During my TV life in Pennsylvania, George Curry was one of those head coaches you loved to hate. George was a tough old bird, who didn't shy away from "mixing it up" with the media. Covering Lehigh Valley football in the early 90's meant that the road to any state championship went right through the tiny town of Berwick, and that meant dealing with King George.
Today, I want to congratulate Coach Curry for quite a milestone...he coached his 400th victory from night when Wyoming Valley West beat Williamsport 41-7.
Curry is now one of only four active coaches in America in victory. At the head of the class is Summerville (SC) head man of 50-plus seasons, John McCissick who owns 547 wins heading into this weekend's game against Goose Creek. The other two head coaches with working with 400-plus wins are John Curtis, Jr. at John Curtis Christian (River Ridge, LA) and Larry Campbell of Lincoln County (Lincolnton, GA), who was the last the enter the exclusive club before Curry.
