FHS Baseball Coach Don Lorett Retires

Legendary Farmington baseball coach Don Lorett has retired, athletic director Rocky Moore announced today.

Lorett made his decision public after speaking with the baseball players during seventh period on the first day of school.

"What coach Lorett has done at Farmington High School, there's almost no words for it. Almost legendary status," Moore said.

Sean Trotter, a longtime assistant coach, will coach the Scorpions.

"The players know (Trotter) very well. There's many things that Coach Lorett provided for the program as far as a very good direction to go in. With Coach Trotter being right there for so long, he's learned everything that I think Coach Lorett could give him," Moore said.

"Of course he'll add his own new touches to it now, but I think the players are going to benefit greatly from Coach Trotter taking the helm and not really changing the system that much that here at Farmington High School has worked for a long, long time."

Trotter and Lorett are expected to comment tomorrow.
