Metter’s Garvin takes job as Vidalia’s head coach
Rodney Garvin, who led Metter to 52 victories in five seasons, is returning to Vidalia as head coach. He was Vidalia’s defensive coordinator for 11 seasons before taking the Metter job in 2018.
Metter was 3-7 the season before it hired Garvin, who led the Tigers to a 6-4 record in his debut, then to four quarterfinals and two semifinals. Metter was 9-4 this season and lost in the Class A Division I quarters to No. 1 Prince Avenue Christian last week.
Vidalia was 16-15 in three seasons under Jason Cameron and 6-4 this season, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
