OK, we’ve taken care of the news thing and announced that Coach Elena Lovato is leaving TVCC. If you are looking for details about that, read this.
Now for the sad part.
I am going to be so sorry to see Coach Lovato leave. I know it was inevitable … she is an amazingly talented coach who deserves to move up and who I know we will one day see as a head coach on ESPN.
But I am going to miss her for more than wins … can’t say losses, because there were hardly any of those. I am going to miss her because she is class and dignity personified. She cares about her players and always does things the right way. She is a role model for the team, the school and the community.
Yes, she is all of that and even more. I really can’t find the words to say how much we are going to miss Coach Lovato or how impressed I’ve been while watching her the last two years.
Good luck, Coach … We love you and always will.

“I have truly been blessed the two years I have been here, and I feel like it’s God’s plan for me to move on,” Lovato said. “I can’t tell the community and all our fans how grateful and appreciative I am for their support and everything they did for us.
“I still expect nothing less than (championship) No. 9,” she added, referring to the program’s best-in-the-nation eight JUCO national titles. “I’m leaving, but I’m going to be a Lady Cardinal for life.” Continue reading “Elena Lovato Leaving TVCC”
