Remembering Coach Campbell
SHS community honors beloved past parent and coach On April 18, the Sacred Heart community mourned the passing of past parent, community supporter, and LMS football coach Bill Campbell. While his impact, generosity, and love for SHS is felt throughout campus, his mentorship of boys and girls in the eighth grade has left a lasting legacy. “For 16 years, Bill Campbell was the head coach of the Sacred Heart boys’ Varsity A flag football team and the girls’ eighth grade flag football team,” said LMS Boys’ Athletic Director Jeff Reynolds. “The boys and girls always return to campus with the same view, that playing for Coach Campbell was the highlight of their eighth grade year. His devotion to coaching kids about what football can mean as a team sport and the life lessons it brings with it are at the core of what a Sacred Heart studentathlete is all about. His inspiration and love for the game and his players will forever remain in the hearts of the students, coaches, and parents that were lucky enough to have him on their sidelines.”
In recognition of the 15th anniversary of girls’ flag football game versus Menlo School, the game was renamed the Campbell Cup, in remembrance of Coach Campbell. The Gators honored their late coach by topping the Knights with a shutout victory, 19-0, on June 2.
