Mark Womack CoachDonCallan haspoured his life into Cedarville College athletics but especially into basketball. As he steps down after 35 years of coaching,he willremain as"Coach"to literally scores of players and coaches around the world. He has touched the lives of many, many people his high school Sunday school teens, his players, his fellow coaches, his contacts in Europe and Asia, and his countless friends both here and abroad. But perhaps his greatest strength was in his coach- ingrighthere atCedarvilleCollege. Hissuccessescan not only be judged by win-loss records over all those years,but also by his ability to mold boys into men. He has contributed much to the future of the young players who have passed through their Cedarville "experience." He has his heart and mind set on one goal: to share the Lord with others and to live for the Lord. So even though we will no longer see him pacing the sidelines or giving one of his players a pat onthe back,wewillseeJesusChristshinefrom him as he continues to serve here at Cedarville and around the world. As"Coach"himself would say,"To God be the glory." Shirley Schneider n Woolley slam dunks another one while Bobby watches. m.basketball 161
