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

[OldSchoolLion]

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.

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.
