📣Join us in celebrating this Rising Trojan! 📣 Ms. Cierra Reynolds is currently teaching sixth grade Math, but she is incredibly familiar with the hallways of Brooks County Middle School because it was not all that long ago when she was a student at 2171 Moultrie Hwy where she fulfilled her #pledge2graduate! We are thankful that Ms. Reynolds has committed to raising her own sons as Brooks County Trojans, coaching her basketball players to championships, and giving back to the very community that helped her to become the fantastic teacher she is today! “Ms. Reynolds has been a great addition to the 6th grade team. She is always positive and ready to learn and implement new strategies to keep her students motivated and eager to learn! I try to tell her often that I’m very proud of her! “ #SaturdaySpotlight #TrojanTeacherOnTheRise

📢Great Morning, Trojans! 🎉🏀Congratulations to our BCMS Girls' Basketball Team for going undefeated last week with wins over Brookwood, MacIntyre Park, and Clinch Co. Our MS Basketball programs are back in action Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday this week. 🎉🎶Congratulations to The Empire of Sound for its performance Saturday at the Deep South Band Competition. Please see the following accolades earned: 🏆Best In Class - Drum Major, Color Guard, Majorette, Danceline, Drumline, Band 🏆Excellent Rating - Drum Major, Color Guard, Majorette, Drumline, Band 🏆Superior Rating - Danceline This was after yet another outstanding performance in Ocilla Friday night. ⚠🏀👧Our HS Girls Varsity Basketball Team will open its season with a scrimmage at Valdosta Saturday night. Expectations are VERY high for the Lady Trojans this year! Good luck, ladies. 🏈Finally, we need to clear up exactly where we stand with football region standings as there is a vast amount of misinformation floating around. Clinch Co and Charlton Co play this Friday, the 8th, and it is of great interest to us. ⚠If Clinch Co beats Charlton Co, there will be a 3-way tie between Brooks, Irwin, and Clinch as all will have 1 loss. In that case, we win the region based on point differential. ⚠If Charlton Co beats Clinch Co, Irwin and Brooks will be tied at the top of the region with 1 loss. Irwin Co won the head-to-head matchup, so we would be the 2 seed. 🎉Either way, we will be hosting the first round of the playoffs on Saturday, November 16th. Time TBA. We all need to be Clinch Co fans this week so the playoffs come through Veterans Stadium. 🙏As always, thank you for all you do for our student-athletes!! #UN1TY🔗 #GoTrojans🔴🔵
