Tri-Cities hires former Pebblebrook coach Woolridge

Tri-Cities has hired Michael Woolridge as its head football coach.

Woolridge had been Pebblebrook’s head coach the past two seasons. His 2024 team finished 6-5, the Falcons’ best record since 2021.

Woolridge was South Atlanta’s head coach in 2021 and 2022. He had a 22-3 record there and led the Hornets to a 22-3 record and two state quarterfinals finishes.

Woolridge previously worked at his alma mater, Hardaway in Columbus, where he took the program to three consecutive playoff appearances after a 10-year drought.

Tri-Cities, a Class 5A school in south Fulton County, was 6-4 last season under Rodney Hackney.

The Pebblebrook job, which opened in January, has not been filled.
