Escambia Academy head football coach Hugh Fountain won his 200th career football game on Nov. 4 in an AISA Class 2A quarterfinal victory over Evangel Christian of Montgomery.
The Cougars trounced EC 49-6 on the heels of running backs Kris Brown, Louie Turner and Patrick McGhee.
Fountain is in his fifth season as EA’s head coach.
Prior to coaching at the Canoe school, Fountain had coaching stints at Evergreen High School, W.S. Neal and Charles Henderson.
“I ain’t really thought about the 200th win, really,” Fountain said after the win last week. “You’d like to get it, so I guess we got it. It just means you’ve been coaching for a long time. I’m proud to get it for them so we can continue on in the playoffs.”
At present, Fountain sits at 200-120.
The Cougars play Clarke Prep Academy this Friday night in the semifinals in Canoe.
