How Dalton Football Is Building for Long-Term Success

I mean, for someone who's never, if they've never been to Northwest Georgia, I mean, uh, by the way, maybe somebody could buy my first book because I talked to-

Oh

... about Dalton as one of the first, uh, one of the chapters in my first book-

Mm-hmm

... about its history and how much football and both football, you know, F-U-T-B-O-L and F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L, means to that community, to the Catamount community.

And so Chris has never backed down from a challenge.

It's a-

What's the book called?

Back Roads and Backfields, by the way.

Okay.

You can pick it up on Amazon.

Okay.

And-

There you go.

There you go, folks.

So there's your, uh, there's your plug.

But yeah, Dalton was one of the chapters in the book, and I caught up with Coach Chappell and got to kind of find out what it was like as he was there building the program, and they've had some lean years.

And now Chris is there, and he's never backed down from a challenge, and I- I'm, I'm intrigued.

I- I'm, I wanna see how this continues to grow, and it's one of those cities and one of those programs that you root for, and now Chris Pruitt is, uh, the one who's in charge, trying to turn things around for the Catamounts on the football side.

Yeah, I remember this time last year we were so confused, and I think we said that to him.

[laughs] We were like, "Coach Pruitt, what are you doing in Dalton?" Um-

Yeah

...

but there is nobody more qualified and more passionate about the game than him to turn that program around and keep going forward, so I cannot wait to see what he does with it, and I have a feeling that we'll be hearing a lot about Catamounts making playoff runs in the next coming years.

Yep, 7-5A is the region that they're in in this new orchestration-
