SIDMAN — Legendary Forest Hills football coach Don Bailey died Sunday surrounded by his family at the age of 74.

A 1969 graduate of Forest Hills, he was a three-sport athlete that attended Southern Illinois on a football scholarship before graduating from California University of Pennsylvania.

At Forest Hills, Bailey was a teacher, principal and superintendent and made his mark as the football coach for 45 years — winning 375 games, 11 Laurel Highlands championships and 10 District 6 titles.

He was inducted into the Pennsylvania Football Coaches Hall of Fame, the Cambria County Sports Hall of Fame and got a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Football Foundation.

He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Diane and his sons Derek and Brandon Bailey — the current Richland football coach.
