On Saturday, March 16, at 11:00 am Kelso School District will hold a dedication ceremony for renaming Lassie Beach softball field to McMahon Field at Lassie Beach. The dedication is in honor of Mike McMahon, long-time fastpitch coach and Hall of Famer. Refreshments will be available after a short ceremony.
A Hilander alum himself, McMahon graduated from Kelso High School in 1968. He was head fastpitch coach from 1994 to 2011 with 330 wins and three state championships. McMahon was inducted into the Washington State Softball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2010.
Also on Saturday at McMahon Field at Lassie Beach, the Kelso High girls softball team has their home opener at 1:00 pm against Silas High School.
