Coach Riggins is excited to announce a big addition to the program’s coaching staff.  We hope you will welcome Coach Isom White with open arms to the program.  Coach White’s resume can be found below and we were lucky to retain him as he comes extremely highly recommended from multiple sources.  We know Coach White will continue the legacy of an innovative offensive gameplan for the Hawks this year and we look forward to getting to know him.  We are hopeful everyone will have a chance to meet and play under Coach White very soon!

As many of you have likely heard, Coach Legge is no longer a part of the program's coaching staff.  The decision to dismiss Coach Legge was solely at the discretion of Hillgrove administration and in no way involved the Booster Club.  

The focus of the Booster Club is to provide the best environment possible for our boys to learn and grow in lacrosse and as citizens of the larger Hillgrove community.   We will continue to work to ensure that the highest quality facilities and coaching are made available at both the High School and Youth levels. 

Our program will endeavor to find another coach who will advance the program as we continue to strengthen the game of lacrosse at Hillgrove. 

The Booster Club wishes the best for Coach Legge and is grateful and appreciative of his efforts.  Thank you for your understanding and continued support. 

Message from Hillgrove Hawks Lacrosse
Since March 13th 2019 at 3:30 PM all CCSD schools and facilities have been closed.  Please know that this means Lovinggood, Hillgrove and all CCSD facilities are closed to everyone.  Please do not use any CCSD facility for practice, conditioning or contest until told otherwise.  This includes "pick up" games, as well as individual training. 

Recently the NFHS and GHSA have introduced 3 phases to return to play.  Please see the information below sent out per CCSD.  The Hillgrove Lacrosse Organization will not return to play on June 8th regardless of the CCSD decision.  The bottom line is that no one should be on any CCSD campus without prior approval. We will make an announcement when the facilities are open and further instructions will be given at that time.   Thank you for your attention to this matter.  Go Hawks!

Message from CCSD Athletic Director
I know your staffs and kids are excited and ready to go following the announcement from the GHSA today in regards to a June 8th start. At this time the district is reviewing the recommendations and consulting with other districts to determine if Cobb Co. will in fact open our campuses for conditioning on June 8th. I encourage you to continue to preach patience as we assess and gather all the information needed to make a decision on a proper start and what is best for our student-athletes and coaches. Take care.
