move Chowan athletics to a new level. His
knowledge of the institution, athletics and the
tremendous network of local boosters that he is
acquainted with, will bring the needed perspective
to the action plan as we lay groundwork for
improvements to programs and facilities,” Morea
continued.
Holding a B.A. from Guilford College and M.S.
from the University of Tennessee, Surface joined
the Chowan team in 1970. After a four-year hiatus
as head football coach for Floyd County High
School in Floyd, Va, during the 70’s, he returned to
Chowan in 1979 as chair of the department of
health & physical education and defensive coordina
tor of football. He was named head football coach
three years ago.
“The football program at Chowan is now
poised to begin a new era,” declared Surface, “and
I have reached a point in my professional career
where I welcome the opportunity and challenge to
work with the administration of all sports offered
by the college,” he continued. “Chowan’s football
program has shed the junior college perception and
now stands ready to repeat and enjoy the success
and status it experienced as a two-year school, in
its new role as a four-year, NCAA affiliated
institution.”
Looking to a bright future for Chowan athletics.
Surface stated, “The traditions of the past can
become the building blocks of the future. I look
forward to becoming a part of the administrative
imit that will build those blocks.”
Surface’s new administrative duties will include
the marketing and operation of Chowan’s Helms
Athletic Center. “The task for our athletic program
is a tremendous one, and one that will be able to
utilize much of Dan’s expertise,” Morea added.
