A look back at 2010, three months' worth of stories at a time. Dates are when story ran, not when event occurred.

January
Jan. 6: The Bryan County High School girls’ basketball team cracks the Atlanta Journal-Constitution top 10 in Class A. The Lady Redskins (9-1) are ranked No. 9 in the poll. “We’re in uncharted waters here, so we’re taking the underdog approach,” said coach Mario Mincey. 

Jan. 16: Ron Lewis resigns as BCHS football coach after 12 seasons on the job. The Redskins were 1-9 in 2009 and 28-92 during Lewis’ tenure. “I’ve just decided to follow other professional goals right now,” he said. “I should have my doctorate in leadership in June, and I’m hoping to move into administration.” Lewis also said he would step down as athletic director at the end of the school year.
“It’s no secret that Coach Lewis’ record was not stellar during his time here, but he has built a good athletic program,” BCHS principal Harold Roach said. “We’ve done a lot of good things in his time here. I appreciate his hard work and his loyalty to the school. I appreciate all the things he has done in helping kids and I think the betterment of these kids has always been his ulterior motive through everything he has done.”

Jan. 30: The Richmond Hill High School “Mat Cats” wrestling team takes second in the eight-team Mark Toomey Invitational Tournament at Groves, a day after beating both Southeast Bulloch and Brunswick at home.

February
Feb. 3: The Richmond Hill High School girls’ basketball team improves to 15-5 overall and 8-2 in Region 3-AAA after three straight wins and 69 points from star senior Tyler Carlson.
