State of the Program ... Veterans (GA)
Veterans (GA)
Head Coach: Garrett Martin (entering 6th season)
Staff: Sean McSweeney, Austin Harrell
The Warhawks enter the 2021-22 season as one of the more dangerous teams in 5A. 5A is headlined by Woodland, Cass, Woodward Academy, Harris County, and others, but Veterans is a program that returns all of their State Placers and State Qualifiers from a 2021 team that finished in the top 20. This team will make a run for a top 10 finish in 2022 - and if they can add fuel to the fire they may make a run at an even higher place in Macon.
Latrell Schafer and Tanner Vorse both return after taking 3rd a year ago and both should be in the hunt for the top step on the podium. Veterans also return Zachary Coumbs, Dylan Fitzwater, Damien Johnson, and Logan Sherwood - each won matches in Macon and will look to take that next step onto the podium in 2022. One of the biggest returns for Veterans is Tyler Barb who will be back in time to make a run at the podium after the winter break. Keep an eye on Ovani Navedo - also a 2021 State Qualifier as well as Gabe Gibbs, Gabe Kloberdanz, and Bradley Wilson.
“Veterans looks to come in this season strong, we have a lot of depth in our 5 returning Seniors and return all of last years state qualifiers and placers in the line up. In addition, the new blood that has joined the team will make us very competitive in both duals and traditional, filling in gaps and giving us options at others. Goals are set, we just need to execute. ”
