Former Blue Mountain Community College Softball Coach Passes Away

Former Blue Mountain Community College softball coach, Tom Bequette, passed away unexpectedly on March 11, 2012, in the Tri-Cities. 

Tom coached softball at BMCC from 2005 – 2009 and accumulated a 102-117 win/loss record.  Tom took the BMCC softball team to the 2008 NWAACC tournament, where they earned a fifth-place finish. 

Tom was dedicated to the sport of softball and took great pleasure in helping young women achieve their athletic goals.  Tom most recently coached softball at Hermiston High School. He was named the Oregon School Activities Association softball coach of the year for all classes in 2003.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tom’s family.
