We will honor Special Olympics Coach Dave in a pre-game ceremony on Friday April 25. Dave died suddenly on February 1, 2014.

In September, the West Ranch Action Team (which is a group of West Ranch students who volunteer to make a difference in the community) had the honor of meeting 27 very special athletes and their amazing coaches when we hosted the Special Olympics Sharks Softball Team for a Clinic/Scrimmage. One of those coaches was Mr. Dave Cossairt.
