Northside-Warner Robins coach Alligood resigns; two other new jobs open

Northside of Warner Robins coach Chad Alligood resigned Monday after three seasons and a 21-15 record.

Alligood took over a program that had gone 3-7 in 2019 at the end of a 27-year streak of making the playoffs.

Under Alligood, Northside returned to the playoffs in 2020, reached the Class 6A quarterfinals in 2021 and went 7-5 this past season against Class 6A’s third-toughest schedule, according to the Maxwell Ratings.

“It has been a great three-year ride and I would not change one thing,” Alligood said in a statement. “I go to sleep at night knowing I gave Northside all I had. And I really tried to make a difference each day in the lives of our players and coaches.”

Kaiser had been Tattnall County’s coach for 11 seasons, achieving that school’s only region title and 10-win season in 2010, and was on Statesboro's staff in 1996 and 2001-03, including the 2001 state-championship team.

Briefly …

T.J. Hamilton has stepped down at Gordon Central, his alma mater, after four seasons and a 6-34 record. The Warriors haven’t had a winning season since 2012.
