McKay, a former Shannon and Thrasher girls coach, is the brother of former Baldwyn boys coach Jason McKay. A vehicle driven by a Henry County, Georgia resident traveling north on State Route 41/19 near its intersection with Woolsey Road, collided with McKay as he and a friend, both on foot, attempted to cross the northbound lanes of State Route 41/19 about 11:45 p.m. Friday to get to the Waffle House, said Henry County police spokesman Lt.
