M<\/strong>ARK TWAIN <\/strong>once wrote, \u201cThe two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days before the first football game of his senior season, Fayetteville High School (FHS) running back Demarion McCrary was trying to find his why. Like most high school seniors, he was weighing his options. He had a couple of offers from colleges to continue playing football. But was that the right path for him? What degree should he pursue? Where should he go? All of that decision-making came to a screeching halt when his uncle, an assistant baseball coach for Fayetteville Middle School, passed away from COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His uncle was in his early thirties, with two young children at home. His death hit McCrary\u2019s family hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen the time finally came, I sat down, talked to my mom about it, and decided I was gonna go to the University of Tennessee Southern (UT Southern) and get my teaching degree, and I was just gonna coach,\u201d McCrary said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s exactly what he did. While working on his degree at UT Southern, McCrary is already following in his uncle\u2019s footsteps as an assistant football coach at Fayetteville Middle School (FMS). He even works under the same head coach his uncle did \u2014 Billy Jack Netherland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of surreal. Billy Jack has been around my family for a long time, and he\u2019s definitely got that presence of: he\u2019s going to push you to be great, and he always wants what\u2019s best for you and what\u2019s best for the kids,\u201d McCrary said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netherland and the rest of the coaching staff at FMS welcomed McCrary with open arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey just said, \u2018We\u2019re on board with everything,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cThey loved the idea. I was young. I could relate to the kids a whole lot better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCrary started playing football when he was just 6 years old. Always up for a challenge, he liked how the practices,\u00a0games, and skill levels constantly evolved. Initially playing for Lincoln County schools, he transferred to Fayetteville during his sophomore year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFayetteville was under new coaching staff,\u201d he said. \u201cThere were a lot of good things going on with the board and stuff like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team went undefeated through the regular season in his first year at FHS. But the Tigers were accused of using an ineligible player and were kicked out of the playoffs. After a supremely successful season, it was a devastating blow to the\u00a0players and coaches alike. But during his junior year, the team turned around and triumphantly took home Fayetteville football\u2019s first state championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He remembers his senior year. The season\u2019s start was rocky. They had lost a handful of talented senior players and were starting with a few freshmen who definitely didn\u2019t have the same experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI remember thinking that we weren\u2019t gonna be that good, and it was just gonna be one of those years where we were just playing to play, and it wasn\u2019t anything serious,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, FHS won game after game for a near-perfect season but ultimately lost in the playoffs. And just like that, McCrary\u2019s time as a football player was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining the unbelievable work ethic and drive that got him this far, McCrary wasted no time getting into coaching. He became an educational assistant at FMS after graduation. Then, he became the running back and linebacker coach for the middle school football team and was quickly promoted to offensive coordinator. He also took over the youth league that got him started in the sport over a decade ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe year before COVID hit, the league actually shut down,\u201d he said. \u201cOnce things started going back to normal [post-COVID], I contacted them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The then-owner of the league said he couldn\u2019t run it anymore and told McCrary he had moved on, as it wasn\u2019t something he was comfortable doing since the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018well, sign the rights over to me. I\u2019ll start it,\u2019 McCrary said, jumping yet another COVID-imposed hurdle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His first practices for the league\u2019s flag-football teams started this spring. Now, McCrary helps coach three football teams, and, as if that wasn\u2019t enough, he\u2019s also taken on coaching three league cheer teams. He\u2019s hoping to instill the lessons he\u2019s learned from years in football to the young athletes he coaches now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[While] playing football, there\u2019s always gonna be bad days, but the good days always come after the bad,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCrary was given that advice by his coach, Kenny Morrison, when he fractured his ankle during his senior season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe helped me see that the bad days are only the small parts of how good the good days are gonna be,\u201d McCrary said. \u201cIt\u2019s just stuck with me ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that once he completes his education degree (hopefully early), he wants to teach third grade and land a head coaching role, advancing from middle school to high school to college football teams one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If one thing\u2019s clear, through the many wins and losses, McCrary won\u2019t back down from a challenge. Carrying the wisdom and experience of his uncle and his own coaches, the up-and-coming coach is passing along a legacy of hope, resilience, and belonging to hundreds of young athletes in Middle Tennessee.
