NORFOLK, VA (WTKR)- Kendal Jefferson's first two years as Granby's head football coach have seen the program turn nearly a complete reversal.

The Comets have gone from an Eastern District doormat to contenders. After years of losing seasons, some of them winless, Granby finished 2023 with a 7-3 record and followed that up with a 9-1 regular season showing last year. Back-to-back playoff appearances were the result and now Jefferson and the program hope to take that next step after two straight first round postseason exits.

"Getting over the hump and winning the district championship," the head coach said. "That's the next stage now."

"District championship, that's the one," added senior linebacker and defensive lineman Javea Trotter. "Making it out of the first round of the playoffs."
