Now that I’ve had an entire day to reflect I just want to say again how much fun I had with our 2018 team! I’m going to miss being out there with each of you guys!! Thank you to our seniors for a great ride!
Dragons will play White Co at HOME one week from tonight in the GHSA State Playoffs. Dragons have never won a state playoff game. We need everyone there making it a home field advantage!

Never been more proud of a group than our guys last night. Had several key guys out & several situations went against us and we found a way in the end! Great home crowd, cheer, band, students of creating a home field advantage! Feels good to be 3-0..now focusing on the next game!
Game Day!! Last time I was on a team that was 10-0 I looked like this! Going to be a challenge but excited for the opportunity to try to be 10-0 tonight! I know our guys will come out and play hard!!

Our kids never say die. Down 13-12 with 3:34 to play, we drive 80 yards for 6 and convert the 2 point after to go up 20-13 with 1:09 to play. Then we intercept them w 20 seconds left… what a game. Beyond proud of how far we’ve come over the last month.. now PLAYOFFS! Go Dragons

@HealthyDragons1
Today's a special day for the Dragon Nation. Today is Shawn Mask's birthday. We miss you Shawn. We will keep working hard to honor both of our teammates we lost this past year.
All my coaching friends out there know that it is the comments like these that mean way more than the pats on the back you get from winning. Grateful to have so many good guys in our program. Thanks coach!
@nettesbball
1 year ago today we lost our teammate Jordan Simonds. We miss you Jordan! Jordan's family has set up a scholarship in his memory. Please consider making a donation. We will work hard to honor him by making this the best season ever (Jordan's Sr Year) and dedicating it to him!
What a game! Our Pickens Dragons came out and played 4 quarters of football and came out with a 35-10 win over Nortgwest Whitfield. Every day is a good one but this is a GREAT DAY TO BE A DRAGON! A huge thanks goes to our fans, cheerleaders, and band members for their support!
Now that all the championship games have been played, the season is officially over. I’m already looking forward to the next one! The Dragons will be ready for 2018.
