Irene moves several games, Sanderson to make debut

The threat of Hurricane Irene and poor weather forced a handful of games along the state’s coast to move to last night. Class 5A power and highly-ranked Camden County’s tilt with Savannah was one of the games moved as was Johnson-Savannah/Richmond Hills, Wayne County/Windsor Forest, Treutlen/Vidalia and Claxton/Tattnall County.

Karen has reportedly been hired as athletic director at Hilton Head High School in South Carolina. He had also served as NGHS’s athletic director and head cross country coach. The GDP reported that John Rowland was named to the girls cross country position earlier this year…
