Over the past seven seasons coaching the Notre Dame High School boys’ basketball team, Jonathan Adams has left a huge mark. One which will be extremely hard to replace.

After taking the Fighting Irish to the program’s first state championship game in 2023, Adams will begin a new chapter after being hired as the boys’ basketball coach at Dalton High School.

“This is easily the hardest professional decision I have ever had to make,” Adams said in a press release. “I love those kids more than just about anything. I am very proud of what we have accomplished. I owe everything to Notre Dame High School and that will forever be home for me.”

Adams was a prep star at Baylor School and went on to score 857 points and block 92 shots in his college career for Old Dominion University from 2005-09.
