Kiwanis President Clint Backstrom and Coach Joey King.
Coach Joey King, head Football Coach at Carrollton High School, spoke to the Carrollton Kiwanis Club on the Friday (August 13) of his team's first scrimmage game against Rockmart.
From AJC:
Joey King, the coach who led Cartersville to two state football titles with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, is taking the head coaching job at Carrollton, returning to Georgia after two years in the college ranks. King was Cartersville’s head coach for five seasons, and his teams won region titles in each of them. He was the fastest in state history to reach 50 wins, in 52 games. King, a 2001 Cedartown graduate, was on Carrollton’s staff from 2008 to 2013, coaching quarterbacks and running the offenses, under Rayvan Teague before becoming a head coach for the first time at Cartersville. Carrollton reached the state finals in 2010 and 2013 when King was on staff.
