McKissick Gets Career Win #600

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (AP) — High school coach John McKissick earned his 600th career victory Friday night, and Summerville’s players celebrated by carrying the 86-year-old to midfield on their shoulders. McKissick is in his 61st season with the Green Wave. He set the preps record with his 406th win in 1993 and collected No. 500 in 2003. John Gagliardi of St. John’s in Minnesota holds the college mark at 487 wins while Don Shula has the professional record with 347 victories. McKissick was swarmed by players and coaches once time ran out in the 37-21 win over Ashley Ridge. He got a kiss and hug from his wife of 60 years, Joan, and lifted up his great-granddaughter Emma Kate.
