Round 22: - SS - Casey Turgeon

Dunedin High shortstop Casey Turgeon became the school's all-time hits leader Tuesday night during the Falcons' 10-0 home win over Largo. The University of Florida-bound senior broke the record with his second hit of the game, allowing him to eclipse Brian Dopirak's previous high-water mark of 128. Dopirak graduated from Dunedin in 2002 and was drafted in the second round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. He is now with the Houston Astros organization. Turgeon now owns three spots in the Dunedin record book, Coach Tom Hilbert stated via text message Friday afternoon. The others are career runs, with 157, and career walks, with 133. Both records were held by Jake Rogers, who graduated after the 2008 state championship season and was drafted in the 29th round by the Boston Red Sox. Turgeon's numbers shatter both previous marks for runs (118) and walks (94). - http://suncoastpinellas.tbo.com/content/2011/apr/22/baseball-turgeon-becomes-dunedins-all-time-hits-le/areasports/
