The Dodge County High School (DCHS) basketball teams tip-offed their 2016-2017 season this past Saturday, November 26 in Eastman against AAAAA Wayne County. The Squaws and Indians both begin their season with new head coaches. This year Dodge County will also be in a new region and in a new classification. The Squaws and Indians will be in region 3AA with familiar foes: Bleckley, Dublin, East Laurens, Northeast Macon, Southwest Macon and Washington County. Other local non-region games are scheduled with West Laurens, Wilcox County, Telfair County, and Hawkinsville. The girls will be playing in the Antebellum Christmas Tournament at Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville on December 27, 28 and 29 against quality teams like Northside-Warner Robins, Veterans and Baldwin.
The Squaws welcome last year’s assistant and former player CaSandra Walker Hamilton as their new head coach along with new assistants Jermayne Hamilton and Yandel Brown. Coach Casandra Walker Hamilton served as a Squaw assistant for the past three seasons and was a former player under longtime Squaws’ coach Dick Kelly. Walker-Hamilton was part of three DCHS basketball teams that played for state championships. The Squaws were state runner-ups in 1984 and won state championships in 1985 and 1987.
