,mg- t Leff: Slugging out another base hit for SHA, Pam Paradis puts all her strength into that one swing. Below: With Mr lovanne's understanding and enthusiasm, softball is much more than just a sport. Spark behind a marvelous season Eleven years of practice, elev- en years of games, and eleven years of sweat added up to a lot of fun and winning. SHA's long- time softball coach, William lo- vanne, who steered his team to a phenomenal 18-4 season, an- nounced in May his decision to resign after more than a decade of giving, teaching, and caring. Every day after school from March to June, you could have seen Mr. I practicing with the team. He gave up his afternoons and weekends to mold fine young individual athletes into winning teams. As head coach, he exper- ienced many tense moments. One could remember times when there were two outs, runners on second and third, and SHA was down by one run in the bottom of the seventh inning. The SHA bat- ter and the opposing pitcher felt like they were the only two peo- ple in the world. As they were sweating it out, Mr. lovanne would keep a calm outside ap- pearance, letting his girls know that he would be proud of them Softball, 1986 no matter what happened. Kim Reilly, who has been coached by Mr. lovanne for three years, told how she viewed her coach. The team was like a family and he was the father. We're going to miss him a lot.
