ALL-USA BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM COACH OF THE YEAR: Sharman White, Miller Grove, Lithonia, Ga.

Why him? Coached his team to a state-record sixth consecutive title. His team rallied after the preseason death of freshman Terrell "Too Tall" Coleman, who collapsed during an all-star game. White has been the basketball coach and athletic director at Miller Grove since the school opened in 2005.

Coaching start: I began coaching when I was growing up in the neighborhood. My career ended a little short with injuries, but when that stopped my passion for basketball didn't. I started out as a volunteer coach and it grew from that.

(WXIA) -- Rain is in this weekend's forecast, but that won't stop Georgia Department of Transportation from working on scheduled road projects throughout the area.

GDOT District Construction Engineer Shun Pringle said the department expects more people than usual on the road, as school districts begin and end their spring breaks.

"Call 511 or look at a mapping website before you leave home," Pringle said in a statement. "Motorists, including spring breakers ... need to plan ahead to avoid delays."

The new flyover ramps on the Interstate 85/Georgia 400 Interchange project are open, but crews still need to perform a little last-minute work on them. Lanes will be closed in places.
