Former Roswell football coaches and mayors helped Roswell High School honor Charlie Horne, the head football coach for the Hornets from 1967-1974.
Horne was inducted into the Georgia Coaches Hall of Fame in June after 37 years of coaching. His oustanding record first at Roswell and then at Winder Barrow High was 128 wins and 81 losses in football. At Roswell, he compiled a 73-18 record, with state championships in 1968 and 1970. The first championship was especially sweet when his team went undefeated on the season at 13-0 and a Class B victory over Irwin County.
Two years later the team did it again, this time in Roswell's first year in Class A competition. A 12-2 record brought them a state championhip with a victory over Warren County. Numerous region and sub region victories also marked his tenure at Roswell High.
On the baseball diamond, Horne also had great success, going 170-70 lifetime and two state championships, in 1970 and 1971.
