Congratulations to St. John's High (Shrewsbury, MA) basketball coach Bob Foley, who recently became New England's all-time winningest coach! Foley, from the Holy Cross Class of 1963, passed Durfee High coach Skip Karam, and as of Monday had 660 high school wins to his credit.
Bob Foley played basketball at Holy Cross, and was a co-captain his senior year. Incidentally, his senior-year squad stumbled down the stretch, losing six of its last eight games to finish with what had to be a disappointing 16-9 record, after beginning the year 14-3. This is just something I noticed while perusing the media guide. I don't mean to diminish Coach Foley's recent accomplishments.
And I should probably mention that Coach Foley is known to me as "Mr. Foley" because he was my history teacher my junior year at St. John's High. He's a regular attendee at the Hart, sitting under the hoop closest to the HC bench.
