Hines has served as the Executive Director of the GHSA since 2017. </p><p>Scott, who holds degrees from Georgia College, Troy State University and ARGOSY University, has an extensive background as a coach and administrator in Georgia. </p><p>Scott began his career in 1987 at Northside High School in Warner Robins where he was head wrestling coach and assistant football coach. He moved to Warner Robins High School as Assistant Principal in 1997 before returning to Northside as Principal in 2001. </p><p>Scott also served as Principal at Dublin High School and Douglas County High School before joining the Dalton Public School System as Assistant Superintendent for District Operations in 2015. He became Superintendent of the Dalton system in 2018. </p><p>Scott says that a common thread throughout his career “has been and is the collaboration of all stakeholders to share best practices and ideas for the success of every student and our organization.” </p><p>Throughout his career, Scott has worked with the Georgia High School Association on numerous occasions, overseeing the hosting of many GHSA events, including a state championship football game. </p><p>Scott also has been recognized on multiple occasions by the Georgia School Board Association for his exemplary work. He is a member of the National Association of School Superintendents, the Georgia Association of Educational Leadership, and the Professional Association of Georgia Educations, among other organizations. </p><p>“We are excited about Dr. Tim Scott being named sole finalist for the Executive Director position,” said GHSA President Dr. Jim Finch. “Dr. Scott brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the association. It was clear during the search and interview process, Dr. Scott was able to articulate a plan and vision to move the GHSA forward. We look forward to his leadership and are confident he can continue to provide a positive and enriching experience for our student athletes." </p><p>Scott’s hiring must be ratified by the GHSA State Executive Committee at its annual Fall Meeting on April 15, 2024 in Macon. Scott would be the seventh Executive Director in the history of the GHSA, following Sam Burke (1939-76), Bill Fordham (1976-91), Tommy Guillebeau (1991-2001), Ralph Swearngin (2001-14), Gary Phillips (2014-17) and Hines (2017-24).</p>Fun 101.1 FMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15396806209654431722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1621006854187839103.post-76095647200901418462024-03-13T10:16:00.003-04:002024-03-13T10:16:35.591-04:00PIKE/LAMAR PRIMARY TOTALS<p> IN PIKE COUNTY-2632 REPUBLICAN VOTES CAST--DONALD TRUMP GOT 2475, HALEY 121, DESANTIS 23.

BRODER<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">DISTRICT ATTORNEY</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">Griffin Judicial Circuit</p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">On Monday, March 4, 2024, after a five-day jury trial in Upson County, Ahman Kentezz Caldwell and Lazarus Ali Quiller were found guilty of several charges, including aggravated assault, reckless conduct, criminal damage to property in the second degree, violation of the street gang terrorism and prevention act, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. The two were sentenced by the Honorable Ben J. Miller in the Upson County Superior Court, with each sentenced to serve 16 years in prison plus 28 years of supervised release. The State was represented by Senior Assistant District Attorney Ashton H. Jordan and Assistant District Attorney Jonathan P. Richardson. The Thomaston Police Department, led by Cpt. Monica Snipes, investigated this case.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">The case stemmed from an ambush planned by Ahman Caldwell, Lazarus Quiller, and a third co-defendant whose charges remain pending. Just before 9:00PM on September 5, 2021, Lazarus Quiller, Ahman Caldwell, and their co-defendant arrived at the Park Street Playground. The 3 exited the car, each equipped with a firearm. Within minutes of their arrival, the basketball court cleared out, and the park surveillance cameras showed bystanders taking cover in the pavilion before quietly asking if others had heard about the planned shooting. At 9:02PM, a truck with two suspected passengers arrives, and the defendants opened fire with an unknown caliber handgun, an AR-15 assault rifle, and an AK-47 assault rifle. At least one of the truck occupants returns fire with a handgun, prompting the 3 defendants to flee on foot, towards the direction of Park Street. Several vehicles were damaged by bullets, but very fortunately, there were no reported injuries. Cpt. Snipes and her team immediately responded to the scene, securing evidence and gathering information from witnesses. After identifying the defendants, later investigation revealed the co-defendants to be associates of the Sex Money Murder G20 Henchman subset of the Bloods gang, with this shooting being gang-related.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">“This trial was an all-hands-on-deck case, and was an example of an incredible team effort. I am grateful to the members of the Thomaston Police Department,<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">Senior ADA Jordan, Victim-Advocate Hannah Kennedy, Investigator Rick Reeves, and Katy Hurt of the District Attorney’s Office for all their hard work and long hours preparing this case for trial.” ADA Richardson stated. He continued by stating, “this community cannot tolerate the severe danger and risks brought by gang-affiliated individuals engaging in a gun fight in a public park, and the citizens of Upson County agreed when issuing their guilty verdicts.”<o:p></o:p></p></div>Fun 101.1 FMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15396806209654431722noreply@blogger.com0
