Who Are These Two Legendary Coaches? George Smith & Al Morrell

[OldSchoolLion 1,316]

In the southern part of the state, only 2 coaches have ever coached at the same school(head coach that is) for 25 years and won 225+ games and at least one state title at that school.

Who are they and at what school did each coach for that long tenure?

I know Paul Maecthle was out Southeast for 33 years and Joe Kinnan was out Manatee for 29.  Both won titles and have close to 300 wins.

I am talking south of there, Hwy 17, like the northern tip of Lake Okeechobee southward.

Joe Zaccheo was HC for 14 years at Monsignor Pace.  Good guess!

Good try, but no.

Think which team in south FL has won a LOT of games over the years.

George Smith of St Thomas is one of the answers!

Walt Frazier did not quite get to 225 wins at Carol City.
