The matriarch of the Shiroma football family has passed away. Lou Shiroma’s last breath was taken on Saturday at the age of 83. She now joins her husband Hal in football heaven.
Mrs. Shiroma the support backbone of the family while Hal was building the sport of football on Guam from the Tamuning Eagles youth football dominance in the early 1970’s to the UOG Tritons varsity team in the late 1970’s/early 1980’s.
Hal and his sons then created the Hal’s Angels in 1983. Forty years strong and it’s still winning championships.
All the while, Mrs. Shiroma has been there on the sidelines in love and support of the sport and her football family.
The five Shiroma sons all became gridiron stars and kept it going as youth coaches.
Buzzy, Bo, Ivan, Ty and Blu were all household names on the field before molding young talent for the last four decades.
