Gulliver Prep girls’ basketball coach John Zambolla notches career win No. 300
It was hardly your average trip to Boca Raton last week when the Gulliver girls’ basketball team took on Saint Andrews High School.
That’s because, following a 69-50 win over the Scots, it became a milestone win for head coach John Zambolla as he notched career victory No. 300.
The Raiders, who improved to 8-8, blew out to a 39-22 halftime lead and coasted in the second half to the easy win. Zambolla improved his career record to 300-112 with 254 of those wins at Gulliver.
Zambolla began his career as the head boys’ basketball coach at Palmetto High School in 2002 where, during his four years, he led the Panthers to two district championships.
In 2008, he took over at Gulliver, where the team has won 11 district championships, one regional championship in 2014, and participated in seven regional finals.
In addition to helping 27 student athletes earn college scholarships, he was also named Miami Herald’s Coach of the Year twice, in 2009 and 2014.
