A Standing Ovation for Gary Tribula 🦅
Before kickoff at Friday night's home opener, the Lake Shore community stopped everything to celebrate a legend. Athletic Director Daryl Besant presented Gary Tribula with a plaque honoring 58 years of service to the district, joined on the field by his family and friends.
Gary started at Lake Shore in 1968 as a middle school math teacher, spent 33 years shaping students in the classroom, and coached football, wrestling, baseball, and swimming along the way.
Decades after retiring from teaching, he never really left, running the game clock and holding down the scorers' table at Lake Shore athletic events ever since.
His plaque now has a permanent home inside the new press box, right where he'll keep working the clock for years to come.
