Coach Crowder shared, "In 30 years, I have been fortunate enough to coach great young men at some of the most competitive schools around the state of Georgia. I am so grateful for the relationships I have built with the young men, faculty, administrators, and boosters that I have met along the way. The excitement I feel to be the next head football coach at King's Ridge Christian School is incredible.
