Godby Looks To Turn The Corner

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While they finished 3-6 in 2023, the Tallahassee Godby Cougars hit the off-season with the belief that if they put in the work, they could start to turn the corner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bringing back the glory years of this program is something that will not come overnight. With a productive spring and summer, this is a team that has the talent to turn the corner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While last year saw the program play a challenging schedule, there were wins over Fort Walton Beach, Marianna and Pensacola Washington that gave head coach <strong>John Holston</strong> and his team something to build on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the 2024 season will see this team move into District 2-3A with Glen St. Mary Baker County, Live Oak Suwannee and Crawfordville Wakulla, their work will be cut out, but there is plenty of talent in the 2025 senior class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at some of those prospects who are expected to lift this program:</p> <!--
