Flowery Branch High School athletic director, Jimmy Lawler, announced Tuesday morning that Jason Tester, the program’s current defensive coordinator, will be the new head coach for the Falcons. The announcement came immediately after Ben Hall shared with the team that he had accepted the head coaching position at Oconee High School.
Tester’s Georgia coaching career has taken him to Grayson, St. Pius X, Eastside, Brookwood, and Flowery Branch High School. In his home state of Michigan, he spent time at Grand Haven, Northview, and his alma mater, Muskegon Catholic Central. As a student and player at MCC, he was a 1990 state champion captain.

Tester came to Flowery Branch High School in 2018 as the program’s defensive coordinator. He left in 2020 to be the defensive coordinator at Brookwood High School, and for two games during that season, he served as the Broncos’ head coach. He returned to Flowery Branch in 2021, once again to lead the Falcon defense.
“Coach Tester is a man of character and has been a true asset to our football program on a number of different levels,” said FBHS principal, Dr. Jason Carter. “We are excited for our kids, the school, and the community.”
