“Bobby is a Christian guy, and we wanted someone to speak to us who shares our same philosophies,” Boys basketball coach Burton Uwarow said. “Hopefully with the name of FSU, and them winning the national championship this year, it will bring even more excitement to what we’re trying to do.”
Creekside Christian Academy began in the 1970s as a school in Morrow. It moved from Clayton to Henry County in 2007, and now operates in Pinecrest Baptist Church. Since moving to Henry County, the school has grown from roughly 150 students to almost 700.
