Hebert takes over at GAC
Greater Atlanta Christian's new quarterback is Beaux Hebert, the
son of former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Bobby Hebert. Aside
from the unrealistic expectations that might be put on the son,
Beaux Hebert also must replace the good quarterback GAC had
last season in Colton Chapple. "Beaux is more of a touch passer,"
GAC coach Ken Robinson told Brandon Brigman in this story for
AAAA schools the past 10
seasons (includes victories
won while schools were in
other classifications):
1. Marist - 115
2. Statesboro - 111
3. Tucker - 106
4. Rome - 99
5. Thomas Co. Central - 89
6. Westside (Macon) - 88
7. Dalton - 83
T8. Griffin - 80
T8. Sandy Creek - 80
T8. Ware County - 80
11. Starr's Mill - 79
T12. Cedar Shoals - 75
T12. Southwest DeKalb - 75
T14. Mays - 72
T14. Sequoyah - 72
16. Mt. Zion (Jonesboro) - 71
17. Upson-Lee - 67
T18. Brunswick - 66
T18. Douglas County - 66
20. Northwest Whitfield - 65
the Gwinnett Daily Post. "He brings some other things to the table
that you like about him. He has a poise about him. His teammates
really, really like him. He brings a sense of calmness to the
huddle."
