NEWPORT – Cocke County High School has their man to anchor the Fighting Cocks baseball program.

 

Their man is former longtime Elizabethton Cyclones baseball coach Steve McKinney.

 

McKinney was hired on Thursday as Cocke County High School head baseball coach and assistant football coach.

 

McKinney comes to Newport following a 20-year stint at Elizabethton as an assistant and later as head coach, where he led the Cyclones to a 20-win season in 2004. The following year, McKinney took a position as an assistant football coach at Copper Basin High School, ironically a school that was near the beginning of Cocke County football head coach David Crawford’s coaching career.

 

“We are fortuntate to get a man with a number of years experience like this,” said Cocke County High School athletic director Larry Williams. “He’s going to bring maturity to the job and we feel fortunate to have him.

 

“We think Steve is going to contribute greatly to both our football and baseball programs,” continued Williams. “We look forward to working with him.”
