Dalton football hires Roswell coach with 50 wins in 5 seasons
Chris Prewett, who led Roswell to 50 wins and two region titles in five seasons, was announced as Dalton’s football coach Friday morning.
Dalton, coming off an 0-10 season, is a traditionally strong program that has been mostly mediocre since reaching the Class 6A semifinals in 2016.
Excluding forfeits in 2011, Dalton had winning seasons each year from 1960 through 2019.
Prewett got the Roswell job in 2020 after serving three seasons as defensive coordinator. Prewett also has worked on staffs at Pope and Johns Creek.
Prewett’s Roswell record was 50-13 while reaching the quarterfinals three times and the semifinals once.
Roswell was 9-3 this season with losses to state powers Buford, Hughes and Milton.
