Georgia High School Association issues repercussions following allegations of recruitment violations at a Snellville, Ga., school. Probation for a year included.
Shiloh High footballers could have just taken it easy for the past season. It won't count anyhow. Following months of doubts, inquiry and upheaval, the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) has decided to yank the only two wins that the team received in the previous season because three students should not have been playing. GHSA Executive Director Ralph Swearngin issued the directive on May 30, finding that the athletes were ineligible transfer students from North Atlanta High in the spring of 2011. Specifically, Swearngin's penalty letter says the students violated by-law 1.72c, which states: "A student-athlete transferring from one member school to another shall be ruled ineligible for one year because of 'undue influence' if it is …

The Georgia High School Association is expected to soon complete its investigation into alleged recruitment violations involving Shiloh High School football players.
The Georgia High School Association (GHSA) is wrapping up its investigation into alleged recruitment violations at Shiloh High School in Snellville, according to state sports officials. Ralph Swearngin, executive director of the GHSA, said earlier this week that the investigation was days from completion. In addition, there are several other schools that the association is looking into for recruitment violations. Swearngin would not name those schools, but said "this is an ongoing thing, and it happens probably three or four times a year where these allegations look like there may be something to it." In the case of Shiloh High School, it centers on the transfer of four students from North Atlanta High School to the Snellville high school…

Brian Montgomery has been the head coach for a little more than a year. He now is working at the district office pending an investigation.
Brian Montgomery, hired to turn around a beleagured football program at Snellville's Shiloh High, has been reassigned just one year into the job, according to media reports.

In taking over the reins of Shiloh's football program, first-year Coach Brian Montgomery faces one of the toughest rebuilding tasks in Georgia high school football with no returning starters.
Coach Brian Montgomery moves over from North Atlanta High School to Shiloh, where he faces one of the most challenging jobs in Georgia high school football -- rebuilding a 1-9 team that has no starters returning while installing brand new offensive and defensive schemes. And, oh by the way, Montgomery will have to do all that in one of the state's toughest regions, 8-AAAAA where winning is expected and state championships are frequent. For a coach, who has such a difficult road ahead, Montgomery is pretty upbeat. "I won't know how good we can do until they hit the field, but I think we can have a real good season," he said recently. Stacey Butts, president of Shiloh Touchdown Club, Inc., said she has confidence in Montgomery. "Our players …
