06.15.11 - Dave Serrano named
head coach at Tennessee
 Former
Cerritos College baseball player, assistant coach
and head coach Dave Serrano has
been named the head coach at the University of
Tennessee, and will be introduced to the school on
Thursday. Serrano, who played for the Falcons
(1984-85), also served as an assistant coach
(1988-90, 92-94) and head coach (1991), has spent
the last four years as the head coach at Cal State
Fullerton.
"After an overwhelming 24 hours of events, I have
made the decision to leave a great program at Cal
State Fullerton to take on the challenge of
returning the University of Tennessee to a spot
among the nation's elite," Serrano said on the
University of Tennessee website. "While this
decision was not an easy one, it makes it a little
easier to say yes when you have an entire family
completely in support for you. We hope to be proud
and active members of the Knoxville community and
will work hard to give Volunteer fans a baseball
team that they can cheer on for years to come.".
Back in 1995-96, Serrano was hired as an assistant
coach for the Volunteers after working on the Falcon
staff for seven seasons. In his first season with
Tennessee, he was part of a team that advanced to
the College World Series and featured MLB players
Todd Helton and R.A. Dickey. In his two years with
the Vols, the team posted a 97-36 record.
But Serrano's life-long goal was to coach at Cal
State Fullerton and was brought in after the 1996
season to coach with longtime friend George
Horton, another former Cerritos player and
head coach. Serrano was an assistant under Horton
from 1997-2004 until he was hired as the head coach
at UC Irvine. He led the Anteaters to the College
World Series in 2007 before being named the head
coach at Cal State Fullerton. Serrano, who owns a
lifetime coaching record of 289-139-1, is a veteran
of seven College World Series and is one of just 11
coaches to lead two different programs to Omaha...[more]

Round by the Cincinnati Reds. Gaylord, the son of
Cerritos head coach Ken Gaylord, will report

whether or not he will return to Cal State Fullerton
for his senior year.
Gaylord, who led the Warriors with 12 home runs

team's starting first baseman. On the year,
Lewis & Clark posted a 38-17 record and advanced
to the NAIA College World Series. In his junior
season, Gaylord finished fourth on the team with
a .357 batting average with eight home runs and
