The BOLD Softball family is saddened by the passing of former BOLD Softball Coach ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ โ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐โ ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐ป, who passed away on Saturday, August 1, 2026.
Chet dedicated many years to BOLD as a teacher, softball coach, football announcer, and bus driver. Even after retiring from coaching, he was never far from the softball program. He continued driving the bus, supporting the team, and, of course, putting in his two cents when needed. โค๏ธ He adored his softball girls, and his love for BOLD Softball continued long after his coaching days were over.
