Taking over the reigns of a Gwinnett County football program in its teething years two years ago, some people must have thought Coach Nick Bach to be out of his mind. Prior to his arrival the program had gone (13-37) with no playoff appearances in the first five years of existence. To make matters worse Lawrenceville (Ga.) Mountain View made the move to Region 6-AAAAAAA in 2016 with the likes of Mill Creek, North Gwinnett and Peachtree Ridge.
In his first season the Bears went (3-7/2-5), but low and behold last season they finished (8-3/4-2) making the playoffs. One of the reasons for their success has been the development of two-way standout Blake Carroll. Carroll ended the season as the team’s second leading tackler with 75 stops. He also carried the ball 51 times for 398 yards and three scores.
“He continues to get bigger, faster and more flexible every year,” Bach said. “This year he will probably be an in-the-box backer, but make no mistake he is a smooth runner that can make people miss or run them flat over. I could easily give him 25 carries a game, but we need his intensity on defense.”
