Camden County football parts ways with coach Travis Roland
Camden County High School is in the market for a new football coach.
The school informed coach Travis Roland of its plans to move in a different direction, Roland confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Wednesday. Roland led the Bears to a 13-8 record over the last two seasons.
“This was a difficult decision and one that was not made lightly,” Superintendent Tracolya Green said in a statement.
Camden County missed the playoffs this season following a fifth-place finish in the brutal Region 1-6A. It snapped a seven-year playoff streak for the program.
The Bears made the playoffs in Roland’s first season, but exited in the first round after a 28-7 loss at North Cobb. Camden County was briefly ranked No. 10 in Class 6A this season before a 63-19 loss to Valdosta to open region play.
Roland was hired away from his head coach position at Mainland High School in Florida. He led Mainland to a state championship in 2023 before taking the Camden County job that offseason.
Roland succeeded high school coaching great Jeff Herron, who retired after the 2023 season.
