local notes

A couple things happened this Friday that you may not have noticed.
First of all, Wethersfield boys soccer coach Rob Jachym earned his 100th win. The 100 win mark is something we seem to see with at least a couple coaches each year. Our local teams have a lot of success and the coaches deserve credit for those achievements. 100 certainly isn't an overwhelming milestone, but it is still well worth mentioning, and a testament to the success Jachym and the Eagles have had over the past eight years. They also came back nicely to beat E.O. Smith 1-0 after losing their first game of the season earlier in the week. That's not always as easy as it seems, particularly in soccer.
Secondly, the Wethersfield volleyball team got its first win of the season. That had added significance because it was the last local team in any sport (soccer, volleyball, field hockey, football) to get on the board this year. We're proud of these teams, and glad to see them all get wins. Now the Eagles can have some fun the rest of the way not having to worry about potentially going 0-fer.
