Hanahan High School’s next football coach has won better than 72 percent of his games in three Peach State stops as a head coach, including one state championship.

Milan Turner has certainly been around a lot of winning football going back nearly three decades.

Counting his time as an assistant coach in the mid-1990s, Turner has been on the sideline for six state championship games with five programs. Two of those won it all in Georgia, where he’s coached his whole career until now.

“We are elated to welcome Coach Turner to the Hawk family,” Hanahan High Principal Tom Gallus said. “Our community is very fortunate to have a coach of this caliber to lead and develop our student-athletes on and off the field. Coach Turner is a proven educator and leader. He knows what it takes to build a successful high school football program and to ensure that each student is prepared for their next steps after high school. I look forward to serving alongside Coach Turner and seeing our Hawks shine under the Friday night lights.”

Most recently, though, Turner was on the college level for one season, serving as the director of high school relations for the Georgia Southern football program.

Before Georgia Southern, where he earned his undergraduate and Master’s degrees, Turner compiled a 112-43 mark over 13 seasons as a head coach for three Georgia programs: Emanuel County (2005-10), Thomson (2011-13) and Veterans (2018-21). Turner’s teams won 65 games in six seasons at Emanuel, claiming the Class A crown in 2007 and finishing runner-up in 2008. He was 24-10 at Thomson and 23-21 at Veterans, both marks skewed heavily by one rough season.

In between Thomson and Veterans, Turner was on staff at Coffee High School for four seasons. Coffee was the Class 6A runner-up in 2017. He was also an assistant for the Class 4A state champion at Warner Robins in 2004 and played for state titles as an assistant at 2A Fitzgerald in 2000 and 2A Screven County in 1994.

Turner takes the reins from interim coach Steve Blanchard, who guided the Hawks for most of the season after Art Craig stepped away mid-season and eventually retired.

Last fall, Hanahan started off 6-1 and dropped three straight to finish 6-4 after a first-round playoff loss to Brookland-Cayce.

“First, I would like to thank Coach Clay Helton and Georgia Southern University for the incredible opportunity I had to serve this year on the football staff,” Coach Turner said in a statement released by HHS. “I want to also thank Principal Tom Gallus, Athletic Director Kim Joseph, the search committee, and the Berkeley County Board of Education for this incredible opportunity to be a teacher and head football coach at Hanahan High School. I am extremely excited for the future of our school and athletic program. I cannot wait to get to work with our team and to meet the Hanahan community.”

HANAHAN, S.C. (WCSC) - After being reelected for another term on Tuesday, Hanahan Mayor Christie Rainwater is already preparing for the next four years.

In this year’s election, no opponents ran against Rainwater, which she says was a relief to not sit on the edge of her seat and worry about winning or not.

“I feel like the residents of the city have seen the work I’ve put in, and they want that to keep going,” she says. “They want the momentum to continue, and no one ran against me. I’m able to really continue keeping that momentum going.”

The Hanahan City Council and school board members were all reelected on Tuesday, and the mayor says will continue as a strong partnership because of the established relationships.

Similar to the rest of the Lowcountry, Hanahan continues to grow. Rainwater focused on building economic development and recreation in the area by adding two new parks over the last four years.

“Really bringing this quality of life to the residents is what we’ve been doing over the past four years and will continue to do over the next four,” she says.

As for the upcoming four years, the mayor really wants to focus on flooding concerns, more economic growth and additional housing for the community. She also mentioned that the Lowcountry Rapid Transit plans include four stops that will positively impact Hanahan.

“We are really looking at our specifically downtown area and how can we allow for housing that will work for everyone,” Rainwater says. “We have changed the ordinances over the past few years that will allow for us to build up a little higher and bring that in.”

The mayor also expressed that Hanahan has a small-town feel despite being the seventeenth-largest city in South Carolina.

“I like to say I bleed blue and orange,” she says. “Hanahan is the heart of the Lowcountry. When you look at its location, you’ve got downtown Charleston, Summerville, Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, and right in the heart, you’ll find Hanahan. The truth is, it’s not just because of its location; the people in Hanahan are so special.”

HANAHAN, S.C. (HOLY CITY SINNER) — Press Release

SeamonWhiteside (SW+), a full-service site design firm throughout the Carolinas, is nearing completion of the brand-new Hanahan Recreation Complex.

This multi-use recreation project is the first to open since the City of Hanahan’s large population growth over the last several years and is a much-needed addition to the community.

The new complex located in Hanahan off of Henry Brown Boulevard and adjacent to Bowen’s Corner Elementary School, will bring great value to the City’s residents and the Berkeley County School District with many added facilities and recreational uses.

SeamonWhiteside is the lead consultant on this $12M+ project and has worked closely with the City of Hanahan since 2016.

The firm provided Programming/Master Planning, Budgeting Assistance, CDs, Permitting, Bid Administration and Procurement, and Construction Administration.

The complex will offer dog parks, walking trails, courts for tennis, volleyball, and basketball, a playground, a multi-purpose recreation building, public parking, restrooms, picnic areas including a covered pavilion, and synthetic and natural sports fields.

“The project is nearing the finish line, and we can’t wait for the City of Hanahan residents to experience what we’ve been working on over the last several years. Located just steps away from Bowen’s Corner Elementary School, this will be a convenient and accessible resource for the community,” says Jennifer Palmer, Director of the SeamonWhiteside Summerville Office. “A fun fact about this project was the property used to be owned by the Federal Government Joint Base Charleston and was part of an old blast zone for testing missiles. All of the natural wetlands remain undisturbed and we utilized a timber bridge, designed by York Bridges, with a very natural park-like aesthetic for the road crossing spanning the wetland to join the two sides of the complex. It is thrilling to see it all come to life and I cannot wait to see it being utilized by the community.”

SeamonWhiteside worked closely on this project with Southeastern Surveying, ECS, Critical Systems Engineering, McSweeney Engineers, and architect Chris Karpus.

The Hanahan Recreation Complex began construction in June 2021 and is now nearing completion, with an expected finish and open date in early 2023.

Year after year, Hanahan High School’s softball program produces players equipped to make a jump to the next level.

The latest is shortstop Brooke Jones, who has started at shortstop for the Hawkettes since eighth grade. The senior infielder is headed to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi after graduating near the top of the 2023 class in the spring. Hanahan softball coach Katrina Moffett praised Jones for being the consummate high school athlete.

“We always talk about the most important thing is being a student before being an athlete,” Moffett said. “She’s around number six in her class. She’s a leader to the younger girls in the program and loves giving back. She’s the first to volunteer. Hands down, she’s one of the best kids all-around I’ve had the opportunity to coach. She goes above and beyond.”

Jones impresses on the diamond, too. The two-time all-state selection batted .385 last spring and drove four pitches out of the park as the Hawkettes captured their seventh straight region crown. Jones tripled five times, scored 33 runs and knocked in 20 more.

“She’s held down shortstop over the years,” Moffett said. “She’s a great vocal leader and a very dependable fielder. We can count on her to make tough plays. She’s able to hit for power and average and also lay down a bunt and leg it out.”

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi is a NCAA Div. I program that competes in the Southland Conference.

First-year coaches Johnny Waters and Milan Turner unveiled their football teams for the first time this season Aug. 18. Each can trace their squad’s opening victory celebration back to a running back loading the team on their back and carrying them across the goal line.

Sophomore running back Jeremiah Singleton carried 29 times for 268 yards and scored three touchdowns to power Waters’ Northwood Chargers past visiting Greenwood Christian, 28-26, in a non-region SCISA contest. The win ended a 29-game losing skid for the Chargers, who turned to Waters to right the ship before the season. Also for the Chargers, quarterback Austyn Grady threw for 172 yards, including a 35-yard scoring hookup with Rhett Hill. Aydan Hogan led with 71 yards receiving.

Waters, formerly of First Baptist, said the home crowd brought a lot of energy to help his team push through sweltering heat that led to plenty of cramps on both sides.

“For a team that hasn’t won in four years, this place was packed,” Waters said. “They’ve been great. The support here has been incredible. This is still a young team. We only started one senior on offense and two on defense… We’ve got a lot of things to clean up but the potential is there.”

The Chargers led 28-7 following Singleton’s third touchdown with better than eight minutes remaining in the third quarter but Greenwood Christian kept battling and pulled within two points in the fourth quarter. Northwood’s defense had to make a stop on a 2-point try and another stop inside its own territory to preserve the victory.

“We tried to give it to them,” Waters said. “We haven’t won a game in 1,400 days they just told me. It kind of felt like the demons were coming back. Just to hang in there was huge for us. It was an ugly game but we gutted it out and I’m proud of them for that.”

Singleton carried it on every play during Northwood’s final drive to salt the game away. The Chargers ended it inside Greenwood Christian’s 10-yard line.

“We just told him, and the linemen, we’re going to put the ball in your hands and just pound it,” Waters said. “That drive was huge for us.”

Senior running Kevon Rivera had an even better night for Turner’s Hanahan Hawks, toting the rock 32 times for 331 yards and six touchdowns in a 45-34 victory at Georgetown High School in a non-region clash. Turner received the keys to the program last winter, taking over for interim coach Steve Blanchard. Hawks linebacker Jackson Stuckey returned an interception 10 yards for a touchdown and quarterback Julius Hippensteel completed 9 of 11 passes for 57 yards.

More Week 0 winners from the Berkeley County School District were Cane Bay, Philip Simmons and Berkeley.

With senior running back DeShawn Tompkins pacing the Cobras, Cane Bay averaged six yards per carry in handling the defending Class AAA state champions. Tompkins carried 13 times for 114 yards and scored once. Junior Bryson Johnson added 67 yards and senior Langston Rhodes scored twice on 48 yards rushing.

Philip Simmons erupted offensively in a 52-28 victory over visiting Andrews. Iron Horses senior backs KJ Asbury and Sherod Williams tallied 136 and 96 yards, respectively. Each scored twice on the ground. Junior quarterback Tavien Orellana added two touchdowns through the air, both to senior receiver Michael Spignardo. Senior receiver Troy Stevenson raced 35 yards for the other Iron Horses touchdown.

Berkeley quarterback Henry Rivers, a freshman, helped the Stags’ Eric Lodge also win his coaching debut in Moncks Corner. Rivers threw for four scores to four different receivers in the Stags’ 36-32 victory over visiting Timberland. Berkeley trailed 20-16 at the break but scored 20 straight points before holding on in the final period.

In other games, Goose Creek lost at South Florence, 54-14; Stratford fell to visiting James Island, 25-7; and Cross lost at home, 35-14, to Calhoun County; and St. John’s Christian coasted past The King’s Academy on the road, 41-18.
