DMS Lady Saints Head Coach Josh Agee won his 200th game in his 14 years coaching at the school last week.

Agee said that while winning isn’t everything, it is certainly better than losing.

“Winning a certain amount of games was never a goal for me as a coach,” Agee told the Review. “I have always just wanted to win. After going 3-17 in my first season, all I can say is this program has come a long way.  It took every player and coach to get where it is today. Last year we finally made to the top of the mountain, winning the James C. Haile state tournament.”

Agee said he is fortunate to have the opportunity to affect so many young lives.

“Wins will come and go, and records will be forgotten, but I will never forget the memories that have been made with so many wonderful people,” the coach said. “My goal as a coach has always been to make a difference in people's lives.  I have always wanted to teach them about hard work, dedication, determination, being a good team mate, and having love for one another.  I have been very blessed by God to have this opportunity.

The coach said there is a long list of supporters who deserve his gratitude.

“There are many that I would like to thank,” Agee shared. “It all starts with my wife. She has been there through it all.  It's not easy being the coach's wife, but she has been my rock and my biggest supporter.  Next I have to say thanks to all of the players, it wouldn't have been possible without great players.  I have been very blessed with outstanding athletes.  I would also like to thank my assistant coaches throughout the years, for their dedication and help (Tonya Sullivan, Karen France, Courtney O'Conner, Justin Nokes, Justin Poteete, Cassandra Binkley, and Loree Hall).  I would also like to thank my brother, Joey Agee, we were able to coach together for about 10 years.  He was a big supporter and always someone I could bounce ideas off of.  I would also like to thank my administrators for their support.  Last but no least Coach Danny Bond for inspiring me to become a teacher and coach.  If he had not given me a chance to play the game that I love none of this would have been possible.”
