Despite the fact that his father won a co-national championship with Georgia Tech, Milton defensive end Carl Lawson pledged to Auburn over the Yellow Jackets this past weekend.

The GHSA State Basketball Tournament is just around the corner. This year promises more of the usual, as a ton of talent from across the Peach State will do battle for the right to be called state champions.

But going deep into the tourney is about much more than just talent and ability. Some of the state’s top coaches say that while that is certainly important, winning a title is about much, much more.

Head coach Sharman White and Miller Grove are no strangers to the tournament. They have made a habit of going deep into the postseason and have won back-to-back state titles.

”At our program we want to be playing for state championships every season,” White said. Read more >
