Jimmy Teague | Reidsville

Jimmy Teague has jumped around to many NCHSAA Member Schools and even to the collegiate ranks, but one thing has been a common denominator at all his stops, winning. Teague started his coaching career in 1979 and just hung up his whistle in January of 2023 following another run to the State Championship Game in Football for his Reidsville Rams. Teague’s 1980’s football team at Pine Forest finished the regular season undefeated and was the only Pine Forest team to accomplish that feat in the last 33 years. He is responsible for the only conference championship in Garinger High School in the last 23 years in football, the 1990 Conference Championship that saw Teague selected as Conference Coach of the Year.

Perhaps Teague’s biggest impact has been at Reidsville, where he led the Rams to eight State Championships, numerous Conference Championship and was Conference Coach of the Year more than ten times. He has served Past President of the NC Football Coaches Association and been active with Fellowship of Christian Athletes as an Area Director for Rockingham and Caswell Counties. He finished his career with 374 wins and just 111 losses through a 36-year career.
