!⚾️
I knew back in 2016 when we brought him up to Varsity that this kid would one day be special... you always know when a kid is just special... glad to see him having a ton of success down in south Ga! Keep grinding
One of the hottest prospects in Georgia is Jaheim Bell
@Jaheim_Bell1
, a 2020 athlete out of Valdosta. He's added over a dozen offers in 2019.
He has a couple of big visits coming up this weekend and he knows when he will make his first cut.
UPDATE:
Really proud of my back
@AhijahBlackwell
... this kid worked his butt off all off season... did everything right in the classroom (3.8 GPA). Always respectful to his teachers... He waited his turn and has seized the opportunity thus far to the tune of 1,124 yards through 9 games.
Had a pretty productive Fall… Finally finished off my third and final degree! Undergrad ✅, Masters ✅, and Specialist ✅! Did it all while chasing a championship… fell short but Final Four appearance is still something to be proud of! Stressful but worth it.
@jemelehill
Also this... I see it too much when we lose someone and then speak out but when they are here we don’t promote all the good they are doing unless something tragic happens
Region Champs 2022! Proud of the growth my guys have shown this year… every week we grind and sacrifice for each other! I am blessed to have a group of young men who strive every day to be their best selves! The chase is the fun part… the chase is upon us! Go Wolves 🐺 🏆🏆
To my 2021 position group! I salute you guys… it took a lot of work to become Region Champs but you guys did it… Season didn’t end the way we wanted but I hope that y’all learned something about life throughout this journey. Proud of y’all and much love!
Big Region Win last night 28-22! Wasn’t pretty but a wins a win… thankful for the support of my good luck charm Courtney Roland and it made my night seeing my Rome Baseball Kids come show support!
Today feels like Christmas Eve... with us being able to get back seeing our players and coaching our guys tomorrow morning is therapeutic... in a time like this the kids need us to be there for them and show them it��s bigger than football 🏈... we’re family Go Wolves!
#June8th
Before you call the cops:
I was raised in the south in a two parent house hold. My mother Gloria King is probably the sweetest human being on this earth. She has never said a cuss world in her life. She raised me to always respect my elders and that is why to this day I still say
Today will be a tough day... I’ve decided to lead a class discussion on what Kobe Bryant meant to the world and the impact he’s made on me personally with the “Mamba Mentality”.... hopefully I’ll be able to do it justice and do it the right way.
Great day of fellowship with my RBs... Church followed by treating them to breakfast at Waffle House... It’s bigger than just Friday nights in the fall...
