Four Questions with retired coach Rodney Walker:

1. What is the most memorable game you've been a part of as a player or coach?"In 43 years of coaching there were many memorable games that were especially exciting for the players, coaches and fans. Three of my favorites are: First, in 1981 while coaching at Habersham Central, we beat Clarke Central 7-0 for the first victory over Clarke Central in school history, sending Habersham Central to the playoffs. Second, in 1984, West Rome beat Mary Persons 14-7 in the state championship game. This game was bittersweet because it came against my high school team and coach [Dan Pitts]. And third, in 1988 while coaching at Stephens County, we beat Dalton 22-21 in overtime to put us in the state championship game. Down 21-14 with less than a minute to go, we recovered a fumble and scored on the next play. The PAT tied the game, and we won in overtime on penetration."
