Tournament coordinator Bain passes away at 61
Brian Bain, longtime coordinator for the FHSAA Wrestling and Girls Volleyball Finals state tournaments, died Friday morning at age 61.
Bain, a longtime teacher and contest official in Polk County, coordinated the FHSAA Wrestling Finals since 1998, and the FHSAA Girls Volleyball Finals since 2002. He is a member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
"Brian's presence will certainly be missed at our state championships. His organization and management will be a void to fill," said Gary Pigott, FHSAA Senior Director of Athletics. "Our condolences go out to his family. He will be missed as a friend to the FHSAA."
Services are planned for Tuesday, October 20, at 10 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Lakeland. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Bain's name to the National Kidney Foundation.
