LEXINGTON, S.C. — After recently leading River Bluff to the Class AAAAA state championship, head coach Mark Bonnette has been named the South Carolina Baseball Coaches Association Coach of the Year.
An Airport graduate who was a four-year letterman for the Newberry College baseball team, Bonnette has been at River Bluff since 2013. He had led the Gators to two previous trips to the state finals with the third time in 2023 being the charm.
The coach of the year award was presented to Bonnette earlier this week at the SCBCA annual awards banquet.
