Lee ‘Chief’ Carey was a manager for Bethel Baptist for nineteen years from 1974 through 1992.  His team won over thirteen hundred games and lost three hundred for a percentage of eighty-one percent.  His team won the Metro Church title and Central Atlantic Regional Tournament in 1984.  They then went to the National tournament in Moultrie, Georgia and finished ninth.  He was a believer in the offensive side of the game and the importance of opposite field hitting.  He managed to get the most out of his players.  Lee’s greatest attribute was to get the players to play the best they could at all times and the players believed in him.  Lee was a very religious man and a great leader both on and off the field.
