Trojan Footbaii Coach/AD Among
Finalists For Spartanburg, S.C. Job
BY JOHNNY CRAIG
West Brunswick head football coach and athlctic
director Marshall Seay is among five Finalists for a sim
ilar position at Boiling Springs High School in
Spartanburg, S.C., it was announced last week.
Seay, the winmngest football coach in West
Brunswick history with a five-year record of 34-19, is a
native of Spartanburg and a 1974 alumni of 4-A Boiling
Springs where he lettered in three sports.
The announcement came amid rumors that began as
early as December that Seay was contemplating the
move.
While some 40 candidates applied for the Boiling
Springs job, five were interviewed List weekend includ
ing Seay and Wofford College coach Steve Satterfield,
brother of Furman University head coach Jimmy
Satterfield.
Ironically enough, Seay is one of the top candidates
for the position even though he never officially applied.
'They (Boiling Springs) called me during Christmas
and wanted to discuss the position with me," said Seay.
"I had an official interview last week. They have nar
rowed ihcir choicc down to five people."
"Four of their last five head coaches have resigned
under pressure. It is a tough situation to win in and we
all know how important winning is to a coach's
longevity," R-.VJcd Seay.
Two-year head coach Bruce Hill was the latest
Bulldog grid leader to resign in November after his
teams recorded back-to-back winlcss campaigns.
Boiling Springs competes in Region II of the South
Carolina prep 4-A ranks. According to college scouts
Seay has spoken with, some of the best football in the
southeastern United States is played in the region. And
if competition alone doesn't make the job difficult.
Boiling Springs has a student body of only 1,500 com
pared to the other region schools that boast an enroll
ment of 2,500 students.
"Boiling Springs was highly competitive in athletics
until 1979 when they jumped from the 3-A classifica
tion to the 4-A ranks. Except for three straight years in
the mid-1980s, the Bulldogs have not been able to com
pete on the 4-A level."
It was during those three succcssful seasons that Seay
served as offensive coordinator and strength coach at
Boiling Springs. The Bulldogs reached the South
Carolina state playoffs and defeated 4-A powers
Northwestern and Gaffncy.
"There have been no deals made," said Scay. "1 have
reachcd no concrete agreement with the Boiling Springs
administration. When and if an agreement is reached,
my players will be the first to know. Whatever happens,
I very much appreciate the confidence that the Boiling
Springs community has in me and I wish them the best
of luck in their search."
Seay has the endorsement of at least one Boiling
Springs official.
"Coach Scay was a winner when he played at Boiling
Springs. He was a winner when he coached here and
has built a solid program at West Brunswick," said
Todd Turner, president of the Tanner Foundation, a
football booster organization for the school. "We want
him back at Boiling Springs as our next football coach.
"All of our civic leaders have come together and
have met with the school administration on this issue.
We want Coach Scay to know that if he will accept this
challenge, he woul'l have tremendous support," added
Turner.
A decision regarding Scay's future is expected within
the next two weeks.
"The administration at Boiling Springs is full of new
faces, many of which do not know me personally. They
have a definite selection process that they are using,"
said Seay.
During his five-year tenure at West Brunswick, Scay
has declined job offers at two nearby 4-A
schools ? Wilmington Hoggard and Mullins, S.C.
Scay guided the Trojans to a Waccamaw 2-A
Conference championship in 1988 and a 10-2 record. It
was West Brunswick's first league title and first state
playoff appearance in eight years. The team also
equalled a school single-season record 10 wins.
The Trojans advanced to the playoffs again in 1989
after winning their sccond straight Brunswick County
championship.
Scay's first Trojan team in 1986 compiled a 5-5
record. West Brunswick improved to 7-3 in 1987 and
went 6-4 last fall.
