Athletics

Football

Schley Middle High School has a varsity football team and a middle school team. In 2016 Schley County hired a new head coach in the wake of an 0-10 season. Darren Alford accepted the job to become the new head coach and also took on the role of strength and conditioning coach. The 2016 season was Alford's first season ever as a head coach of a high school football team. Alford came from West Laurens High School in Dublin, Georgia. At West Laurens Alford was the offensive coordinator and strength and conditioning coach. Prior to his time at West Laurens, Alford also coached at Americus High School, where he won a state championship in the 2000-2001 season. When Alford took the job as the head coach at Schley County, he knew the challenges it would bring being that the Wildcats football team put less than 45 points on the score board in 2015. The 2016 season proved that Alford has the Schley county football team on the rise. The Wildcats went 4-6 and scored 189 points while allowing 236. The hiring of Darren Alford as the Schley County head coach proved to be the right hire for the Schley County Board of Education. Only time will tell if Alford can lead the Wildcats to their playoff game since 2008.
