Lee Shaw, who built winning programs at Rabun County and Flowery Branch, is the new coach at Metter, taking over for Rodney Garvin.
Shaw has spent the past three seasons at Lakeview Academy, which moved from the GHSA to the Georgia Independent School Association in 2022. He won five region titles at Rabun County from 2012 to 2018 and had six 10-win seasons at Flowery Branch from 2002, when he started the program, to 2011.
Shaw is the father of Wayne County coach Jaybo Shaw, who succeeded Lee Shaw at Rabun and took the Wayne job last year. Wayne County and Metter are southeast Georgia schools about 65 miles apart. Both are known for their up-tempo spread offenses.
Metter had its greatest success under Garvin, whose five-year record was 52-12. Metter won region titles and reached the state quarterfinals or better each of the past four seasons. The 2022 team was 9-4 and made the Class A Division I quarters.
Garvin was hired as Vidalia’s coach in November.
