“While the Cedar Grove Saints’ reputation is well-known in and around DeKalb County, we are pleased and excited to showcase this team’s talent to the entire nation,” Superintendent and CEO, Dr. R.

We know they will make us proud!”

Out of the past 25 consecutive games, Cedar Grove has won 24 of them with coach Jermaine Smith.
