Recently, we interviewed Dutchtown High School’s Boys Head Basketball Coach,
Coach Stafford. He acknowledged how confident he is this school year that our
boys basketball student athletes will have a good winning season. Three main
points come from the interview. We asked, what are the three qualities that you
look for in a varsity basketball player student athlete? “I look for a player who is
disciplined, not selfish and will be a team player. I also like working with student
athletes who are respectful to their parents. When a kid is respectful to their
parents, then I know that he will be good sportsmen. I also look for students who
are serious about their craft, self-determined, and who can follow instructions.
Secondly, we asked Coach Stafford what encouraged him to renovate our school
gym that now has a fresh new look? He responded that he asked our illustrious
principal, Mrs. Shaw if he could give the gym a facelift and she agreed whole
heartedly. He said he was so proud that she trusted him and she let him decide on
the design, colors and artwork. If you haven’t seen it since he upgraded the look, it
is a must see! Finally, Coach Stafford responded to the question, who do you look
to, to make big plays? All of my players. I expect all of them to play to their
maximum potential. When teams play us, they better bring their “A” game,
because we will be playing hard basketball!

DUTCHTOWN HIGH SCHOOL, Hampton, GA
Friday night, it’s Homecoming! The school is roaring with excitement and anticipation for the
big game against the Woodland Wolf Pack. Coach Myers was asked about the Homecoming
Game. He responded by saying that he is anxious to see how the Bulldogs will respond after the
loss last week, especially, a coach’s loss. This will be a test for the players, he says! Bulldog,
Tadarius Burton, a Sophomore Defensive Lineman is ready. He said that his personal goal is to
sack the quarterback and make sure no runningback gets past him in tonight’s game.
Tadarius Burton
Leading up to Homecoming, students enjoyed weeklong activities such as Twin Day, ‘90s
Throwback, Teacher Scavenger Hunt, College Day, and many more themed activities.
Dutchtown has been on fire since the Fox 5 Pep Rally last week. That was a great start to the
Homecoming celebration. To be victorious tonight would seal the deal!

As the Dutchtown Football Team was set to travel to Camden County High School for Friday
night’s game, we got a chance to talk to Quarterback, Kylan Epps. Here is what he had to say.
Kylan Epps, Quarterback
How are things coming along as you get ready to face Camden County High School?
It has been rough preparing for the game. We lost to them last year, but we won’t lose this
year,” says Bulldog Quarterback, Kylan Epps. Coach Myers has worked us hard this week.
How do you think the offensive line is doing as a group?
I think they have made progress. Coach Myers has made us more of a solid team. They will do
well as a group.
What’s going to be different this year?
The seniors’ mindset is different this year. We really want to win this game. That’s very
important to us. Also the team is dedicated to perform to the best of our ability. We have a One
Team mentality, something else that Coach Myers has instilled in the players. We’re ready.
Who are you looking to for big plays tonight?
David Dennis and DJ Montgomery, both Wide Receivers. They both will catch for touchdowns.
We’re going to win!

Head Football Coach Mark Myers, displays all of the attributes of a GREAT Coach. In his
second year at Dutchtown High School, all expectations are that Dutchtown will finish on top,
and that our football athletes will be leaders in the school. A recent interview with Coach Myers
revealed many things about him both personally and professionally. Coach was asked a few
questions and this is what he had to say.
Coach, what is your outlook for the Dutchtown High School Football team this season?
I feel that we are going to be very competitive this year. We have a lot of experience coming
back at all of our skill positions and our seniors have taken
more of a leadership role this season. Much
progress has been made from year one of my tenure. We will
be better offensively because this will be the players second
year running this offense. Defensively, we lost a lot of
players but we still return with a bunch of guys who made
some plays for us last season. Once again I think the defense
will be the heart of our team.
How do you feel about the team’s performance last week in the scrimmage versus Riverdale?
We played very well. We came back and looked at the film and saw that we still have a lot of
room to grow. Anytime you can shut out a team from scoring you are going to give yourself a
chance to win. Offensively we made some turnovers but showed ability to score very
quickly. We also got the opportunity to play some of our younger guys to get them some game
experience and compete for some roles.
What do you feel will be the key to accomplishing your team goals this season?
I feel that we have good players and we just need to make sure that we are consistent with doing
the right things on and off the field. I preach to our team about playing disciplined because it
was one of the things that hurt us last season. If we can be consistent and play disciplined then
the sky is the limit.
Coach Myers is very inspirational, an excellent communicator and is a fine example for his
players. Come out and cheer our Team to a Victory on Friday Nights! Go Bulldogs!
