Unbelievable visit from
@CoachSamPittman
today from UGA. People wonder why this guy lands the big ones on the recruiting trail, I don’t after spending time with him. Thanks for checking on the Dragons.

So many emotions tonight. We left everything on the field tonight. Thank you Dragons for answering the bell and playing to your “potential.” Much love and respect to the class of 2018. Go light the world on fire.
#DYJ
A great day ended with a freak accident. One of our own, upcoming sophomore DB/RB Jordan Rogers suffered a lower leg injury. He will see an ortho tomorrow. Please be in 🙏🙏🙏 for a speedy recovery.
#NeverSatisfied
I do not have the words to express my disappointment for the decision announced today. I miss my players and my school family so much. To the class of 2020, my heart is broken for you. Do no let this circumstance define who you are. Go be great!

What a game. Players fought to the very end. We will learn and grow from this one. Thank you to the Pepperell Community for showing up and representing. This group can still accomplish a lot. Keep backing the “P”.
#brotherhood
What it’s all about! University of the Cumberland’s, Wingate University and Jacksonville State University got better today because of these three. I could not be more proud.
#DYJ
Never under estimate the fight in a dog. Toe to toe with the defending state champ for four quarters after starting the season 1-5 says a lot about our players and our coaches. Wish the outcome could have been different, but I’ll never forget their efforts.
#NeverSatisfied
Super excited to name
@PullumTyler
our new Offensive Coordinator. Coach Pullum has served as the QB Coach and Special Teams Coordinator for the previous three seasons.
I never give out advice to young coaches, but when I do it’s sound. Take time for you and your family. Get away, turn off the phones, enjoy each other, and Mother Nature. It will keep you charged and eager for another season.

Congratulations to
@C_gresham18
for signing with
@shorteruniv
baseball. The Hawks are getting one heck of a competitor, and an even better young man. Very proud of this one.
Great rule to live by.
You will become the average of the 5 people you spend your most time with.
Make the conscious decision to hang with people who are exceptional in character, work ethic and determination.
It could change your life.
Happy 17th Birthday to this guy.
@_hurrssttt
Getting to coach him this year was one of highlights of my career. Win or lose, watching you perform at a high level makes me smile. I’m so proud to be your dad. Love you bud.
#prouddad
Nothing but love for our seniors and our entire team. This group battled to the very end. I appreciate our coaching staff, administration, and our great community. It’s always a great day to be a Dragon. Seniors, reflect, but do not dwell on the what ifs. Go be great.
#Relentless
Total team effort tonight against a very good Bremen team. Proud of our staff and the player’s effort and execution. Still have to improve, but man it feels good to win.

It was play day
@PepperellDRAGO2
football today. This group deserved a day to relax and just play. They came back in great shape after the shut down. I could not be more proud of a group of young men. Enjoyed the smiles and joy on their faces. Big man one on one.
#Relentless
2021 OL
@dawsonduncan68
with a new PR of 300 lbs. on Power Clean. This guy is getting a lot of interest. 6’3 275 and he can play all 3 positions on the OL.
Life is precious, and we never know when we will be called home. Pepperell Football is praying for the Model area and especially those that have tragically lost loved ones.

PSA: Quitters never succeed on the field or in life. Successful people never associate yourself with quitters. Their only goal is to bring you down. Surround yourself with competitors who will push you to your max.
#COMPETE
Very thankful to be a part of the Dragon Family. To the players, parents, fans and administration of this great place, I appreciate your support and desire to be the best in ALL we do. Never forget, it is Always A Great Day to be a Dragon!
#blessed
I don’t like to brag or boast about my kids and their athletic accomplishments. 1. Not my style. 2. Never want them to hear “well your dad is the AD/Coach.” But, this deserves to be mentioned. I’m am so proud of my girl. What a Freshmen season!
#girldad
PSA - For all you aspiring head coaches, if an Administration will not work to get ALL your athletes in weight training DO NOT take the job! I’m am blessed to have one here that makes it happen for all sports. Thanks
@DrDaleWillerson
and
@JameyAlcornPHS
Very proud of
@_hurrssttt
for being the John Pinson Jr. Outstanding Student Athlete 2020 Scholarship Recipient. It’s not easy being the Head Coaches son, but this guy did it the right way. I appreciate his dedication and hard work over the last 4 years.
#brotherhood
Thanks to the PHS Dragon Club, ten athletic programs, and our great community for helping sponsor ten less fortunate children in the Pepperell area. $2500 spent. Great day to be a Dragon!
@Pepperell_Pulse
I absolutely cannot wait to see all my Dragons tomorrow in the weight room and in the halls of Pepperell High School. It will do my soul good.
#Relentless
35 unanswered points against a good football team to win 35-14. We preached physicality all week and the players followed through. So proud of our efforts.
#NeverSatisfied
Proud American was not the sentiment I held yesterday afternoon. WE got to be better than this. I use this quote often. “The time is always right to do what is right.” MLK
Congratulations to the following Dragons for their selection to the 2020 All Region 7-AA Team (1st Team) RB DJ Rogers, OL Clay Crawford, OL Dawson Duncan, K Will Helton, DL Brennan Tillery, LB Kolby Davis, DB Chase Gresham, DB Marsyan Griffin
Never say there is no more good in the world. Thank you Mrs. Cindy Underwood for stopping by the house with balloons and making 2020 Senior
@_hurrssttt
feel special. I love my Pepperell community.

During this down time players from all sports will be accountable as to what their commitment level is to their sport, their coaches, their teammates and most importantly to themselves. How you train alone is indicative of YOUR love of ALL of the above.

Congratulations to Junior Drake Miller for his State Champioship in Wrestling at 170 lbs. Miller finished the year at 50-1. For his efforts Drake has been named the Floyd Medical Athlete of the Week.
@FloydCoSchools
@FloydMedical
Best thing of Day 2 and 3 “social distancing” getting to speak with about 25 of our players. Hearing their voice and checking on their well being was therapeutic. Contacting 10-12 more tomorrow. It’s not about football right now, it’s about being human.

#LoveOnThem
Congratulations to the Dragon Boys Soccer team for their 1-0 win over previously unbeaten and
#1
ranked Coosa Eagles tonight. Huge win for Coach Camp and all the players. Freshmen Logan Wright with his 1st Varsity goal early in the 2nd half.
#NotanUpset
Great effort from our Dragons tonight. We battled for 48 minutes against a quality squad. Time to regroup and work on us during the open week.
@gage_moses03
is going to be just fine.
#brotherhood
Hard to argue with a $200,000 plus education. Football is football no matter what the level, but the reason a STUDENT-athlete attends college is to get that all important piece of paper. Football should be secondary.
This group is your Region 7-AA runner-up and will host Banks County in round one of the playoffs tomorrow night at Dragon Stadium. Come out and support this group of young men.
#DYJ
4th Overall at the Area 5 Weight Lifting Competition. 10 of 22 individual placers. Proud of these young men for the work they do daily and competing today. A lot of new PR’s were set today.
#IronDragons
1st Team Region 7-AA. Connor Chandler, TJ Watkins, Brian Tanner, Tae Hammond, Ramiro Alanis, Cade Thompson, Brian Williams. Chandler and Hammond were picked on both sides of the football. Congrats!
#DYJ
Congrats to Ellie Cox (Basketball and Competition Cheer) for being named
@FloydMedical
Athlete of the Week. This young lady is tough as nails. She has battled injuries all season, but never fails to give 100% on the mat or court. Competitor through and through.
#Toughness
I’ve only witnessed this three other times by a high school athlete. 315 lb. power clean by
@wesleygwade
Unfortunately he only played football his freshman year. Great baseball player and even finer young man.
