Irwin County Football: A Team of Destiny

Sometimes in life, sports resemble something like a movie. It’s like someone wrote down a script, hired the actors and actresses, and shot a piece over a roller coaster of eight months. That was Irwin County football during the 2019 season.

Ocilla, Georgia, is a small-town in South Georgia of about 3,400 people. Like most of the southern part of the state, Ocilla is quiet, and the citizens of the town care about a few things: farming and football. Class A football in Georgia is littered with tiny county schools with an immense amount of passion and pride for their schools.

Irwin County High School in Ocilla is no different, only that they desire that elusive state championship. They won once, in 1975, and now are going through a bit of a golden age in their high school sports history. Some of their best prospects are in the program now, and in 2015, 2017 and 2018 they fell in the state championship game to their bitter rivals Clinch County. 2019 was the year everything changed.
