Long-time Osceola High assistant softball coaches Fred Klammer and George Hill were honored Friday when the dugouts at Coffey Field were named in their honor.

Klammer and Hill have been on the OHS coaching staff since Coach George Coffey took over the program in 1995. Hill is taking a break this year while he coaches his grandchildren in a pair of youth leagues.

It might be a stretch to call Osceola County the epicenter of Florida high school softball excellence, but three local teams put on impressive performances at spring break tournaments.

Osceola, 20-3, reached the Blue bracket championship game at the Kissimmee Klassic last weekend, knocking off a pair of defending state champions in the process.

Four state champions, one from Illinois, dot the 32-team field, which is split into 16-team Gold and Blue brackets.
