The Dobbs Ferry community is reflecting on the legacy of beloved football and softball coach James Mackenzie, known as “Coach Mac,” who passed away on May 19, 2006, at age 56. Since his death, Mackenzie has been celebrated with the annual “MAC Day,” in the fall, at Dobbs Ferry High School.
Former player Brandon Brailsford remembers Mackenzie for his handlebar mustache and mullet, and the winter coat and khaki shorts he sported on the sidelines during cold days in November. Brailsford graduated from DFHS in 2008. Mackenzie was his head coach for modified football, an assistant coach during his freshman year with the varsity team, and head coach of the varsity team his sophomore year. Mackenzie led the Eagles to the state championship game during that 2006 season.
Today, Brailsford coaches youth football for seventh- and eighth-graders in Dobbs Ferry, as well as AAU basketball for teams of 11-to-13-year-olds in Elmsford.
