HARRY M. (CAP) SHEUE, the legendary former athletic director and coach at Huntington Beach High School and a 1987 inductee into the Orange County Sports Hall of Fame, died June 5 at age 91. Sheue, who came to Huntington Beach High in 1925, worked there for 39 years before officially retiring in 1964. But he remained active in school affairs, addressing the freshman class each September for more than 20 years. In 1967, the campus football stadium was renamed Sheue Field in his honor.

JIM O’HARA, Westminster High football coach, collapsed Dec. 22 in the school’s weight room after completing several laps around the school’s track with his son, Brian, and was pronounced dead at Humana Hospital in Westminster an hour later. He was 51. O’Hara was an assistant and head coach at Westminster for 16 years. He served as a guidance counselor and was credited for initiating a study hall for Westminster athletes to assist them with their academics.
