Lakewood grad McDonald celebrates 500th win at Florence-Darlington

Former Lakewood standout Preston McDonald reached his own slice of history last week.

The Florence-Darlington head coach won his 500th game on March 29 with a 5-2 win over Fayetteville Tech. It was a milestone years in the making and a number he was honored to reach.

"For me, it really just means that I've been there a while," McDonald jokes. "That's a long time to be at one place, and I'm really proud of the fact that I'm not out there looking for the next job.

"We've had a lot of good players come through the program. That's really who wins games. Coaches, they write the lineup, they coach in practice and let the guys play in games. I've been really blessed to have some really great players over the years that have won a lot of games for us."
