Don Suriano (Bolles) vs Gill Morales ( Gill Morales)
Don Suriano was another surprise victor in the first round. Suriano’s three state titles and resume of coaching arguably the areas most noted major league baseball player, (Chipper Jones) is a big asset going forward for Coach Suriano. Gill Morales may have an advantage of having two schools vote for him. That’s an honor well deserved for coaching two different schools to state championships.
