VARNELL, Ga. — Whitfield County is known as a hotbed of soccer success — on the boys side.

While every boys program in the county has won at least one GHSA championship (Dalton alone has seven titles), none of the six girls programs have yet to break through.

That could change Wednesday afternoon when Coahulla Creek takes on Pike County in the Class AA championship at 5 p.m. at St. Pius X High School in Atlanta.

While it would be history making, the team’s appearance in the title match isn’t a surprise. Coach Shannon Coley’s Lady Colts are 19-3, the overall No. 2 seed and are playing their best soccer of the season, according to their veteran coach.
