... and their 2nd year coach, Lenny Gregory, who came from Collins Hill (having won a state championship there) to take over one of the weaker programs in the state.
In his first year they went 0-10, which isn't at all unusual for Gordon Central. In fact, it was the 3rd year in a row that they went 0-10. But he implemented a much better off-season strength and conditioning program, actually getting more students involved. This year they went 4-6, and although they got beat decisively in some games, they played some good teams close in some games, too (lost to 8-2 Christian Heritage 28-20).
But, interestingly, under this year's new state playoff format for classifications A-AAA, and with there being fully separate private school playoffs and championships, Gordon Central actually snuck into the playoffs as the #30 seeded team out of 32. This is Gordon Central's first appearance in the playoffs since 2012 (they lost in the 1st round).
They have to travel to play the #2 seed, Dublin. But, hey, you gotta start somewhere, right?
Just further interesting stuff with what has been a perennial whipping post program who got a good head coach and it is showing already in his 2nd year.
