Biography
“Shelly Bollin is an outstanding example for successful high school softball coaches,” NHSCA executive director Bob Ferraro said. “They place a high value on the teamwork skills players learn for success in the classroom and on the field, and we are proud to be honoring her.”
Bollin coached Brazoswood High to a perfect 37-0 record and won the Class 5A state title. Brazoswood finished No. 1 in the final USA Today Super 25 High School Softball team rankings and was one of only two teams in the final Super 25 to finish the season unbeaten (Texas Class 4A champion Weatherford High was the other).
Bollin resigned from her position at Brazoswood with a career record of 171-30-1. In 2010 Bollin accepted a position at Clear Brook High School where she coached for a year, leading the team to a playoff berth.
Bollin passed away in January of 2014 after a hard fought battle with cancer.
