Lambert football coach Tommy Watson is leaving Forsyth County after two seasons to take the same position at Harris County.

The move puts Watson closer to home. He is a graduate of Upson-Lee and coached that school from 2008 to 2013.

Lambert was 5-5 and 7-4 in two seasons under Watson. The team was 0-10 the season before Watson was hired.

Harris County, a Class 5A school north of Columbus, was 7-5 last season under Jamie Fox, who retired.

The Forsyth News was the first to report Watson’s resignation.
