Coach Berry takes over as head coach for the 2025-2026 season for the first time in his career. His coaching journey began at Oxford High School in 2016, where he helped guide the team to a State Championship victory. After graduating from Ole Miss, he spent five successful years at Lafayette High School, contributing to two North State appearances and a State Championship run. After Lafayette, he joined the Florence coaching staff for three years before being appointed head coach. 

A Florence native and third-generation coach, Coach Berry follows in the footsteps of his father, Coach Rob Berry, and grandfather, Coach Robert “Cooter” Berry—both legends in their own right. 

Coach Berry is joined by his wonderful family—his wife Lauren, and their two children, Vee (5) and Lilly (2).
