Georgia Notebook: Stephens still working out kinks despite 6-game winning streak

Despite winning each week since the season opener, Stephens County coach Travis Noland continues to stress that his team is a work in progress.

Noland’s point was only highlighted in the wake of last week’s 25-14 victory over White County. Despite the win, the talk around Toccoa was that it wasn’t as crisp as it should be. Even in the victory, the Indians could have tacked on more if they hadn’t dropped a touchdown catch in the end zone, or an interception for a touchdown.

“A lot of people around here thought it was an ugly win,” Noland said. “But as coaches, we felt like we played one of the better games all year.”

The Indians have won six straight, and are 6-1 and 3-0 in Region 8-AAA, their only loss to Class AA No. 6 Elbert County, a one-point defeat in The Granite Bowl. Yet Noland continues to point to correcting dropped passes and the healing of injuries like the hip injury that knocked kicker Matt Moon out two weeks ago against Chestatee.
