Heading into year four of the Chad Garrison era, St. Pius X looks to build off a down 2023 season as they aim to keep an 18-year playoff streak alive in 2024. St. Pius X has been the poster child of stability throughout the 21st century, making the playoffs in 21 of 23 seasons. In that time span, the Golden Lions have won 28 playoff games and made two finals appearances. The team will be led by senior defensive back and Division I prospect Hudson Taylor, who recently committed to play college football for Clay Helton and the Georgia Southern Eagles. Along with him, offensive tackle Charlie Nelson (6-foot-5, 235 pounds) looks to lead the offensive line. Nelson is a massive prospect that will help St. Pius X run the ball in its run-heavy, flexbone-based offense. St. Pius X will kick the season off on the road against Blessed Trinity, and will then host Lakeside-DeKalb in their home opener. They will then head into region play with a trip to Northview. St. Pius will then have a four-game stretch where the Golden Lions will be expected to win against Druid Hills, Southwest DeKalb, North Springs and Clarkston. They will then play host to rival Marist, a game that could decide the region. The Golden Lions will then play host to Lithia Springs before ending the season against Tucker, a game that will most likely have playoff implications and could be the difference between a playoff game at home or hitting the road for round one.
