Chandler CurtisChandler Curtis has been playing football in Gordon County all his life, but this summer he literally found himself having to play catch-up to get ready for his senior season.
Curtis was a very productive player the past two seasons at Gordon Central, starting at receiver and cornerback while also excelling on special teams, but heavy graduation losses by the Warriors led him and his family to make a difficult decision to transfer to Calhoun High.
Not only did the speedster (4.4 in the 40) want a shot at winning a state title in his final season, but he also wanted to become more than a speck on the recruiting radar.
But this is Calhoun, where freshmen need almost a full season just to get accustomed to the speed of the team’s college-like practices. The transition isn’t an easy one.
