Amos McCreary last 10 years, Georgia 6A
86-43
and 1 state runner up finish

“Beating Northside Warner Robins when they were ranked sixth in the nation, that was a big victory, but there were a lot of big games that we played here,” said McCreary. “That was the first time Starr’s Mill had been beaten in the county. To beat someone with Coach (Mike) Earwood’s caliber let our kids know they could play at that high level.”

Amos has really never known losing on a football field. In his whole career, from when he started playing at 6 years old through the end of this season, he’s only seen three losing seasons.

“That spans over 50 years. When you’ve only had three losing seasons, you’ve had a silver spoon in your mouth because it could very easily have gone the other way several times,” he said. “It’s just been a great career.”

As meaningful as the on-field wins are, there is another measure of success that makes McCreary beam.

“One of the most fun things for any coach is when you see a kid able to live their dream and go on to college,” said McCreary, who had more than 100 players sign scholarships during his head coaching days. “That’s 100 victories right there. That’s a lot of fun.” -Fayette News
