DOUGLAS — It’s not going to be easy sitting at home this Friday night without a Coffee High Trojans game to follow.
It’s going to be even harder with the way the season ended. The Trojans should have defeated the Newnan Cougars Friday night. Coffee had the scheme, the […]

After dispatching the Warner Robins Demons 41-38 in an overtime thriller, the Trojans turn their attention to a fast, athletic Wildcats team that would […]
Perfectionists are seldom 100 percent satisfied with the results of a particular activity. That pretty much describes Coffee High head football coach Jerry Odom’s reaction following the Trojans’ 31-14 win over Tift Friday night.
