Edgewood Academy’s Bobby Carr steps down as head football coach

Elmore, AL – The football team who is riding the nations longest active winning streak will be lead by a new head coach when they take the field in 2016.

Edgewood Academy’s Bobby Carr announced on Tuesday that we will be stepping down as the head football coach, athletic director and head baseball coach at the AISA powerhouse.

In his fifteen seasons as head coach of the Wildcats, Carr complied a record of 162-25 on the gridiron, including seven of the last eight AISA-AA championships.  On the baseball diamond he has lead Edgewood to five AISA state championships.

The Wildcats have not lost a football game since October 2, 2009.

Carr’s announcement, coupled with the recent resignation of Stanhope-Elmore High School head football coach Jeff Foshee has lead to speculation that Carr may be the front runner to fill the Mustangs head coaching vacancy.
