Dedicated coaches recognized
For more than three decades, Trish Nicholson
has helped students realize their potential both in academics and athletics.
The ongoing efforts of the longtime and much-respected Hugh McRoberts Secondary
School teacher and coach were further recognized recently when she was bestowed
with the prestigious Bill Goodman Memorial Award by the Richmond Secondary
Schools Athletics Association.
An athlete herself, who has excelled in many
sports, Nicholson is perhaps best known for inspiring and guiding many athletes
and team to great heights in basketball and volleyball.
Time was also taken during the recent coaches
banquet to acknowledge the efforts of Paul Eberhardt and Rob Brown, whose
contributions extend well beyond the success their teams enjoyed on the field of
play.
Mike Charlton, too, was lauded for his
efforts throughout a long and comprehensive career that spanned several decades
and included coaching success in a wide range of different sports.
Many coaching colleagues were presented with
certificates in appreciation of milestone years of service in the school
district, while Richmond teams that qualified for provincial BC School Sports
and non-sanctioned championships were saluted—led by the McMath Wildcats,
collectively presented the Bob Jackson Participation Award.
