Foster’s versatility as a coach was matched only by her success. All told, she coached six different sports in her 25 years at Dobie -- four for girls and two for boys. In addition to her state softball titles in 1995 and 1997, she guided three boys teams and one girls team to state cross-country meets.

Two of her runners won state titles: Raz Bowman, who took the 800 meters in 1998, and Brian McKinstry, who claimed the cross-country title in 2001.

Still, softball provided Foster with a lasting legacy. With Williams on the mound, her 1995 team went 35-0. Two years later, she guided a team that had finished third in district to another state crown. She stands as the only coach in Pasadena ISD history to win two state titles in the same sport.
