Another one of Northeast Florida’s top head coaches has decided his time as a head football coach has come to an end.
According to a post by Baker County’s football booster club on Facebook announced that Kevin Mays has stepped down as the Wildcats’ head football coach after six seasons at the helm.
Down below is the announcement by the football program’s booster club on earlier this week:
“Thank You, Coach Mays!!
Today, we say farewell to a leader who has forever changed our football program. After six incredible seasons, Coach Kevin Mays is stepping down, leaving behind a legacy of excellence, passion, and
dedication. With 10 playoff wins, four regional final appearances, one state semifinal run, and three district championships, Coach Mays didn’t just lead our team to success-he became the winningest playoff coach in school history. But beyond the records and the victories, he built a program defined by hard work, resilience, and brotherhood–one that will inspire players for years to come. Coach, thank you for your leadership, your commitment, and the countless hours you’ve poured into this team and community. You will always be a part of this family. Wishing you nothing
but success in your next chapter!
#OnceAFamilyAlwaysAFamily”
Mays over the course of six seasons had compiled an overall record of 39-21, including four region final appearances, three district titles and one trip to the Class 5A state semifinals in 2021. Baker County in ’21 finished with a record of 11-3, the best finish by Mays during his time with the Wildcats.
This past 2024 campaign was the toughest for Mays, ending with a 5-5 mark and falling in the Class 3A region quarterfinals in a 42-21 loss to Bishop Kenny.
