Archbishop Molloy High School

From 1958-2012, the head coach of both the baseball and basketball programs at Molloy was former minor-league pitcher Jack Curran. He succeeded Lou Carnesecca in that dual role; Carnesecca went on to become better known as the head basketball coach at St. John's University. Molloy has sent several high-profile alumni to the NBA, but its record of grads in baseball is also respectable.
