Great article on future @SamfordWBB player @NicoleAzar3 who now holds the Gwinnett 3-point record after hitting her 326th three in the state champ game, breaking a record that Wesleyan grad Nikki Luckhurst @NL3training has held since 2004.

GHSA Mourns the Passing of Ernie Yarbrough

The Georgia High School Association is mourning the passing of longtime GHSA leader Ernie Yarbrough, who died Saturday, October 17.

Yarbrough began working with the GHSA in 1992 as a rules interpreter and served the association in several roles, including Coordinator of Officiating and Assistant Executive Director. He retired from day-to-day duties with the GHSA in 2024 but remained on staff part-time, continuing to share his experience and support the association.

As the GHSA associate director of girls flag football, Yarbrough helped guide the sport’s growth and success. He helped secure grants and expand participation across the state, creating more opportunities for student-athletes.

Yarbrough’s experience, dedication, and care for others made a lasting difference in Georgia high school sports. Those who knew him will remember his familiar sign-off: “Be safe out there”—a simple expression of the thoughtfulness and concern he showed others.

The GHSA community will deeply miss Ernie and the knowledge, commitment, and kindness he shared with its schools, student-athletes, coaches, and colleagues.

Kim Caldwell had to do a complete roster reset this offseason, but one person who stuck around through all of the ups and downs, incoming freshman Gabby Minus.

"Gabby was amazing. Every time we talked it was 'I'm all in, I'm all in."
