Head Coach Bob Swank led Chamblee to its best postseason finish since 2007 in 2022 and achieved the program’s first consecutive playoff berths since 2007-09 this past season with a 4-7 campaign. Now, the Bulldogs have an opportunity to reach a third-straight postseason and match their longest playoff streak. Chamblee has been eliminated in the playoffs by the eventual state champ in each of its last two appearances. After falling to Ware County in the second round in 2022, Chamblee had to travel to No. 1 ranked Coffee last year and was served a 56-0 loss. Senior Ashton Bolston stepped up last year and finished with 10 touchdown passes for 1,339 yards and paced the offense with a team-high 437 rushing yards.

At receiver, Chamblee will have to replace the production of Triston Sizemore, who led the team with 52 receptions and seven scores. Junior Brock Ryan and senior slot receiver Joey David have emerged as primary targets this offseason and shined during 7-on-7 competition. Defensively, Chamblee will look to improve off the 31.4 ppg surrendered last season and will have a fresh wave of playmakers to lead the group this season.
The winning culture Swank has returned to Chamblee was made evident earlier this offseason with the hiring of Georgia High School Football Hall of Famer and former Baltimore Raven Jamal Lewis to be the program’s Director of College Recruiting.
