Football

 * Clint Boling was a prominent football player and athlete, when he first started playing for the Junior Cougars in middle school. During his first two years in High School, Clint played Tight End (TE) due to his height. As the years progressed, Clint naturally became stronger. He holds Chattahoochee's Squat Record of 525lbs. Chattahoochee's head football coach, Terry Crowder, noticed this change and moved Clint to the offensive line where he could excel. He was an academic athlete in 2004 and 2005, and during his senior year, he led his team to the playoffs. Clint also was All-Region and All-State in 2006, and also was ranked in the top 50 players in Georgia by the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.

Under Coach Mark Richt, Clint has started for the past three years and is now beginning his senior year as a veteran lineman and serves as protection for freshman Quarterback Aaron Murray. In an interview, when asked what it means to protect the QB, Boling responded, "...We’ve got to take care of him. We don’t have a ton of depth [at quarterback]. It is scary. If something happens to Aaron, we’re in trouble. But it’s kind of in our hands, so hopefully nothing will happen to him as long as we’re playing the way we can play."

DUI to Reckless Driving
On the early morning of May 14 2008, Clint was on Ga. State Route 120 in Alpharetta, Georgia when he was arrested for DUI. Authorities claimed he had changed lanes twice without signaling, and that was enough justification to pull him over. Although Clint denied drinking, he was taken to Fulton County Jail, where he refused any tests. Under the Georgia Athletic Association's conduct code, any alcohol-related offenses are met with immediate suspensions. However, only a few months, and two weeks into his sophomore season, after being previously arrested for DUI, Boling's charge was dropped to Reckless driving. After Coach Mark Richt was informed of Clint's charges being dropped, he happily reinstated Clint back onto the Bulldog's offensive line.
