Throughout his career, he has coached at John Hancock Academy, Georgia Military College, Georgia College & State University, Bibb County Public Schools, and previously at FPD. His wealth of experience, passion for developing student-athletes, and commitment to excellence make him a tremendous addition to our athletic program.

"We are thrilled to have Coach Griffin step into this role for us,” said Athletic Director Greg Moore. "He understands our mission, he’s a very hard worker, and our girls’ basketball players will really grow under his leadership."
