GACA Member Look inside for GACA News and Events

VOLUME 10

Message from GACA Executive Director

The first honorees will be Edgar Hatcher and Jimmy Johnson. If a coach has ever participated in any GACA function, Coach Hatcher and Coach Johnson were very visible. They coordinated all-star coaches and players, handled equipment, made sure the workers were organized, and provided endless hours of entertainment. There was never a time they were not ready to help and serve the GACA.

2021 GACA Lee Murray

Weight Lifting Championships

The Lee Murray Weight Lifting Championships originated with the GACA when Coach Lee Murray organized coaches in the off-season to help motivate strength programs to compete on a state level. Weight Lifting is NOT a GHSA sport and the GACA – Lee Murray Weight Lifting Championships are NOT a GHSA sanctioned event and does not require normal GHSA eligibility criteria. The events are insured by the GACA and require that each participating athlete have a current physical on file with the participating school. All rules and competition decisions in the event are final with the GACA and the Event Coordinator:
