Saturday, April 13, 2013 – Daily News Obituaries TRACK Continued from page 1A hoops and the Pac-12 as it is doctors and the Naval Academy. It's about a young woman who in the end impressed more off the court than she ever did on it. To hear Brose tell it, it's a story about fate and faith. Bruce Leroy Cannon October 9,1930 - April 6, 2013 Bruce Cannon peacefully passed away in his new home April 6, 2013 in Red Bluff, California. He was born on a farm in Newton, Iowa and was raised during the Great Depression, the youngest of 5 sons. He broke his first team of horses at the age of 6 and stayed true to this love his entire life. He was involved in rodeo, training and breeding of show horses and also a Ferrier. He married his high school sweetheart Beverly at the age of 19 in Newton, Iowa. They lived there while farming and competing in rodeo, Bruce as a saddle bronc rider and Beveriy as a trick rider. In 1956 they moved to California, while they continued to rodeo. Bruce also worked as a contractor and as a stunt man in the western movie industry in Hollywood. In 1962 Bruce gave up rodeo and they moved to Palmdale, where Bruce began training, shoeing and breeding horses full time. After he and Bev divorced in 1970, Bruce met Barbara Mojonnier and her 2 children, Dustin and Michelle in 1979. In 1981, they moved to a 17 acre ranch in Cottonwood, CA where Bruce built his training facility and Cannon Stallion Station. He was able to train and breed with a covered arena, barn and a roping arena. Over the years, he and Barbara showed, bred and raised American Paint and Quarter Horses, winning the APHA Superior Horse Award in Cutting along with many other distinguished awards. They chose to raise their children in a ranch style life where he taught them to ride, rope and cut cattle. He spent many years on the road hauling up and down the state to Junior and High School rodeos where he shared his love of horses with his family. Bruce is survived by his wife, Barbara Cannon, and their two children, Michelle Ferreira her husband Frank Ferreira and their three children Kirra, Luciana and Frank, along with Dustin Mojonnier his wife Rachel Mojonnier and their two children Troy and Grace. Markham once wrote, "There's a destiny that makes us brothers, none goes his way alone; all that we give unto the lives of others comes back into our own". With his strong Christian faith and his ability to relate well, not only with animals, but with people, Bruce touched the lives of many. He had a simple "cowboy" philosophy based on past experiences in life, and coupled with his faith, he made life-long friends that he considered family. As you read this now and feel the sorrow of his passing, know that with you in his life, he was abundantly fulfilled. The family is planning a celebration of life on May 26, 2013 at 2PM at 25180 Kansas Ave. Los Molinos, CA FRANCIS EUGENE PHILLIPS June 21, 1937 - March 20, 2013 Francis Eugene Phillips, 75 of Red Bluff, CA, passed away suddenly on March 20, 2013 at home due to a heart attack.

A lovely Memorial Service, officiated by the Vesper Lodge No. 84, F. & A.M., Red Bluff, was held on March 27, 2013 at the Hoyt-Cole Chapel of the Flowers, Red Bluff, CA. Private interment will be held in the future at the Vacaville-Elmira Cemetery, Vacaville, CA. A month after that Holiday Classic Brose was continuing to display all the characteristics of a potential superstar. In the newsroom we dubbed her "Freshman Fantastic." She averaged 18.1 points per game, the highest for any freshman point guard in California and third highest in the nation. Against Pleasant Valley, the section's perennial super power, Brose made 31 points hitting five 3-pointers in the process. "At that point, I knew she was something special," head coach Kathy Brandt said. Brandt said she had agreed to coach the Lady Spartans the year prior in part because she wanted the opportunity to coach Brose for four years. Then came a Jan. 26, 2010 home game against Paradise. The game wasn't going so well for Red Bluff, but Brose was right at her average, having scored nine points with 1:36 left before halftime. Brose went for a steal and fell to the floor. As the whistle blew and the players separated, Brose stayed down. The trainer rushed to her as the game took an unexpected pause. She was eventually helped off the court and returned to the bench with her knee iced and bandaged. Something didn't seem right. Two days later it was confirmed Brose had torn her anterior cruciate ligament. A common, but devastating, sports injury. Her season was over. Brandt said Brose came to her home to tell her the news. She was sobbing. "I told her 'you get today to cry and realize this has happened, but tomorrow you have to change it to I'm on my way to getting better,'" Brandt said. Brose went through rehab for a year. She attended a basketball camp at Stanford, where she tweaked her knee again. Still, she was able to return in time for the Lady Spartans' season opener her sophomore year. Brose scored 23 points against Lassen. The next day she dropped 27 on Central Valley. A week later on Dec. 11, NAME Continued from page 1A Prior to the shots, an officer shot a bean bag round and used other "less than lethal measures" in an unsuccessful attempt to take Stevens into custody, Nanfi- SOLAR 2010 the Lady Spartans had one more road game at a tournament in Ferndale before they would return to Red Bluff and make their home debut at the Holiday Classic. During the game Brose landed awkwardly again. "The way she reacted, the way she landed, I kind of knew," Brandt said. Brose had torn her ACL for a second time and would have to wait even longer to play in front of her home town again. "My hopes for getting a scholarship obviously diminished quite a lot especially after my last surgery," Brose said. "I knew that if I just worked hard, my hard work would eventually pay off some way, somehow." Ed Stroman has worked with many student-athletes who tried to overcome torn ACLs. "When an athlete goes down with an ACL it's devastating," he said. "I've been doing it for 30 years and it never gets any better." However, when Brose entered the Physical Therapy & Wellness Center there was something special about her. "Nobody had that calming personality that she had," Stroman said. It served her well. Determined to return, Brose went through rehab for a second time. "I'm sure there were some dark moments for her having to go through what she did with her knee, but I never saw it," athletic trainer Lonnie Scott said. "She was always really positive. She was up beat." Brose returned to the court Jan. 3, 2012, midway through her junior year. With Brose's help the Lady Spartans captured the Eastern Athletic League— South title and made a return to the playoffs. But it was in a different sport where Brose let everyone know she was back to the caliber of athlete she was before her injuries. The Bob Russell Award is handed out annually to the top male and female athletes at the Northern Section's Track and Field Masters Championships. At the 2012 championships, Brose left no doubt who should win it. She won the 100 meters with at time of 12.55 seconds. Then she beat the section's 400-meter champion in the 200 meters with a time of 25.93. She capped her night by leading the Lady Spartans 4x400 relay team to a first place finish and trip to the state meet. Despite tearing her ACL twice, Brose was the fastest female athlete in the Northern Section. "I've never been this Brose dressed for every basketball game as a senior. She scored just one point. Before the season started she was at a basketball camp playing alongside her sister Daisy. The two Broses were slated to start together in Red Bluff's backcourt for the upcoming season. Brandt said at the camp she got a first-hand glimpse of the sisters' special bond. At one point Daisy had the ball stolen from her, Brandt said she asked Lily whether she was just going to let that happen. Lily made a beeline toward the ball and stole it back for her team. At one point in the camp Brose had to come off the court. Her knee was bothering her. Brandt told Brose she wouldn't pressure her to play her senior year, after all there were other options now. Brose decided more or less to sit out her senior year of basketball. She practiced with the team, dressed for every game, but didn't play one competitive minute. "It was hard, but it was time. I have a better opportunity for myself now so I kind of had to put one dream aside for a bigger dream," Brose said. That dream came in the means of a Naval Academy scholarship — to run track. Brose's lone point came late in the season during a game against Enterprise. High school rules allow a player to come off the bench to shoot a free throw following a technical foul. When that situation presented itself, Brandt subbed in Brose. She made one of two free throws and when it was time to come sit back on the bench she turned and flashed a giant smile, Brandt said. "Had she progressed injury free from her freshman year she could have went wherever she wanted to go," Brandt said. to said. Stevens was agitated and in possession of a knife when he moved aggressively toward the officers, at which point he was shot by two officers as he advanced toward them, Nanfito said.

Track and field coach Corey Hein said he didn't know what to expect when Brose came out for the team her junior year. It took a few months before they found what events suited her athleticism. He said that night she overcame all the odds. "Her will to win just surpassed the competition that night," Hein said. For Stroman it's a moment that still gives him chills when he hears about it he said.

The county in response filed a motion to quash the subpoenas, 9A Brose's new dream doesn't end with running track for Navy. She hopes to become an orthopedic surgeon. For the past two years she's taken a Therapeutic Services Class at Red Bluff Union High School. Over that time she has worked alongside Scott, Stroman and even her own surgeon, Dr. Riico Dotson at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital, coming full circle from the days she was the patient. "She knows the protocols and the treatments. It's like having a 2- or 3-year seasoned employee working," Stroman said. Brose said throughout the years she always told herself there was a reason for everything. As it turned out basketball ended up pointing Brose toward a different route to her future. "I think it gets back to that master plan that some people have for themselves," Stroman said. "You don't always know your career path, but sometimes it falls right in front of you under the craziest circumstances It wasn't just her legs that carried Brose to the Naval Academy and a call from Rep. Doug LaMalfa congratulating her. She's a top-notch student as well, carrying a 4.3 grade point average. "She wants to be the best whether it's in the classroom or on the court or on the track. She wants to win," Brandt said. Todd Brose said his daughter has had a self-drive all her life. It's a trait everyone who comes into contact with her mentions off the top of their ahead, along with her humble nature. Red Bluff Athletic Director Rich Hassay said Brose's acceptance represents what high school sports is all about. It shows she's not just a great athlete, but a great student and, in the end, a great person. "Being accepted into a military academy as a Division I athlete is the pinnacle of success," Hassay said. "Not just for the student-athlete, but for the school, the athletic program and the family of the student awarded the honor." Brose has two months of school and track meets before she gets ready to leave for Annapolis, Md. "It's a good opportunity, but we already miss her," her mother, Karen Brose, said.
