There’s something magical about the game of high school baseball. Under the glow of stadium lights or in the golden haze of a late spring afternoon, it’s more than just balls and strikes — it’s heart, hustle, and hometown pride. For the players, the coaches, and the fans filling the stands, nothing compares to the thrill of winning and behind every great team is a coach who’s given everything to get them there like Bibb County High School’s Head Coach, Kevin May.
Coach May has been the head coach at Bibb County for 8 full seasons, (plus 1 shortened season due to Covid). During his time at BCHS, they have won 202 games and 15 playoff series as of now.
Coach May shared saying, “I’ve been blessed to coach some incredible players over the past 8 years and be a part of something bigger than myself. I have had a great support system in the many assistant coaches that have been with me throughout the years. My players and I are blessed to have these guys in our organization that have had a great impact on countless student athletes throughout the years. We have had good coaches, but they are even better people that have helped transform the lives of our players. The value these coaches bring every day is worth so much more than the $1500 supplement they receive each year. I would like to give a special thank you to LA Goree and his wife Marely. LA has been here with me since day one in 2017. Without his dedication, love for our players, and his loyalty, we wouldn’t be having this conversation about 200 wins today.
Thank you to my wife, Nicki, and my beautiful daughters Monroe and Nixon, for always supporting the program and helping encourage me and our players during the adverse times that baseball season brings. You are the only ones that know the true sacrifice that baseball season brings. The thing that makes 200 wins special for me is all of the great memories I have of my players and teams. I remember everything from the first meeting in 2017 to the many highs and lows during the seasons. Winning isn’t easy and winning consistently is extremely difficult, what our players and coaches have been able to do together is truly special. I am thankful for all of the relationships formed and everyone that has played a part in this program since 2017, this 200th win belongs to you! ”
As the sun sets on another season of Bibb County High School baseball, it’s clear that the story here is bigger than just wins and losses. It’s about legacy, loyalty, and the love of the game. Coach Kevin May’s 200th win is not just a milestone — it’s a tribute to years of tireless dedication, meaningful relationships, and a community that rallies behind its team. From the first pitch in 2017 to the latest postgame celebration, Coach May and his staff have built more than a program — they’ve built a family. And as long as there’s a game to play, a team to lead, and lights to shine down on that field, the spirit of Bibb County baseball will continue to thrive.
