​LONG TIME SF SECTION COACH AND ATHLETIC DIRECTOR PASSES
The AAA/SF Section is saddened to report that one of our veteran coaches and athletic directors, Keith Norman, passed away June 24. Keith spent the past 19 years with the SFUSD as a teacher at ISA and John O'Connell high schools as well as serving as athletic director at both schools and coaching both girls and boys basketball and badminton. For the past 18 months Keith had battled cancer, but unfortunately his opponent was too much to overcome. We truly have lost a great man who will be remembered and missed for a long time! Note, the O'Connell gymnasium was recently named in his honor. Check this link for a video of him speaking at the ceremony. Some wonderful words to remember his dedication to his students and their success!
ANOTHER ATHLETIC SEASON COMES TO A CLOSE
The 2018-19 interscholastic athletic year has rapidly come to an end. We witnessed many exciting games that included thrilling victories and heartbreaking defeats, all featuring athletes who put in many hours of hard work to improve their abilities. Of course this all wouldn't be possible without the dedication of our many coaches and athletic directors who've instructed and supported our students to not only become the best they can be in their athletic endeavors, but also learn the skills to help them be successful in life. To all of these fine men and women, a BIG THANKS for your time and efforts. And with that, it's now time to enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating summer break, and we look forward to seeing all of you back in the fall when we begin another year of high school sports action!

If you have any information about major school events or athletes who have made it to the Professional or Olympic level, please forward it to us via e-mail.
ANNUAL CHAMPIONS POSTED
The updated AAA Annual Champions by Sport are posted on our Schedules/Results/Standings page under the SPORTS menu item above. Being that the AAA dates back to 1924, there are a number of years in various sports for which we have been unable to determine the champion. We are, therefore, requesting your assistance in helping us "fill in the blanks." If you have any information that might shed some light on those "dark years", please call us at 415-920-5185 or send an e-mail to John Zlatunich. Together we can create and build a concise history of the AAA!
