Tim Barron, the coach who led Heard County to its first football state championship, resigned Tuesday after 19 seasons at the west Georgia school.

Heard County was 153-71 with seven region titles and the 2018 Class 2A championship under Barron, who took the job in 2002 after the Braves had gone 0-11 the prior season. Barron’s first team was 10-2, the first of seven 10-win teams.

In 2005, Heard won its first region title in history. Heard County beat Rockmart 27-6 in the 2018 state finals, avenging a 33-0 loss from the regular season.

A Cobb County native, Barron also was a head coach at Alexander in Douglass County for three seasons with a 10-20 record.
