The Trojans are more anxious than ever to “bring that hammer.”
Head coach Maurice Freeman is a Brooks County Trojan to the core, popularizing and living by this mantra that defines the football culture in his program. After spending 30 years as an educator, 15 of which have been spent as the Trojan’s football coach, Coach Freeman knows the importance of perseverance.
“Last year, we had to fight through adversity,” Freeman said. “We lost our quarterback and best defensive back early in the season. Being able to fight through that, get into the playoffs, get on the road and upset a higher seed, it was strong but left us with an empty stomach because we felt like we were a better team.”
This year, Freeman doesn’t have to search far for senior leadership. Perry (QB) and White (RB) will lead on offense while the fierce line backing unit of Wade, Holding, and Edmonds anchor the defense against a deep region.
“Region play means everything to me,” Freeman said. “It’s Fitzgerald, Thomasville, Early, Berrien; it’s just regional play, man, it’s tough. So, if you get out of this region as one of the four, man, you’ve done something big and going to do fine in the playoffs. And here at Brooks County, we only define success by the distance we make in the playoffs.”
