The quietest legendary coaching change you’ve ever heard of: Wilkinson County

          Aaron Geter Jr. resigned as Wilkinson County’s head boys basketball coach in April after 553 wins and 10 state championships. Hardly anybody in the state knew about it, the mentions of any change in the media can be counted on one hand, and nobody’s done a story on it. Until now. Coming Saturday morning in the Sports Report of Central Georgia.
Wilkinson County is Central Georgia’s lone remaining GHSA playoff team, and the Warriors have quite a semifinal task: undefeated Calhoun County, at 4 p.m. in Valdosta.
    “They’re 30-0, I know that,” Whipple said. “Quick, athletic guards, about the same (as us). Play hard defensively. We’re almost mirror images of each other.”
         The Cougars beat Pelham 70-53 in overtime in a quarterfinal, and haven’t had a single-digit win since 60-59 over Terrell County on Feb. 1, their ninth of the season.
         Calhoun County won the Class A public title in 2015, interrupting Wilkinson County’s streak. The Warriors have won five of the last six.
