Here are all the other coaches that were nominated for Oct. 10-14:
Jason Tone, T.L. Hanna
The Yellow Jackets just clinched the top seed in their conference with a thrilling come-from-behind 14-13 win over previously undefeated Hillcrest in a battle of top teams. Hanna had to overcome a 13-0 deficit.
T.L Hanna was 10-2 in 2021, so the excellence continues.
Mark Barnes, Sumter
The Fighting Gamecocks just scored an impressive 42-21 win over Carolina Forest and they are now 7-1.
Sumter was 10-2 and reached the third round of the AAAAA playoffs last year. The excellence continues.
Ian Rafferty, Summerville
The former New York Jets offensive lineman has the Green Wave at 7-1 following an impressive 34-13 of West Ashley, a team that had lost just once.
Summerville, one of South Carolina’s most storied programs, is used to this kind of success. The Green Wave went 4-5 last season but it appears they have bounced back in a big way.
Drew Marlowe, South Florence
Marlowe is presiding over one of the state's top AAAA programs in 2022. The Bruins are undefeated at 8-0. They were successful in 2021 with an 8-3 record.
But armed with a Syracuse-bound star quarterback in LaNorris Sellers, they could be the team to beat in 2002.
Jeff Fruster, Daniel
Fruster is directing a burgeoning dynasty. The Lions are two-time defending AAA state champions and have won 32 consecutive games.
No one has challenged the Lions in 2022. They are setting their sights on a three-peat.
Don Shelley, Williamsburg Academy
This guy is a South Carolina Independent Schools Association legend, with nine state championships at Orangeburg Prep and Holly Hill Academy.
Shelley is going for a third act. This is his fourth year at Williamsburg, Shelley has the Stallions sitting undefeated at 7-0 following a 54-27 victory over Orangeburg Prep.
