MOULTRIE — The Colquitt County football team will hold a preseason scrimmage after all. The Packers have traditionally played a scrimmage against another school before the season-opener, but this year coach Rush Propst had trouble finding an opponent. But he announced on Monday that the Packers will play host to Miller Grove High School at 8 p.m. on Friday, August 10, at Tom White Field at Mack Tharpe Stadium. Propst sounded relieved to be able to schedule another team at such a late date. “We needed to play,” he said. “We need to play someone besides ourselves.” Miller Grove’s Wolverines hail from Lithonia in DeKalb County and play in Region 5-5A. The Wolverines made the Class 5A playoffs each of the last two years, finishing 4-7 in 2016 and 5-6 last season. Miller Grove was the region’s No. 3 seed last season and fell to Maynard Jackson High 14-0 in the first round. The Wolverines will play for a new coach this season after Lee Hannah was named to replace Justin Larmond, who coached the team the last two years. Hannah previously served as the head coach at Baldwin High from 2014-2016 and posted a record of 15-18. The Packers also will hold a intra-squad scrimmage at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 4, in the new indoor practice facility. Propst said there should be room around the field for fans who want to watch. The scrimmages will help prepare the state runner-up Packers for their season-opener, which will be held at 2:45 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 18, against McEachern at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
