Colquitt County head football coach Sean Calhoun is preparing for 10 days of spring practice starting May 4, aiming to solidify the team's depth chart and enhance competitiveness among his 104 players. The spring practices will include several morning and afternoon sessions leading up to a spring game against Coffee on May 20. With the same coaching staff returning from a successful 9-3 season, Calhoun will work on filling gaps left by graduation, particularly at quarterback and across the offensive line.

By the Numbers
  • Colquitt County finished last season with a 9-3 record.
  • Rising junior quarterback Cohen Lawson has thrown for 3,111 yards and 28 touchdowns over the last two seasons.
  • Transfer quarterback Khi Mitchell threw for 1,479 yards and had 669 rushing yards last season.
State of Play
  • The team is addressing key departures, including last year's leading rusher now at the University of Georgia.
  • Competition at quarterback includes Lawson, Mitchell, and rising sophomore MJ Fowler.
  • The offensive line faces challenges with four starters lost to graduation, leaving only one returning starter.
What's Next

Following the spring practices, the Packers will compete in 7-on-7 events at Florida State and Florida in June, as well as host a padded camp in July. The preseason scrimmage is set for August 7 against Houston County with a highly anticipated season opener against Thomas County Central on August 21.

Bottom Line

Colquitt County is focused on maximizing competitiveness and filling key roles during spring practice, setting the stage for a promising but challenging upcoming football season.
