Edgewood names new athletic director, football coach

Lizi Arbogast / The Herald Edgewood's players run out onto the field.

It did not take long for Edgewood to find a replacement for former athletic director Darryl Free and the Wildcats did not have to go very far to get their man.

Chad Michael will take the helm of the Edgewood Academy football program and athletic department, effective immediately. Michael leaves Macon-East Montgomery Academy, where he served as Associate Athletic Director, Offensive Coordinator, and Director of Football Operations.
