As a junior last season, North Hall High School (Gainesville, GA) tailback TJ Pitts rushed for 1,800 yards and 21 touchdowns on 184 carries, earning first-team all-area and all-state honors for his performance. Heading into this season, North Hall Head Coach Bob Christmas says his star tailback looks even better than last year.
“He’s doing fantastic,” Christmas said of his 5-10, 195-pound tailback. Christmas says Pitts runs around a 4.4 in the 40. “He’s been picked to be a preseason all-state performer. TJ is expected to be one of the most prolific players in the state. He’s had a great preseason so far. We’ve run an intense program during the summer. We work out from 7-10 am four days a week and he’s been there every day. He’s really been working hard. He didn’t go to any camps this summer, but since he’s already gotten some offers and has a lot of interest he didn’t really need to go to any.”
