FCA Camp will be July 26th - 28th at West Georgia College in Carrollton, GA

Dalton Football Camp will be moved to Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, AL. The Catamounts will be leaving on Saturday, July 31st, and will be returning on Wednesday, August 4th. Parent's day will be Tuesday, August 3rd. Picture day will be Friday, August 6th.

Please note, due to renovations to the main dorm at The Webb School in Bellbuckle, TN, it was impossible to confirm completion of work by camp date. Therefore, Coach Land, based on recommendations of The Webb School administration, decided camp needed to be moved in order to insure the comfort of players, and organization of the Catamount Football Camp. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope this does not inconvenience anyone in any way.

Go Big Red!!

This day would not be possible without God’s grace and mercy. I am so thankful God allowed this opportunity to be a part of His will for me, and my family. This program is one of the finest and most storied programs in the nation. The position of Head Coach at Dalton High School, is one of the most coveted jobs in high school football, and will be treated that way. I am extremely grateful to Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Bartoo and Coach McClurg, for entrusting to me one of the great programs in all of football. The name Catamount is very unique. But, it’s not the mascot that makes this program special. It is the young men and the commitment they make, which differentiates them from just another football team. Discipline, sacrifice, and expectations are the three components which makes these young men, and our student body, winners on the field and off the field, whether in the classroom or in life. The support these young men receive from their parents, the teachers, the student body, the administration and the Quarterback Club is unprecedented. Our commitment, as a staff and as a team, is to honor that support with our effort, our leadership and ultimately our execution. Individually, as the Head Coach, I am beyond humbled and honored to be included in the list of coaches from Alf Anderson to Bill Chappell, Bill McManus to Ronnie McClurg, and most recently Adam Winegarden. As a product of this program, I bring to this job an experience, a lesson learned from each of these great men. Most recently, Coach Winegarden had begun to focus our attention on the complete player, being mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally prepared for the game of life. We will continue these commitments, ensuring that the Dalton High School football program gives back to our parents the best young men possible. Thank you and God Bless!!
