It’s been a long time since the Oconee County Warriors have played for a state title.
Being a 2013 graduate, that’s all I ever heard about when it came to football. I never played and when I was in school the team was competitive, but not near where the program is today.
Recently, I attended my first home game back as an alumnus two weeks ago, when Oconee played Marist in the Elite Eight round of the state playoffs.
It was a totally different atmosphere and a lot of things had changed.
First off, the school had added another level on top of the field house and added a visiting teams’ locker room.
