One of the key coaches in high school football in northern New York is retiring.

Steve Fisher of General Brown is calling it quits after 43 years and 251 wins. 

"I've spent my life here. It's been a great ride for me," Fisher told Mel Busler Monday.

He is retiring from both coaching and teaching, and figures he'll most miss planning for games.

"Each day's different," Fisher said. "Planning for each opponent is different."
