Lincoln's Coach Mark Shapiro
Coach Mark Shapiro has stepped down as the Lincoln Tigers head coach. He will still be involved as a coordinator doing paperwork, scheduling, etc. He will no longer have the responsibilities as a head coach.
Shapiro started teaching at Lincoln High School in 1970 and retired in 2009. He took over the Tigers softball team in 1998 and they won 444 games with 140 losses and 9 ties in his 21 year coaching career. The 2007 Lincoln team won the city championship. No other Northern League team has won a city championship.
"Mark did a tremendous job as head coach for so many years at Lincoln. He represented Lincoln with class and professionalism and built a program that was always one of the best in the Northern League. What truly stood out was Mark's care for his players and all the softball players in the City Section," said Dick Dornan, softball sport coordinator for the CIF LA City Section. "He oversaw the City All-Star games, was responsible for the All-Academic teams, and was a dedicated league rep on the softball advisory committee during his tenure. His passion for teaching and coaching the game of softball was very evident during his career. He left the program in very good shape and he will be missed in the softball community."
NELA Sports One reached out via e-mail to Belen Benitez, a former player from the 2007 championship team and LHS class of 2008:
"Shapiro was a phenomenal coach, role model and a father figure for my sisters and I. My parents worked a lot growing up and as a result of that they didn't have the time to attend our games but Shapiro was always there to guide us to a brighter future. Shapiro taught me the fundamental tools to become a mentally and physically strong competitor. I dedicated my teenage years to Softball because he believed in me and made it possible to compete in the next level."
"I played 2 years for LA Valley College and received a Division I softball scholarship to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. My dreams and goals were conquered and I will be forever grateful for Shapiro's dedication and sacrifice to help develop young rising athletes in the inner city community."
"Coach Shapiro made a huge impact in my life and I feel blessed to have been a product of his legacy."
