After six seasons and a 37-32 record, Coach Charles Hammond resigned from his position. CHS hired Shawn Peek as the new head coach. Coincidentally, years ago, Hammond succeeded Peek as head football coach at Dade County.
Peek was defensive coordinator at South Pittsburg in Tennessee before accepting the Chattooga job. He has also coached in Alabama in his 31-year coaching career. Peek inherited a team with a good group of seniors to help lead the way.
There are quarterback Cash Allen, offensive linemen Nick Hudson, Eli Hosmer, and Noah Cordle. Other seniors like Taiquan Sheppard and Ty Veatch have stepped up their games and made a huge impact also. There are also some impactful juniors, especially Lashaun Lester, who gained 1500 yards rushing last season. Peek says he has other juniors that are assuming leadership roles this offseason.
