Scroggs reaches milestone

Anderson Independent-Mail

Friday’s win for Hart County was important because it gave the Bulldogs something to think about besides the previous week’s lopsided loss to Stephens County.

But it was also a milestone for coach Joby Scroggs, who tied Bobby Pate for 66 wins, the most in school history. In his ninth season coaching the Bulldogs, Scroggs said it was a “tremendous honor,” and he was humbled to achieve it because Pate was a mentor for him.

Scroggs worked as an assistant under Pate at Hart from 1987-93, and credited Pate for molding him as a coach.
