Conway High School will be looking for a new head football coach.

The school let go of Carlton Terry this week after six seasons as head coach, according to a report from Ian Guerin of My Horry News.

Terry, a former Conway standout, was an longtime assistant coach for the Tigers under Chuck Jordan before replacing him as the school’s head coach in 2017. Conway went 4-7 this season and lost 48-0 to Summerville in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs.

Terry had a 24-34 overall record at Conway, with his best year coming in his first season in 2017. The Tigers went 10-2 that year, won the Region 6-5A championship and made it to the second round of the playoffs.

Terry was making $78,681 annually for his coaching and teaching duties at the school, according to a salary database compiled by The State newspaper.

Conway is the third Grand Strand football coaching opening, joining Georgetown and Green Sea Floyds.
