Clarke-Oconee XC Championships ReCap
AAA power, North Oconee swept the team titles easily as expected at the Athens Christian course. The Titans have turned the worm in the past few years as the school has grown and the fine program excelled. Coach Moore does an excellent job and having coaches like Brady Sigler helping out has been a boon. (bada bing) It may be time next season to include Monsignor Donovan in the frey as the Jenkins brothers can definitely push tin..(GHSA issue)
