Ken Sparks Ties Bear Bryant

((HT: Carson Newman their own selves))

And the HQ knows what you're wondering if you're not a big fan of college football that's not Division I...

Sparks is the coach of the Carson-Newman D2 juggernaut and his team beat Tusculum this past weekend...
Evidence below...


With that win, Sparks got his 323rd career win as a head coach and ties him for 5th all-time...

Here's Sparks talking about his milestone...

OSG High: McKissick Gets Win 600

((HT: WCBD-TV, Charleston SC))

He's 86 years old and is showing no signs of stopping...

John McKissick, the head coach at Summerville (SC) High, recently got his 600th career win for the squad in his 61st season of coaching...

Think about that for a second...

61 seasons... first-year would have been 1952...

Braves in Milwaukee, the last year of the Truman administration, the Lakers were in Minneapolis, and the Dodgers were in Brooklyn...

THAT 1952...

McKissick is 600-147-3 and has had only two squads under .500 THE ENTIRE TIME...

The HQ is pretty tight with the coach who is number three on the national list- Lincoln County (GA) High's Larry Campbell who, in his 41st season, is 466-80-3 (only 134 wins behind). The coach who is second is John Curtis with 514 wins at his own high school namesake in Louisiana... in 44 seasons...

Here's a post-game report live from Summerville...
