During her 10-year tournament career in sparring and kata, 1975-84, she earned second place in 1978 and 1979 in the Martial Arts Rating System National Championships in the Women’s Black Belt Kata Division. She was inducted in 1991 to the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame, which named her Woman of the Year. In 1992 she was inducted into the Eastern USA Martial Arts Association Hall of Fame, which also selected her as its Woman of the Year. In 1979, she was recognized as National Wonder Woman of the Year by the National Organization for Women for community service. She helped develop the Dyna-Tots Program for preschool children and has conducted self-defense programs for women. She produced and starred in a weekly cable television show, American Karate, which aired locally for 10 years. At the University of Delaware, she scored four goals in a 1972 game to set a record that lasted 37 years. She coached the Blue Hens’ first varsity women’s lacrosse teams in 1978 and 1979 and, as women’s coach those same years, led the Hens to 16th in the Eastern AIAW championships. She was the first woman to be inducted into the International Modern Arnis Foundation Black Belt Hall of Fame. FRANK SHEA Frank Shea officiated football, basketball and in Delaware for over a half-century. It was the late 1940s and Shea, a teenager, began officiating basketball games at the YMCA near his birthplace, Blackstone, Massachusetts. Some 50 years later, Shea would become the first recipient of a special whistle – The Frank Shea Gold Whistle Award. He received the award for his five decades of service to the Northern Delaware Football Officials Association. Shea refereed basketball in Delaware for 25 years, but football is where Shea made his mark. He stopped working on the field in 1997 and moved into the press box to become a timer, called “Dr. of Clockology” by his colleagues. In 2001 at age 72 Shea worked briefly as referee in the Blue-Gold All-Star football game, the 12th time that he had worked the classic. The next summer at the National Football Officials Association banquet, Shea was honored as the National Distinguished Official of the Year – the first Delaware official to receive the award. Shea was a charter member of the organizing committee when the Delaware high school football tournament began in 1971 and served on the committee for 36 years. Frank was on the field as an official in some of the early years of the state tournament. In 1982 Shea developed the officials’ association’s training materials and guidelines for rules and on-field mechanics, the bulk of which are still in place.

In 1957 he was quarterback on Laurel’s unbeaten football team and was selected to play in the 3rd Annual Blue-Gold All-Star game. He was the starting quarterback for the Gold and would become the 1st former player to coach in the game when he returned in 1964. In basketball at Laurel in 1958, he averaged 21.0 pts. per game and was named 1st team All-State. At Swarthmore College, Sirman was a standout in football, basketball, and baseball. He returned to Sussex County in 1962. At Bridgeville, he coached two unbeaten football teams during a 23-game winning streak from 1966 to 1968. Ben was selected the state’s basketball coach of the year in 1968, when he led Bridgeville to a 19-1 record, losing only to state champion P. S. duPont. From 1972 to 1991, he was athletic director at Seaford. During that time Seaford teams won 52 conference or division titles and nine state championships. Sirman chaired the boys state basketball committee for 15 years. He was named Delaware athletic director of the year in 1991. Sirman's accolades also include: Delaware Football Coaches Association Award of Excellence in 1995; “Ben Sirman Night” recognition from his former Bridgeville players in 2003; inducted into the DIBCA Delaware Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005; and the Herm Reitzes Award from the Delaware Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association in 2009.
