Trevor Williams has been hired away from Forsyth County as the new head football coach for the Grizzlies at Creekview High School in Canton, the Cherokee County School District announced.

A graduate of Sequoyah High School in Cherokee County, Williams most recently was defensive coordinator for the South Forsyth High School football team, officials said.

“Williams helped lead the 2018 football team to its third straight season of undefeated play at home and the fifth consecutive year of playoff eligibility,” according to a Cherokee schools announcement. He also was a special education specialist and credit recovery program co-director.

Williams has strength and conditioning certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association and previously was Forsyth Central High School’s football offensive coordinator. He also has coached baseball, lacrosse, and track and field.

He has a bachelor’s in physical education and health from Kennesaw State University and a master’s in education from Georgia Southern University.

“Creekview is a special place,” Williams said. “I want to continue to build on the foundation that has been set for the program and provide leadership and stability now and in the future.”
