FPD Sophomore Kendall Emener

Girls Basketball

Under the leadership of Coach John Griffin, the Lady Vikings continued to build their program and finished the season with a record of 11-11. Sophomore Kendall Emener was named the 2020-2021 Player of the Year in the Region. She averaged 14.1 points per game, 9.1 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks. “I was extremely proud of our team for the effort they gave and how they played through adversity this year,” noted Coach Griffin. The Lady Vikings graduate one senior, Lily Wakefield.

Wrestling

The Vikings battled every single match this year with seniors Matt Rose, Benjamin Jones, and Kaleb Black leading the team. The Vikings had several wrestlers qualify for the State Traditional tournament. Ethan Wilson and Griffin Green both went deep into the tournament, and Kaleb Black and Jackson Terrell had first round wins. “We hate to lose our seniors,” notes Head Coach Ken Garvin, “as they have really been a cornerstone for our program, but we have confidence that our underclassmen will fill that void next year. I am very proud of this team and all they achieved this year.”

Competition Cheer

Competition Cheer had a shorter season this year due to COVID precautions, but had exceptional routines at two regular season competitions, bringing home first place in the second meet. FPD hosted the Class A Private Sectionals on campus and achieved Top 8 for the third season in a row, advancing to State. The State Competition was hosted at Macon’s Coliseum, and the Vikings enjoyed representing their hometown. “This season I am most proud of how the girls continued to push through with so many changes,” notes Head Coach Jessica Murnan. “We had some very strong senior leaders who were devoted to finishing this major chapter before graduating. Next year, we have some new plans in the works for our routine and some talented girls returning.” The Vikings graduate Alexandra Brown, Emory Churchwell, Avery Kemper, and Ella Tanner.

Baseball

The Vikings were led by Head Coach Greg Moore who guided the team to a 20-10 season with three college baseball commitments. Hudson Mimbs signed to play with Kennesaw State University, Parker Ingram with University of North Georgia, and Barrett Barkley with USC-Upstate. Five members of the team were named to the Region 1-A All-Region Team: Hudson Mimbs, Barrett Barkley, Jackson Jones, Luke McCart, and Coleman Cauley. Looking ahead to the 2022 season, Coach Moore notes, “We return a great nucleus of players who were very productive this year. I love the direction we are headed, and I’m looking forward to a great off-season of preparation.” The Vikings graduate Barrett Barkley, Cameron Park, Parker Ingram, Hudson Mimbs, and Jackson Jones.

Coach Derek Lashley led the Vikings to a 12-4 season, making it to the Sweet 16 at State. “We lost some key seniors in 2020,” notes Coach Lashley, “but the guys competed hard in a very good region and made it to the Sweet 16 at State. I am so proud of them.” Thomas Johnson and James Rehberg were selected for the Region 1-A All-Region Team. The Vikings graduate Thomas Johnson, James Rehberg, and Noah Johnson. Thomas Johnson will continue his tennis career at The Citadel, and Noah Johnson advances to the collegiate level at Tuskegee University.
