Tri-Cities football hires Woolridge as head coach
Tri-Cities has hired Michael Woolridge as its football coach.
Woolridge had been Pebblebrook’s head coach the past two seasons. His 2024 team finished 6-5, the Falcons’ best record since 2021.
Woolridge was South Atlanta’s head coach in 2021 and 2022 the two seasons before that and led them to a 22-3 record and two state quarterfinals finishes.
Before that, Woolridge worked at his alma mater, Hardaway in Columbus, where he took the program to three consecutive state playoff appearances after a 10-year drought.
Tri-Cities, a Class 5A school in south Fulton County, was 6-4 last season under Rodney Hackney.
The Pebblebrook job, which opened in January, has not been filled.
