STOCKBRIDGE — Rusty Strawn and Michael Standard have been competitors throughout their 40-year friendship.

On the golf course, even when they were teammates on the 1981 McDonough Christian Academy state championship squad and when they roamed the hills at what used to be Green Valley, they’ve always pushed each other. In the insurance world, they’ve vied for the same clientele in McDonough, with their firms located around the corner from each other on the Square.
