Southwest DeKalb, M.L. King and Hawkinsville are looking for new coaches.
Damien Wimes confirmed to GHSF Daily that Southwest DeKalb won’t be renewing his contract despite a six-year record of 39-24 with two region titles. Southwest DeKalb slumped to 2-8 this season after losing five games by six points or less. Southwest DeKalb is Wimes’ alma mater.
M.L. King, another DeKalb County school, also made a change, parting ways with Deante Lamar after six seasons. Lamar led the Lions to their first winning season in six years in 2019 (7-4), but M.L. King has won just two games each of the past three seasons.
Shane Williamson has stepped down at Hawkinsville after four seasons, his 21st overall as a head coach. The Red Devils haven’t had a winning season since its 2014 Class A championship team and were 11-29 in four seasons with Williamson.
