The Cerritos College baseball program leads the state with nine
California Community College Athletic Association state
championships in their history. Wally Kincaid won six
championships, while George Horton won titles in 1985, 1987 and
1989. The first coach in Falcon history, Kincaid spent 22 years
coaching the team and produced an incredible 678-163 (.806) record,
which included 15 conference championships, 51 tournament
championships, seven Southern California championships and six
state titles.
From 1965-67, Kincaid led his team to 60-straight regular season
wins, which included a perfect 40-0 record in 1966. In 2010, he was
inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame and was
one of the inaugural inductees into the Cerritos College Hall of
Fame in 2012. Kincaid was also named the National Community College
Coach of the Century by Baseball America Magazine.
Horton, who played for Kincaid from 1972-73, served as the Falcons
head coach from 1985-90 and posted a 226-53 record with state
