Soccer field renamed in honor of deceased coaches
Providence Christian Academy renamed its soccer field Friday in memory of two soccer coaches who led the Lilburn school’s teams to state championships.
Spracklin Williamson Memorial Field honors the legacies of John Spracklin, who won a state championship in 1999, and Jonny Williamson, who won a state championship in 2007.
Head of School Jim Vaught said the coaches were inspiring leaders both on the field and in the classroom.
