​Coaching Staff

Jamie Gilliand, Athletics Director

Johnathan Daniell, HS Baseball Coach
His playing days in high school were spent in the panhandle of Florida in the early 90’s. He transitioned into college here in Chattanooga at Tennessee Temple University in the twilight of their baseball program before finishing his collegiate career in Clearwater, FL. Coach Daniell’s experience was largely spent “on the hill” as a left-handed pitcher, but also at first base and outfield in his freshman and sophomore years. Since then, he has had several opportunities to plug in to assist at both the high school and travel ball levels.
“I look forward to working with you all and having the opportunity to guide your son(s) to a fruitful season athletically, as well as, personally on and off the field. Please reach out to me directly for conversations on how we can address items that should be addressed before the season starts.”
