COACH OF THE YEAR

Shamalene Broner, Pasco

The Florida State Hall of Famer led her alma mater to its first state final. The Pirates fell 7-0 in the final to Lakes Wales. But Pasco won the region final against Groveland South Lake (5-2 in nine innings) and a state semifinal against Okeechobee (3-0). Broner led her team farther as a coach than she could as a player, only making the region quarterfinals once.
