Stillman College Athletics Hall of Fame
Donny Crawford, Head Coach
One of the most successful coaches in Stillman College history, Donny Crawford amassed 272 career wins and seven Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) baseball championships during his 11-year career as Stillman College's head coach, from 2005-2015. Stillman was runner-up in the SIAC three times. His 272-236 career record is second all-time at Stillman for wins and win percentage. His nine-year streak of 20-win seasons from 2006-2014 is the longest in school history. The program's 32 wins in 2009 and 2012 matched the 1981 team for most single-season wins in school history, but set the record for most Stillman baseball wins in its NCAA Division II era. The 2012 team went 21-0 in SIAC action and collected the program's first NCAA DII Tournament wins, advancing to the South Region championship series.
The Tigers would then win the SIAC titles in 2007-2009 and 2011-2014; in 2010 and 2015 the Tigers would finish as runner-up at the SIAC tournament.
Prior to Stillman, Crawford was the head coach at Tuscaloosa area high schools Brookwood, Holt, and Tuscaloosa County as well as serving three seasons as an assistant at the University of Alabama. Since his departure from Stillman, he helped Gordo High School to a 3A Alabama High School Athletic Association state title in 2017 and multiple state semifinal appearances. He is currently head baseball coach at Lane College in Jackson, Tennessee.
