McEachern’s Jim Dorsey, the winningest coach in Cobb County football history, resigned Wednesday after 24 seasons at the Powder Springs school, where he won 219 games. Dorsey, 54, took over a program that hadn’t had a winning season in 12 years and built it into a state power, winning 40 straight regular-season games from 1986-89. In 1998, McEachern became the first Cobb school in 31 years to reach a state championship game.
