Lots of emotions. We’re sad that Dave won’t be with us. Excited for him and the next chapter of his life. But mostly grateful for everything he has given us. Johnson Athletics is a better place because of all he has given. I’m personally better because I can can call him friend
Dave Serrano will be stepping down as Head Coach of the Royals Baseball program.

After upsetting Regional host Lindsey Wilson to open the day and advance to the Regional finals, Johnson Softball’s NAIA Tournament run comes to an end against Indiana Wesleyan.
The Royals were one of the final 24 teams standing in 2026.

This team won 5 games four years ago.
If you build it. They will come.
Congratulations to @DaveSerrano11 and his Royal baseball program.
Far from the end of the road, the NAIA is WIDE open this year. Johnson isn’t done making noise just yet.
I’m so proud of these ladies. This program has made so much history. And they are amazing people in addition to being great players!! They did it the right way
Our season comes to end as we fall to Indiana Wesleyan in Columbia, Kentucky.
Thank you to all of you who supported us during this historic season! We couldn’t have done it without you all🩵
